Hey ladies! Here's a little story just to get into the spirit for tomorrow night!!! (as if we need encouragement!) Excuse any grammatical errors - I didn't have a beta and was anxious to get this posted! Enjoy!!!

*********************************
Brennan couldn’t believe what was happening. They had been summoned to talk about her father’s case, and the conversation wasn’t unpleasant, until Caroline pointed out where she was standing.

“Oh, well would you look at what little miss personality is standing under…”

Brennan had immediately noticed the piece of mistletoe when she came in, and with a twisted sense of curiosity that had been plaguing her all day, she went and stood beneath it.

Earlier at the Jeffersonian, Angela was stringing the stuff everywhere in hopes of catching Brennan and Booth beneath it. Brennan had been avoiding it most of the morning when she realized Booth was actually going out of his way to go around it. She wondered why he was so studiously diving out of the way when he realized he was near a piece. Her curiosity was getting the better of her as she began purposely walking under the mistletoe to see if Booth would avoid her too - as if to test Angela’s insistence of him having feelings for her. So when she saw the innocent greenery in the room she, Booth, and Caroline would be speaking in, she immediately positioned herself directly beneath it.

When Booth glanced at Brennan at Caroline’s observation, she pointed innocently at the ceiling and shrugged slightly, as if to say, ‘oh, you mean this?’ Both partners looked back to Caroline and gave her smiles like, ‘yeah that’s nice, and your point is?’

Caroline just smiled back and said, “Well go on!” while shoving Booth into Brennan.

Brennan looked amused as Booth laughed nervously and said, “Ah ha…well, if you insist.”

Caroline instantly saw through their fake smiles and knew they were thinking the same thing: ‘Oh crap…’ Brennan tried to tell herself that this couldn’t possibly be any worse than any guy hugs they had shared as far as destroying their relationship, and that it doesn’t really mean anything because it’s based on a holiday that she doesn’t particularly believe in. Meanwhile Booth was trying not to panic because he knew that he was going to have trouble controlling his emotions, even with Caroline in the room with them.

Booth’s smile slowly faded as his eyes met Brennan’s, while she just smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly in expectation. She reached up and grabbed the lapels of his jacket, as his hands delicately found her upper arms. They both slowly leaned in, both planning on a quick little kiss, and both realized that it lasted a few fractions of a second longer than it should have. When they first opened their eyes, neither of them had shielded their emotions, but a blink or two later, their game faces were back on and both were smiling like nothing happened while looking anywhere but at their partner. They released each other and Brennan started heading for the door.

“Well, I should get back to my paperwork,” she said nearly bumping into a beaming Caroline. “Bye, Caroline.”

“Uh, yeah, I’ll uh…see you later, Bones…” Booth awkwardly called after her. He slowly shifted his eyes over to Caroline, who was giving him a superior, ‘You can’t deny it forever!’ look.

“Not a word…” he muttered pointing a finger at her, and quickly left.

Caroline chuckled to herself and pulled her phone from her pocket. She smiled at the picture that she had taken moments ago. She quickly adds the message: ‘I give it two days’ and sends it to one of her friends at the Jeffersonian who is very into art and photography.

__________________________________________________________


Brennan sat in her living room staring out onto the cold gray sky. She was thinking about the kiss beneath the mistletoe with Booth yesterday. It seemed like everything was normal between them, the slight bickering, and the incessant inquiries of eating habits, but Brennan knew they weren’t making the usual eye contact that they normally did.

She wasn’t sure she wanted to see the same raw emotion resurface like it had just after the kiss. She had stayed awake most of the night before trying to figure out where her emotions were, when it came to Booth. She was pretty sure she knew what she was going to do the next time she saw him, but figured that would have to wait till after Christmas, considering it was Christmas Eve.

A soft knock on the door broke her from her reverie. She hesitated, ‘so much for that last thought...’ Part of her wanted to see him, but the other half was a little nervous. Oh who was she kidding, she was ridiculously nervous! She stood and ran her fingers through her hair, and checked her makeup in the mirror before looking through the peephole. He was standing in front of the door shifting nervously. She slowly opened the door and was greeted with a charm smile.

“Merry Christmas, Bones!”

She smirked, “You are,” she paused looking at her watch, “4 hours early.”

“Aww, give me break,” he said with a charm smile and a brief peck on the cheek and small hug, “I just wanted to come by and see how you were holding up this fine Christmas Eve.”

She stood there slightly stunned, but snapped back to reality as he walked passed her.

“Drink?” she asked still a little shell shocked.

“Sure, anything sounds good,” he smiled, shedding his coat.

She nodded and turned to go to the kitchen, “I’ll be right back.”

She grabbed two wine glasses from the cabinet and set them down on the counter. Then she went over to her wine selection and put her hands on either side of her on the counter and bent her head down to give herself a moment.

“It didn’t mean anything!” she said quietly to herself. ‘Pull yourself together!’ she thought angrily, silently banging a fist on the counter. She paused and took a deep breath, picked up a bottle of wine and turned around.

She was so surprised to see Booth right behind her that she nearly dropped the wine bottle and jumped back towards the counter. Booth reached out and covered her small hand on the bottle with his own. Their eyes slowly met, as he guided her hand back to the counter and stepped closer. She tried to step back again, only to bump into the counter. He gently removed her hand from the bottle and brought his hand back to rest right next to her on the counter his eyes never leaving hers.

She was effectively trapped in front of him, but couldn’t care less because she was distracted by the look in his eyes. It was a mix of surprise, lust, triumph, and most of all nervousness. She had seen this look before….under the mistletoe. She breathed in shakily and glanced down at his lips. The glance was brief, but Booth saw it, and now some of the nervousness was gone. A bit of confidence had been restored. He slowly tilted his head and leaned in as both of their eyes fluttered close. Their lips met tentatively, and then three years of tension finally went out the window as they both thought: ‘to hell with it.’ His hands slipped around her waist, and hers flew around his neck pulling him closer. She moaned as his hands started to wander, and he slipped his tongue across her lips.

It was getting heated until Booth suddenly pulled back. He was about to say something, but Brennan put a finger across his lips. She was breathing heavily, but whispered quietly looking at his lips, “Seeley…” She looked up into his eyes and shook her head, “No words. Not tonight.”

Then she leaned in to kiss him again, and Booth decided that maybe later they could talk. Right now he was getting loss in the feeling of kissing his partner, the feeling of her hair through his fingers, the curves of her waist, and the feel of her hands running up and down his chest and back.

She wrapped a leg around his as his hand wandered over her ass and down her thigh. They rolled against the counter top and now it was Booth was pressed against it. Booth began kissing down her neck and lower as she let her head fall backwards arched against him, holding onto his biceps. He groaned as her hips ground into his, and pulled her head back towards him so he could capture her lips again. He spun them along the counter again, only to find that it had ended and the refrigerator was there instead.

‘I’ll take it!’ he thought grinning and finding Brennan’s wrists he lifted them up and pinned them against the cold door. Brennan’s eyes were clouded with lust and she only leaned out to kiss him. He was a bit surprised she didn’t fight to have her hands free, but eagerly kissed her back anyway. They broke apart breathing heavily again and he barely whispered, “bedroom” before she was shoving them out of the kitchen.

Brennan grabbed Booth’s hand and drug him down the hall. She was so excited to get into her room, she forgot to turn the knob and ran straight into the door, with Booth running into her back.

“Pff-HAHAHAHAHAHA!” Brennan burst out laughing and Booth soon joined in.

“Smooth one, Bones,” Booth chided.
Brennan smiled at him mischievously and glanced upward. Booth gave her a slow smile, but followed her gaze.

His slow chuckle turned into a husky laugh as he spotted what they were standing under.

“Mistletoe, Bones?” he grinned. “In the doorway to your bedroom? Presume much?”

She rolled her eyes as she opened the door behind her and pulled him to her by the collar of his shirt, stumbling into her room for one of the best Christmas’ ever.
