Chapter 7 : A whisper in your ear
Thursday, June 6th
8:31 pm
When they broke apart, Booth was wearing his charm smile. The thunder rang out again, but none of them seemed to notice. When the lightning illuminated Brennan's face, Booth thought he had never seen such a beautiful thing. He rested his forehead on hers and ran the back of his hand on her cheek before lightly kissing her lips again. But his smile immediately faded when he exchanged look with her. Her eyes, as grey as the clouds in the stormy sky, as sad as the rain falling next to them, were not filled with what he had expected. They were filled with doubt and fear.
"Look Bones… Temperance… I'm sorry… I didn't mean… I thought…"
She lightly shook her head and forced a smile. Look what you've done, you stupid. Now he thinks you're gonna be mad at him because he kissed you… She managed to banish all negative thoughts from her mind and choose to take a teasing voice. "I was just wondering… this was not a guy hug, was it?"
A grins spread across Booth's lips as he pulled her into his arms again, not allowing her to escape his grasp. "Definitely not."
And so they stayed, none of them willing to leave the warm and comforting embrace, pretending they couldn't go anywhere while the storm was raging.

They had come back to Brennan's place, with their clothes cold and wet but their hearts happy and warm. And here they were now, lying under the messy fluffy sheets. To both of them, resting against the other's bare body felt natural, normal, as if it had always been this way. Temperance's doubts had faded away. She had let herself being invaded by this only feeling: this was nothing but a mistake. She was beginning to understand and admit that sometimes, thinking is no good.
"You know what?" Booth said in a soft voice, playing with a lock of her hair.
She gave him a light smile. "What?"
"I had a dream a few nights ago… We were…" He stopped and looked embarrassed. As he saw she was about to talk, he tightened his arms around her. "Never mind" He placed a kiss on her neck and she felt her breath as he whispered in her ear. "Temperance, I… You make me happy, more than you know. I love you". Not expecting her to reply, he kissed her again before burying his face in her hair and closing his eyes. Soon, she felt his muscles relaxing and his breathing becoming steady. In spite of herself, she gave a sigh of relief, and at the same time, cursed herself for being so weak. Why wasn't she able to say these mere three words when they were actually explaining what she was feeling inside? Come on Temperance Brennan, you're not a coward. Why dread something that hasn't happened yet? It's Booth, nothing wrong will happen if you tell him what you feel.
She gently turned her head. "I love you too, Booth…" She couldn't say whether he had heard her or not, nor if he was really asleep. But a large smile had spread accross his lips.

Yeah I know, this chapter was short. Maybe I should have included it with chapter 6 after all… Nevermind, the story is now finished! I'm now working on a new multichapter. I hope you'll like it, because now I began writing in English, it's easier for me and I'll add more descriptions that will make it better I think.
Thanks for reading anyway!
