Thanks for the great reviews. I hope to see more. I'm sorry if I don't post every day this week, because I am at a swim meet. Enjoy!
Chapter 5
Brennan returned in shorts and a t-shirt. Booth tried to keep his eyes off of her practically bare body. He knew she would notice if he gave her the once-over, so he had to resist the temptation.
"These are yours," Brennan said, handing a pair of sweatpants and an FBI t-shirt to him.
"Oh, right, thanks."
"I'll go make popcorn while you change," Brennan called to him as he walked into the bathroom.
She couldn't help but think about how Booth had reacted as she came out in short shorts and a t-shirt. Most of all, she couldn't wait to see Booth when he was not in a suit.
She continued to make that popcorn. She had just set the bowl on the coffee table by the couch when Booth walked out in the sweats. Brennan could see just how toned his muscles were and how in-shape he was.
"Good thinking, Bones, popcorn."
He pressed the play button and settled next her on the couch. She placed the bowl of popcorn in between them on top of their legs, which were touching. The movie started and as the plot revealed itself, they leaned further into each other. When the popcorn was gone, the movie was starting to get scary. Booth leaned forward to place the bowl on the table, but he felt Brennan's hand on his, pulling his back toward her. He turned back to look at her. She looked completely horrified, and she was shivering. Booth began to get up, but she protested.
"Stay, Booth, they're going to eat me."
"It's ok, Bones, I'm just getting a blanket, and this is purely fiction. Are you sure you don't want to watch something different?"
"No, we can watch this."
Booth returned to the couch. She grabbed his hand and pulled down onto the couch, practically on top of her. Booth laughed at her, and wrapped the blanket around the tow of them. She jumped from fright from the movie. Booth wrapped his arms around her and pulled her so that she was pretty much laying on him. The last 15 minutes of the movie were peaceful and calm. Brennan finally relaxed in Booth's arms. She laid her head back onto his chest, and soon enough she was asleep.
When the movie ended, Booth realized that he should go home. He gave her a kiss on the forehead, and wiggled out from under her. She stirred.
"With you stay here with me, please," Brennan pleaded.
"I promise, the zombies wont get you," Booth reassured her.
"Please, I want you to stay."
"Alright," he agreed.
He sat behind her on the couch and lay down. He pulled her to lie down in front of him. They lay on their sides, her back against his chest, and his hand around her stomach. The blanket was draped over their bodies. They drifted into a deep sleep.
Please press that little review button. I would make my day!
