Explanations


Hey! I'm back! Thanks for all your fantastic reviews! Because of you I decided not to end it there, and instead wrote Booth's POV. I know it's short, but I was going for the "short and sweet" genre here.

Please review. You'll make my day. Love Jess

He just couldn't get the memory of her arms around him out of his head. It was like an insect, relentlessly tormenting him, diving in and out of his mind, so close and yet so far.

He knew she was out of bounds. Ever since the day he'd first walked into the Jeffersonian and set eyes on the woman who was to be his partner, he'd known.

He couldn't lie; he'd always been attracted to her. But he'd missed the moment when it turned into something else, something more.

And now he was sitting here at Wong Foo's trying to work out an explanation for his feelings.

He let out a small chuckle and took a swig from his beer bottle.

Bones must be rubbing off on me, he thought, thinking logically, trying to find a rational answer. Who am I kidding? There's no explanation for the way I feel about Bones.

Once again he thought about the way she had clung to him when he found her in the warehouse. Her vulnerability had shocked and scared him. Bones was never vulnerable. Never frightened. He'd never seen her that affected by anything.

He knew that ever since her parents' disappearance, she had striven to be strong, untouchable. She closed herself off from pain. She'd learnt martial arts. Studied her butt off to become a world famous anthropologist and author. Lived on her own, never had a secure romantic relationship. She was the ultimate independent woman.

But she had needed him that night. Needed her "Knight In Shining FBI Standard Issue Body Armour," as Angela called him. He been needed by lots of people, as a law enforcement agent, he got that a lot.

But Bones was different. He loved her. More than Rebecca, more than Tessa. She made him feel complete.

And he was glad she had depended on him.


I am thinking of doing a last chapter to tie everything up. Let me know if you have any good ideas!

Please review. Pretty please with a chocolate covered Booth on top. Hmm, might have to keep thm to myself...
