It was early the next morning that Tempe awoke to a soft pain in her side. Half awake she rolled from her back onto her left side hoping to find the source, bumping against a stiff object, she assumed was Booth, she then rolled to her right side and hit another hard object with impact. A soft moan escaped her lips as she opened her eyes and found herself staring at the soft carpet. Sitting up she heard a laugh coming from back on top of them bed.
"You think that was funny?" she asked upset about her rude wake up call.
"Extremely." Booth answered leaning over to grab her pillow.
"I felt something poking me." she mumbled lifting the side of her shirt up to check for any bug bites. She quickly covered back up when she noticed the way Booth was looking at her.
"Yeah, sorry, that was me." he said averting his gaze to her eyes.
"Why were you poking me?" she asked walking towards the bathroom that was conjoined to the room they shared.
"You were asleep on my arm and it was asleep it kind of hurt." He mumbled moving his arm trying to get the blood flowing again.
"sorry." She said poking her head out before closing the door, soon the sound of running water could be heard.
Booth shook his head and lifted the sheets to crawl out of the bed and walk over to the window where he opened the white curtains and allowed the Hawaiian sun to bathe the room in its glow. He then turned and walked into the kitchen where he got the coffee started and headed out to the balcony. He had been sitting in the same chair he had occupied before looking out in the distance at the fire. He hadn't known how long he had been sitting there or how he had missed the sound of the door sliding open, but the second she said something he jumped.
"Are you sure we can still go to Hana?" she said making her way to the chair beside him. Her hair was wet and straight and she wore jean Capri's with a purple top that had the designs of Hawaiian flowers.
"Why wouldn't it be?" he asked once the initial shock wore off.
"The fire."
"Bones, Hana's on the other side of the island. We'll never even see the fire."
"Oh, ok, great. Go shower so we can go get something to eat, I'm starving."
"Is the baby making mommy hungry?" Booth joked, but his smile disappeared as she threw him a death glare. "I'll just go shower." He said and walked away and back into the room.
"Booth." Tempe said picking up her ringing cell phone.
"Hey sweetie, how are you?" a happy female voice asked from the other end.
"Aright yourself? Anything new on the case?"
"I'm fine and nothing new yet; I'm still working on trying to figure out why my computer won't go back on."
"Did something happen?"
"There was a black out yesterday, it's started snowing for the winter and the blizzards are just starting." She explained. "How's the weather over there?"
"Sunny and warm. It's only eight thirty right now and it's almost seventy eight degrees. There is a real nice breeze coming in."
"So how's the marriage going so far? And how about my little niece or nephew?"
"Booth and I are doing fine with the marriage thing, as for the baby, it could be worse." She lied running her hand over her flat stomach; soon she would have to carry around 'Tammy the Bulging Tummy' and would have to act pregnant.
"Well that's good news, look my phone is dieing, but I was wondering if you could possibly get me a sarong? I've always wanted one straight from Hawaii."
"Of course, I saw them as we drove into town the other day, I was going to get you one, but I don't know what color you would want."
"Blue or green."
"Blue or green, got that I'll let her know, but right now we have to go; I have some husband business to attend to." Booth told Angela as he grabbed the phone from Tempe. "Ok I'll let her know, bye."
"I see we're ready to go." She said looking over to the beach where a few of the locals had already begun surfing for the day. Booth gave her an odd look; normally she would have killed him for saying what he had to Angela.
"Yup, are you?"
"I guess so." She said getting up and following him into the apartment to grab her purse, hat and sunglasses then walked out into the nice day, Booth behind her all along with his glasses on.
As he walked in front of her to the car, she had to suppress a laugh as she realized he was wearing a grey T-Shirt with shorts. The shorts were complimented by browns male sandals that matched the shorts perfectly. As they got into the car they headed towards the airport they had arrived in and past the awful smell of the sugar canes. After an hours worth of driving the finally hit a small town of Paia, a small sign told them only one hundred and fifty three people lived in the small town and a three minutes drive through told them how small the place really was.
"That town is so small I think we missed it." Booth joked after they were some distance away.
"That's not funny, I would love to live in a small town like that, it's American." She said fiddling with the music stations.
"Yeah, very American." He said sarcastically. "You'll never find a radio station up here, check in the glove compartment I have a few CD's I brought."
"This road is getting me sick." Tempe said opening her window to allow the fresh air in. they had only been on the road for an hour and a half with another three hours ahead of them. Though the scenery was beautiful and there was plenty more to come the winding roads made it hard to keep the breakfast they had down.
"This is the 'Highway To Hell'." Booth said rolling down his window as well.
"I think we have that song." Tempe said looking through the CD's and came across AC/DC. After a few moments time the rock and roll sound of Highway To Hell blasted from the stereos. They sang together and enjoyed the time they had, it was very often the two friends had time to spend with each other, and oddly enough the vacation had offered the extra time. Three hours later they reached the city of Hana and shopped around. They walked in the black sand and at lunch, as Tempe was in the bathroom, Booth walked into a souvenir shop to buy a T-Shirt. After Tempe got out they got back into the car and headed back down the highway.
"You know that if we just go up another two hours worth of road we can hit a less winding road home." Tempe offered looking at a map.
"I know, but another tow hours and we might not make it home in time." He said coming to a stop at a bridge.
"In time for what?"
"There's a tropical storm coming, and if we're not careful, the water will cause a rock slide, not telling when it will hit or what."
"Great, another four hours of the sickening turns." She said relaxing in her seat for another long ride.
"If you want you can take a nap, I'll wake you when we get there."
"Thanks, but its ok, it's a little unfair to you." She said looking over to him and gave him a smile, one he happily returned.
It was later on that day that they found themselves running from the car and back to the room. The small sprinkles that had started during their first hour of heading back, was now a full blown storm. The thunder was loud and the lightening made them jump, laughing and smiling they made their way back into the room. Soaked in water they collapsed on the sofa and laughed everything away. It had been an eventful day.
Breathing heavily, Tempe looked over to Booth and into his eyes. Something in her wanted to touch him, make sure that everything was real; she wanted to be sure that she wouldn't wake up in the morning and she would be back in DC getting ready for work. Booth looked up from the ground and up to Tempe, something in him wanted to kiss her, for real this time and not just because they were working a case and somebody was watching. He wanted to kiss her like nobody was watching.
He inched closer to her as their laughing stopped, carefully, his hand made its way up to her chin and lifted it up, he went the small distance and stopped, allowing her to pull away or increase the small space between them. He hoped like all hell she would not pull away, but knew that if she did he couldn't blame her and luckily he didn't need a reason. Tempe moved in the small distance and stopped just as their lips were barely touching, even the slightest movement would cause their lips to touch.
Without warning Tempe moved forward as Booth took her lips in a passionate kiss, one she pushed forward with, she opened her mouth as his lips begged for access and felt his tongue meet hers. Without warning his lips dropped from her mouth and went to her neck, licking the spot above her pulse. Slowly her hands busied themselves with unbuttoning his shirt; he soon followed her moves and threw both objects to the side. Feeling the need to push things further, Tempe fell back onto floor, pulling Booth with her, never once allowing his lips to leave her skin. Suddenly, just as Booth started to pull her bra strap down and over her shoulder, the phone rang. They quickly jumped apart from each other like two teenagers getting caught by their parents on prom night.
"Booth." Tempe said into the phone as she put it to her ear. She looked up to Seeley who had gotten up from the on top of her and offered her his hand to help her up. She took it and allowed him to put her shirt back on, he then quickly retreated into the room and soon the sound of running water could be heard.
"Just find out what you can, if the power's out there is obviously nothing you can do."
"They say we may not be able to return to work for a few days. This is the worst blizzard storm yet, and they say it's only the beginning. I'm sorry sweetie."
"It's ok, Ange, by the time it's back up we should be heading home and then we can work on it."
"Alright, well I'll see what else I can do; I just wanted to let you know not to expect any updates soon."
"Alright, thanks Ange, bye."
"bye." Angela said, and then hung up.
Tempe gave a silent groan of disapproval, she was left alone in the living room looking out the balcony to the storm and trying to figure out how she could face Booth after they almost had sex on the floor five minutes prior. After thinking for five minutes the water stopped running and soon Booth emerged from the room.
"Was that Angela?" he asked walking into the living room.
"Yeah that was her, nothing new yet, there was a power outage caused by a blizzard." She explained unable to look him in the eyes.
"Just let her know she has bad timing." He joked giving her a smile, one she retuned gratefully.
"I'll be sure to do just that."
"Well let's see." He said taking her hand and led her to the couch where they sat to watch TV. "It's raining outside and there is not much else to do, what do you say we see if there are some movies on?"
"Sounds great." She said throwing her legs on the couch and rested her head on his chest.
"Sorry about earlier Bones. I just lost it." he said after a moment's silence.
"It's ok, Booth. You weren't alone." they smiled at each other and then turned back to the TV. Outside the flames of the fire gave on final show and burned towards the ocean, before being extinguished by the rain.
Well? Any good? you tell me, pls review.
