Chapter 10.

They walked for the better part of the day. When the sun started to set, they actually saw smoke coming from houses.

When they saw the smoke they stopped and turned to each other, smiled and hugged. Finally, civilization they both thought. They slowly made their way down the hill that led towards the smoke. It would be yet another day before they were back.

The hill was steep and covered with wet, slippery grass. It would be a challenge to make it down in one piece they realized, but they had to go down. Booth went first, now feeling completely recovered from the snakebite. He took one step at a time, Brennan following him slowly. Suddenly she slipped and started sliding down the grassy hill, bumping into Booth on her way down. He fell on top of her and they both slid down. The ride sped up and they started rolling down instead.

When they finally reached the bottom of the hill, Brennan lay on top of Booth with her face by his feet.
"This is some view" he said and smiled cheekily as he stared at her butt.

"Don't even go there you little..." she started before letting out a scream.

Booth had given her a little spank. She looked back with an angry look in her face but when she saw his cheeky smile she couldn't help but start laughing and rolled off him.

"Come on you little kid" she said while getting on her feet and stretched out a hand to help him up.

He took it, but instead of getting up, he pulled her down to him.

"Hey" she said before he kissed her.

They rolled around while kissing so that she was on the ground under him this time. When their lips parted for air she said:

"Why don't we stay here?"

"I'd love to, but I don't think that our friends would appreciate it, not to mention Parker and most definitaley not our bosses" he said with a smile.

"Oh yeah, our bosses and Parker" she said. "But our so called friends are the ones who put us here anyway."

"That's right. Angela is dead meat" he said and smiled.

"Hey, that's my friend you're talking about" Brennan said and punched his arm.

"Yeah, I know" he said before leaning in and kissed her again.

They lay in the wet grass for a while and made out. The sun set in the west and colored the sky in orange, gold, red and finally darkening blue. The stars slowly came out and glittered like small diamonds in the sky. The moon shone full and colored everything in silver. The both people, now in love, got up on their feet again after they've been laying in the grass for hours. They had to make one final shelter for cover during the night. When it was done they both went inside and laid down with the now not-so-clean blanket over them. Once again Brennan laid close to Booth, almost on top of him with her hand over his heart. Her head had been tucked in between his neck and shoulder. He turned his head so he faced her hair and tilted his head down a bit so it came to rest next to the top of her head. He let out a deep sigh and went to sleep. She both heard and felt his sigh and smiled where she lay. He needed a shower, so did she. He desperately needed a shave, she desperately needed a shower. He desperately needed to sleep in a warm, comfortable bed, so did she and she needed a shower.

'Oh boy' she thought. 'I thought about the same thing three times. I must really need a shower.'

"Bones" she heard him say.

"Don't call me Bones."

"You need a shower, you stink."

"Look who's talking."

She didn't get an answer. Deep breathing explained that he had gone to sleep.

'I should go to sleep too' she thought and relaxed and went to sleep.
