The Talk

The ride to Brennan's apartment was a silent one. The ride in the elevator to her floor was equally quiet. The first words spoken by either party since the coat incident were from Brennan.

"You want a beer?" she asked as she closed the door behind them

"Yeah, beer would good." Booth said as he made his way over to the couch. It was on his way he noticed a brown envelope sitting on the table. The handwritten looked familiar.

Booth placed the bag containing their Thai takeaway on the table and picked up the envelope.

"Bones?" Booth called, holding the envelope in his hand.

"Yeah Booth?" she answered as she made her way back into the lounge. She looked at him then the envelope in his hand.

"Bones, why would my mum be sending you mail?" Booth enquired. He looked at Brennan his head tilted a little to the side.

"Erm…" Brennan started. "How do you know it's from you mum?"

"I am 35 years old Bones, I think I should know my own mum's handwriting, now what is she sending you? Booth said taking a step closer to Brennan.

"I don't know. I haven't opened it yet." Brennan said she looked at the envelope.

"Well let's open it and find out, eh Bones?" Booth said as he turned the envelope over. Booth looked at Brennan but something just didn't feel right, when suddenly, "You do know. Don't you. That is what she spoke to you about earlier on…" Booth said, his eyes connecting with hers.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Brennan interrupted as she broke his gaze and looked at the wall behind him.

"Oh, don't lie to me Bones, the conversation you had with her in the lab. You said you got them this morning but didn't have a change to look and then you said no he doesn't know. So Bones one last time. What has my mum sent you?" He asked one hand on his hip the other holding the envelope just above her reach.

Brennan tried to snatch the envelope from his hands but he was too quick. He held it up higher.

"Fine," Brennan huffed, "She sent me pictures"

"Pictures?" Booth asked his brow furred. "Pictures of what?" One look at Brennan's face told him all he need to know. "Me?!" He screeched. Brennan bit her lip to stop herself laughing at the pitch of his voice. "What kind of pictures did she send?"

"Well I don't know, you are holding the envelope and I haven't opened it yet." She replied looking at Booth.

"Well, then lets find out" Booth said as he sat on her couch. Brennan came and sat beside him, dinner long forgotten.

Booth opened the envelope and slowly pulled out the pictures. A folded piece of paper fell on the floor. Brennan leaned over Booth legs to retrieve the note.

"BONES" Booth screeched, Brennan head shot up and connected with Booths chin.

"Ahhh" Both partners screamed, Brennan rolled off Booths lap and onto the floor, as Booth stood up. Brennan got up off the floor and turned to look at Booth who was covering his mouth with his hand.

"What did you scream for Booth?" Brennan asked. Booth took his hand away from his mouth and it was then that Brennan saw blood. "Oh Booth im so sorry, I will go get the first aid kit!" Brennan rushed off toward the bathroom as Booth just stood there a bit shocked. Brennan came rushing out of the bathroom with the first aid kit in her hand.

"Booth?" Brennan called out.

"Ish hesr" Booth called. Brennan bit back a giggle as she walked into the kitchen to find Booth standing over her sink with a tissue at his cut lip. Brennan placed the kit on the table as Booth came over and sat down.

"Let's see" she said as she gently tilted his chin up towards her. It was just a small cut to the side of his lip. "This may sting a little" Brennan said she picked up an antiseptic wipe. Brennan's hand came round to cup Booth' face as the other went to his lip.

"Hssss" he winced and closed his eyes.

"Sorry" Brennan whispered. At this Booth opened his eyes and looked directly into her eyes. She dabbed his lip and gave it on final wipe all the while her eyes never losing contact with his. It was only when she put the wipe on the table the she lost eye contact but her hand never left his face.

"There, all done" Brennan said. She reluctantly took her hand away from him face, but was stopped when Booth's hand took hers and placed it back where it had been.

"There is one thing you forgot to do." Booth said with a sly smile on his face and a glint in his eyes.

"And what would that be?" Brennan asked, a smile playing on her lips.

"Kiss it better."

Brennan smiled, and leaned down toward Booth, her eyes on his swollen lips. She brought her lips just inches from his. Booth moved his lips closers to hers but Brennan turned her face and moved her lips to his ear.

"You didn't really think I was going to kiss you with that on your lip, did you?" Brennan whispered into his ears. She moved her hand off his face and stood up straight.

"What?" Booth asked a bit confused. Brennan picked up the first aid kit and started to walk back toward the bathroom, when she turned round and smiled.

"I think you heard me Booth." She said sweetly. Booth caught the glint in her eye as she turned again and continued walking toward the bathroom. It took a few seconds for it to register to Booth what had just happened.

He got up from his chair and raced towards the hallway when he saw her standing there.

"What took you so long?" She asked.

Booth walked towards Brennan. He placed on hand on her cheek and she tilted her face towards him. He let his lips brush hers as he moved towards her ear. "I have no idea what took me so long." He answered as his other hand came round her waist. He pulled back and looked into her eyes.

They both smiled as they move towards each other, meeting in the middle. There lips met ever so gently. It was Booth that sought access first, his tongue parting her lips and exploring. Brennan brought her arms up around his neck as he moved his hand from her face to wrap around her waist. The kiss deepened as Booth backed Brennan against the walk and let his hands explore too. He slipped one up the front of her shirt, his fingers dancing up her skin. Brennan let out a small moan as her fingers got tangled in his hair. His hand came to cup her breast as another moan escaped her. Brennan hands came down to Booths shirt; she was fumbling with the buttons as her phone rang. They broke apart and looked at each other. Booth removed his hand from her shirt as Brennan let go of his.

She walked over towards the phone and picked it up. "Brennan"

"Hi sweetheart, it's Christina." The voice on the other side said.

"Christina, hi, how are you?" Brennan answered looking at Booth. Booth head shot up as he pointed his finger at himself. Brennan nodded her head.

"I'm good thanks. Now tell me did you get a chance to look at the pictures?"

"No, I haven't. Booth is here with me just now, and we were just about to have dinner" Brennan explained.

"Oh right dear, well that's fine. Tell Seeley I said hi and you just call me tomorrow." Christina said.

"Yeah, sure will do. Night." Brennan said as he placed the phone back on the stand.

"Your mum said hi." Brennan laughed.

Booth came as stood in front Brennan. He brought his lips down to hers and kissed the side of her mouth. His tongue licking her lip. He pulled away and looked at her. "You had a little something there" he said he touched it this time with his finger. Brennan kissed his finger.

"Thanks" she said, "Is it still sore?"

"Nope, I think you kissed it all better" Booth replied.

"Good." Brennan smiled.

"Im starving" Booth said as he picked up the takeout bags and walked into the kitchen and Brennan followed him in. He put the containers in the microwave.

"You want wine or another beer?" Brennan asked.

"Beer, please."

Brennan lifted 2 beers from the fridge and handed one to Booth

"So, Bones" Booth started "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"I don't know yet. Why?"

"I was going to see if you wanted to get dinner with me" Booth asked.

"But that's what we are doing right now." Brennan answered.

"No Bones, I mean as a date." Booth said

"Well why can't we just make tonight our first date?" She asked.

"Cause I wanted to do this properly." Booth replied.

"Booth, it's you and I. We don't do things normally." Brennan stated.

It was then that the microwave clicked. "Well dinners ready." Booth got the containers out as Brennan grabbed the beer and they made their way into the lounge.

"So, we're dating now?" Booth asked

"Yeah, I suppose we are." Brennan smiled.

"So that means I can do this" Booth leaned over to kiss Brennan. "Ahh" He winced.

Brennan laughed. "Don't think you will be doing that for another few days."

"Well, I can always do other stuff." Booth said he as he wiggled his eyebrows.
