And it continues…
Buried for 1 Hour 52 Minutes 15 Seconds
"Dig faster!" Booth yelled as he stripped off his coat and dress shirt leaving only a white wife beater on his upper half. Before jumping into the 3 foot deep whole he grabbed a shovel off the dry ground.
"Agent Booth, please." One of the agents said. The clang of the shovel hitting a solid object grabbed their attention.
Booth dropped his shovel and began clearing the dirt off around the door to the box. Once it was clear Booth opened the glass door. People gathered around as they watched this single man work.
"Where the hell are those EMTs?" Booth yelled over his shoulder. Booth reached in and pulled out Jack Hodgins first. As soon as he was out two men lifted him onto a stretcher, putting an oxygen mask around his face. Angela followed as they loaded him into one of the ambulances. Booth reached back into the box and took Temperance into his arms. Her carried her himself all the way over to the other stretcher.
"Temperance. Wake up baby." Booth said as the stretcher was pushed back towards the vehicle. Booth climbed into the ambulance along with one of the other EMTs.
The Hospital
Booth stood outside Temperance's hospital room, running his hands nervously over his face. "But she'll be okay right?"
"That's correct." The tall man nodded. "She was severely dehydrated, she had a fever and had trouble breathing. We were able to get her temperature and breathing under control but she is being given fluids through an IV. Assuming she shows improvement I would say she'd be fine to go home tonight."
Seeley let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you doctor." He shook the man's hand before entering back into her room. Booth walked to the far side of the bed and pulled the chair closer to her before sitting down. He wrapped her hand in his as he spoke. "Come on Bones, wake up. I really want to hear what you had to say."
"Can I just fake amnesia this time?" Tempe replied as she stirred in bed beside Booth.
He smiled. "I'd much rather you didn't." His smile faded as he noticed her serious expression.
"Did you sleep with Dr. Saroyan?" She asked, pulling her hand from out of Booth's and placing it in her lap, keeping her eyes cast downward.
Booth ran the palm of his hand over his face. "I don't want to lie to you Bones. Yeah I did."
"Was it more than just sex?" Her voice was strong but she was still avoiding his gaze.
Booth stood and maneuvered himself so that he was sitting on the edge of her bed. He placed one hand on top of hers and the other angled her face towards his so that she was looking into his eyes.
"Not for a second." He smiled at her.
"Ok." She said simply with a small smile.
Booth looked like she had slapped him. He was in shock. "What? That's it?"
"Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?" She replied as she leaned forward.
"Don't you want to be mad and fight with me?" He asked confused.
Temperance took her hands from his grasp and placed them on his cheeks. Her right thumb caressing his stubbly skin. "It was just sex?"
"Yes." Booth swallowed the lump in his throat.
"It's over?" She asked, inching her face closer to his.
"Yes."
"Do you want to know what I was going to tell you before?"
"Yes."
"Ok." Temperance pressed her lips to his gently. Booth's body was frozen at first but as she wrapped her arms around his neck and opened her mouth against his, he began to react. Their kissing grew increasingly passionate as Booth ran his hands through her hair and over her back. Temperance pulled away first, panting slightly. She spoke as she leaned her head against his. "How's that?"
Booth smiled as he moved his lips closer to hers again. "Sounds good."
YAY! FLUFFINESS TIME FOR EVER! I'll keep this story going if ya'll want.
