I don't own Bones.
Brennan's Office
Booth came to her office door and stopped at the scene in from of him. There she sat on the floor, crying. She was hugging her legs close to herself and had none other than jasper in her hand close to her face. It appeared to him she was talking to the pig. He couldn't help but give a small smile at the scene. He slowly walked in, watching her carefully. He saw her turn her face slightly away from him. It hurt him to see her turn her face away knowing that they were together and she was still trying to hide. He moved to sit down beside her and put is arm around her. She didn't move away like he thought she might. Instead she moved in close to him and apologized. He was baffled she was saying sorry to him. Why was she sorry? She had done nothing wrong.
"Bones, hey, why are you sorry? You did nothing wrong. I am not mad at you and I could never be because you said and did exactly what you thought was right. If I had anything to add it would be you should have given him a nice kick to the boys. That would have made it better." He gave her his signature charm smile and of course she couldn't help but laugh a little and give a shy smile.
"Booth, that's mean! Though I have to say it would have been rather funny. I don't know I just feel bad that you have to deal with this. You shouldn't have to deal with him. The relationship I had with him had nothing to do with you and he should have never dragged you into it. I'm sorry I lied too."
At that he was puzzled. He wasn't sure what she lied about. Maybe he had missed something, but he was pretty sure he hadn't. "Bones look at me. What did you lie about? I don't recall you ever lying to him and I am pretty certain I would have noticed that you lied to me. You aren't that good at lying when it comes to me. So, what is it?" He sat there watching her. She looked like a sad terrified little girl. He didn't know whether to hold her tighter or move away and look at her like most men would. Before he could decide on which she turned back to him with fresh tears running down her cheeks.
Softly she replied, "I said we were engaged Booth. Well, that we were getting engaged really soon. That was a lie. You know it and I do too. You aren't going to ever get there. I will drive you away like I did him. I have come to realize that's what I do. Don't you see that? You are a great guy if you can't tell that's what I think about you. I mean I just told Sully what I think about you and the kind of guy I see you as. I am not worthy of it." By the end of this Booth was so shocked and scared that she was trying to end the relationship he almost freaked.
'Stay calm, stay calm, don't panic she is just a little freaked right now. Just stay calm and calm her down. You can't calm her if you aren't calm.' He let out a steady breath before he pulled away just enough to see her face. "Look Bones, I am not going anywhere. Ever! You would have to kill me to get me to leave. I just couldn't do it. I don't care about what Sully did. He's just a jerk that let an amazing girl go and now regrets it. Yes, I know you aren't a possession and he can't just let you go you could have left him. I am well aware of that. I would never in a million years let you go without a fight. You didn't lie about the engagement either. Think about what we agreed on. We both said we would get married in a few months. That doesn't mean I can't propose to you tomorrow or next week even. So there's no need to apologize. What do you say; you, me, and even Jasper can go to the diner get some food and then go to our temporary home?"
She set there staring at him for a minute or two debating on whether she wanted Thai food or stuff from the Diner. "How about we get Thai food, go to your place eat and watch another movie. I say this time we watch an action packed movie. I heard there are some great ones. I have just the right one, you may have it. If you don't, its ok we can do another movie. I say this sounds better because then we can sit inside and as you like to call it, cuddle!" 'Now I know he can't deny that. I seem to be able to get what I want when I give him that face he calls the puppy dog pout, which of course I threw out there to get my way. I know he won't argue though, he would never pass up cuddling with me. Also, to be inside where he could be in private just, makes it better.'
He could never deny her anything and now that she has that look he really can't. That is the second time she has used that on him, though he knew that he wouldn't have turned her down anyways even without that look. Cuddling with her was the best thing. He would never turn down time to spend with her. That would never happen in a million years. She is just too much to turn away. He would never understand how Sully didn't want her all the time for the rest of his life. She is the most amazing person he has ever known. If someone had told him when they first met that he would be dating her and planning on getting married he would have laughed and while he was laughing and the guy laughed with him he would pull his gun and possibly unload all nine into him. He never in a million years thought he would fall in love with a girl like her.
"You know what Bones, you are right. It would be much better to get Thai and go back home. Let's go get our food and get ready to have a great evening. What movie was it that you want to watch?" 'God I hope it's something good. I mean there are some action movies that are horrible.'
"I believe they are called "The Bourne Trilogy". If I am to understand you have to watch the first one to understand what is going on. I want to eventually watch them all. Do you mind? If you don't want to watch it that's fine, I just thought it would be a good movie."
Booth wasn't sure whether to scream or pout. The one action packed movie she wanted to watch pretty much had to deal with shooting people. "Sure Bones that will be just fine. I own all three."
Author's Note: Alright, I got one person wanting a sequel. I have started it for sure now. Only thing you guys who are reading will get to know is there is going to be some pretty close calls for these two.
