A/N: My muse, Kevin (yes I named my muse Kevin) works
in weird ways. One minute I'll just be sitting there day dreaming
of Booth, then the next I'll have a story idea and it will be
almost fully formed. Weird, I know. So I decided to continue on from
the one-shot... coz I can!
Basically, in the first chapter it
explains that they have been together for 7 months. I am going to
write a chapter per month (there will be seven more chapters. Eight
in total.)
This is their first month as a couple. Basically it
will be their first date which was briefly mention in chapter one. I
hope you enjoy.
Booth didn't want to have their first date at the diner, he wanted to romance Bones and that was something he couldn't do in a diner. He wanted to pick her up at her place and buy her flowers. He wanted to stare into her eyes all night and kiss her sweetly as they finished their date. Bones didn't want all the fuss, but one look into Booth's reassuring, warm brown eyes made her agree to his wishes. How could she deny that smile?
Booth pulled up to Bones' apartment complex ten
minutes early. He made his way up the stairs, deciding against the
elevator hoping the five flights climb will help settle his nerves.
It didn't, so he made his way to her door and inhaled deeply, then
he knocked and waited patiently as he held a bunch of daisies and
daffodils behind his back. She answered the door and Booth gaped at
the beauty before him.
"Oh my god Temperence, you look amazing.
You truly are the most beautiful, stunning woman I have ever seen."
Booth said sincerely.
She wore a sky blue, knee length Marilyn
Monroe style dress.
"You look good too Bo-, Seely. Really
good."
Booth wore faded grey bootleg jeans and a black casual
dress shirt with the first two buttons undone.
"Thank you. These
are for you, but they lack beauty in comparison to you" Booth said
making Bones blush.
"This is a side to you I've never seen. I
didn't know it existed."
"What most people don't know is,
that I am a hopeless romantic. It's a side I normally never reveal,
only to the very few."
"I'm glad you're allowing me to
view this side of you."
"Well how bout we hit the road?"
"Let
me grab my purse and put these in some water."
Booth nodded and
watched Bones move around her apartment. He smiled, never before had
he been so captivated by such a simple everyday movement.
"I'm
ready." Bones said locking up her front door. She clutched on to
Booth's hand and smiled up at him as they made their wait to the
elevator. They stepped into an empty elevator and Booth turned to
Bones releasing her hand and winding his arms around her waist.
"It's
occurred to me that I haven't kissed you yet." Booth said leaning
in.
"Yes, how can that be? But don't most people leave the
kiss till the end of the date?"
"We aren't most people
Temperance."
"Another good point Booth." With that she
filled the gap and placed her lips on Booth's. They were
interrupted shortly after by an elderly woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry
to intrude Temperance. Good to see you marked you claim on him" she
said gesturing towards Booth. "If I was just 40 years younger, I
would have snatched him up long before now."
Bones only smiled
and said her goodbyes as the elderly lady got off.
"It seems you
have quite the reputation in my building" Bones teased
"Don't
mock me. I'm Seeley Booth, ladies man." Booth puffed out his
chest. Bones just rolled her eyes as they stepped out of the elevator
making their way to the Tahoe. Once they got to the car, Booth made
no attempt to open her door, knowing it will only earn him crosses
against him instead of ticks.
"We are we going Booth?" Bones
queried as Booth started up the car and pulled out onto the
street.
"A small restaurant called "Moments". A guy in my
outfit was a qualified chef before he joined and when we came back he
decided to open up Moments as it was his lifelong dream."
They sat and ate at the restaurant and engaged in light
conversation about work, Parker, Russ and his clan as well as her dad
and his parents. Once they finished, Booth paid for the meal and they
left.
"The night is still young and I'd like to show you
something."
"What is it?"
"A surprise. It's about
half an hour away from here."
The drove in a comfortable silence
stealing glances at each other every moment we got. Booth linked his
hand through hers a through a sweet smile her way.
"You look
really beautiful tonight."
"I'm glad you think so. I guess
I'm still in shock that we are here."
"I am too, so don't
worry.
A few minutes later Booth pulled into a empty car park on
top of a high hill. He killed the engine but left on his head lights.
They stepped out of the car and Booth led Bones to a small lookout
over the city.
"I come here a lot to think. No many people know
about it and I love that.
"It beautiful."
"Yeah it is"
Booth replied not quite meaning the lookout. "Temperance? Would you
like to dance?"
"But there is no music?"
"You mistaken
there. Hold on." Booth walked the short distance to his Tahoe and
turned on the radio, he scanned the channels before settling on a
final one. Booth slowly moved toward Bones and enveloped her into his
arms. She placed her left hand in is and her right arm around his
shoulder as an acoustic guitar filled the air. The song was not
familiar to Bones but she closed her eyes and rested her head on
Booth's shoulder as they slowly moved side to side.
What day is it? And in what
month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I
can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's
you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to
lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know
why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
One of the things that I
want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on
words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from
here
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing
to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other
people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of
you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure
out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is
right
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with
nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other
people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and
me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And
it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't
keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what
month?
This clock never seemed so alive
Booth hummed along with the
tune and caught Bones' gaze. She knew he was singing it to her.
The
two remained glued to each other for another 40 minutes of romantic
songs.
Booth leaned down and lifted her chin for a kiss. They
kiss slowly with no need of lust or passion behind it, just love and
desire. Once they pulled away Booth walked them back over to the
Tahoe and completely shut of the engine so the only light was from
the moon and the star's twinkle and the only noise was the occasion
hoot from an owl or chirp from a cricket. Bones walked to the front
on the car and sat on the hood, Booth close behind. They sat gazing
at the city lights. Little dots of light and colour. Bones broke the
relaxed silence.
"Booth?"
"Hmm?"
"Do
you think this... I mean us can work?"
"I have every intention
of making this work Temperance, making it last. I'm not letting go
for no one."
"Me too Seeley, me too."
"I need to say
this so I'm just coming out with it. Just listen." Bones nodded
and allowed Booth to continue. "The feelings I have for you are so
much stronger than any other woman I have known. I look into your
eyes and I get lost in them. You don't cease to amaze, every day
you amaze me. Even though you know exactly how to push my buttons
driving me crazy, I still find myself worshipping the ground you walk
on. You have me mesmerized. You are who I constantly turn to and you
the only one I want to tell my problems to because you don't sugar
coat it and just give it to me straight. You're the thing I hold
onto when my world comes spinning in and crashing down. A lot of my
past relationships ended that way because I could feel they weren't
telling the whole truth but you do. You're the first one I've
told my military past too. I tried with Rebecca once and she looked
at me with a horrified, disgusted look on her face. No you, it
doesn't bother you that I've killed over fifty people. You say
you're horrible with people but you're not with me, you know more
about me than anyone else. You're my everything, my heart, my rock,
my constant." Booth finished. Tears were streaming down Bones'
face as she took in everything Booth just said.
"Tempe, oh don't
cry. I'm sorry." Booth said, he thought he had said too much,
pushed too much on her.
"No, I'm not crying because I'm
scared, which I am, I'm crying because everything you just said, it
was beautiful. You came barging into my life at full speed and with a
sledge hammer you knocked down all my defensive walls without help
and not giving up. Every time I put up another one, you were there
working overtime tearing it down. No one has ever tried so hard with
me, they just give up and move one, not you. I hate how vulnerable I
feel but one look into your eyes I feel all of it wash away. The
feelings I have when you're around just overwhelm me. The only
people that have ever been left in this far were my parents and they
left me. But when you got shot and "died" a part of me died too.
You know, when I got home from the hospital after being told that you
had passed away, I sat in my living room in the dark, your blood
still staining my hands and shirt. Don't ever leave like that
again, I wouldn't be able to take it. You're all I want." Bones
finished with even more tears streaming down before. She was
surprised when she noticed Booth's red rimmed eyes and obvious tear
stains on his cheeks.
"I promise you, I'm not going anywhere
and if I happen to die, I will always be right here." He said
gently placing a hand over her heart. He wiped away both their tears
and Booth smiled sweetly. "I guess we better get back."
"Yeah,
I guess we should" Bones held Booth's gaze and they kissed again,
but this time it was far much sweetr than their previous kisses.
There was love behind it.
Booth drove her back home. He held her
hand in his and placed them on his lap. Every so often at a red light
he would kiss her knuckles, sending a wave of electricity threw her
body
They arrived back at her apartment at 11.30 and Booth walked
her up to her door.
"Would you like to come in?"
"No, I
think I'll go home"
"Oh" Booth noticed the disappointment
in her voice.
"Hey" He said gently bringing her eyes up to
meet his. "It's not that I don't want too, trust me I do, I
just don't want you to think I want to get you into bed."
"When
you put it that way, I can't help but respect that."
"Then
it's time I kissed you goodnight and left you to your thoughts.
About me I hope."
Bones nodded and closed her eyes as Booth
placed a sweet goodnight kiss to her lips, she licked at his bottom
lip, silently asking. Booth pulled away and leaned his head on hers
and their warm breaths mingled.
"Don't start anything I can't
finish. Once I get started I won't be able to stop." Booth's
voice was low and husky. "Goodnight Temperance Brennan"
"Goodnight Seeley Booth" She replied closing and locking the
door after watching him leave. She turned around and slid down the
door, a massive grin plastered to her face.
"Goodnight Seeley
Booth, thank you for the greatest night of my life" she whispered
with a deep contented sigh.
