Chapter 6

It took about an hour for them to drive back into civilization. They drove down the rode making small conversation. Brennan kept asking what they were doing today. She was eager to get started. Booth just smiled and kept his eyes on the rode. Finally, they pulled into a mall parking lot. It took them a while to find a parking space. When Booth finally got one he turned off the car and stepped out. Brennan stepped out and walked around the car. Booth had already started walking towards the building. Brennan ran to keep up with him.

"Booth, what are we doing at a mall," asked Brennan?

"It's part of our day together.""You can do all the shopping that you want.""The best thing about it, it's on me."

Brennan stopped and stared at him. Booth seemed to have read her mind.

"It's okay Bones." "It was my idea." "I thought that you should have one day that you can get everything that you want."

Brennan smiled at him. Booth put his arm around her shoulders and led her inside the mall. It was huge. There were four floors and stores covered every inch of the building. It was filled with people running around from stored to store. Brennan led Booth through about every store that she saw, buying things from every one that she walked into. Booth followed Brennan through the mall holding what he felt like a thousand bags. He didn't mind though. He liked seeing Brennan happy.

The eleventh store they went into was a Rainbow. Booth sat down in a chair and waited for her to pick out the clothes she wanted to try on. She finally walked into a fitting room and closed the curtain behind her. A minute later she came out. She was wearing a light blue beach dress that came down to her knees. Underneath, she wore denim jeans.

"Looking good Bones," Booth complimented.

Brennan smiled and looked at herself in the mirror. Just then, Booth had a crazy idea. He stood up and walked over to the rack that had the same dress that Brennan had on. He got what he thought was his size and took it. He walked into the fitting room and closed the curtain behind him. Brennan didn't know what he was up to so she sat down and waited for him to come out.

Booth slipped the dress over the clothes that he was wearing. It barely went over his thigh and it was really tight. When he came out of the dressing room, the look on Brennan's face made him smile wickedly. Her mouth had dropped open. Booth did a spin for her and walked over to her. Brennan's expression quickly changed. She was laughing uncontrollably. Booth smiled and sat down next to her.

"Booth, take that off," Brennan said still laughing. Booth shook his head.

"Bones, I think it looks pretty good on me." "What do you think?"

Brennan laughed for a little while longer. When she was finally done, she opened her mouth.

"Booth, take it off." "Your stretching it."

Booth smiled at her. He decided to mess with her some more. He stood up and walked in front of the mirror. He fixed the dress up a little and turned back around to face her.

"Bones, do you think this makes me look fat."

Brennan smiled and walked over to him. She put her hand on the strap and tried to pull it down. Booth pushed her hand off and pulled the strap back up. He backed up into the fitting room and Brennan followed him. She was so caught up in taking the dress off of him that she didn't notice that he had closed the curtain. Every time Brennan pulled down a strap, Booth would pull it back up, making Brennan work harder to take it off. They giggled like little kids as they played around. Brennan accidently tripped over his foot and fell on top of him. They were still giggling like little kids.

"You win Bones, I'll take it off." Brennan smiled at him. She stared into his eyes for a moment, thinking could a relationship really work out between them. Booth stared into her eyes too. Not because he doubts that there could be a relationship between them, but to obtain the beauty in front of him. Electricity surged through there bodies as they moved closer to each other. Their lips were just millimeters a part when the curtain flew open. The manager was standing in the doorway.

"Could you hurry up." "There are people waiting to come in here." They both nodded at the same time. Brennan stood up and walked out of the fitting room to find everyone staring at her. Her cheeks turned red and she sat down on the couch. Booth came out seconds later and hung the dress up on the rack. Brennan walked in and took off the dress that she had on. She bought it and they made their way into the lobby.

"Bones there is one more thing that you need to buy before we leave." He walked into the store across from where they were standing. It was filled with bikinis. Brennan looked at Booth with a questioning face.

"It's for the rest of our evening," he said.

Brennan walked over to a rack and picked on out that she liked. She was glad that there was a mirror in the fitting room. The bikini was a perfect fit. She bought it and they made their way out of the mall. Booth packed everything into the back of the SUV and climbed into the driver's seat. He looked at his watch. It read 2:35. He started the engine and made his way to his next destination.
