Just One Little Kiss

It's not a date, it's not a date…is it?This is the single little thought that Dr. Temperance Brennan up all last night and consumed her every random thought during the day. The date in question wasn't for another day, but still she couldn't help but thinking about it. Because unlike other "dates" she has been on this one was completely different, but it wasn't the activity that they were doing, after all baseball is America's past time, it was who would be sitting next to her that her acting like well a girl. Booth, yes the only reason asked was because Parker couldn't and yes they have hung out just the two of them before…but something about this was different.

"Sweetie…Sweetie" Angela said again as she watched her best friend read the same paragraph for the third time. "BREN!!"

"What Ange?...I'm right here you do not have to yell."

"Honey what has you so preoccupied today. Oh wait isn't tomorrow you date with Booth?" She asked with a little wiggle of her eyebrows.

"Again Ange it is not a date. We are just to friends that are going to a baseball game. Besides there is nothing even remotely romantic about baseball" Bones stated matter of factly.

Angela just looked at her friend with a sly smile." Sweetie have I thought you nothing over the last few years…"

"As I have told you before you are a great asset to the Jeffersonian and you have thought me so much about the technology you use to help us with cases."

"Not like that Bren, but thank you." Ange says with a laugh. "What I mean is that I have told you that no matter where you are there is always something romantic if you are with your perfect match, like you and Booth".

"Ange for the hundredth time Booth and I are just partners and good friends anything more than that is just in your imagination" Bones finished with a sigh.

"All I am saying is there is a reason that Booth-"

"There's a reason I what?" Booth asked he came walking into Brennan's office with a sly smile on his face.

"Nothing Booth Angela was just saying that there is a reason why you love the Phillies so much…" Bones says just as Angela was about to say what they were talking about.

"OF COURSE THERE IS A REASON…other than the fact that they are one of the best baseball teams in America. They are from my home town and that is why I paid a pretty penny for our tickets tomorrow."

"Wait I don't understand how can one penny be prettier than the next they are exactly the same?" Brennan asked with a confused look on her face.

That is one of the many things that Booth finally realized he loved about her. "No bones it's just an expression…it means that the tickets cost a lot of money."He answered with a chuckle. He knew asking Bones to go with him would be his only chance to even see if there was any way that he could take back that stupid line speech that put him in this situation.

"Oh…I see. So are you looking forward to the game tomorrow?" Bones asked with the secret hoping that his yes will not only be because of his team but because of her as well.

Booth noticed something in the way that Bones looked away with the question that put a question in his mind."Totally. So what time should I come by and pick you up?...I was thinking that before we could go get a bite to eat before we head over to the game." Booth looked away as he asked hoping and praying that the need to see her wouldn't lace his questions.

"Yeah that's fine so how about you come by around 4 and then we can go by the dinner."

Angela just stood there with her mouth open...Sweetie he just asked you out on a DATE…was she can think. "Um Bren? I hate to pull you away…" She said giving Booth a knowing smile." But don't forget the paperwork needs to be in for the weekend." After that she turned and quietly left the two of them in their comfortable silence.

"So can I walk you out?" Booth asked a little too eager.

"Yeah sure just let me sign this last forum then we can leave."
