Brennan walked into her office after a long Friday at work. She took off her lab coat and placed it onto the rack and then headed over to her desk to grab some files to bring home with her. On top of the files, was a single yellow daffodil and a note:
I'll be by your place at 9A.M. tomorrow to pick you up. Wear sneakers.
-Booth
Brennan sighed and let a slight smile grace her lips. She knew when she agreed to go out on a date with Booth that she agreed to go out on a date with his alpha-male tendencies. She grabbed the files, put them in her bag and walked out of the Jeffersonian with the single daffodil in her hand.
The next morning, Brennan heard a knock on her door. She walked over and opened it up to find Booth holding out a cup of coffee.
"Good morning," he said, smiling.
"Good morning," Brennan replied, taking the cup of coffee from Booth's hand.
"Ready to go?"
"It depends, where are we going?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out," Booth said raising his eyebrows at Brennan.
Brennan looked at him with a curious look on her face then followed Booth out the door.
Booth drove for three hours before they finally reached their destination.
"Welcome to Busch Gardens, Bones," he said as he killed the engine and got out of the truck as Brennan also exited the car, "I know how much you enjoyed the Vomit Comet, so I figured you must like amusement parks."
"I don't know I've never been to one."
"Well you're at one now so let's go have some fun," Booth said as he started leading Brennan to the park entrance.
Once inside the park, Booth led Brennan to a rollercoaster.
"This is the Griffon. It launches you up 250 feet in the air and then drops you straight down at a 90 degree angle going 70 miles per hour, you in?" asked Booth.
"Of course I'm in," replied Brennan.
"Sure you're not too scared?" asked Booth.
Brennan rolled her eyes at Booth and then playfully smacked him on the shoulder and then started walking to the entrance of the ride, "You sure you're not the one who's scared, you're the one who is stalling. Are you coming Agent Booth?" Brennan asked smiling at Booth.
"Oh I'm coming, Dr. Brennan," Booth replied following Brennan.
After they got off the ride, Brennan looked at Booth.
"That was so much fun. The amount of adrenaline running through my body right now is unbelievable."
"That was great," Booth replied.
"Let's do it again."
"Again?!" Booth asked Brennan surprised.
"There's barely a line, let's go," she said as she started walking to the beginning of the line.
Booth followed her and as they were about to re-enter the line, he pulled her from the waist and went ahead of her, "Me first," he said running up to the last people ahead of them on line. He pushed himself up and sat on the rail and as Brennan reached him she did the same. They sat there swaying their feet back and forth and looking at each other, smiling like children.
Brennan and Booth spent the rest of the day riding ride after ride. The last ride they went on was Escape from Pompeii; a water flume ride. They walked from the ride in their soaking wet clothes.
"Before the drop, that ride was actually pretty historically accurate of what Pompeii looked like back then," Brennan said slightly shivering.
Booth took his backpack off of his back and took out a towel. He wrapped it around Brennan's shoulders and they walked out of the amusement park with Booth's arm wrapped around Brennan's waist.
After the long drive home, Booth walked Brennan up to her apartment. Normally she would invite him in, but normally he was just her partner. Tonight, he was her date, and he knew that, he knew that she wouldn't and he was okay with it. He smiled at her as she took out her keys and opened her door. She smiled back, and Booth saw the nervousness in her eyes. He knew she wasn't quite ready so he leaned in and gave her a soft, long kiss on her cheek as he placed his hand on her shoulder. She smiled in return.
"I don't know if I've ever had this much fun before, Booth, thank you," Brennan stated.
"And just think, Temperance, this was just our first date. Wait until you see what I have in store for the second," Booth said as he raised his eyebrows at Brennan. Then he squeezed her hand and held it as long as he could while walking away, "See you tomorrow, Bones."
I'm sorry this chapter is so short. Maybe if you bear with me for it and review anyway, there will be some kissing in the next chapter. Real kissing. You tell me. Thanks for reading. :)
