It's been an incredibly long time. I'm sorry! It's summer now so I'm hoping to have more time to write. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
"Bones! Slow down," Booth hollered at the top of his lungs down the utterly quiet hallway. His breaths came in short gasps as he raced after the retreating figure. He brushed past the receptionist's desk, vaguely aware of her shouts to quiet down. All he was worried about was Bones.
Booth hastily flung the heavy glass door open, letting it close with a snap. The wind had picked up since they had gone inside the spa. His eyes began to water as he looked left and right Bones.
"Bones!" he screamed, but his words were swallowed by the hallowing gust.
"Bones!" he continued yelling even though his words continued to go no where.
He rushed through the parking lot looking behind car after car. Hopeless, Booth got on his knees and peered underneath the cars. He noticed at pair of shoes just a couple cars down from where he was. Jumping up, he silently crept like a cat to where Bones was standing. Not wanting her to run, he snuck up behind her and pin her to the black car.
"AHHH!" she screamed.
"AHHH!" Booth screeched.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" she held the tiny key in front of her like it was a mighty sword.
"Jesus Christ! You're not Bones." Booth was completely breathless. "I'm so, so, so sorry. I thought you were somebody else." He took his hands off the car and began to back away. He put his arms in the air, looking like he was surrendering.
"Sure you did," she glared at him. "I bet that's what you tell all the girls."
"Oh no, no, no! Seriously, I thought you were my partner." Booth began to inch closer to her to calm her frantic nerves. The lady's voice had reached a pitch only animals could her.
"HELP!" she yelled hysterically.
"Please STOP! I thought you were another person", Booth explained desperately.
"HELP!" she continued.
A sound of frantic footsteps raced towards the two. Booth sighed as a flushed and worried Brennan rounded the corner.
"What's wrong?" Brennan asked the woman with concern.
"This…this… man." She continued to point her key at Booth. Brennan rounded on Booth.
"What do you think you're doing?" she said in a deadly calm voice. This is worse than her yelling at me, Booth thought.
"I thought she was you! Come on, Bones. You know I wouldn't do anything like that."
"Don't call me Bones," she said in a voice with no emotions.
The woman that was attacked whipped her car door open suddenly. She slid in and locked her door immediately. After a few seconds, she rolled down her window just a crack.
"I'm going to get going. I won't file charges," she said quickly. The tires squeaked when she pulled out of her parking lot with haste. Booth and Brennan stood in silence watching the car drive into the distance. Once the car was out of sight, Brennan turned and walked away without one word said.
"Bones."
"No. I don't want to talk."
"You can't be mad at me, Temperance!" Booth tried to reasoned, but she continued to walk.
"Temperance, stop," he ordered. She halted and spun on her heels. Her hair was flying into her eyes.
"What do you want for me, Booth?" she cried.
"I want you to hear me out." He took her silence as and acceptance. "I love you, Bones. I know you don't want to hear it, but that's the truth. I hate the thought of you being with anyone other than me. I want you to be mine, no one else's. I want you to be mine so we can fight each other, " He took a step closer. ",laugh at each other," another step. ",eat all the Thai food we want to together." He took another step and was directly in front of his Bones. He cautiously reached out and brushed a hair out of her eyes.
"Bones? Please say something," he pleaded.
All cliffhanger... leave me a review. I hope you like it. It was hard to get back into this story after such a long time.
