Brennan smiled as she walked hand-in-hand to Booth's car. She got in the front seat, and Booth looked at her curiously.
"What about your car Bones?" Brennan shrugged.
"I can come back for it." Booth nodded, and started the car. "So, where do you want to go Booth?" Booth shrugged.
"Anywhere where I don't have to think about Parker." Brennan nodded, and then her face lit up.
"I think I know a place Booth, take a left here…" She finished giving him directions, until they ended up at their destination. Booth looked at the lake and smiled.
"This place is beautiful Bones." Brennan nodded.
"My father told me that there was a secretly hidden lake that seems cut off from the rest of the world, and I found it. I come here to meditate on cases or particularly difficult remains." Booth nodded.
"It's so peaceful." Brennan nodded, and ushered him forward. He followed her tentatively. He watched as she smiled, took off her heels, let her hair down and walked along the sandy beach. She seemed to glow with life in the sun, he was mesmerized.
"Booth, come here!" Brennan shouted to him, and he realized that as he had been staring at her, she had walked away, and was now on the other side of the beach. When he got there, he smiled at what he saw. She was sitting relaxed on the beach; legs tucked under her, shoes a couple of feet away, hair tousled and pushed gently away from her face. She was reclining on a large boulder that was a few yards away from the shore. Booth sat down next to her, and looked out over the lake.
"It's really peaceful and quiet here." Brennan nodded.
"If you sit quietly enough for a while, you can hear the lake's waves rippling over the sand in a consistent and fluid manner." Booth nodded, and listened. He heard the sound of the water, and began to think about his life: Bones admitting her love, he admitting his, Parker's injury, Rebecca's carelessness. He felt a small smile play on his lips. Bones didn't notice, but was watching the sunset.
"Booth, look…" Booth smiled, and gently wrapped his arm around her. She leaned into him and he smiled. He was so happy that they had each other now. Brennan sighed as the sun vanished.
"Want to go home Booth?" Booth smiled.
"Yeah Bones, let's go."
-----------------------------------------------
Booth started the car when Brennan's phone rang.
"Brennan."
"Hey sweetie, I brought your car home, okay?"
"Okay, can I ask why?"
"Well…Hodgins gave me a ride to the hospital because I wanted to see you, but you weren't there. I saw your car there, and took it to your place to see if I could catch you two, but you weren't there either. So, how is he?" Brennan sighed. She had come to expect the forwardness of her friend.
"We're okay." Booth looked at her curiously. Brennan grimaced as Angela squealed.
"Did you say we?"
"Yes I did Angela, but I have to go, can I call you back?"
"No need to call back, just promise me info tomorrow!"
"Okay, promise."
"Bye Bren, have fun!" Brennan smiled.
"Good bye Angela." Booth smiled at Brennan as she hung up the phone.
"Now the weird squealing sound coming form your phone makes sense." Brennan laughed.
"Yeah, I know. She is obsessed. But she also told me that she brought my car to my apartment, so you could just drop me off there, please." Booth nodded, and took the exit ramp. Brennan felt nervous as he pulled up in front of her apartment building. They sat there in awkward silence for a long time.
"Booth, do you want to come inside?" Booth nodded.
"Yeah, I think I do." The two walked together and took the elevator to her apartment. When they reached her door, Booth smiled lazily at her as she fumbled for her keys. When she finally opened the door, they both walked inside.
"Do you want a beer?" Booth nodded, and got up to help, but Brennan shook her head.
"I'll take care of it Booth." Booth smiled.
"Thanks Bones." Brennan chuckled and disappeared into the kitchen. Booth wandered over to Brennan's CD collection. A faint smile formed on his lips as he found the Foreigner CD. He remembered them dancing together, and smiled at the fact that she proudly put that CD in the front of her collection. He took the case out and flashed it at her.
"How about some 'mood music' Bones?" Brennan walked over to him, and handed him his beer, and looked at the CD.
"Foreigner?" Brennan laughed. "Sure Booth!" Booth smirked and put the CD in. Brennan began shaking with laughter, and Booth was doing his bass impression. Then he leaned into her. She felt herself stiffen, but not in fear, as he began whispering the lyrics like promises in her ear.
"Now it's up to you, we can make secret rendezvous. Just me and you, I'll show you lovin like you never knew." Brennan felt him slowly wrap his arm around her and draw her closer to his body. He softly ran his fingers across her face, a tingling wave in its wake. "Hot blooded, every night, hot blooded you look so tight, hot blooded, now you're driving me wild, hot blooded, I'm so hot for you, child…" Booth leaned down and caught her in a passionate kiss. Brennan could feel all her inhibitions melting away. Booth eagerly pulled her closer, and reveled in the feeling of her body against his. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and he grabbed her waist. They kissed passionately, stopping only for a couple shallow breaths before beginning again. Then Booth began running his hands up her body. Brennan pulled away.
"No Booth, we can't." Booth looked at her.
"What do you mean? I thought that-"
"I mean that we can't do this right now. I want to, but you are just reacting to the feeling of loneliness that usually comes with someone close to you getting hurt, and I want our relationship to be more. It always has been professionally, so I want our personal relationship to have that same quality." Booth was stunned at what she had just said. She was right, of course, but she had just admitted that not only did she care about him, she cared enough not to take advantage of him.
"Okay Bones, can I see you tomorrow?" Brennan nodded.
"Of course Booth, but do you have to go now?" Booth smiled shyly.
"Yes, because if I don't, I don't know if I will be able to control myself." Brennan nodded, smiling.
"Okay Booth, see you tomorrow."
"Later Bones." Booth left with a spring in his step and a smile on his face. Considering everything, this had to be one of the best days of his life, even with the Parker stint.
----------------------------------------------------
Brennan sighed, and collapsed on her couch. She didn't know if this is want she wanted, but I was too late to change her mind. She had made her decision, and she had to stick to it. She did care a lot for Booth. She wanted him to be happy, professionally and personally. She knew that an excess of a mad mixture of chemicals in her body was the cause behind her physical reaction, but she couldn't explain her emotional reaction in a similar manner. She drifted off to sleep, having a peaceful sleep for the first time that year.
Booth finally made it to his apartment, and turned on the television. He smiled when he began to reminisce on the evening. He wished he had stayed there longer, but her words still touched him. He was even willing to wait for her because of those words. She cared about him…she loved him. He was willing to do anything to let that stay the way it is. He turned off the television, which he hadn't been paying attention to, and wandered over to his bedroom. He took off his clothes and pulled on some soft cotton pajama pants. He collapsed on his bed and closed his eyes, letting his mind drift away into a deep sleep.
Brennan woke up the next morning to a loud knocking on her door. She got up off her couch, and sighed when she realized she had the same clothes on as last night. She shook her head to wake herself up, and opened the door. Angela came rushing in, and looked around the room frantically.
"Where's Booth?" Brennan rolled her eyes.
"He didn't spend the night Angela." Angela looked confused.
"But on the phone, you were saying that…" Brennan shook her head.
"I didn't want our first time to be a reaction to the isolation that is common in most humans after the injury of someone close to them. I didn't want to be a reaction; I wanted to be with him not because he needs me but because he wants me." Angela looked at Brennan, with pride and tears in her eyes.
"Oh sweetie! You are in love! I am so happy for you!" Brennan shrugged.
"Thank you, but I am kind of nervous about it. I don't feel safe, you know what I mean?" Angela nodded.
"I know exactly what you mean. YOU LOVE HIM!" Brennan bit her lip.
"You think so?"
"I know so." Brennan smiled as there was another knock on the door. Angela squealed.
"Okay, that's my cue to leave, but I will come back." Angela opened the door and winked at Booth.
"Have fun you two! Be safe!" She sauntered off, and Brennan and Booth burst into laughter.
"Hey Booth." Brennan said, once she regained her breath.
"Hey Bones, wanna go see a movie?" Brennan nodded.
"Let me go get ready?" Booth nodded.
"I'll wait out here." Brennan smiled and dashed off into her room. Booth sat down, and read a book that was sitting on her table. Once he stopped understanding the book, as it was on forensic anthropology, he turned on some music and let his mind wander. Brennan came out of the back of her apartment with new clothes on and looking fresh.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." Booth smiled as she took his arm.
"Good, let's go Bones."
