**Disclaimer: I do not own anything with BONES or any songs in my stories. I just love Booth and Bones love story. **
Writer's Note: Here is part II. Hope everyone enjoyed the first installment of Just because it's Monday. Thanks again for everyone that has stuck with me.
When Booth returned to the platform everyone was there. He swiped his card and made his way toward his coffee. Bones handed him the coffee and he noticed that her right hand was still in her pocket. He knew she hadn't unveiled it yet. Angela still had a hold of the pastry box not giving it up for anything but shortly that would soon change. Bones knew what would take Angela's attention away from eating all the pastries.
"Ange, next time we will get you your own box but this is for everyone." Bones attempted to take the box away from Angela. Angela was about to grabbed the box back from Bones when she noticed the ring on Bones' finger.
The squeal that came from Angela filled the lab. It was worse than the time that Daisy was excited about the Maluku Islands Project.
"Dr. B. That's alright. We can do without the donuts. Angela can have them."
"Speak for yourself Dr. Hodgins." Clark interjected.
"That wasn't the reason why Angela was squealing Dr. Hodgins." Bones held up her hand and wiggled her hand. Cam came over to where the two women were standing.
"That is gorgeous. Dr. Brennan." Cam said while grabbing a donut while she still had a chance to. "Are congratulations in order?"
"I thought you two weren't doing the whole Valentine gift thing." Angela said now munching on a muffin.
"We didn't. Booth gave me this for Christmas. I was just trying to avoid the question that everyone would ask seeing the ring. No, Dr. Saroyan those kinds of congratulations are not in order. It's a promise ring."
Hodgins and Clark were standing by Booth while the women were admiring Bones' ring. "Damn Dude. It was bad enough I was in the dog house with Angela when you sent Dr. B. flowers for six days and now you bought her a ring for Valentine's Day. I am so dead."
"Sorry about that bug and slime guy."
"This looks like as good as time as any to try to get a donut." Clark left Booth and Hodgins talking. Clark as always was not one to share personal stuff in the workplace.
Booth continued his talk with Hodgins. "Actually Hodgins," Booth took his hand out of his suit pocket, "It is the rings that I had made for us for Christmas. See, I wanted to show you and thank you earlier but Bones didn't want anyone to know about it. You know how she gets. I just wanted to thank you again, the jeweler was great."
"Dude you're welcome."
"Come on Hodgins let's try to get something to eat before your wife decides that the donuts are more interesting than that ring." Booth laughed and slapped Hodgins on the shoulder.
The two men went over to the others and Booth interlocked his left hand with Bones' right. Angela noticed his ring and another high pitched squeal came out of her.
"You guys are so adorable." Angela shot a glare to her husband. Booth gave Hodgins an apologetic look. Clark rolled his eyes and took his coffee and donut back to his workstation.
"Alright people, even though we don't have a case. We still have work to do and in the spirit of Valentine's Day as long as we don't get a case, I'm going to let everyone leave early today. Now remember there are cameras all around the Jeffersonian and just because it is Valentine's Day does not mean they are turned off." Cam laughed and looked at Hodgins and Angela. She did not want to find another sex tape in her office from the security department starring any more of her employees.
With that everyone went their separate ways. Bones and Booth headed down to Limbo.
"Bones I love my gift," he said at the entrance of Limbo and kissed her forehead. "Thank you"
"Booth, you do and have done so much for me it's the least I could do for you."
While still looking at her, "That's where you're wrong. We are partners and you have done just as much for me. The little things you do for me I appreciate just as much as this grand gesture today. I love you so much"
They gazed at each other, the one that they could lose all track of time and their surroundings. Bones broke from their gaze first. "I really do have to get some work done."
He let go of her hand, they entered Limbo and he took his usual seat in the corner where he would sit and watch her work.
A couple of hours past in silence, he just let her get some work done before he decided to speak. "Hey Bones. I was thinking that, that ring is going to be the topic of water cooler gossip and Sweets is going to hear some kind of story, so why don't we play a joke on him."
Without looking up from the bones she was examining, "That sounds like fun especially since I am still kind of angry with him and my acting skills have gotten better."
"Alright the next time we see him we will do it."
Bones just nodded as she removed her gloves, "I have learned all I can from these remains. I have to go to my office and do some research."
Booth stretched as he stood up from his uncomfortable chair. "Now I can sit on your comfortable couch." He laughed and intertwined his fingers with hers. Bones had her notes in hand and they headed upstairs to her office.
After a couple more hours of work, everyone left the Jeffersonian for the day to tend to their Valentine's Day plans.
Instead of going directly to the Thai place to pick up their dinner, Booth had something else planned.
"Booth, where are we going? The Thai place is in the opposite direction."
"You'll see"
Booth arrived at his destination.
"Booth?" She looked at him inquisitively. He didn't say a word. He just got out of the SUV, opened her door and took her hand.
The ice rink was empty except for them. "Why are we here?"
"Well Bones. You're not the only one that can give the one that they love a surprise on a Monday. We are here because I remembered you said you enjoyed it the last time we ice skated and I wanted to skate with you again. Today is as good of a day as any. What is wrong with skating with the woman that you love on a Monday and it has nothing to do with that today is Valentine's Day." He flashed her that Boothy smile of his. "Go get your skates and meet me back here."
Before she left she was a little skeptical that they were just there because it was Monday. She gave him a small peck on his cheek and left to do as she was told.
When she returned the black lights were on and in the center of the ice there was a heart shape embedded in the ice. Bones stepped onto the ice and Booth skated to her.
"Just because it's Monday, Huh?"
"Ok fine Bones. I just wanted to do something special for Valentine's Day. Is that so wrong?" He gave the signal which was the queue for the music to start playing. "A Kiss From A Rose." By Seal the song that they slow danced to at her class reunion.
"I love my gift too Booth," as they skated arm and arm around the rink to the song.
It was the best Valentine's/non-Valentine's Day both of them had ever had.
