A/N * Sigh * I have to get me one of these Boothlike men!!!!
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
"We've slept in again???? Five times in two weeks!!! Bones.....why don't you ever set your alarm?"
"Long story Booth, but my alarm clock is broken."
She rolled over and settled into the crook of his arm.
"We've got our meeting with Sweets this afternoon," she mumbled in between kisses to his chest.
"If you ask me he takes just a little too much interest in our private life. We're not telling the kid anything that happens in our bedroom Bones! You know he's going to want us to share and divulge our feelings..." he trailed off.
He lifted her chin and softly asked the question, "We're good aren't we Bones? No regrets?"
She smiled.
"If he was to ask....about your feelings....about us....hypothetically.....what would you say?" he asked hesitantly.
It amazed her that someone so strong, so sure of himself in almost all areas of his life, so perceptive in regards to matters of the heart should sound so insecure at this particular moment. She leaned up on her forearms and rested gently on his chest. Solemnly she looked him in the eyes.
At this particular moment, Booth didn't think he had ever seen anyone look more beautiful. Her hair was tousled, her eyes were a beautiful shade of blue this morning, her lips were still swollen from his kisses and she had a rosy glow thanks to a night of great love making.....
"I would tell him that what we have is transcendent....." she whispered, "...and I would tell him that THIS is worth it!"
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
The psychologist was sitting at his desk, drumming his fingers.
Brennan was sitting waiting patiently.
All of a sudden the door burst open and Booth strolled in.
"Sorry I'm late Sweets," he said without a trace of an apology in his voice.
"Sweets is of the belief that in being late you're trying to avoid our issues." She said as he plonked himself down on the sofa.
"Is that what you think?"
"No I just thought you were caught in traffic."
"Exactly Bones!" He said waving his index finger in a definitive manner.
Sweets watched their interplay and noted:
It would seem they were back to 'normal', even down to Booth being late.
It was 'relaxed' Booth today.... in fact it was a 'very happy' Booth!
The couple were far from the opposite ends of the sofa. Body language suggested there was no tension between them.
The conversation was all about them.....they had forgotten about him entirely...he was back to being the excluded third party....
It would appear these two had resolved their differences.
Twenty minutes later the duo had left his office having divulged as little as possible, excusing themselves without finishing their session...again!!! They said they were going for coffee.... telling him they needed to work on their issues without him.....poppycock! There were no issues there...they just wanted to be alone!
Sweets watched them from his office window as they made their way to their car. The first thing he noticed was just how happy they were. Genuinely happy. They were joined in laughter.....probably at his expense would be his guess! They paused as they reached the car, and Booth leaned in for kiss. Brennan melted against him. The way they looked at each other.....they way they leaned into each other.....he sighed. They were just so mega close!
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Next....Chapter 9....the End....
