Here is the next chapter, obviously.
Don't own Bones, but I do own this plot. lol! That's about all I own.
CH. 7
The next morning Booth awoke early. He spent the next hour cooking his girlfriend breakfast. He made everything he could think of that Brennan would like: bacon, eggs over easy fried in bacon grease, buttered toast, hash browns, sausage, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, and an omelet with everything imaginable inside of it. He was lucky that Brennan kept a well stocked freezer. It didn't take long for the delicious scent of cooking food to drift into the bedroom. At first Brennan tried to ignore it, wanting more time to sleep after her rather eventful night. However, after her stomach began to rumble, she opened her eyes. Her bed was a mess of white sheets and blankets. She groaned and reached over for Booth; he wasn't there. Her tired brain pieced together the scent of cooking food and a missing Booth: He must be in the kitchen.
"Hey," Booth greeted her with a kiss on the cheek. "I hope you're hungry."
"Yeah, I could use some food. What all did you make?"
"Everything."
"Everything?"
"Yep, everything." Brennan gave him a questing look. "Just wait and see," he assured her, kissing the top of his head while he stirred the gravy. Just pick a place to eat and I'll bring you a plate here in a few minutes."
She shrugged and headed off towards the couch.
Five minutes later Booth walked into the living room with two enormous plates of food. "What is this?" she laughed as he sat a plate down in front of her on the coffee table.
"It's breakfast," he said through a mouth full of bacon. "Here, try the biscuits, I made them from scratch."
Brennan merely smiled and opened her mouth, allowing him to place a piece of the biscuit he was holding into it. "Mmmmm," she smiled after a few seconds of chewing, "It's really good."
"Glad ya like it; it's a family recipe."
"If the rest of your family cooks as good as you do, I'll marry you on the spot just for the food."
"Ha, ha, ha," Booth fake laughed.
"Ohhh, did I make Booth sad?" she teased, pinching his cheek. "How can I ever make it up to you?" she asked, batting her eye lashes the way little girls do.
"We'll get to that later," he assured her, "but for now I have to get some food in me to be able to keep up with you."
She just smiled as she too began to eat her food.
They spent a few hours outside in the snow. They had another snowball fight; Brennan kicked Booth's butt again, of course. The rest of the day they spent curled up in bed, watching a DVD Booth had in his car on Brennan's laptop. Brennan had never seen the movie Pride and Prejudice. She had read the book, of course, and had enjoyed it thoroughly. Booth blushed a bit when he told her the only movie he had with him was Pride and Prejudice. "It's one of my favorites," he admitted shyly. Brennan only laughed as she sent him out to his car to retrieve it. They ended up watching it twice and then fell asleep together, holding one another.
Wednesday was spent in bed, as was Thursday. Neither wanted to face the harsh reality of what all they had done over the past week. They had forever crossed the invisible line that separated them as partners. They were not even sure if they were supposed to tell anyone about their relationship, and if they were, who were they supposed to admitt it too? Cullen would kill them, and Cam, well, Cam would kill them too. For the meantime they decided to keep it a secrete. Brennan would admit to Angela that she had just been joking about the whole making out thing and that Booth had spent the week sleeping on her couch. She would then ask Angela not to say anything to anyone because she really didn't want it getting back to Cam anytime soon. She had enough issues with Cam; she didn't need for her to know about her and Booth's relationship. She had always been looking for an excuse to break them up as partners, and if she found out that they were secretly sleeping together, she would blab to everyone and they would be forced apart.
It wasn't until Thursday evening that they left one another's side. Booth said he was going to take a shower and Brennan said she had decided to step outside for a bit to check out the condition of the roads. Booth emerged from the shower and dressed. After Brennan didn't return, he decided he better go out and get her. He made two cups of hot chocolate first, and then headed out. She was nowhere to be seen, but a fresh pair of footprints leading towards the igloo they had built days before gave her position away. Booth carefully crawled into the igloo. Brennan sat leaning against the far wall, her knees drawn up to her chest, her forehead resting on her knees. "What's wrong, Bones?" Booth asked, setting down the cups and crawling over to her.
"I just...I don't want this all to end!" she sobbed, her head still resting on her knees. "I'm afraid of what will happen when everyone finds out about us. I'm afraid of what people will think and say. I just...I can't lose you!"
"Oh, Sweetheart!" Booth wrapped his arms around her, "You're not going to lose me," he whispered in her ear. "Who cares what other people think and say? They're just jealous if they start talking about us behind our backs, that's all."
"I know, but this week has been the best time of my life and I don't want it to end," she cried into his chest. "I'm just scared that things will change between us once we return to the real world, that's all."
"I'm scared too," he whispered, "I'm scared too."
I added the whole movie thing in there just because I LOVE P&P! Reviews???
