Bleeding Love
Chapter Four
Disclaimer: The usual.
One month later…in Temperance's apartment…she's drinking a glass of wine.
She sighs. Booth had gone on a month long undercover operation not long after their "Andy is not Booth" conversation. She takes a sip of wine, her first sip of it. Then, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey sweetie." Came the voice of Angela over the line.
"Hey Ange."
"What are you doing?"
"Sitting, drinking a glass of wine."
"Missing Booth?" She inquired, THAT tone in her voice.
"No, Ange. Just relaxing."
"Sure, sweetie." Ange said. Then, there was a knock on the door.
"I need to go Ange, someone just knocked on the door."
"Fine. Bye." Ange said, and hung up. Temperance got up and went to answer the door. She opened it and whom did she see leaning against the doorframe…
"Booth." She said, in shock. He smiled his charm smile at her. She then did something so uncharacteristically Brennan, even Booth was surprised. She smiled and launched herself into his arms. He couldn't help but smile and fling her around in the hallway, her laughter pealing out.
"I missed you." She said, once he set her down, both of them still smiling.
"I missed you too." He said. His hands were still around her lower back, holding her slightly to him. Temperance tipped her head up and looked into those endless brown pools. Suddenly, she closed the gap between them and captured Booth's lips softly with hers.
"Temperance…wait." He said, pulling away.
"What is it?" She asked, hurt in her eyes. He softly stroked her cheek.
"Are you sure you wanted to do that?"
"Yes." She said, not holding back. He pulled her closer and met her lips with his. She deepened the kiss.
"Come inside." She mumbled against his lips. She then took his hand and led him, shutting the door, but opening another one at the same time.
I apologize that I did not have a chapter up sooner. I was busy (and still am. I am sacrificing time in which I should be doing homework.) But I have another chapter in the works right now. I may have it up tonight. We shall see. Thank you to those that review and are still reading.
