Chapter 3

The morning seemed to creep along so slowly. He laughed. Bones would say that time could not creep. It only passed. He always loved her literal remarks. That was one of the million things he loved about her. She was just perfect, although others would say otherwise. He saw what was really behind her walls of reason and thought that she had built around herself.

What time was it? Only 11. He had one more hour of work before he could go find Bones. What was he doing? He was a man. He could survive 3 hours away from his partner. It was just so hard. His life was complete when she was around.

"Booth."

Hacker interrupted Booth.

"Yes, sir," Booth replied.

"I have a proposition for you. I don't know if Dr. Brennan knows, but she has been invited by the Guatemalan go and assist in the recovery of an ancient Aztec site found recently," Hacker explained.

"How does this affect me?" Booth asked, obviously confused.

"The FBI has requested you to accompany her." Hacker explained.

"Oh, sure. I'll do it. When do we leave?"

"The day after tomorrow," stated Hacker.

"The day after tomorrow? Were you planning on telling us any time soon?" Booth said sarcastically.

"I assume you will be the one to inform Dr. Brennan if she isn't already aware."

"Yes, sir," Booth replied.

Booth attempted to keep a straight face for the duration of his conversation with Hacker, but when he left the room, Booth gave up. He let the huge grin that was begging to appear on his face appear. He couldn't believe it! He was getting to spend 4 weeks in Central America with Bones! It would just be the two of them with no squint squad or ogling boss. He desperately hoped that Bones would feel somewhat similarly about the situation. He looked at the clock. It was 11:45, time to pick up Bones. He jumped from the paperwork that he had been working on, grabbed his keys, and headed for the SUV.

The drive to the Jeffersonian was peaceful with little traffic, but Booth was too distracted to notice. His mind was still set on a mental image of Bones and him in the tropics. Hopefully he could drag her away from her work so that she could at least have a little fun. Maybe they could get some quality beach time. Bones in a bikini. He stopped himself. He was a good catholic boy. He tried to keep his thoughts righteous.

He walked through the door of the Jeffersonian. He nodded towards the guards that he had come to know so well. He immediately saw his Bones. She was, as usual, leaning over a set of remains, inspecting them carefully. Her eyes were squinted, and she seemed so focused. Booth just stared at her and watched. She looked s adorable. Before he could come back to reality by himself, Angela waked by and greeted him.

"Hey, Agent Hot-Stuff quit drooling. She'd murder you if she saw your longing face and that tongue hanging out of your mouth. And trust me, she of all people could get away with it," Angela always tried to play matchmaker for Booth and Brennan, but in the end, they would have to sort it out for themselves.

"Hey, Ange."

Booth walked up the stairs of the platform. Bones didn't even look up or notice him until he snuck his hand around her shoulder. She jumped at his touch, but when she saw who it was, she immediately relaxed.

"You ready to go?" Brennan greeted him.

"Yeah, common," He said as she ran back from her office with her coat.

They headed toward the diner in the SUV.

"So, do you know about our trip to Guatemala?" Booth asked.

"I know about mine, but not ours," she said, sounding quite confused.

"Yeah, I'm going with you. Here, read," he said, handing her the information on the trip that Hacker had given him. They sat in silence for a few minutes as Brennan read. Booth had to try so hard to keep his focus on the road. He was so tempted to just stare at her. She always looked so beautiful.

"Wait. Why are you going with me? And why do you have to be with me at all times?" Brennan whined.

"Because I'm your body guard, so I have to guard you at all times."

"This is insane. Why would someone believe that I couldn't take care of myself?" Brennan growled, "This is just going to feed your ego and alpha-male tendencies. This is just you attempting to protect the female in order to prove your worthiness as a potential mate. It is an anthropological instinct."

"Okay, Bones, I get it. I'm protecting you for some anthropological reason," Booth chuckled.

They sat in silence as Brennan finished reading. She stopped suddenly when she glanced over the hotel reservations.

"Wait! We are sharing a room?" Brennan said, completely appalled.

"Umm, yeah, we are," Booth said plainly, "I am supposed to be with you at all times, remember?"

"Yeah, I guess." Brennan murmured as they walked into to the diner and occupied their usual booth. They ate lunch fairly slowly. They always did. Neither would admit why, but they both secretly knew that it was because they wanted to spend more time together. Booth finished his pie as Brennan looked at him, disgusted. Booth offered her a bite of his pie. She squirmed in her seat. The thought of baked fruit just made her stomach feel uneasy.

"Common, just try it, Bones," Booth pleaded, pushing the fork further towards her mouth.

"Why? Why do you always insist on me eating pie?" Brennan said, trying to change the subject.

"Just try it Bones, please. You'll either love it, or you'll hate it and I will stop bothering you about it."

"Ok," Brennan said timidly.

Booth pushed the fork closer to her mouth. Brennan ate the desert off of the fork. Booth pulled out the fork slowly. He could not keep his mind from thinking of how intimate it must've seemed. Brennan chewed slowly, not showing satisfaction, but not protesting.

"It's not too bad, but I still don't like the idea of baked fruit. It isn't great though," Brennan stated after finishing her bite. Booth grinned, having a feeling of victory.

They finished their meals and paid. After they paid, Booth drove Brennan back to the lab. He walked in with her, since he was, after all, a gentleman. They walked into her office. They talked for a few minutes about the case, and then Booth left. He told her that he would pick her up to go to Sweets. Booth always hated leaving her, but he only had to wait 3 hours until he would see her again. Of course, he wouldn't get any work done in the mean time. All he ever did when she wasn't around was think about her, and what they could be….

I'll have the next chapter up ASAP. PLEASE review!!!!!!
