Chapter Ten: High School Reunion
(Booth POV)
I can't believe she's dragged me into this! I don't want to go to my High School Reunion! I know we have to solve this case but couldn't we do it by just bringing in the people to question, like we usually do? Why do we have to actually go to the reunion? I didn't like these people very much in High School, and they didn't seem to like me as well, so why would that be any different now?
Well, I guess it doesn't matter since I'm already in my suit, which seems way too dressy for a simple reunion, but she said that it makes me look good, really good. I can't help but smile at that because even though I'm angry at her, she can always find a way to lighten the mood.
I wonder where she is- Whoa...
(Brennan POV)
When I stepped out of the bathroom, his back was turned, so I took the opportunity to give myself another once-over to check that my make up was done right and all, before I turned back to see his brown-eyed gaze on me.
"What?" I asked, self-consciously tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
A large smile spread over his features and her walked towards me, wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing me deeply.
I got so lost in the kiss that I almost forgot about the reunion. That is, before I was snapped out of it by the sound and feel of him unzipping the back of my dress. I pulled back reluctantly and stared into his surprised eyes.
"No, Bones," I said, softly, "We have to go to the reunion and see if the murderer is there."
"But-"
"Later, Bones," I said, sternly. He seemed disappointed, so I kissed him sweetly before pulling back. "I promise we'll get to it later. Okay?"
He nodded and reluctantly let go. Grabbing his hand and my purse, I quickly pulled him out of the room, wishing that I really didn't have to go to this reunion and I could just stay here...with him.
When we got to the school gymnasium, I was awed by the decorations I saw. I had, of course, seen them before, but now all the stars were hanging up and everything was set up so nicely, there was music playing and the lights were dimmed, while other, more colorful lights, flitted across the room.
It was sort of like a prom scene. There were couples dancing, and others talking with glasses of punch, that were probably spiked with some sort of alcohol. It was exactly the way I remembered my prom to be.
I looked at Bones, who had been looking around the room, obviously trying to pick out the most likely suspect.
I squeezed his hand and he looked at me, smiling when he saw my smile.
"Wanna dance, Bones?" I asked him. He looked surprised at first, but then one look at the dance floor and he smiled and nodded. I smiled back once more before pulling him towards the dance floor.
I laughed so hard when I saw how he danced. I'd seen him dance a couple times before but that was usually slow dancing or couples dancing. I hadn't seen him dance like this since we were listening to Foreigner in his living room all those years ago. He was such a dork when he danced, but it was so cute.
After a couple of minutes the music began to slow down, and I took his hands to still him. "Relax, Bones." I said, giggling a little.
He smiled at me and wrapped his arms around me. "Hey, I know this song." He said. "Seal, right?"
I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck, swaying slowly with him and resting my head on his shoulder as Seal's voice drifted over us.
After a couple moments I noticed that his breathing had become a bit irregular, and when I turned to look at him, there was a tear rolling down his cheek.
Worried, I asked what was wrong, and he told me that this was like the Prom he'd never had. He had already told me that he didn't go to his prom, but I never knew how he truly felt about it until just then.
I squeezed him tight and placed a soft kiss on his cheek, receiving a small smile from him. I smiled back and placed my head back on his shoulder.
After a couple more moments his body tensed and he nudged me, causing me to look up. "What is it, Bones?" I asked.
"Those stars. I mean, the points...they're approximately 45 degrees..."
You pretty much know what happens from there, right? Please REVIEW!
