More Beautiful Days

Ch 7
Still during A Night at the Bones Museum
Angela is surprised to see her friend Brennan with Booth and Parker. She gives them a smile. "Hey guys, what are all of you doing here?" She asks in her nosy roundabout way.
"We just came from dinner. I am glad you called Dad's boss wouldn't stop talking to Bones. I thought I was going to fall asleep." Parker smiled at Angela.
"Why were you guys having dinner with Booth's boss?" Angela asked.
"We were out to dinner. Hacker saw us and said hello. He is a big fan of Bones. You know what I mean, Angela." Booth blurted out before Brennan had a chance to speak.
"I see. Well, I want to show you what I found." She went on to demonstrate how she found the hieroglyphs. Parker laughed at her paint by numbers comment. At least someone knew what she meant. Booth and Brennan soaked in the information that she had given them.
Brennan thanked her friend. "Bren, call me when you get home. We have a lot to talk about." Angela smiled at her friend while Booth led her by her back and Parker took her hand. It was the sweetest thing she had ever seen. Angela wanted to know when she started dating Booth. She also wanted to know about Booth's boss. Obviously, she wasn't going to talk about it in front of Booth or Parker. She needed a thrill. She has been celibate for too long. She wanted to know what Agent Studly was like in bed. She needed to hear all of the details.
They drove Parker home. He fell asleep in the car. Booth made sure he got his backpack delivered. His homework was all ready done. He did that before he went to see Bones. Parker opened Brennan's door to the SUV. He gave her a hug. He whispered, "He really is sorry, you know." She kissed the top of his head and the Booth men went into Rebecca's.
She sat in the SUV for a few moments, waiting. She had all ready forgiven him. She didn't know when or why. She knew how jealousy could be bad. However, it could also be good. He cares. He really does care. Although she would never admit it at the time, but when he said that he wanted to be in bed with her, she had a shiver down her spine like she never had before. She would have to be careful about this, though. It isn't like any other man. She wanted to make love. She had never done that before and in a way, she felt like a virgin. She knew that the relationship with Booth was to be handled very carefully. She was very afraid to mess it up.
Not only did she have their partnership on the line, but she had this relationship with Parker. That first Christmas with Booth, she saw him. At the time she had no idea what Rebecca looked like. All she could see from Parker was a miniature version of Booth. She liked him instantly. She tried and often failed to use smaller words around him. Parker instantly liked Max. Sometimes Max would be out of town and she would take over his lesson. Booth would just sit and watch, amazed. She almost felt like she was teaching them both. It was hard not to love Parker. She knew she wasn't his mother. However, this was the first child she ever loved. She hadn't met her nieces until later. A lot was on the line with this relationship with Booth. She would not mess it up.
Booth got back into the SUV. He started to say something when he was bombarded by Brennan's lips. Needless to say, this was a nice surprise for him. He was still on the outs with her. Honestly, he was angry with her as well. She told the meatloaf story to Hacker. Hacker the pain in the ass, butt kissing doofus that wants to sleep with Bones. She is the only person who he has ever told that to. However, that was all momentarily forgotten with her kiss.
Finally, he broke away. "Bones, we can't make out in my son's mom's driveway. It wouldn't be polite." He smiled sheepishly at her.
"Yes, I agree. I am sorry."
"I'm not." He drove out of the driveway. They started talking. "I take it that I am forgiven."
"I wasn't trying to be mean. I was just stating a fact. We got interrupted by Sweets. We had the mummy to look at. I couldn't talk to you about it in front of Dr. Saroyan. I was surprised that you acted that way. I know you did because you care about me. I did not mean to be malicious when I was telling you what happened though. Please believe that." She thought about things from his point of view. It could have felt like a setup.
"I know that, Bones. I am glad that you forgive me. I do have a complaint, though." He hesitated.
"Okay, it is best to be honest. I prefer it, actually." She was slightly nervous about what he was going to say.
"I was upset that you told Hacker about the egg story. I know that it may seem trivial to you." She interrupted him, of course.
"Oh come on, Booth. How many people have you told the egg story to?" She asked as if it were an everyday occurrence.
"Only you, Bones. That is why I want to keep what's between us, ours. I am not saying that we have to hide what we are doing or anything. It's just I think that some things should be kept private." He was really trying hard to drive. It was hard not to pull over and start kissing her again.
"I understand. Although, I believe I am going to be broiled by Angela on the phone tonight. What should I say?" She asked, not really knowing what was okay or not.
"Grilled, Bones, it's grilled. I guess it depends on what Angela asks." He had no idea as to what depth those two talked.
"Well, I tell her almost everything. She does ask very specific questions."
"Does she know about us kissing before?" He wonders what all Angela really knew.
"Yes. She knows. She knows about when you fired me. She knows about the mistletoe. She doesn't know about any other kisses. Although, she hasn't specifically asked. When she knows I am seeing someone, she can ask some very thorough questions." Brennan laughed. "It is probably going to be worse since she has been celibate."
"Keep it PG13. I don't want her to know everything." He laughed. "Didn't I say what is between us is ours?"
"Yes, she will be very disappointed. She has heard some good stories. Although, I have heard quite a few good stories about her as well. I told her she had to stop when she started dating Jack. It got weird."
He nodded in agreement. They walked up to her apartment door. She let him in. He kissed her. She was overwhelmed with feelings. She hugged him. Then something hit her.
"You don't hug guys. Explain guy hugs to me again." She looked him straight in the eyes.
"Guy hugs are when I wanted to hug you, to hold you, but I felt like I couldn't. I had to make up something. I really liked the ones you gave me." He kissed her cheek and told her goodnight.
