Hehe who cares if we're in school...right?? Anyways here is the next instalment of Committed.
Booth walked up to Brennan's apartment door. He raised his fist to knock, but brought it back down by his side. He checked his watch: 10.43pm – Bones still had 2 minutes. Booth leaned casually against the wall and hummed softly to himself. He jumped when Brennan suddenly opened the door, making him stumble and almost fall onto Brennan. He desperately tried to recover himself and hide the fact that she had scared him...which came to no avail. A small smile spread across Brennan's lips. Booth cleared his throat and pointed to the suitcase at Brennan's side.
"Um, have you got everything?" Booth asked.
"If by everything you mean everything I need to take with me, then yes I have everything." Brennan answered still standing in the doorway.
"Well we have to head off so I'll just grab your bag and take it down to the car while you lock up." Booth walked into the doorway and picked up Brennan's bag, receiving a dirty look from her. "What?"
"Why are you taking my bag?" Brennan asked as if there weren't an obvious answer.
"Because Bones I'm trying to be a gentleman"
"I already know your a gentleman Booth. And personally I don't see how carrying my bag bag makes you a gentleman."
"It's a thing called chivalry. You know like holding a door open for a girl, taking her jacket, carrying her bags." Booth gestured towards the suitcase "walking on the road side of the footpath, that type of stuff."
"Why would you walk on the roadside of the footpath?" Booth gave Brennan his 'come-on-Bones-think-non-scientific' look. "Ohhh" she suddenly realised "so if a car-"
"Veers off the road, I will be the first to be hit, therefore, theoretically, taking most of the impact. Giving you a better chance of walking away unhurt." Booth cut in. Brennan's eyes widened in surprise.
"You know you don't have to do that Booth. I would gladly die for you." Brennan said genuinely.
"Yes I do have to do that because that's what Pops told me to do 'Always look after your girl...she is the only thing you got in the end'" Booth quoted.
"That's really sweet Booth. Nobody besides you has ever done a thing like that for me." Brennan told him honestly.
"That's because chivalry is practically dead. Now Bones, I am going to be a gentleman and take your bag. You are going to appreciate it, even if you just pretend to." Booth told Brennan. She smiled at how quickly he had changed.
"Ok"
"What?"
"I said 'Ok'" Brennan repeated.
"I just won an argument!" Booth yelled.
"Sssh Booth, most people are asleep at this time." Brennan whispered "besides we weren't arguing, we were discussing."
"Fine, I won the discussion"
"Don't we need to get going?" Brennan said trying to distract Booth.
"Now your avoiding the subject because you know I won" Booth said triumphantly.
"No, I'm saying it because if we keep this discussion going, we won't make it to Vegas before dawn" Brennan explained.
"Oh crap!" Booth looked at his watch and realised how late it was. He bent down and grabbed Brennan's bag. "You lock up, I'll meet you down at the car" he said as he basically ran to the door.
Brennan shook her head. "Men"
