I know its been a while, I'm so sorry, I haven't seen the X-Files in like 10 years, I was three when it first started showing, but had to stop when I was 6, because I had first grade to attend, pre-k and kindergarten always allowed me to view it, oh well anyways, I've bought the seasons and I'm watching them everyday after school and work. So I'm sorry it's been a while, plus my little sis gets dib's on the computer when I'm not on, and she can write up a storm. She's also an author on fanfic and when she's gone that's it. Ok well this is short and I'm sorry I'll try to update more and sooner next time, thank you all for being oh so patient. MUCH LOVE!
It was later on that same day that an awkward silence filled the quiet room as the only sounds that could be heard were the lowered TV and the rain pounding against the balcony window. Tempe lay comfortably in Booth's arms watching a TV show he called 'The X-Files'. She hadn't ever heard of the show, but the second the names of the two agents working together were known, she was reminded of the day he had told her they were like Mulder and Scully. Though, in the current episode, they were still just partners and not dating yet, it had taken Booth at least an hour to explain to Tempe how he had meant they were only partners and helped each other out in cases. She had immediately jumped to asking questions after viewing a previous episode. However after their little incident earlier upon arriving back from Hana had made his excuse weak and had them both wondering if they had fallen into the same based relationship the two fictional characters had.
"Booth? Are you hungry?" Tempe asked after a few moments silence.
"A little." He said moving to sit up as she got up from his side. "What do you say to some Mahi-Mahi and poi?"
"Um, sure why not, sounds interesting." She said sitting up to get ready.
"Alright, just grab your purse and we'll go get it, I saw this little restaurant on the way in from the airport and I hear it's good."
"Where did you hear that from?" she asked as they walked out of the room and to their car.
"This local who worked at the place we had breakfast at." He explained as they got into the car and headed towards the main area of town.
After arriving home, carrying a carton of fish and the Hawaiian sauce, they made their way over to the table to set things up. As they ate they spoke of random things, how the rain was dieing down and once it had stopped how they would go to an outdoor shopping mall and how they would go to the beach, they meant to make the next five days worth something. Following dinner, the two sat on the balcony eating pineapple and watching the sun play different colors on the cloudy sky as it set beyond the horizon.
"Want to go to the beach?" Booth asked looking across the way to the empty area. Most people were safely in their homes hoping for the storm to die out; even the local surfers had called it a night.
"Why not?" she asked getting up from her chair to walk into their bedroom where she changed into her swimsuit. Once done, Booth changed as well and they soon made their way down to the ocean.
Stepping on the wet sand, Tempe wiggled her toes as a child would, as Booth set up a blanket for them to sit on. Dressed in pants and jackets, covered from the growing cold, they sat on the blanket and watched the sun set. Even as it had grown dark, they refused to leave. All they did was sit and listen to each other speaking; if a silence filled them it was broken by the sound of the crashing waves not, but a few feet in front of them. After a couple of hours had passed, Booth looked to his side to see Tempe fast asleep, carefully managing to gather their things, he picked her up and carried her back to their room, where he placed her on the bed to sleep comfortably. Not wishing to disturb her Booth fell asleep on the couch in the living room, listening to the weather on the following day.
"BOOTH!" the name was yelled over the stillness of the hotel room. Booth immediately sat up from his spot on the couch to rush over to the sound of the voice. "BOOTH!"
"What?" he asked scanning the room to see Tempe coming out of the bathroom, he face looking flushed, but complete horror in her eyes.
"Jeeze!" she said rushing over to him to embrace him in a hug. "You scared me."
"I was on the couch." He explained as she pulled away.
"I woke up and you were gone." She said plainly, hoping he would drop the conversation, even though she had acted as if he had been kidnapped.
"You've woken up plenty of times to me not being there. Are you ok?" he asked walking over to her.
"I'm fine, trust me." she mumbled trying to make the bed.
"Ok I'll get the coffee started." He said then walked out.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Tempe began to think. She had acted irrational, it was only a dream, well a nightmare really and though she hadn't had many she still had some, after all she was a human being. So why freak when he wasn't there? She pondered this until she ended up thinking the last time she had a nightmare, she had been back in DC she had had a horrible nightmare, and like every other time she reached over for her pillow, only to find Booth instead. It explained why he was holding her close the first and second night the slept in the same bed, she had had a nightmare and reached for him in the dark, he had acted only instinctively and wrapped his arms around her, providing the feel of protection. But now as she reached for him and found nothing, not even his pillow she had felt abandoned and left alone, like her parents and brother had left her.
"Coffee's ready." Booth said pulling her away from her thoughts and snapping her back into reality.
"Thanks Seeley." She mumbled heading towards the balcony, he followed behind her.
"So what are you up for today? The storm should be gone by one or two."
"I say we go to the little factory by the sugar canes." She offered.
"You mean the sugar museum? Alright, we'll go when the rain dies down, but until then what are you up for?" Tempe looked over to Booth and gave him a small smile.
After coffee and breakfast and the local McDonalds they came back home to watch a few more movies, though all the time spent watching TV in those few days had over exceeded Tempe's lifetime of TV, she still found it comforting to be in the arms of one of her best friends, however, something in her told her everything had changed, that somewhere along the line her best friend was more.
As Booth held Tempe to his side he felt happier than he ever had in his life, not counting his times with Parker. He looked down at her and her smile melted him away, unknowingly he leaned in and placed a small kiss on her forehead and gave her a gentle squeeze of the shoulder, however, Tempe leaned up, pulled his face to hers and kissed him deeply. Suddenly they were wrapped in the others embrace on the couch, Booth on his back and Tempe above him, it seemed their activities from the previous day would be finished, both of them hoping the phone wouldn't go off.
