Here We Go

Brennan was just finishing putting in her earring when she heard the familiar knock at the door. She opened the door to a very enthusiastic Booth. He was wearing his usual casual outfit, but for some reason today Bones notice how the shirt formed around his well developed torso and arms.

Booth just stood there and stared at Bones as she continued to look at his chest. He has been checked out before, but never like this and he never wanted someone to look at him like that before. "Bones…Bones". He yelled trying to get her attention, but with no luck. "BONES!!!"

She was quickly snapped out of her staring. "Oh…What Booth I am standing right here you don't have to yell." She said as she quickly shut the door behind him. What are you doing stop looking at him like that, she scolded herself as they walked into the kitchen.

"Are you about ready to go?" Booth asked with a little gleam in his eye.

"Yes let me just go get my bag and we can head out."

Booth was standing there looking at a picture of Bones and him. It was at a party, the way they looked at each other you would have thought they were the only people in the room. He started to thinking about how much they had been through over the last five years. All the near death experiences, the late nights just hanging out eating at the diner or Wong Fu's, the heartaches they shared, her finding her brother and father, the two of them with Parker. And it was all of this, all the memories of her that made him finally realize why he never wanted to be with anyone else. It was this that made him realize that even if it took another five years he was going to make her see that love is real and that she loves him just as much as he loves her. He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of the voice he dreamed about, the voice of Bones…of his Bones.

"Booth I said that I'm ready to leave." Brennan just stood there looking at him wondering what he could be thinking about. And secretly hoping it had to do with her. Then shook her head because she knew that was stupid and would never happen, after all there was that line Booth had mention on more than one occasion.

"Oh yeah um ok let's go…Wait before we leave I have a little present for you. You know since it's your first Phillies game and all." Smiling he gave her the hat he had bought for her.

She smiled. It was just a hat, but she couldn't help but get this twing in her stomach. "Thank you Booth that was very kind of you." Putting it on she asked, "So, how do I look?"

Perfect, beautiful, like an angle…stop that Booth."Um you look like you're ready for a baseball game."

"So I'm going to go out on a limb here-"Booth was just about to finish when she spoke.

"Booth what are you talking about there are no trees in here and certainly no limbs to speak of." Brennan said giving him a questioning look.

Man she is just so adorable…"No Bones I'm not literally going out on a limb it's just an expression. What I meant was that I was thinking that you are not going to join me in having a piece of pie." Shaking his head at the look of understanding and then disgust at the mention of pie.

"Booth how many times must we go over this I do NOT like my fruit cooked." She said with an exasperated look.

"You can't blame a guy for asking. Plus you should know that I do not give up easily. One day you will at least try a piece of apple pie." He said with one of his smiles he saved just for her.

"Well today is not that day."Brennan sat back and watched him enjoy his dessert. As she was looking she started to notice some things that she had never notice before. Like the way his lips moved as he chewed each bite carefully, and the way he closed his eyes each time the pie hit is tongue. She realized how sexual watching him eat could be for her. And just when she started to imagine what it might be like if she and Booth ever got the chance he spoke up and broke through her daydream.

"Bones we better here the game is going to be starting soon and don't want to be late." Booth had already stood up and put money down for the check.

"Ok let's go then."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uh Booth we just finished eating how can you already be hungry?" Brennan asked as they made their way to the snack line. They had hardly spoken on the car ride over here but that was fine, lately she found that she enjoyed the comfortable silence the two of them shared.

"Bone you have to have peanuts and a nice cold beer when you come to a baseball game it's like unspoken law of baseball." Booth said. Just he paid. "Now let's go find our seats."

They made their way to their section. Booth led the way holding on to Brennan's hand. She knew it was just so they wouldn't get separated, but there just something in the simple jester that made the twinge feeling in her stomach again. She started to think about Angela would say if she told her about this…Sweetie that twinge is your heart telling you that you love BOOTH…but she thought that love was just a romanticized idea to valid whether you are a couple or not.

Now in their seats Booth took in the surroundings. He had been to plenty of games, but each time it was like a whole experience. He loved the feel of the excitement of the crowd. Booth smiled his charm smile as he saw the look on Bones face as she took in the crowd. Just then she turned and started to ask Booth a question.

"Why do those have no shirts on? And why do they have paint on their torso?" Brennan didn't understand this ritual of professional sports goings.

Laughing Booth just shook his head and said, "Bones it's just what some people do. It's like me wearing this shirt-" he said as he pointed to his Phillies shirt, "And you with that hat. It's just their way of showing how much they love their team. And also it might have to something to do with how many beers that have had today." He finished with a smile.

At that Brennan understood. Just then the first pitch of the game was thrown.
