oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Chest out with pride.

Big smile on the face.

Who's a chuffed little Bones fan?

This little baby is now my most reviewed story....woo hoo!

Thank you one....thank you all.....

......Oh that's right....it's not all about me lol...on with the tale....


oOoOoOoOoOoOo

It was morning and once more as he surfaced from sleep he smiled as he realised she was snuggled firmly in his grasp. He liked waking up to the day like this. He lay there wondering just how to approach the morning, wondering what mood she would be in when she awoke. He hoped there would be no regrets....

He felt her stir.

As she surfaced from sleep he felt her stiffen as she realised where she was.....

He waited.....

She seemed to think about it briefly, sigh, relax and snuggle back into his arms.

He smiled.....

He kissed her neck.

'Mmmmmmm,' she mumbled.

She lengthened her neck to allow him better access.

'Good morning.' He mumbled against a particularly sensitive spot on her neck.

"Booth, I believe this will indeed be a very good morning!" she turned and met his lips.

Breakfast was going to be a little late this morning.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

While Booth set out on his morning run Brennan set up her computer. She wanted to contact the Jeffersonian for the latest information. As she was plugging in the power cable, she paused as she noticed the two photos lying side by side on the table; the photo of her mother and father and the photo of Booth and herself. She picked up both photos and gazed down at them intently. After several minutes she shook her head and put both photos down......

Compartmentalise Temperance! She thought....This is only temporary..... Fanciful thoughts were not helpful at this time....but she couldn't help one last glance at the photos as her computer booted up.

An hour later she was still on the video link to Hodgins as Booth arrived back from his exercise.

"I'm nearly finished here," she commented as he entered the room.

"I'll just have a shower while you finish up Babe," he smiled and as he passed her he dropped a quick kiss on her lips on his way to the bedroom.

Her eyes followed him and she was still smiling when there was a discreet cough from the computer screen.

"You still with me Dr B?" Hodgins asked with a huge grin.

"Um...Ahhh... Yes. I'll contact you tomorrow for an update on the clothing particulates. Thanks Hodgins." And with that she disconnected the link.

She debated her actions for all of a minute.

She headed towards the shower.....shedding her clothes as she went.....

She opened the bathroom door, and stuck her head in through the doorway.

"Booth...."

"Yeah...."

"Got room for one more in there?" and she stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.....

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

They were settled in a coffee shop having just ordered lunch.

"So what did the Squints have for us?" Booth asked.

"Do you want all the details?" she asked him.

"Nope just the basic 101 version." He replied.

"Hodgins is having difficulties analysing the shoe and clothing particulates. There were a large number of varied particles indicating high traffic areas. He is attempting to work 'backwards' now in an effort to identify locations the couple may have visited."

Booth nodded that he was following her.

"Stomach contents indicate they had a barbequed seafood dinner that night, and according to the toxicology report the woman appears to have had two cocktails and a glass of white wine to drink, while the male consumed five beers."

"So, we could assume that they dined first and then went on to another location after dinner....."

"Cam has forwarded the food analysis to the FBI and they are currently checking out restaurants that may serve such a meal."

"So everyone is doing their jobs.... Sooner or later something is going to turn up."

"And what are we going to do?" She asked.

"We are heading to Pearl Harbour this afternoon for more sightseeing and to question the staff at the USS Arizona Memorial. All three couples visited the tourist spot."

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

It was early evening and Brennan was having a shower.

Booth was flicking through the case file. He was frustrated as there was still nothing conclusive for the case after questioning the Memorial staff this afternoon. Sure people recognised the photos, but they were getting nothing concrete to go on.

No suspicious circumstances.

No dirty deeds.

No questionable behaviour.

They needed a break in the case.

It was time for a meeting with the rest of the squad here on the island. He would set up a meeting first thing in the morning.

He realised he was getting hungry as he heard Bones finish dressing in the bedroom. They were just going to a simple bar tonight, for some food, a drink and perhaps some good music.

"I'm ready Booth," she said as she stepped into the room.

Booth looked up.....and promptly forgot his hunger!

Red dress alert!

Red lipstick alert!!

And to top it off....sexy perfume alert!!!

He stood up......"There's something I've neglected to tell you Bones...." His voice was very husky as he became more turned on with every step towards her.....

He leaned in and kissed her.

"In your lingo Bones....You are a sensory overload in red!"

"I don't understand what that means?"

"It means...when you wear red....it turns me on....big time!"

And his lips came down on hers again.....hard....

They never made it to the bar that night.

Room Service was ordered several hours later......
