Thanks for the reviews and alerts, as long as you guys want advents, there'll be some;)
This one was suggested by my beta kaloblack and she worked with me until we had this done. Hope you like it.
It's the night of the premiere of the film version of her latest book…
Disclaimer: Bones belongs to Fox.
Brennan paced in her hotel room in Hollywood; she was wearing a formal blue dress that brought her eyes out. It was the night of the premiere for the movie based on her latest book. Brennan asked Angela to accompany her, but she's been waiting for the artist for a while. Brennan had to fly in for an autograph signing the previous day; Angela insisted she'd fly in on the day of the premiere, but she was still nowhere to be seen.
"Angela, where are you?" Brennan had called Angela several times, but the artist hadn't answered.
Angela could hear the annoyance in the anthropologist's voice. Brennan didn't want to go to the premiere in the first place, but the artist new that once she told Brennan that she wasn't going, Brennan would definitely not go. But what the anthropologist didn't know was that Angela had a plan. "I'm sorry, sweetie. Hodgins has this wonderful romantic dinner set up. He didn't know I was accompanying you to the premiere. I'm sorry, but I can't bail out on him." Hodgins shot Angela a 'thanks a lot' glare. The bug man was thrown the blame and he didn't want to be the target of Brennan's wrath for being left alone for the premiere. He 'no,no-ed' Angela, but the artist ignored him. She mouthed 'I'll make it up to you' to him.
Brennan sighed, the only reason she was showing up to the premiere was because Angela was going with her. Brennan couldn't just cancel; she had already assured her agent she was going to be there. "I declare the use of the best friend card."
"Sorry, sweetie. You used yours when we went to the mall the other day." Angela laughed as Brennan accepted defeat. She would have to go to the premiere by herself. Brennan had used the best friend card at the mall because the artist had dragged her through all the stores in the mall and Brennan was not up for any more stores across the city. Brennan said 'fine' and Angela wished her a good time at the premiere.
Brennan was making her way out of her room to head over to the premiere. She bumped into Booth when she opened the door. "What are you doing here, Booth?" Brennan noted he was had a small suit case and was carrying a tux.
"Angela gave me a call. She said Hodgins planned a romantic 'outing' for them and that since she couldn't come, she asked if I could accompany you to the premiere and gave me a ticket to fly out here." Booth gave her his charm smile. Brennan waited a few minutes so Booth could shower and get ready. He was ready in record time.
He placed his hand in the small of her back as they headed out of the room. Brennan noted he looked handsomer than usual.
"Isn't this your weekend with Parker?" Brennan asked, she would have invited Booth to the premiere, but she knew he had Parker for the weekend.
"Yeah, but he's on a three day trip with his class." He smiled at her as they waited for the elevator to arrive. "But I had lunch with him before I drove him and we'll be together all of Sunday afternoon." Booth was catching a flight at three in the morning on Sunday in order to be back in time.
B&B
As Booth and Brennan walked down the red carpet, several reporters shot questions of whether the partners were dating. The two heard the 'Are you two dating?' question every step of the way.
The movie was good, but Booth honestly preferred the book. Brennan spent a good portion of the movie stating that they had something wrong or that that scene didn't go there at all. Booth chuckled every time she tugged at his arm to tell him something that was erroneous in the film.
"I preferred the book." Booth told Brennan with his trademark charm smile as they exited the movie. He was with Bones on the whole 'that doesn't go there' in the movie version of her book.
B&B
The after party was quite good, Booth noted. The stars from the film were there and a few other famous people. Booth was having a good time; Brennan on the other hand was ready to leave. She was pulled to the side by various people and she really wanted to leave.
Chris Evans, the actor who played Andy Lister on the big screen, had eyed Brennan throughout the whole event. He liked what he saw, and being a handsome rising star, he felt that Brennan would have no chance to resist him. He downed the rest of his drink and walked towards Brennan, taking the opportunity that she was finally alone.
Brennan was waiting for Booth to bring her a drink. After all the talk, she needed a drink. Her eyes fixed on her handsome partner as he made his way over to her, with a drink in each hand. Chris stepped in front of Brennan, blocking her view of Booth. He introduced himself and Brennan shook his hand, hoping he'd go away. No such luck. The man started flirting with her, not taking her blunt hints that she wasn't interested.
Booth halted his steps when he saw the man talking to Brennan. As much as Booth wanted to walk over there and shoo the man, he didn't do it. He needed to move on and he needed to stop interfering in her love life. He had shooed away many losers, and he wasn't going to do it anymore.
Brennan had excused herself several times, but the actor wouldn't budge. He was sure he could get a little something, something with the good doctor and wasn't going to give up that easily. Brennan kept eyeing Booth, wondering why he hadn't approached. Booth was always swatting away, metaphorically speaking, the guys that approached her; even the ones she was interested in.
Mary, Brennan's agent, noted the anthropologist was trying to get away from the actor. Mary decided to intervene, knowing that the anthropologist was about to burst and that she had killer martial arts skills. The agent also knew that Chris was a horn dog and wasn't used to being turned down. Mary smiled as she walked over to the two; who could blame the good doctor for not having eyes for anyone else when she had such a hottie for a partner?
Brennan stalked out of the event once she was freed of the obnoxious actor. Booth quickly followed, wondering if something had happened.
"Bones, wait up!" Booth jogged to catch up to her. He could see she was furious, but he didn't know why. Brennan got in a cab and left; not looking back at him. "What happened?" He asked himself as he hailed another cab.
B&B
Brennan threw her purse the bed before sitting down to remove her heels.
Booth arrived at the hotel right after her. He got there as the cab was pulling away and he wasted valuable seconds as he paid the driver. He waited for the elevator, but he was too impatient to wait and decided to run up the stairs.
Booth was breathing hard by the time he reached the hotel room. He used the key he was given at the front desk when he arrived earlier, Angela had thought of everything. Brennan had slipped her dress off, leaving her in a black strapless bra and matching panties.
"What happened? Why did you just leave like that?" Booth stood in front of her.
"Why didn't you approach?" She asked, getting in his face.
"You were talking with the actor guy." Booth said, wondering why she was pissed off for him not interrupting when she was being hit on. She hated when he did that.
"No, he was talking to me." She said through clench teeth. "You don't care about me anymore." She accused, knowing it was irrational to blame him.
"How can you say I don't care about you?" Booth said, his eyes not leaving hers. "It kills me to see you with other men." Especially the ones that don't deserve you. You deserve better than those losers. His eyes still didn't leave hers. "I thought that's what you wanted; me not interfering in your love life. You hate it when I interrupt when some loser wants to ask you out." She could see the hurt in his eyes. "I'm trying to move on; it's so hard. But I'll step to the side if you're happy." He confessed, his eyes closing and his forehead resting on hers.
Booth was surprised when he felt her arms wrap around him. He opened his eyes and was met with her blue ones. She placed a kiss on his cheek; a kiss that said so much. It said 'I know you care' and 'I'm sorry' all at the same time. Brennan apologized for acting so selfish; she knew it was irrational to be mad at him. She explained how confusing it was that he didn't swat the guy away; she had gotten used to that in their partnership years. Brennan could see in his eyes the truth: his feelings for her. He was willing to stand on the side if she was going to be happy. Brennan saw how much that hurt him and she can't be happy knowing he's hurt; the truth is, she can't be happy without him.
She remembered a conversation she had with Ken Nakamura. If she was willing to die for Booth, she was willing to risk her happiness for him. But she knew she wouldn't be risking her happiness, he was her happiness.
She showed him with words and kisses what was going through her mind. Brennan stopped running away from them, and Booth felt like he was dreaming. He closed his eyes, enjoying the moment because he thought he was going to wake up soon.
"Open your eyes. This is happening." When Booth opened his eyes he saw that it was real, their new them was real.
They kissed and touched, enjoying the new side of their relationship. Years of waiting and denying had them devouring each other in kisses and touches. His hands roamed her back, both their bodies aching with need.
"There's no way I'm getting the deposit back on that tux." Booth chuckled as she ripped his shirt open after removing the jacket of his tux. The buttons flew and he helped her toss the ruined shirt to the side. They resumed their kissing, her hands mapping his muscular chest.
They fell back on the bed, not breaking their kiss. Booth's lips left hers, kissing down her neck. "I can feel everything shaking and we're just getting started." Booth whispered in her ear, laughing softly.
"No, Booth." His head snapped back to look at her. Was she backing out now? "That's an earthquake." The bed and the other furniture in the room continued to shake for a few seconds before coming to a stop.
The partners and the other guests staying at the hotel had to follow the evacuation procedures in case of an earthquake. They had to wait outside for a while. Luckily the earthquake wasn't a big one and they were cleared to go back inside. But by the time the partners returned to the room, it was time to head to the airport. If Booth missed the flight, he wouldn't be home in time to pick up Parker after his field trip.
B&B
The partners were glad that their flight wasn't held back because of the earthquake. As they sat on their seats on the plane, Booth started laughing and Brennan eyed him.
"What's so funny, Booth?" A smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.
"Us getting together was groundbreaking." They both laughed hard at his joke. A stewardess passed by and eyed the partners suspiciously before continuing her path. Neither partner noticed, enveloped in each other and ignoring the outside world.
The flight back to DC was peaceful and they were glad to return to their city. There would be more time to properly enjoy their first time when they were in the comfort of one of their apartments.
So, for those of you who didn't catch it, Chris Evans is the actor who plays the human torch (fantastic 4,lol)….it was just so you guys got a feel of what the actor looked like,lol.
Reviews are great:)
