Booth was jittery and nervous when he entered the Jeffersonian. He didn't find Bones hunched over a pile of bones this time so he went into her office. 'What am I going to tell her?'
Bones saw Booth come in as nervous as can be. She decided to tease him later, but she was going to put on her maddest act for now.
"Bones!" Booth said out loud as he entered the office. Bones put on a mad face and glare.
"You! You! You! You!" She screamed out. "There's no excuse, Booth!"
"I'm so sorry, Bones! I didn' mean to--" Booth pleaded.
"You stood me up! And we aren't even going out! Batman was right! I drive people away because I fight too much!" Bones exaggerately threw herself onto her desk and put her head down.
'Ouch.' Booth felt bad. 'I knew I shouldn't have said that! Damn! Why does Batman have to be such an ass?!'
He walked towards her and put his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Bones. It's just that Rebecca--"
"No, no, no! Don' try to find an excuse! Everybody does!" Bones, without putting her head up, pointed at him. She saw that he turned around, so she got water from the cup of water on her desk and put it on her eyes, making it look like she was crying. She smeered it and made her mascara run down. She knew she was exaggerating, but she just wanted to see him squirm.
Booth turned around and made a mental slap to himself. When he turned around, Bones's mascara was running down her face and tears were all over her face.
Booth jumped at the sight of her, "Ghee!"
"Even you think I'm uglyyyyyyyyyyyy!" She screamed out as she ran out of the office and into the ladies' restroom.
"Bones!" Booth followed, but stopped outside of the door. "Come on, Bones! I don't think you're ugly!" He heard her sob drastically and blow her nose loudly.
Inside the restroom, Bones was giggling and washing her face. She started to feel sorry for him, but she couldn't help but laugh.
"Come on, Bones! I'm sorry, okay? How can I make it up to you?" She heard him say.
"Go away!" She yelled out.
"Please, Temperance! I'm sorry. I'll do anything just so we can be good again!"
There was silence and then a sigh from Booth.
"I promise I'll let you drive."
Bones's ears shot up and she got out of the restroom as fast as she could with her face clean. Booth looked at her sheepishly.
"Drive?" A slight hint of excitement touched Bones's voice.
"Yes. For three weeks."
"One month."
"No." Booth folded his arms. Bones turned around to go back into the restroom when Booth sighed and said, "Fine."
"I get to drive to the crime scenes and use the siren." Booth gave up like a folded chair and Bones loved it.
"Deal." Booth said reluctanly.
"Deal..." she started as she walked past him and whispered in his ear, "Batman."
Booth felt his blood freeze. She knew that he was at the party and she played him. He heard her laugh out loud as she walked away.
"Temperance!" He yelled out as he ran after her back into her office. She acted innocently.
"You knew this whole time and you still kept acting like you were hurt?! That's not fair! You played me!"
"Like you didn't?" Bones smirked as she sat on her chair.
Booth stayed quiet before asking, "How did you know?"
"I'll answer you if you answer my question." Bones said.
"Fine."
"The kiss. I distinguished your kiss and knew it was you."
"How the hell--"
"Last Christmas, Booth. Don't you remember we kissed. I remember the way you kissed me." Bones said calmly.
Booth, looking a little flushed, said, "What's your question?"
"Why Batman? Why not a squint again?"
Booth looked down at the floor and said, "Infuriating."
"What?" Bones asked, blinking.
"You said I was infuriating. Wonder Woman told Batman that, too."
Bones stared at him for the longest time. "You seize to amaze me, Seeley."
Booth felt a chilling sensation go up and down his spine as she spoke his name. "Uh, thank you?"
Bones laughed as she walked up to him and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you again."
"For what?"
"For saving me...and letting me drive." She walked away smiling as Booth glared.
