Yes, Bones this is love!
End of chapter four: Old fears, New time
Hearing the doors open and turning around Sully watched a blond haired lady make her way towards Booth as he came to rejoin them. He couldn't hear the words, but the look of surprise on his face told a lot. Things had changed with the man Sully use to call his friend and this woman who ever she was had a lot to do with whatever change it was.
"Hannah, are you alright?" Booth hadn't heard from her since the day she walked out his door over a year ago.
"I wanted to see if we could start again. That is if you and Temperance aren't." She didn't finish her sentences as Booth noticed Bones walking out the door.
Not stopping to think of the woman in front of him, only the one leaving he joined the woman he loves outside the diner.
Chapter five: Hopes and fears
"Bones are you alight?" Booth was now standing in front of her looking into her torn eyes.
"I'm just tired can you please take me home?" Booth didn't know for sure but he was willing to bet that she had heard Hannah's words to him. He had long ago come to realized that Bones was his heart. Now he just had to let her know that fact.
"Okay. Let me pay then we will be on our way."
"Bren, are you okay?" Angela asked as she joined the two before Booth could return inside.
"We're both tired. Angela were going to head home. Please let everyone know that We're sorry for causing a problem." Bones told her friend as she started to slowly walk towards Booths SUV.
"Here Angela, this should cover our part. If it doesn't let me know. Thanks." Booth handed her some money then followed the woman he loved to the awaiting SUV.
The ride to her apartment was made in uncomfortable silence. They were both lost in their thoughts. Booth wasn't sure what to do. He knew that she needed space that was apparent by the way she was deep in thought, but he also needed to show her that he loved her and no one else.
"Booth, it's been a lovely long few days. I just want to take a bath then sleep. I will see you in the lab tomorrow?" She kissed his check then before he could stop her exited and headed towards her apartment building.
"Night my love." Booth whispered as his eyes followed her into her building. He sat there until her lights came on then left.
Bones had just gotten out of her tub when her phone started to ring. She quickly looked to see who it was. Then seeing Sully's name on her screen she let it ring. He called for the next ten minutes before she turned her phone off and headed to bed. She knew Booth was hurt by her silence but she had to come to terms with what she had seen Hannah say.
'Can I let him go now? Does he want to go back to her? Am I holding him back from his true love?' Bones mind kept repeating these questions over and over. She didn't worry with Sully she knew where her heart was it wasn't with him. If she was honest it never really was. He might have made a good run for it at one time, but for years its been safely tucked inside another man's hand.
Booth laid in bed looking at his ceiling so much has happened in the last few days. Their one year anniversary couldn't have gone better. Not only was that weekend filled with his dreams coming true but her's as well.
'Does she want Sully back? Am I in her way to be loved? Does she know how much I truly love her?' His mind kept repeating the same questions over and over not coming up with any real answers. He thought she was happy with him. That she saw that she held his world in her hand. Now he wasn't sure of himself. She was the only woman that he couldn't live without the seven months away from her had shown him that. He had found Hannah and let things get out of hand. When they got home things changed. He had seen the hurt in Bones eyes when she was there and the fear that was still there from time to time when Hannah's name was heard.
'Is she doubting her place in my life?' Booth never questioned his feelings for Hannah. He knew she was special but didn't hold a candle to his love for Bones. That's why when she called him several times he cut his phone off knowing that if any one truly needed him they could get a hold of him though Bones.
As the night went on neither partner knew what was going on with the other. Booth's body found sleep only a few hours before his alarm. While Bones didn't find that luxury. It was still a few hours until the normal work day began but Bones was wide awake. Knowing that she would be better off at the lab then laying in bed she got ready and headed in for a long day.
"Tempe, can we talk?" Sully asked from in front of her. Looking at the clock on the wall she noticed that three hours had passed since she had made her way to Limbo.
"What is it I can help you with Sully?" She tried to sound friendly, but the bitterness was still hanging from her words.
"I wanted to ask you to have a drink with me tonight." He had been told that Booth and Bones were together, but seeing the blond last night Sully thought he had a chance.
"Sully, I am busy tonight. Maybe some other night." Turning she was about to pick up the box beside her when his hand found her arm.
"Let go of me." This time the bitterness was not hidden in her voice.
"I can see you're not happy. I just want to help you." That was the last straw with her anger.
"I am happy Sully! Booth cares about me a lot. He may not always show it, but I am special to him." She turned to face him as his laughter filled the large area.
"Happy, Tempe you're upset last night and you're still upset today. If your so special to Booth why is he even talking to that ex of his? Hmmm why isn't he here with you now?" He was trying to use logic on her and that upset her more.
"I don't have to tell you anything Sully. You left not Booth. Booth cares for me. Hannah just popped up last night. He hasn't talked to her in months."
"Are you sure that they haven't been talking. She did ask to start over with him."
"How do you know that?" Bones voice was louder than normal but still had a hard edge to it.
"She told me after you both left. Your friends said hello to her, then left a little bit later. Once it was just her and I she told me that she wanted to try with him again. She's a nice lady who loves Booth. You should let them be happy. I know you want that for him." It was true she did want Booth to be happy, but she had hoped that it would be with her.
"You're right I do want him to be happy." Sully's face broke out in a smile.
"Okay then why not come out with me tonight then. Forget about Booth and Hannah. Let them move on and we'll find the love that we let slip away." That was all he got said before a slap sound was clearly heard outside the room.
"What was that for?" Sully asked running his hand over the mark he knew she had left.
"Booth has every right to be happy if he wants to be with Hannah instead of me he can go. But I won't push him away by doing anything with you or anyone else." She had learned that lesson the hard way over the years.
"So it's Booth or you are alone for the rest of your life?"
"Yes, Sully. Booth is the man I love."
"But does he love you?" Sully turned and left the room not seeing a fuming Booth until a fist hit him hard on his other check.
"Sully, out of respect for Bones I will let you walk away. Don't come back." The words were spoken with the same tone as the words themselves held. Sully knew when he wasn't needed and seeing how Temperance wasn't going to budge and Booth wasn't happy with him he didn't push his luck.
"Bones, He's wrong."
"Is he?" The question took him back.
"I love you. Only you."
"Booth, I know that you feel that way right now. It was only a year ago that what you had with Hannah was as serious as a heart attack. If you want to be with her…." She didn't get any father in her talk as his lips parted hers.
The feel of his lips on hers and his body pressing her back comforted her. She let him have his way. For the first time in months she felt like she was coming apart and here was the glue to hold her together. The moment her back found the wall his hands found the underside of her breast. His lips never left her body but somehow found their way to the top of her left breast before her mind caught up to where they were and what was going on.
"Booth OH BOOOOth." He slowed down but didn't stop his kiss.
"Yes, Bones," each word was followed by a loving kiss placed on her body.
"Am I holding you back?" Her words made his lips pause in their decedent down to her nipple.
"The only thing you're holding me back from is showing the woman I love how much I love her." With his words hanging in the air his lips grabbed on to her nipple and didn't let go. Her body responded like he wanted it to. With her legs wrapping themselves around him as she rubbed against him. The kisses and touches were soon not enough for them. With each rub of her lower body Booth's lower body became harder to keep way from what it was seeking.
With one final suck at her ample breast his hands and mouth slowly made their way down her body. Her legs came unwrapped as he slide down to the floor and brought one leg over his shoulder. They both thought of where they were until his lips found what he was looking for then nothing else mattered. The stars that had filled the night sky were now filling her eyes and when his tongue found her aching bundle of nerves they started shooting across her closed lids.
Reaching down and slowly pulling his mouth once again to hers. She felt more then saw his hardness that was for her alone. Then with a smile on her face she slowly pushed him back away from her body. She had known the ways that he loved to make love to her over the last few months, however they had yet to have him in control from behind her. That was about to change.
She slowly lowered the zipper on his pants as she turned around. He didn't need anything more than that to know what she was wanting. He slowly entered her and took his time to make sure she was enjoying his movements as much as he was. When his body couldn't hold back anymore then hers could he leaned into her whispering how close he was. Her response was only to push back harder into his body and then they both had the stars shooting as they came undone.
"Booth , I love you."
"I love you to Bones. Only you!"
"You are the only one I want Bones. It's only you. Hannah asked me last night if we could try again. I called her this morning and told her that she needed to move on. That I was in love with you and only you."
They both knew that making love didn't fix the doubt and worry in their minds, but it helped.
