Chapter 7: The answer to his question
A/N: I am so sorry for not updating this story in so long, but I started college and that has been taking up most of my time lately. So if I don't update for a while after this chapter you will know why. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please tell me what you think of it.=)
It was two months after the Pearson case and Booth wanted to do something special for Brennan. They never had their first date yet. Sure they went out to eat plenty of times, but they also did that when they were 'just partners' and Booth wanted their first date to be something that neither one of them would ever forget. He had the whole date planned, all he had to do is convince Brennan to leave her office earlier than she had planned.
o-o-o-B&B-o-o-o
Booth arrived to the Jeffersonian and walked into her office. When he got there, he pulled her door shut and pulled the blinds so no one could see them.
"Hello, beautiful"
Brennan jumped startled out of her chair and whipped around to be greeted by a charming Booth.
"Hello Booth, I wasn't expecting you to come by tonight. I thought I told you that I would be staying here and finishing the last chapter of my book. I am sorry that I forgot to tell you." She said with a sympathetic smile.
"Don't worry about it." He said walking over to her chair and helping her up so that they were looking into each others eyes. "You did tell me. It's just that I kind of had a special night planned for us before you told me and was hoping that I could convince you to go on a date with me." He said with his best charm smile that he only used on her.
"Oh? What did you have planned for us, Seeley Booth?" Brennan said with a seductive smile."
"It's a surprise"
"Ah, I hate surprises! You know that Booth" Brennan said pouting.
Booth pulled Brennan closer to him and placed a kiss on her lips before pulling away from the kiss and whispering in her ear.
"I think that you will really like this surprise, or I hope you will"
o-o-o-B&B-o-o-o
Booth was very nervous of how Brennan would react to their date. He had everything planned to make sure that it was romantic and he was pretty sure it was just that. He was still nervous of how she would react to it though. Not about how she would react to their date, but of the question he was going to ask her.
When Booth pulled into the parking lot of their location Brennan turned to look at him with a confused look on her face.
"Booth I thought that we were going to go on a date. Why are we at the University where we first met?"
"Bones please stop asking me questions. You will see why we are here, just wait for a little longer okay?"
"Okay, Booth" Brennan said annoyed.
When Booth and Brennan walked into the lecture hall where they first met seven years ago; Brennan was speechless. The room was completely dark besides the stage. On the stage there was a candle lit table with two chairs sitting across from each other with a vase full of two dozen red roses and one yellow. The red roses represented the love he would always have for Brennan and the yellow rose represented the friendship they would always share no matter what her answer would be. Beside the table lay a blanket full of scattered red roses.
"Booth…. what is all of this?"
"This, Bones is a dinner in the first place that I ever set my eyes on you"
"I see that Booth, but how did you do it?"
"That doesn't matter okay? All that matters is that the door is locked and no one will be interrupting our night together because I have it all arranged okay?"
"okay" she said walking up the steps to the stage and taking her seat in the chair across from Booth.
o-o-o-B&B-o-o-o
When Booth and Brennan were finished eating, Booth thought it was time to pop the question that he so badly wanted to ask her for years. Booth reached for Brennan's hand.
"Bones can I ask you a question?"
"Of course ,Booth. You know that you can ask me anything."
"Bones this question is a little different from any other question I have ever asked you before. It is even bigger than when I asked you to give us a chance outside of the Hoover building."
"Booth…? "
"Bones just listen to me okay? When I saw you for the first time on this stage I knew that I would spend the next 30, 40, or 50 years with you. I knew you were special from that day, Bones. I knew I would fall in love with you. I also knew it wouldn't be easy convincing you, but I knew I would because there was just something about you. When I told you that I wanted to give us a chance and you rejected me because you wanted to protect me from yourself and because you didn't think you had my kind open heart and that you could never change. I knew I should have told you something else. You do have my kind of open heart, Bones and I don't want you to ever change because I love everything about you. You weren't protecting me, Bones, you were hearting me. I don't want a life without you and I would never ask you to change. I love the way you just say what is on your mind and don't care what other people think, I love the way you smile and the way you laugh, and I love the way you talk all squinty even though I don't know what you are saying half of the time, I love everything about you Temperance 'Bones' Brennan."
Booth let go of her hand and walked over to her chair and kneeled on one knee.
"Booth…?"
Booth removed the velvet box out of his pocket to reveal a beautiful engagement ring. "Bones I know you don't believe in marriage, but you also didn't believe in love and now you do. Temperance 'Bones' Brennan, Will you marry me?
Brennan could barley breath. She thought he would never ask her to be his wife because she told him so many times that she didn't believe in marriage, but she thought about this moment for so long and she so badly wanted it to happen.
"YES!,YES!, I will marry you, Seeley Joseph Booth!" . Brennan said pulling Booth up from the floor and wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him with so mush passion that she wanted this moment to last forever.
A/N: What did you think? Was it to much? I would love to hear what you thought before I continue with the rest of their night together. =)
