Chapter 26

Insecurities

~Booth~

The next morning I awoke still holding my angel in my arms.

I lay there for a while, perfectly content to just hold her until she awoke.

I felt her breathing start to change and then her body start to awaken.

I heard her mumble something and then she kissed my chest in greeting.

I chuckled.

"What was that Bones?"

~Bones~

"I said good morning."

I was still happily sleepy being held in Booth's arms again all night was proving to be addictive.

I was proud of myself for not running away from him.

I raised my head off of its resting place to look into those chocolate brown eyes.

Booth looked at me and grinned and kissed me.

I loved that we were able to do that now.

"Are you hungry?"

Something flashed in Booth's eyes.

Something that told me he wasn't thinking about food, but a different type of hunger.

He grinned again at me and then kissed me passionately pulling away just when I began to pant for air.

'Always, Bones, always.'

Yet again, even though I am not the most observant person, I knew he wasn't just talking about food.

~Booth~

I don't think I will ever get tired of kissing her.

She is amazing.

I knew if we didn't get out of bed right then, we would be there all day.

I didn't want our first time together to be rushed.

I wanted it to be special.

Like she is special.

I moved us both to a sitting position and kissed her again before I took her hand and led her to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge when we got there and started pulling out all of the fixings for omelets.

She looked at me questioningly and I just looked at her and grinned.

"I'm going to make you an omelet."

She opened her mouth to speak and I interjected.

"I know, no meat in yours. There is no meat in your apartment so that won't be a problem."

She just chuckled at me and pushed herself up to sit on the counter next to me.

~Bones~

I couldn't believe he could cook too.

Why does he love me?

Of all people, me, he could have anyone he wanted.

But he wanted me.

I sat and watched him make our breakfast, omelets complete with onions, spinach, mushrooms, garlic, peppers, and tomatoes.

The smell was mouth watering, but I couldn't help but feel like our days may be numbered.

Soon he would realize that I am not worth all of the trouble and leave me like everyone else has.

It was just a matter of time.

I must have been looking down because all of the sudden Booth's hand was on my chin slowly making me look in his eyes.

~Booth~

Uh-oh I know that look.

I hate that look.

That was the second thoughts look.

"Angel, honey, what's going on? Talk to me."

She just looked at me with tears slowly starting to fill her eyes.

I kissed her and pulled her to me, hoping to help with whatever was worrying her.

~Bones~

I took a deep breath and tried to figure out a way to tell him that I was afraid he'd leave me like all of the others.

"I'm just waiting for you to realize that I'm not worth all of the trouble. All of the other people in my life besides you and Angela have left me, and it is a matter of time before you do too. I'm just not sure I can take it if you do. You broke down all of my walls and weaseled your way into my heart and I'm not strong enough to take it if you leave me."

I looked down, not wanting to see the truth in his eyes, that he was leaving me.

~Booth~

I could throttle Max and Russ for this.

Because they and all of the dimwits she has dated have left her, she was convinced that I would too.

"I will never leave you Temperance. I love you and I plan on spending the rest of my life proving it to you. I have been here for five years and I am not about to leave now. I have loved you for five years and that is not going to ever change. I am in it for the long haul angel, and no way am I letting you push me away now. We have come too far for this and there is no turning back. I love you. You love me and that is enough for me, for the rest of my life. With you and Parker by my side, I will be the happiest man in the world. No you are not an easy person and life with you will not be easy. But nothing worth having is ever easy and having a relationship with you, sweetheart, is worth having. I love you and nothing will keep me from being by your side."

My angel was crying in earnest now but they were happy tears............I think.
