I still don't own anything

Chapter 4

Brennan unlocked the door to her apartment and walked in flicking on the lights as she went. Booth followed happily.

They plopped down on the couch together with two glasses of wine and sighed contentedly.

"So how's Parker?" Bones asked and Booth smiled at the thought of his son.

"Pretty good. He's got his first crush." Booth said still smiling.

"Hmm…And?"

"He doesn't know how to tell her he likes her" Booth said unsure if he was still talking about his son or himself.

"What are you going to tell him?"

"I dunno. You're a girl. How would you want to hear it?" Booth asked both eager to hear her answer and proud of himself for finding such a great excuse to ask her.

"Booth I'm not a second grader. How would I know what this little girl wants?"

"Please Bones."

"Just teach him that cute little charm smile you try to use on me all the time."

"I don't know what you're talking about" Booth said innocently "Wait. Does it work? And did you just call me cute?!" he teased smiling ear to ear although he was seriously interested in the answer to his first question.

"Um… No"

"Yea Bones just admit it. You think I'm cute!"

"Do not!"

"Do to"

"Do not"

"Do to!"

"Shut up Booth."

"Fine"

"Good"

"Do to" he mumbled quietly and ran to the kitchen with his empty wine glass before she could protest. As he entered the kitchen he had an idea. He stared at the cookbook on her kitchen counter anticipating.

"Hey Bones!"

"What?"

"When's the last time you baked something?"

They ran threw the grocery store like little kids, frequently high-fiving when they found one of the ingredients they needed. Booth was riding the grocery cart like a scooter smiling and thinking about how much he loved it when his Bones let loose and just had fun. Especially when it was because of him.

Brennan was having the time of her life. She found it interesting that such a simple, boring task could be so much fun when she was with Booth. She couldn't think of anyone else that she had opened up to enough that she could act childish like this with. Any one else she trusted not to leave her. Booth had helped her experience so many things that she didn't think could be fun.

At the exact same moment they remembered the time Booth had taught Brennan how to 'dine and dash.'

They had so much fun laughing their asses off as they ran out of the restaurant. She felt so bad ass.

They looked into each others eyes as they continued to walk down the aisle. For one second they felt so euphoric and yet so relaxed, as if the moment was meant to be. It was so perfect. But only a second. As perfect as the moment was, as natural as it felt to be this way he wanted to get closer. He stared longingly at her soft lips. He wanted her so badly. All of her. Her stubbornness, her intelligence, her body…He had to tense all his muscles so he wouldn't pull her into him and crush his lips into hers.

She had to tense every muscle in her body so she wouldn't close the distance between them in one bound and rip his shirt off right in the middle of the grocery store.

People passing by walked quickly and tried not to stare. The moment seemed so private and so intimate that it just seemed rude to interrupt it in any way. Not to mention the sexual tension shooting in every direction like fire works.

"I think we have all the ingredients" Brennan said eager to break the silence before she did something she would regret.

"Yes we do Bones. Yes we do."
