This took longer than I thought because I totally changed the direction of this chapter…sorry for the wait. I don't own any of the songs used. This is for Emma because she couldn't get to sleep :D
Booth hummed softly to the radio, tapping his hands on the door. At the red light Brennan took her eyes off the road and turned to Booth.
"Can I put in a CD?" She asked.
"Why? Do you have a problem with my favourite radio station?" Booth joked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do." Brennan replied. "There's a mix CD in my handbag, I would appreciate it if you could grab it for me and put in the CD." Booth shrugged his shoulders and twisted around, grabbed Brennan's bag and put it on his lap. He opened the zip and rifled through the contents: some lipstick, a photo of her parents, her purse, a strip of photo-booth photos and finally the mix CD. He put it in the CD player and pressed play.
"It better not be some tribal shit" Booth mumbled under his breath "or I'll change it back onto my station." The unmistakable tune of Mamma Mia blared out of the speakers "next" Booth grumbled- Dancing Queen "next" – Super Trouper "next" – Waterloo "definitely next!" – Ring Ring. "I actually don't mind this song. You really like ABBA don't you?" Brennan smiled.
"Yeah I love them. I met Frida and Bjorn a few months ago. Apparently they love my books." Brennan smiled proudly. She sang along, unaware that Booth was watching her in awe. The song finished and the next started "don't change this one." Booth didn't recognise the tune.
"What song is this?" He asked.
"You'll know it in a minute." Brennan replied simply. The song was at least a minute into the song and he still didn't know what it was. Finally at a minute thirty six he knew it.
"I wanna know what love is" Booth sang "I want you to show me."
"I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me." Brennan smiled at Booth. "We could do duets…we're pretty good"
"Yeah…I know" Booth smiled smugly. He reached out and pressed next.
"Hey I told you not to change it" Brennan whined.
"Well it was already past the chorus…which is the only good part of the song"
"Why, because you only know the words to the chorus?"
"Yeah pretty much." Booth nodded his head in agreement. He cringed when he heard the familiar guitar at the start of the 'Friends' theme song. Man he hated that show…didn't mind the song…but the show! "Why do you have this song?"
"Because I like it" Brennan said slowly.
I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
Cause your there for me to
Booth reached out again and pressed next. Bon Jovi…I'll be there for you.
"Geez Bones…do you like the name of the song or something?"
"No…I just like Bon Jovi" Brennan tapped her hands on the steering wheel "I'll be there for you, these five words I swear to you, when you breathe I wanna be the air for you, I'll be there for you."
"I'd live and I'd die for you, steal the sun from the sky for you, words can't say what a love can do, I'll be there for you." Booth belted out. "Next!" Booth pressed the button. "Ahh it's Angela's dad!" he quickly pressed next again.
Beauty queen of only 18
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else.
"I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door." Booth sang slightly out of tune "I've had you so many times but somehow I want more!"
"I don't mind spending everyday, out on your corner in the pouring rain" Brennan sang quietly.
"Look for the girl with the broken smile, ask her if she wants to stay a while and she will be loved and she will be loved" Booth sang throwing his arms out. Brennan pulled up into a car park.
"We're there" She announced, unbuckling her seatbelt.
"Damn…I was having fun." They both jumped out of the car and went to the back to take out there bags. Booth just closed the boot when his phone began vibrating and his ringtone echoed in the quiet environment. He whipped it out of his pocket, not checking the ID, and answered it.
"Booth."
"Hi dad! Are you and Dr. Bones in Vegas yet?" Parker asked straight out.
"Hey bud! Yeah we're in Vegas…what are you doing up at 3 in the morning?" Booth asked his son.
"I had to check in on you. Is Dr. Bones there I need to speak to her urgently."
"Yeah she's here, I'll grab her for you…but don't be too long, you need to go to bed." Booth handed the phone over to his partner. "Hey Bones, Parker wants to talk to you"
She took the phone out of his hand faster than he could blink.
"Brennan."
"Hi Dr. Bones" Parker greeted her happily.
"Hi Parker how are you?"
"I'm good thankyou. Could you pretty please do something for me?" He asked sweetly.
"It depends what it is." Brennan replied. Parker lowered his voice so Brennan had to strain to hear him.
"Could you please look after my dad…make sure he doesn't get hurt?"
"I can do that Parker."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Pinky swear?"
"Uh…yeah, pinky swear." Brennan repeated, confused .
"Parker what are you doing with my phone?" Brennan heard Rebecca's voice on the background.
"Have to go! Love you Dr. Bone, tell dad I love him" Brennan was about to say something when she heard a long beep. She handed the phone back to Booth.
"Parker had to go…Rebecca was coming…but he said he loved you" Brennan told Booth.
"Oh ok. Let's go check in then get some shut eye." Booth picked up his and Brennan's bags before she could protest and walked towards the entrance.
"Hey Booth!" Brennan called out as she jogged to catch up to him "what's a pinky swear?"
Please leave a review on your way out…btw I'm open to suggestions :D
