Chapter 5

Booth woke up without opening his eyes. The storm had stopped. Sun shined through the window and streamed down on his face. He noticed that his chest felt a little tight . He opened his eyes a little. He noticed that Brennan was sleeping on his chest. His arm was wrapped around her protectively.

He admired her for a while. He watched as her head moved up and down on his chest. Booth realized that he liked to watch her sleep. Her lips were curved into a smile. She even snuggled into him every once and awhile. Noises escaped her lips and Booth thought it was adorable. He just laid there and watched.

His back started to get stiff. He leaned up a little trying not to wake her. He was unsuccessful in doing that. Brennan flinched a little and opened her eyes. Booth sighed and laid back down. Brennan looked up at him with a confused look on her face. Booth smiled a little and reassured her of what was going on.

"I guess we got so tired that we fell asleep on the couch," he said.

Brennan nodded and set up. Booth sat up also. Things were quiet for a little bit. Booth broke the silence.

"I'm gonna go fix breakfast. You can go take a shower if you want."

"Okay," she replied.

About 15 minutes later Brennan emerged from the shower. She was wearing a red shirt and shorts. She found Booth in the kitchen dancing around making their food. He was whistling to himself as he spent around in circles. Brennan smiled and sat down at the counter behind him. Booth did one last twist and stopped in front of her. His whistling stopped and his cheeks turned red. Brennan smiled at him.

"Hi Bones," he said. He turned back to what he was doing.

"Hi Booth," Brennan said with the smile still on her face.

Booth brought the two plates of food over and sat them down on the counter. He walked around the counter and sat down on the stool next to her. They ate in silence. When he was done, Booth opened his mouth first.

"Hurry up and eat Bones, we've got a couple of things to do today." Brennan rolled her eyes. Booth took his plate to the sink. Then he went in the back to take a shower.

While Booth was in the shower, Brennan thought to herself. She wondered why Booth wasn't married yet. She couldn't deny it he was sexy. He also was a perfect gentlemen. She also wondered why Booth would invite her up here with him. He probably had other friends that could have went with him, but he insisted that she go with him. She thought that Booth brought her up here because he felt sorry for her. But he wanted her to come before that too. She even considered that Booth liked her. Why else would he be doing all of this stuff for her? She actually liked the idea of Booth liking her. She hasn't mentioned it to anyone, but she is attracted to Booth also. She was kind of hoping that more would happen on this trip than just sight seeing.

Brennan was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't hear Booth walk up behind her. He called her name a few times but she didn't answer him. He placed his hand on her shoulder. She jumped a little and turned around.

"You okay," he said concerned. He stepped a little closer.

Brennan smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay."

Booth nodded. Brennan slid off of the stool and followed him over to the door. It was really warm outside. Booth walked over to the SUV and opened the door for Brennan. He climbed in on his side and started down the path.
