"Can't I just wait in the car?" Booth turned the engine off and slammed his forehead against the steering wheel.
"No" Brennan opened the door "You agreed to help"
Booth signed and followed right behind her.
As Brennan started to move into one of the stores Booth's knees weakened. "Not that store"
Brennan stopped and turned "Why not?"
"C'mon" He flapped one hand towards the store "It's full of women, I'm not a women. Maybe I can stay right here, maybe go for a corn dog" He nodded and smiled "Yeah, a corn dog would be good"
Brennan rolled her eyes "C'mon Booth"
As they entered the smell of the different types of fabrics intoxicated them. Brennan stopped in the middle of the store; she looked out of place, vulnerable, not in her domain. She crossed her arms and looked around.
"Bones, one question" He rose his index finger "Why did you bring me here?"
"I want a dress" She bit down her lower lip, as if pondering how much information to give out "And remember when we went to Vegas, you choose my clothes, and well…." She bit harder on the lip "You did a good job"
I really did, Booth thought to himself remembering the way Brennan looked in that black little dress he picked out "Oh my God!" Booth's lips turned into a smile "Dr. Brennan is actually telling me that I did a good job?" Sarcasm spilled from his words.
"Yeah" Brennan smiled back "You did a good job….at shopping"
"Way to kill my mood Bones" Booth rolled his eyes as he started to walk through the store.
Few minutes had passed when Brennan heard Booth's voice.
"How about this one?" Booth was carrying a purple dress that stopped just under the knee.
"That is beautiful!" A lady with black hair pressed her hand to her mouth. "You have such a good taste" She said to Booth. Seeing Brennan approaching she turned to her "You are so lucky for having a gay best friend with a great taste"
"Thanks" Brennan shrugged.
"What?" The shocked Booth almost chocked in his breath.
"You are very welcomed" The lady smiled once more and left.
"Bones!"
"Hmm" Brennan didn't pay attention to him; she was too busy admiring the dress.
"Bones I'm talking to you"
"I'm listening" Brennan continued to look at the dress as if she was examining a set of bones.
"Why didn't you tell her that I'm not..."
"Gay" Brennan finished.
"Yeah, that"
Brennan straightened and directed her attention to him "What's wrong with that?"
Booth faked a laugh "That I like women"
"You are never going to see that woman again Booth, so just chill"
"You really shouldn't try the normal people talk"
Brennan sighed "I realized that the moment I said it"
Booth was muttering under his breath, when I thought struck his mind. Revenge. Brennan didn't take the time to tell the lady that he liked women, well, now he was going to have a little fun.
"Yes, this one is good" Brennan's words brought him back.
"What?"
"I'll take this one"
Time to put the plan into action. "This one? No, this one is horrible"
"But the woman said tha.."
Booth stopped her in mid sentence "This is an ugly dress, trust me Bones"
Having her doubts Brennan spoke "Okay"
Booth continued around the store while Brennan sat awkwardly in one of the dressing rooms.
"Here" Booth was carrying a bunch of dresses "Try these on"
"Booth those are a lot of dresses"
"You wanted me to help, didn't you?" Booth placed the dresses inside the dressing room and stepped outside.
"I guess" Brennan was beginning to regret her decision.
"So, try them on and step outside so I can see how they look"
Brennan closed the door right in his face.
Booth was anxious to see Brennan in the dresses he picked out, but the other part of him felt ashamed, a good partner wouldn't put his friend in that position. "Bones don't tr…." Booth's lips suddenly went dry as Brennan stepped out.
"You were saying?" Brennan asked as she pulled the dress lower on her legs.
"Nothing" The shame went away in a millisecond.
"Booth, I think this one is too short"
Booth nodded in awe while he trailed her body in that reddish mini dress, her legs looked miles long.
"And the cleavage is not safe"
"Try the next one" Booth almost jumped from his chair in excitement.
Brennan looked at him strangely and changed into the next one, and the next one and the next one. In all of them Brennan looked extremely attractive. "I think I'll stay with this one" Brennan was referring to a bluish dress. "But I still think it's not what I would usually wear"
"That's why I'm here" Booth stood up "To help"
Brennan looked in the mirror "I'm sure Jake will appreciate me wearing this"
"Jake?" Booth swallowed hard "Who is jake?"
"My companion for dinner tonight"
"Your date?"
Brennan rolled her eyes "I guess you can call it a date, but more accurately he will be my companion for dinner"
"Shit!"
"What?" Brennan looked at him alarmed.
"Nothing" Booth suddenly realized he had spoken out loud "I just really want a corn dog" He try to cover it up. He had chosen the sexiest dresses for Brennan to try on, and now she was going to go out wearing one of those! With another guy!
"You know what Bones, I don't like that one"
"But you picked it out"
"But I was wrong" Booth looked around in the store, suddenly his eyes caught I glimpse of the most awful dress ever. He quickly ran towards it and picked it up "This one Bones"
"But Bo.."
"This one is a winner"
"It's not ve…"
"Trust me"
Brennan picked up the long dress; she looked at it then at Booth "Okay"
"Good" I wave of relief traveled through Booth's body. At least now he didn't have to worry about some other guy looking at her in one of the other dresses.
Booth was watching a game on the TV when his door knocked. "Coming" He yelled as he placed his beer on the coffee table.
"Bones?" He was a little bit shocked to see her in his house.
"Can I come in?"
"Sure" Booth had to retain a laugh as he saw her pace the room in the dress she was wearing. It was the one he picked out; a long green dress, with a high turtle neck, and with giant ruffles in her arms. "Aren't you supposed to be on your date?"
Brennan stood by the couch "It already finished. Jake was really weird, kept talking to me as if I was a nun"
Booth chuckled.
"What?"
"Nothing Bones" Booth sat on the couch, he tapped his hand to the empty space next to him "Want to sit? Mother Temperance"
"Shut up" Brennan laughed and sat next to him.
"Popcorn?" Booth handed her the bowl.
"Thanks"
Booth smiled as he placed his arms under his neck "No, thank you"
