When You Know: CHAPTER 9
She checked her reflection for the tenth time as she waited nervously in her apartment. Angela had just left after spending most of the day helping her choose a dress and a style for the night.
apparenly Booth was going to find it extremely difficult to keep his hands off her tonight.
Brennan almost jumped out of her skin when she heard a gentle knock at the door. after giving the mirror one more quick glance she headed to answer the door.
Booth shifted slightly from foot to foot as he waited in the hallway outside Temperances aparement. it had been a long time since he had felt this nervous about a date. he heard a sound from inside and quickly smoothed his tie, and checked to see if his shoes were still clean before the door opened.
His eyes were still cast downwards when the door opened and his date stepped forward slightly to lean on the doorframe.
Slowly he let his eyes move away from his own feet, taking in her high-heel strappy sandles.
Slowly moving higher over the exposed flesh of her lower legs.
Slowly over the smooth black material which clung slightly to her thighs.
Slowly up over her waist and stomach (covered by the same material).
He let his eyes move higher still.
From what he could see, the dress was fastened with a knot behind her neck, leaving her arms and shoulders completely free. He forced himself not to look at the most inviting part of the dress.
Finally his gaze fell on her her face. Her makeup was dark and smokey which made her blue eyes shine brighter than he had ever seen.
His eyes shifted to her rosey lips and his mouth went dry. suddenly he realised that her lips were moving. she'd spoken to him.
"Huh?" was all he could manage as he forced his eyes back to hers. it was that moment that he noticed how uncomfortable she looked.
"I said i'm not sure about this" she stepped back and turned into her apartment leaving the door open.
"What aren't you sure about?" Booth shut the door behind him as he followed her, fighting not to stare at the way her hips moved when she walked in those heels.
"This!" she indicated her dress then both of them. "can't we just get take out?"
"Bones!" He moved quickly to catch her hand before she let it fall back to her side. "we can't just get btake out! we're way too overdressed" he chuckled at his own joke, "besides i want to take you for a nice meal... that's not take out. we do that all the time Bones. plus you got yourself all dressed up"
"Angela did it" she smiled slightly "she insisted on hearing everything after she saw you kiss me this morning and next thing i know she's here doing my makeup and curling my hair" she sighed heavily "I look like a china doll!"
Booth turned her to face a mirror then stood close behind her, his hands lightly resting on her shoulders.
"No china doll looks like this!" their eyes met in the mirror and he slowly moved to place a feather light kiss on her bare shoulder.
From where he was standing he noticed another great feature of the dress...it was backless.
"Believe me when i say this Temperance, you look beautiful." he placed anothe kiss to her neck and she let out a contented sigh.
"Ok," Her voice was almost a whisper. "let's go before I change my mind"
"Yes ma'am"
