(A/N): Here is the next chapter. I really shouldn't be posting it right after Chapter Three, but since I probably won't be able to update for a while I thought "Eh, what the heck." so enjoy! Here is Chapter Four of When I Look at You. :)
Chapter Four: What Were You Gonna Say?
Things were quiet at Bones' apartment. All that could be heard were the clicking sounds of Bones typing the latest chapter of her book on her laptop. Oh, and Booth's exaggerated sighs of boredom. He was playing with her crutches, and she found him very distracting.
"What ya typin' there, Bones?" he asked.
"I told you, I am writing a new chapter for my book. And would you not play with those? They are not toys, you know."
"No, I meant what's the chapter about?" he asked.
"You know I'm not gonna tell you." she said.
"Eh, it was worth a shot." he said. Booth continued to play with her crutches.
"Booth! I told you to quit playing with those!" she laughed.
"Then why are you laughing?" he asked.
"Honestly, I really don't know. It's like I can never stay serious around you." she said.
He smiled and hopped around on them some more.
"You're distracting me." she said.
"Well, didn't you just say yesterday that I should try walking on them?" he asked innocently.
"Yes, but I didn't mean for it to be taken literally."she said.
"Oh my God, Bones? Not literal about something? Someone call a doctor!" he laughed.
"Oh, shut up." she said, trying to be serious but once again failing.
Booth sighed. He leaned her crutches up against the wall and sat down beside her on the couch.
Bones closed her laptop. "Booth, I've been thinking about something."
"Oh, no. That's dangerous." he said.
Bones smiled. "No, seriously, just listen." she said.
"Okay, shoot." he said.
Bones frowned. "I can't, you won't let me carry a gun." she said.
Booth laughed. He thought she was adorable when she said things like that. "No, Bones. It means, tell me what you need to tell me."
"Oh, right." she said. "Well, ever since you came to the hospital the night I got into the car accident, I have been thinking about what you were going to say before Angela walked in." she said.
This caught Booth completely off guard. He was hoping she had just forgot about it.
"Oh...um..." he started.
"Booth, you can tell me. No matter what you say I won't be angry with you." she said, putting her hand on his.
"Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded.
"Okay...I was gonna tell you that if I lost you I never would have got the chance to tell you that..." he felt her hand tighten on his. "I love you, Bones." he said.
Her eyes widened in suprise. She opened her mouth to say something but Booth's rambling cut her off.
"Hate me if you want, I would hate me too if I were you. I mean this wasn't the right time or the right place or-"
She smiled at how cute he was. She put her hand over his mouth to stop him. "I love you too, Booth. I always have." she said.
At that moment, all of Booth's worry went away and was replaced by pure happiness. He was utterly suprised when her lips met his, but after a second he kissed her back. After about a minute he broke the kiss and wrapped her in a tight hug and sighed. Both of their minds were thinking This must be what heaven feels like. Well, if Bones believed in such a place.
(A/N): This was probably the hardest chapter to write so far for some reason. I hope you all enjoyed, I love writing fanfiction. Please Review! :)
