The rest of his day passed quickly. Classes came and went for the rest of the evening so he wasn't given much spare time for thinking. The only thing he could think was about how much he couldn't wait to get home.
She on the other hand had nothing but time to dwell on what had happened beside her car. she was sure that what he had done was more then acting. And what she had felt was definitely much more then what you should feel for your partner, or even your pretend husband. As the day passed she still couldn't shake the feeling she had in the pit of her stomach. She busied her self tidying up the house and before she knew it she heard the front door opening.
"Wow you cleaned up! I didn't know you could do that!" he laughed.
"Hey my apartment was always clean!" she replied.
"That's only because you didn't spend anytime there! Now you desk at the lab on the other hand!" he grinned.
"Alright, alright…" She knew she was beaten. He looked at the clock on the wall over her head.
"God half nine! I thought I'd never get out of there! The principle introduced me to all the other teachers. Then gave me a three hour speech on how much he hoped I'd like it here and telling me the history of the school. Good thing we had a big lunch or I would have starved! Have you eaten?"
"Yeah a while ago. Do you want something?"
"No I'm ok. I might just go to bed. It was a long day." He wasn't going to bring up what had happened earlier, he knew it could freak her out if he did.
"Right." She replied.
"Night!" he went upstairs looking after him.
She was standing up again. But she sat straight back down. She had done that over ten times in the last five minutes, since Booth had gone up to his room. She was thinking Should I go up? No I can't. Can I? then she saw something on the coffee table that gave her an excuse to go up
Booth was standing at the end of his bed when the door opened. He turned at the sound.
"Bones? You alright?" she looked up at him,
"Yeah you just forgot your phone." Se held it out to him.
"Right thanks." He smiled.
"Night." She turned to leave,
"Bones wait!" he said. She turned.
"You can't go." He said.
"Sorry?"
"Mary can't see the light in your room on again." He shrugged.
"Oh yeah right. I'll sleep on the couch then." She nodded. He watched as she went to leave again. Say something! He roared at himself inside his head. Please let him say something! She thought at the exact same time.
"NO!" he blurted out.
"What?"
"What I mean is you could stay here. With me." He stepped towards her.
"Booth…" she shook her head knowing that she wanted this but still refusing herself to give in.
"Bones I know you felt something earlier when I kissed you. You had to!" he touched her hair.
"No Booth. It doesn't matter what we feel we work together. We can't…" he interrupted.
"Bones" he said and she put a hand on his face.
"No Booth we cant." She put her other hand on his waist. They both knew her words were meaningless.
"Shut up Bones." He said softly and kissed her.
She then realized that she never wanted to have to use her own room again.
