The Princess and the Pear
"So he killed her cause he loved her so much?"
"The whole age of chivalry was irrational. Knights, maidens, thank goodness we've moved through the reformation and the enlightenment to the age of reason. Do, do you see what I mean?"
"Not at all. I gotta tell you man, I think they had a pretty good idea with the whole chivalry thing you know. Open car doors, kill dragons, small hearts.'
"You still on vicodin?"
"Yeah, little."
"Okay, what Im trying to show you is that your doctor is wrong, you've been misdiagnosed."
"Give me that, what?"
"Just a slight misalignment, Id be happy to fix it for you,"
"No, no, no, last time you did that I almost ended up in a wheelchair."
"Don't you trust me?"
"Let's not make it about trust."
"Well it's a fact, a fact is not what I make of it, it's just a fact, are you ready?" He groaned while getting up painfully.
"No, definitely not ready now, thanks."
She put her arms around him to get ready to fix his back when there was a knock.
"It's open!" Booth called.
She did the procedure and as she did, Agent Perotta walked in.
"Oh, I…I didn't, I thought you said the door was open."
"It is open. Im done, Im just leaving," she said arms still wrapped around him.
"Oh no, no, no, I just I um…brought some chilli I made but, you know what Ill just leave that uh there and you can…are you alright?"
"He's fine now."
"I gotta tell you, Im afraid to move."
"He's fine. Please, you stay."
"No you, you stay."
"Are you sure? You can stay and join us."
"No…you two can…bye." She walked out.
He moved his back and said,
"Wow, thanks." He turned around to find her still there, close proximity. They stared for a few seconds and then they both leaned in. The kiss deepened; his arms around her waist tugging her closer and hers around him on his neck. That's when they heard someone clear their throat. They pulled apart and their stood Perotta.
"Sorry, I…forgot my…jacket."
He nodded and smiled and Brennan released him.
"Ill just…go."
"Me too. I can't stay." She walked by him and whispered,
"I expect to finish that soon." He inhaled deeply and his smile widened.
"Great now nobody's staying? Hello?"
