HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE! :-E

Chapter 5

"And that's how my mother died."

"Wow. Did they ever find the llama?"

"No." he whispered bitterly into the night. "No…they never did."

We were sitting on the rooftop of Booth's apartment. We spent the entire day watching old movies and just being lazy. It felt so invigorating to not have to concentrate on work for once in my 118 years of living! Now we were on the rooftop talking about secrets we'd never told anyone before. All of the time we were sharing together reminding me of the time a serial killer kidnapped and locked us in a submarine for a week.(we are both now TERRIFIED of fishes)

"You have a-"

"What, do I still have pizza on my face?"

"No, it's.." He lightly brushed his thumb under my eye "an eyelash."

We stared at each other for what seemed like an hour.

"You have to make a wish." He said smirking at me.

"Don't be ridiculous." (humans sometimes…..AM I RIGHT?)

"Come on, Bones. Please? For me?" he flashed his charm smile at me and I was a goner.

"What'd you wish for?"

"….Something I can't have." I sighed.

"Don't we all?"

This piqued my interest.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Well…" he said contemplatively.

"There's this girl from work."

I felt my still vampire heart tighten. From work? Another FBI agent?

"And she's really something. She's smart, a genius even. I'm tellin' you, she's got it all Bones. Brains and beauty. She's not afraid to put others, heck, even me in their place. And she's got these eyes!" He chuckled "Just…wow. Her eyes-"

I stopped him before he could continue. I had to get out of here before I completely broke down.

"That's great Booth. I should really get going though. Margaret's probably waiting up for me. Thank you for today, really." I said getting ready to run down the stairs, my tears glistening in my eyes.

"Temperance, wait!"

I stopped. He never used my first name unless it was serious. Composing my face, I turned around.

"I didn't want to tell you like this, but… It's you. It's always been you."

Not wanting him to see me like this I quickly rotated clockwise to the east(after living this long with nothing to do, you learn a few things) salty blue tears from the mini oceans in my eyes began to pour out like a faucet. It had been so long since I had last cried, that blood soaked day, I had once thought my tears had dried up with my unbeating heart, my bloodless veins, and the empty abyss that was once my soul.I never thought that I would ever fall in love with anyone in my life. When I was human it had been a lifelong dream of mine, a dream I once thought to have been crushed. After all, how can one love without a heart? I am damned, I should not be allowed feel such a wonderful, exhilarating emotion.

Booth's POV

"Baby what's the matter?" I reached out with a warm, gentle hand, hesitant to touch her for I was afraid that the reason she was crying would be me.

Did she not love me back? But she had been sending me all those signs?! Last week when we watched Toy Story 3 together we snuggled!

"Look it's okay, I just wanted you to know how I really felt about you," I made my hands into fists and squeezed as hard as I could, as though it was the only thing that kept my heart from breaking into a thousand tiny pieces and scattering into the wind before me.

Brennan's POV

I turn counterclockwise to the west, and came face to face with him. Putting my arms around his neck, I pulled him in for a long passionate kiss that burned with the passion of a hundred fires deep within the earth's core. At first he didn't respond and I thought that maybe he didn't really love me, but eventually he eased into the kiss like chocolate melting in my mouth and slipped his gentle loving hands around my slim, hourglass waist.

Remembering that humans needed to breathe, I broke the kiss.

We stared at each other for what felt like a thousands years.

He smiled that charm smile once again. (I swear, that charm smile will get me pregnant one day..that is, if I could still bear children.)

"So what does this mean?" I asked nervously "I mean…for us."

"It means that I'm going to love you for the next 30, 40, or 50 years." He said with a teasing smile.

"And after that?"

"Well, we'll just have to see if you're sick of me by then."

"Never." I whispered pulling him in for another kiss.

He brushed his thumb across my cheek, wiping my tears.

"Please stop crying, baby. I hate seeing you cry."

"I'm sorry it's just that.." I trailed off.

"What is it?"

"A wise man once told me.. Everything happens eventually. And I guess eventually happened." I said giving him a tearful smile.

He smiled a megawatt smile, and pulled me in for another kiss.
