Chapter 4: Hot chocolate.

You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment

And all I can breathe is your life

Cause sooner or later it's over

I just don't want to miss you tonight

After Booth had paid the bill, they hopped back into the SUV and headed towards the next destination. Booth drove towards a small café and parked his car across the road from it; he then opened the door and once again offered his arm to Bones. Once she got out of the car, he placed his hand in the small of her back and led her through the café and into a small courtyard. The courtyard was full of rose bushes and tulips and it had a large willow tree with a seat underneath. There were small fairy lights in all the bushes and a few small lamps scattered around the courtyard, making it a very romantic place. Booth walked Bones towards the seat and they both sat down.

"Booth this place is gorgeous," she said, looking around.

"It sells the best hot chocolates you will ever taste. I take parker here all the time in winter, we order take away hot chocolates then we sit in the car and drink them together." Said Booth, smiling. "Now you wait here while I get us the hot chocolates," he said, walking towards the café and out of sight.

Once Booth left, Bones finally had a chance to really think. Tonight had already been excellent and it was only 8:15. She had never had gone out with anyone who put so much though into the date. Booth had a way of making her feel so safe and protected, he seemed to always know what was wrong with her, and find a way to make it feel better. She never wanted tonight to finish, because she knew that if there was a chance of anything happening between the two it would be tonight; and although she didn't think Booth could love her, there was a nagging voice inside her head that told her he did love her back.

"Okay Bones, we got hot chocolates with marshmallows, but drink em up, we gotta go soon" he said, sitting down net to Bones.

"Where are we going?" she asked, wondering how this date could get any better.

"Ah, you'll see, now drink up", he said, pointing at her hot chocolate.

"Wow Booth, this is excellent," said Bones, as she took a sip of the hot chocolate.

"I know, never found a better hot chocolate," he said, leaning back and relaxing into the seat. "So what where you thinking about before?" Booth asked.

"Wait, how did you know I was thinking before?" she asked.

"Bones, I know you better than you think," he said, smiling proudly at her.

"Well, I was just thinking that so far this has been an excellent date"

"Why thank you Bones, but it is not over yet, there are still a few surprises left," he said, smiling at her and sipping his hot chocolate. They sat in silence for a few moments longer, until Bones got a phone call from Angela. She picked up the phone and spoke to Angela.

"What did she want?" asked Booth, when Bones hung up the phone.

"She wanted to know how I was, then she asked if I had jumped you yet. I said I had not jumped you yet, although I do not know what she was talking about." Said Bones, her face pinching up in confusion and thought.

Both squirmed slightly, as he did every time a sexual topic was brought up. "She umm uh, it was an implication" he said.

"Oh, so by jump she means sexual intercourse, I don't know why she didn't just say that" she said, laughing as Booth continued to fidget. After a few more moments of silence, Bones decided to ask a question she had been longing to ask for some time now. "Do you ever wonder why people ask us if we are involved?" she asked, breaking the silence, and replacing it with tension.

Booth looked at Bones, a stunned look on his face. "Sometimes," he said thoughtfully, wondering where this conversation was going to lead.

"Do you ever think that we act like we are involved, I mean besides having sexual intercourse and engaging in more serious romantic actions?"

Composing himself for the third time Booth finally answered. "I do sometimes, think that" he said, as they both choked up, and lost the courage to continue the conversation. "But Bones, you gotta stop talking about you now what so much" said Booth, trying to relieve the tension.

Bones just laughed. "Booth, you seriously are a prude," she said, giving him a small playful shove.

"Me a prude, you have to be kidding," he said, as the tension finally lifted. They chatted happily until they finished their hot chocolates and then once again hoped into the SUV to go to the next place.
