**Disclaimer: I do not own anything with BONES or any songs in my stories. I just love Booth and Bones love story. **
**Author's note: This chapter got to be too long, so I have to break it up between Saturday morning and Saturday night. I hope the other vacation days I don't have to break up into individual chapters. I'll see how it goes.
They got in the SUV, and they were on their way. Off to the beautiful house on the water with wonderful scenery and nobody else around.
"So where are we going?"
"You'll see when we get there."
It was a beautiful fall day the leaves had changed into their vibrant yellows, reds, and oranges. There was a hint of chill in the air. The sky was crystal blue with only a couple of hints white fluffy clouds. It was a picture perfect day.
It wasn't too far of a ride (an hour and a half), lucky for Booth there wasn't much traffic. To pass the time he played the CD that he still had in the vehicle from last night. The next song was another Foreigner song,"Waiting for a Girl like You." He smiled at her and then turned his attention back to the road.
"You are a hopeless romantic aren't you?"
"Well, you are the one that says I go by my gut. You make me a better man, and you make me truly happy. I think about you when we aren't together, you're the first thing I think of in the morning and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. So if that makes me a hopeless romantic then I guess I am. I have never felt about anyone else like I feel about you, close but never like this. I have fallen hard for you Temperance. Remember, when I first met you and asked you if you believed in fate."
She nodded yes.
"From that first meeting I knew."
"Come on, Booth, how could you have known in the lecture hall, that you loved me."
"I don't know. I just felt it. Some things you just can't explain. And please don't give me an anthropologically reason for it."
"Alright, I will just go with your reasoning."
"Good, now just listen to the music and enjoy the ride. By the way, all the songs have some kind of special meaning since sometimes I can't put my feelings into words I found some songs that could do it for me." He changed steering from his right hand to his left and put his right hand on her left thigh and she put her left hand on top of his, looking out the passenger side window and listened to the music.
The next song that come on was "Magnet and Steel" by Walter Egan.
…" But the love that I feel is so strong
And it can't be wrong
With you I'm not shy, to show the way I feel
With you I might try, my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel"…
Then the next song was a country song she knew that he didn't care for country so his choices of songs were just to tell her how much he loved her. (This Ain't) No Thinking Thing by Trace Adkins.
"I been thinkin' 'bout our love situation
All this attraction in the present tense
I've reached the only logical conclusion
Love ain't suppose to make sense.
This ain't no thinkin' thing right brain, left brain
It goes a little deeper than that
It's a chemical, physical, emotional devotion
Passion that we can't hold back
There ain't no rhyme or reason why
'Cause this ain't, this ain't no thinkin' thing
Forget mathematical equations"…
After the song finished she paused the CD. She turned to look at Booth, "Booth, I like that song the lyrics are totally correct. It isn't logical for "us" to be together but we are it doesn't make sense."
"Bones, all these songs I chose were for a reason, they were all about the lyrics and not if I liked the genre. It's about us and what we feel for one another. Just like when you played, "Say you will" or when "Ain't Nothing 'Bout you" came on. I thought even if we couldn't say what we wanted to in words a song could do the talking for us. So that is why I took the time to make this CD for our trip."
"Thank you Booth that is very sweet."
"I know I am a very sweet guy," he giggled.
She unpaused the CD interlocked her fingers with his and looked back out the window and just absorbed it all in.
The next song was "Ain't Nobody" by Rufus and Chaka Chan. Followed by Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle "You and I" and after that song he turned off the CD.
"Hey why did you do that," she questioned.
"That's all the songs for the road trip the rest are for later. We can talk the rest of the trip."
"Ok"
"So where did you tell Angela you were going?"
"I didn't tell her anything. She doesn't even know I am off, I just didn't want to be bothered answering questions. She will figure it out on Monday when I'm not there. And all I told Cam is since it was kind of slow and lately all I have been is in LIMBO that this would be as good as time as any to use some of my vacation days that she keeps telling me to use. I guess Monday I can be expecting a call from Angela then. What about you, did you remember to cancel with Sweets for Tuesday?"
"Oh shit," as he pounded the steering wheel. "I was so busy I totally forgot about the twelve year old. Damn Well I guess we know who will be calling me Tuesday then when I don't show up." he chuckled.
"Don't feel bad, I totally forgot until Friday night while I was in LIMBO. I emailed him."
"We don't have to answer our phones." he said.
"You know that will just make it worse."
"Yup, you're right Bones. Oh well. We're almost there," as he turned down a long dirt road.
They got to the end of the road there it was this gorgeous two story farm looking house with a porch around it, no other houses around. It looked a little out of place with the ocean so close by. It had its own private beach. She was impressed like something from a movie. She was in awe.
"Booth, this place is beautiful," as he parked the SUV. She just sat and gazed at the view.
"Come on let's go inside if you think the outside is beautiful the inside will knock your socks off," he gave her that look meaning he only meant metaphorically.
He got his bag and hers and they went inside. Like he said the inside was just as gorgeous. It had a "real" fireplace, a kitchen nook, a maple stair case, just a very warm and cozy atmosphere.
"Oh Booth, this place is wonderful."
"Glad you like it, Bones I hoped you would. Well let me show you the upstairs." She followed him upstairs. He took them to the master bedroom. It was huge. It had a king sized bed, a couch against one wall, big screen TV, a chair in a corner by the window, and a couple of dressers. Her eyes were wide with amazement.
"Well, Bones if you are impressed with the master bedroom, let me show you the master bath." He put their bags down on the couch in the bedroom and took her hand to follow him to the bathroom.
All the places she has ever been none of them could top this place. The bathroom was huge as well. A big two sink vanity that stretched the whole length of the wall, a huge bathtub with Jacuzzi jets. All she could do is say "Wow!"
"Booth, I don't know what to say. You did this for me, this had to cost a lot."
"Don't worry about it, Bones, I called in a favor and I did it for us."
She smiled at him, pulled him in close and kissed him long and passionately.
"Thank you Booth, this is wonderful."
"You're welcome, but this isn't even the half of it yet. Let's go back downstairs. And just relax. "
They went back downstairs. "Let me make us some lunch, Bones."
"Ok, I'm going to go out on the porch."
"Alright."
She went out on the porch, the sea breeze blowing through her hair. It was only Saturday and she didn't want to go back to D.C. any time soon. This was terrific, this incredible place with the man that she loved. She was truly ready to succumb to her emotions and give in to him fully. Yes, she was still afraid but right now the feeling of euphoria was greater than the feeling of fear.
"Lunch is ready."
