Dr. Temperance Brennan sat at her desk. She yawned and looked at her clock. 10:05 on a Thursday night She didn't mind being here this late. In fact she was always here way after everyone had gone. She would have to leave soon though, for starting tomorrow she wasn't supposed to be here for 3 days. The whole weekend. At first she hadn't been to happy about it but then realized she could use a break. She had just finished a case about and 18 year old girl who was murdered.
She glanced again at her computer. She had been working on a chapter for her book. It wasn't going so well. She saved what she had written and shut down her computer. She decided to go home. Besides tomorrow she wasn't supposed to be here. Dr. Goodman had also probably called Booth telling him that he had told her to take a vacation. She decided to just lay on her couch for a few minutes, so she stood up from her desk and walked over to lay down on her couch. Being as tired as she was she soon fell fast asleep.
Seeley Booth sat on his couch. He had been watching TV but his thoughts were on something else. He was thinking of the phone call he had had earlier today. He had answered the phone and said:
'Booth'
'Agent Booth'
'Yes?'
'This is Dr. Goodman. I'm sorry to bother you but I was just calling to let you know that I told Dr. Brennan that she was to take the weekend off'
'Sorry sir but how does that concern me?' he had asked.
'Well I was just hoping you could make sure she stayed out of the office.' Dr. Goodman had said.
'Oh I see. I think I'd be able to do that sir.'
'Thank you Agent Booth'
'No problem Dr.'
'Good-bye'
'Bye'
He now wondered what he was going to do. He had been planning on taking a trip up to his father's cabin in PA for a few days. He could take her with him. That is if he could get her to go. "Yes", he thought. That's what he was going to do. "Now how to get her to go along", he thought to himself. He stood up and walked into his bedroom to put something more casual on. He decided on a pair of jeans and a white shirt. He put on his brown leather jacket, grabbed his car keys and was out the door of his apartment and to his car.
He started it up and headed it towards the Jeffersonian. He knew she would be there. She was always there. He arrived there about 10 minutes later. Walking in and showing the guard his ID. He walked towards her office. Noticing the lights were dimmed he knocked on the door. When no one answered he turned the knob and pushed the door open. He flicked on the lights and found a sleeping Brennan on the couch. She could be so cute and innocent at times and he loved that about her. "Bones" he said in a soft voice. That not waking her he tried again in a louder voice "Bones!"
Temperance awoke to an all to familiar voice. "Booth?" she said sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "What are you doing here?" she asked. She rubbed her eyes once more to get the effects of sleep away. She looked at the clock. It was now 11:00.
"I just came by to well…" he said. "Look Goodman called me earlier and said I was to make sure that you took the weekend off" he said. He then flashed her a Booth smile, his 'charm' smile as she called it. It always worked on her.
I knew Goodman would do this she thought to herself. She looked again at Booth. He was no giving her his charm smile again. Secretly every time he did her stomach did a little flip-flop. "Booth what did I tell you about using that smile on me? And I don't need you monitoring my weekend" she said glaring at him.
"Well you better at least take the break or Goodman will have my head" he said. Secretly he was also thinking, and I really want you to come with me! He was once again giving her that smile. Right now he was thankful that it worked.
She gave him a glare. Why did he always have to use that smile on her? "Fine" she said. Soon enough he was smiling like a child. "What?" she asked curiously.
"Nothing" he said. Yes now if I can just get her to come with me everything will be perfect, he thought, I know she'd love it. She had grabbed her hand bag and walked out the door. She turned and motioned for him to come so he flicked off the lights and walked out. She locked the door and they walked out towards the entrance.
He followed close behind, placing his hand on the small of her back. When she didn't object he smiled. "besides I already have the whole weekend planned out." Now he didn't know what she would say but he knew she wouldn't be happy.
"Booth I'm not going anywhere with you" she said angrily. He was really starting to annoy her.
"Please"
"No"
"But you'll love it"
"No"
"Why?"
"Because"
"Bones, that is not an answer"
"Yes it is"
"No it's not"
She sighed knowing she wasn't going to get her way about this. "Fine, I'll go with you Booth. But where are you taking me anyway?" she asked. Maybe this weekend wouldn't be so bad after all.
He smiled as they walked outside. "We're going to my father's cabin in Pennsylvania" he said as he walked towards his black SUV. He turned to face her again and said "I'll pick you up at 10:30 tomorrow morning? Oh and don't forget to bring your bathing suit." Getting a nod he hopped into the SUV and drove out of the parking lot onto the road.
He could be so annoying sometimes she thought to herself. She got into her car too, and started to drive away from her work. She wasn't really upset. In fact a weekend with Booth could be fun. Who knows what Angela would think about this though.
Soon she was in the parking lot of her apartment. She stepped out of the vehicle and shut the door. She then walked inside the building and to the door of her apartment. She unlocked it and walked in. Throwing her purse and keys on the kitchen table she walked into her bedroom and put on what would be her pajamas for the night. A loose fitting pair of sweats, and a black tank top. She got into the bed and pulled the covers over her, sleep taking her in a quick five minutes.
As Booth sat in the car driving home his thoughts were on the weekend before him. He thought that it would be fun having a weekend all to himself with Bones. Soon enough he reached his apartment and parked the car. He got out and walked up to the door. Unlocking it and walking in then locking it behind him again. He walked straight to his bedroom and got ready for bed. He crawled in and fell asleep.
