Sorry it's a bit short and this is the same chapter as before but upon seeing what KatBlue said and rereading I realized that the end part of this chapter got cut off
I can't answer his question until I know for sure that this is how he feels.
"Do you love me?" I ask. I need to know whether or not he loves me before I answer. He looks into my eyes silently telling me his answer before speaking it.
"I love you Tempe," He says in answer. As the words leave his lips I know that they're true, because I feel it, I feel his words and their truth. Now I must find my answer. Do I love him? The question haunts my thoughts in the moments passing and I realize that I do in fact love him. I look into his eyes and give him the answer he is in search of, but not in the form of words. I grab his right and uninjured hand into that of my own. Our fingers link and our eyes find meeting as well. Our lips are slowly brought together in the sweetest of kisses. Our tongues soon tangle and then we're panting for breath.
"I'll marry you," I whisper softly. He smiles at me. "But only because I'm in love you," I add. I can't help the smile that has made its presence known on my lips. His smile is matching mine.
We know that despite what has recently happened that we still have to go to work. We slowly but surely drag ourselves from the bed and begin our usual morning routine only at a later time than usual. We try our hardest to act normal throughout the day, but it proves a failure as soon as Angela sees the ring that Booth placed upon my finger this morning.
"You guys are getting married," Angela screamed in excitement as she looked at the two of us.
Booth and I stared at each other silently for the next moments.
"Yes we are getting married," I answer.
"Oh my god!" Angela screams in excitement.
Booth and I both share a smile before we run away leaving Angela alone. We're both standing in my office now.
"I guess we have to get back to work," I say as I walk over to my desk and turn on my computer. He nods saying he'll call me if there are any new developments in the case.
As I finally begin with my work Angela walks into my office and seats herself on my couch. I don't give her the courtesy of looking up when I choose my words to speak.
"What is it Angela?" I ask. I know that she wants to know all of the details of what happened with this engagement, but I won't give her the pleasure of knowing. It is something that I'd rather keep between Booth and myself for the time being. It sounds cruel that I don't wish to tell my best friend that I've fallen in love, but I know that she will prod into our business.
"What am I gonna have to do to get the details of this engagement out of you?" She replies with her own question and I give no answer in response.
She struggles but to no avail. She won't be getting details so easily at this time. I gave in after what happened with Booth and me three weeks ago but now I ignore her. She walks away after a half hour of trying to retrieve the details and I smile in triumph.
Even though Angela has left my office thoughts of Booth still tempt me. I cannot believe that I'm in love with him. I've never been in love before. I've never let myself fall for anyone. Not since the disappearance of my parents. I've never felt attached to someone before. All these feelings are so new to me but I somehow know that it's love.
Today becomes another day in which no work gets accomplished. My mind is wandering far from here again. My thoughts are of Booth and not of my work as they should be. I know that I must focus but the task seems too difficult. I spend the entire day in deep thought and before I realize how much time has passed Booth is standing in the doorway of my office. He's attempting not to laugh at me because I'm asleep on my keyboard.
"Sleep well," He asks as I slowly open my eyes.
I blush in embarrassment. I had never intended to waste the entire day sleeping, especially considering the fact that I was late to begin with. I smile at him though before answering his question.
"Well the keyboard really doesn't make a good pillow, you make a better one," I reply. I realize that what I've just said isn't something that I would normally say, but there is something about Booth that makes my thoughts and words change. I think that he's gotten me to open up more. He managed to find a place in my heart, and that's something I never thought anyone could ever do.
He walks up to my desk lifts me up and carries me out of the office only stopping to ask how I felt about Chinese food. My only thought as he carries me away is what was it that allowed me to let him do that.
"Booth put me down," I scream realizing that he may hurt his arm.
He smiles before obeying me and placing me down. I love that smile almost as much as I love the smiles owner.
Well I was gonna make her say NO to marrying him but that would be just plain EVIL
PLEASE REVIEW I have actually started on chapter 5 which is gonna be a little different than usual and I've got the story all planned out it should end up being 6 or 7 chapters total
