Chapter 6


Booth walked Brennan up to his apartment and led her to his balcony. It was a beautiful evening and the sun was just about to set.

Booth had dressed the glass table in a navy table cloth with white candles in the middle. The same candles lined the wooden railing that surrounded the platform.

"Would you like some wine?" Booth asked as he lit the grill that was already set to cook.

"That would be great."

"Well please, have a seat Bones. I will be right back." He gave her his charm smiled and then went inside to get the wine.

Bones took a seat at the table and waited for Booth to return. A gentle sound of music came from the speakers located on the balcony and Brennan smiled at the jazz music that wafted through the air.

Booth returned minutes later with the wine in his hand and the meal he had prepared earlier that morning.

"You had all this set up didn't you Booth?"

"What makes you say that Bones?"

"Well, the candle light, the music, everything is almost prepared."

"Well I knew I could get someone to come home with me tonight even if it wasn't you."

Bones hit Booth playfully in the shoulder and made a sad face.

"I'm just kidding Bones. This," He looked all around, "This, is all for you Bones."

She smiled at him. "How did you know I would come back with you?"

"I just hoped, I am glad you didn't let me down."

Bones simply smiled and took a sip of the crimson liquid sitting in front of her. "Me too." She said almost at a whisper.

Booth placed the steaks along with some asparagus and other mixed vegetables on the grill to begin cooking.

He then turned to Bones "May I have this dance?"

She stood as Booth wrapped his arms around her and they swayed to a Billie Holiday song. Brennan smiled as she laid her head on Booth's shoulder. He was so gentle. She never knew that his masculine and strong arms could be so gentle around her.

They broke apart at the end of the song as Booth began to light the candles. "It will be dark soon." He grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the banister as they looked out over the city.

The pink, red, orange, blue and purple colors danced the sky as they looked on, both content for the first time in a very long time.

Booth pulled the steaks and vegetables off the grill and placed them on the table. He then went inside and returned with two salads and a bowl of fruit which he placed on the grill. They then were seated and began to eat, a comfortable silence lingered between them.

They finished watching the sun set as they ate and Booth got up to clear off the table.

"That was wonderful Booth. I love grilled asparagus; it makes your pee smell though."

"What?" Booth questioned, not sure he heard her right.

"The chemicals on asparagus break down in your blood stream and…."

"I don't want to know Bones." He shook his head and then continued into the house.

He returned with a plate of sugar and lightly coated the peaches and strawberries he had placed on the grill moments before.

"Perfect." Booth said taking the fruit from the grill while keeping his eyes on Brennan who was illuminated by the dim light the candles let off. To him she looked like an Angel.

Brennan looked at him. "I have never had grilled fruit." She took to walk over to him.

"I was talking about you."

Bones blushed. "You really have to stop that Booth."

Booth looked down as he took the last bit of fruit from the grill. "Sorry Bones."

"No, it's okay, I'm just not used to that. Not used to getting attention or being told that…."

"Told what?"

"Anything nice."

"Well I for one think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen and I will never stop thinking that or telling you that." Booth smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. He sat down the tray of fruit on the table and wrapped his arms around her.

Just as she was settling into his arms a loud popping startled her and she practically jumped out of Booth's arms and ducked down.

"What was that Booth?"

Booth laughed and reached down to help her up as the popping continued. He turned her around as they once again approached the railing.

Bones eyes grew large as she looked at the colors filling the now dark sky. Explosions of red, white, and blue lit the now bleak sky and she smiled back at Booth as he snaked his arms around her waist.

Bones leaned her head back as she snuggled back against Booth, aligning their bodies. "Well I feel dumb."

"Don't worry Bones, I could see how you could forget it is the 4th of July." He laughed and pulled her closer, if that was possible.

They watched in amazement as the fireworks show consumed them. Booth fed her the grilled strawberries and she was intoxicated by the taste that seemed to consume her body as they watched the show in front of them. Brennan only broke the silence to ask, "did you know that this was here?"

"I saw it for the first time eight years ago. I had just moved to DC and didn't really know many people. I stayed at home that 4th and was amazed at the show from the baseball field that is about ten blocks that way. Ever since then I have spent it here."

"It is quite a sight."

"And you know something else Bones?"

"What?"

"I have never shared this with anyone before you."

"In eight years you have never brought anyone to see this?"

Booth shrugged "I never wanted to share it with anyone but you."

They turned their attention back to end of the show and watch the grand finale. "I haven't seen anything like that since…."

"Since?"

"Since my father took me to a Yankee's game on the 4th when I was twelve. They had a huge fireworks display that night after the game. It was great." Brennan smiled at the good memory she had of her childhood.

"I am glad you could share that with me Bones." Booth said as he turned her towards him and placed both hands on her checks. He leaned in and kissed her scarlet lips.

She smiled into the kiss. "Thank you for today Booth, all of it. It has been great."

"It was my pleasure Bones, I am glad you are going to give me a shot."

She smiled at him as she ran her hands up his broad chest. She leaned her body against him as she captured his lips with her own. The kiss was full of passion trust, and love, but more than that it was full of wanting and lust.

She moaned as his tongue rubbed the rough of her mouth, sending tingles down her spine. Booth smiled into the kiss as he felt his own emotions reflected in her.

Brennan wrapped her legs around his waist and rubbed her hips against his obviously responding body.

"Bones." Booth said in between kisses. "We need to take this slow."

"We have taken this slow Booth, to slow. I can't wait anymore."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Okay, but not like this, not out here." Booth sat her down and blew out the candles. He then turned to her and began to kiss her neck as he pulled her back into his apartment.

Booth slowly began to undress her. She wildly pulled at his clothes but he stopped her. "I want to make love to you Bones. Can we do this my way?"

She shook her head as he pulled her shirt over her head. Running his hands through her hair as he kissed her, he slowly made his way with his hands to the untied the hot pink knot still linked at the base of her neck.

The small swim suit fell down and revealed her in her glory. He reached behind her and finished removing the small top that he had wanted to remove since he had seen her in it earlier that day.

She then reached for the hem of his shirt and slowly pulled it over his head as they reached his bed.

Booth moved his hands down her torso as his lips assaulted hers. His hands slid around her firm waist as he pulled her to him once more.

She felt all of him in the brief moment and wanted to push him on the bed and fulfill her biological needs but her mind kept telling her that this was different, this was Booth. This time it would be on his terms, next time she would make sure it would be her own though.

Booth placed his hands at the button of her shorts and slowly unbuttoned and unzipped the small shorts she was wearing. With one swift move the shorts and bikini bottoms were on the floor and Brennan sat down on the edge of the bed.

Her hands slid down his rock hard abs and removed the shorts that still clung to his body. Now both free of their bindings, they scooted back as Booth, slowly, and passionately made love to the woman of his dreams, the woman that he finally held in his arms.

"Bones?"

"Yeah Booth?"

"I can't think of tomorrow without thinking of you and that makes me, for the first time ever, look forward to the rest of my life."

"I couldn't have said it better myself Booth."

Finally, Booth and Bones were one. They both knew that this was right where they belonged, in each other arms.

The End.
