Hey guys, I'm back again but this time I've only got a quick chapter. I would tell you the magic word but you're just gonna have to read and find out. Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas. It was hard to choose because there were quite a few that I wanted to use but I decided to kepp it simple. Thanks again for the help and off course for all the reviews of chapter 8.
Chapter 10 SWAP TOP
They packed away the tent when Booth noticed how unsuitable the colours of Brennan's clothing were.
"Bones, you're gonna roast in those colours. Why don't you put something lighter on? You know, to reflect sunlight and...Stuff."
Very smooth, doofus. Sunlight and...Stuff? Please, could you say something more dorky or squint-like?
"Booth, I do know how absorption of heat works. I am a scientist, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember, cause you mention it at every opportunity you have."
"Well, I apologise for being proud of what I do." She snapped at him sarcastically.
Crap, I annoyed her. Tail between legs time, apologise before she gets in a bad mood for the rest of the day.
"Sorry Bones. The heat's just getting to me." He gave in.
And that's not just the sun's heat I'm talking about.
"It's fine." She sighed. "It's getting to me too. I think I'll just change into something else that's lighter, to keep the sunlight and...Stuff off me." She mimicked him.
Booth laughed at her and pulled his tank top off then handed it to her. She looked at him surprised.
"What? Everything else is packed away; you might as well save time and put this on." He smirked.
His smirk changed in to shock when Brennan done the exact thing that he had just done. She stood in front of him and pulled her own top over her head. He stood looking dumbfounded. She stood wearing nothing but her hot pants and bra, Booth took a deep breathe in the hope of calming himself. She returned his previous smirk and threw her top at him; he caught it and clapped his mouth shut. His smirk returned and they stood drinking in each others appearances for longer than 'just partners' should. Brennan looked down then put Booth's tank top on while admiring his body.
He certainly isn't getting this back, especially when it covers a body like that.
Brennan tied a knot at the bottom of the tank top below her chest, the way Angela had shown her once.
At least it's even, she gets to see my six pack, I get to see her midriff.
With their new fashions, the pair walked towards Bullseye. Brennan began to pat the horse's nose and turned to Booth.
"I guess we should start heading back now, huh?" She tried to keep the disappointment out of her voice but Booth noticed.
"Yeah, I guess. We can take it slow, I don't really feel like rushing back home."
"Me either, and besides, if we go too quickly in this heat we're likely to faint."
Wow, Bones isn't in a rush to get back to work. I must be doing something right.
"Talking of heat, we should get protection."
"What?!" Brennan was obviously shocked at what Booth had said.
"What?" He asked, genuinely confused until he suddenly realised.
"Oh! You thought I meant that kind of...protection because I was and talking about heat and...Okay...Anyway. Bones you can be suprisingly dirty minded sometimes." Booth's tone had taken on mock patronisation.
"I...uh...Shut up Booth. Like you're not dirty minded sometimes? All I have to say is 'hi' and I can tell that you're thinking of sex."
Oh my god, how did she know?! DENY EVERYTHING!
"That's not true!"
The truth is, all you have to do is walk in a room and I think of sex, you don't even have to talk.
She took a step closer to him and leaned forward.
"You're thinking about it now aren't you?" She whispered seductively.
Holy shit. I never knew Bones could be like this. This is it.
Booth swallowed. Their partnership was changing before his eyes, and ears, and he liked it.
"Maybe." He replied in a deep voice.
"About me?" She smiled up at him
"Now how would you know that?" He showed her a trademarked, lopsided grin.
"Well, if you think about it practically, I'm the only one around except Bullseye and I deducted that I would be the answer because you've never shown that sort of feelings towards a horse before." Her voice had taken on the tone she used for explaining things.
Stupid! That was not a sexy thing to say! Why do I have to be so analytical?
Booth burst out laughing.
"Priceless...Bones...Priceless! Only...you...could...come out...with that." He managed between snorts and fits of laughter.
The laughing became contagious and Brennan couldn't help herself so she joined in.
"The scientist surfaces again!" He cried raising his arms for effect.
Bones laughed even harder and punched him in the arm good naturedly. They tried to end their laughing fit but every time they stopped laughing they would look at one another and begin all over again. Finally they found themselves lying on the ground clutching their stomachs because they had been laughing so hard. Booth rolled to the side reached up and took a bottle of sun tan lotion out of one of the bags. He threw it up in his hand so it spun in the air and expertly caught it.
"Lotion time Bones." He grinned wickedly.
Mwoahahaha! I'm gonna leave you there! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me! lol. If I don't update it tonight (which I doubt I'll be able to do) then I'm sorry because I won't be able to update until the week after this one. I'm sorry but I have a foreign exchange student staying at my house next week so I won't have the chance to update but look on the bright side, when I do eventually update it should in theory be a good chapter because I'lll have had more time to plan it. Please don't hate me too much! lol. He leaves next Sunday so I have to get up at 4AM to take him to the coach! I have a bad enough problem getting up at 8AM!
More colours have been added so here comes the list, hit the blue/purple/grey/periwinkle (I think thats the closest colour we've had so far! lol) button.
X x X x X More in a while!
