" You should date Miss Sawyer ,  Booth " ; I said as I sat on the lounge chairs in the airport lounge .

He sighed heavily . " What is it with you about me dating ? "

" You are 37 and you need to date . I have a boyfriend!  And please , I have seen both of you make googly eyes at each other " ; I said to him .

Booth joined me in DC 6 months after I had started classes . He was on a year long sabbatical .

At first ,he hated Luke . Both of them hated each other . Booth used to be very suspicious of Luke but after a few months they started getting along well .

" I cannot date Stacey . I don't have the time plus as an employee , my job comes first " ; he replied as he  flipped through a food magazine . 

" And as your employer I give you permission to date . Pls go on a date . I have been trying to set you up with people but you just won't go on a second one or you hate your dates . But don't think that I don't notice those longing looks and the accompanying Miss Sawyer to her car , those long touches and hugs " ; I said to him with a cheeky smile . 

He sighed dramatically . 

" Fine fine . I will " ; he relented but the small smile on his face just proved everything I said . 

" Yayyy " ; I cheered . 

" Flight 2726g8 to New York is ready to board . First class passengers please proceed to gate 4 . Thank you " ; the overhead speakers announced . 

" Come on Stace . Let's go home " ; Booth said as he picked up one of my book bags . 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Mommmmmmmmm !!!!!!!!!! Dad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " ; I yelled as soon as I entered the NYC airport parking lot . 

" Stacey ! " ; they both said just as happy and excited as I ran into their embrace . 

" I missed you guys " ; I said . 

" We did too kiddo " ; dad said ruffling my hair . 

" Hey Reed , Susan " ; Booth greeted my parents as well . 

" Hey Booth " ; mom said back . 

" Hey booth " ; dad said as well . 

After that , we got in the car as dad drove back to Baxter building . 

" How's Luke ? " ; mom asked . 

" Good . He will be back after 3 weeks " ; I said . 

" Did you do anything exciting in D.C. ? " ; dad asked . 

" uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... " 

I got arrested . Yay . Spent a night in jail . Booth let me rot in there . Something about learning about responsibilities and in turn of him not telling my parents about it , I had to do the chores . Like pack my own school bag , do my own laundry , cook  my own food , do my dishes , make my bed and not make Luke do it . But then he found out why I got arrested . I punched a rich guy's son cause he tried to forcefully kiss me and I did no chore on my own . 

" I went to the library ? " ; I answered . 

Booth stifled a laugh . I glared at him . 

He got his phone out and started texting . My phone pinged seconds later . He had sent me a text - ' For a girl who dreams to be an undercover agent , you lie horribly ' . 

I sent him an angry aaron hotchner emoji .  He replied back with a laughing emoji . 

The rest of the drive I spent babbling about what I had learned while at college . 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Seina , I have a question for you " ; I said to Miss Sawyer over the phone . 

" What is it Stacey ? " ; she asked . 

" Are you free tomorrow ? At 12 ? " ; I asked . 

" Yes , I am " 

" Okay then , I will meet you at 12 at Zeu's Paradise . The restaurant at downtown " 

" Ok but why ? Do you need some advice ? Stacey , did you steal drugs ? " 

" What ! No ! " 

" okay then " ; Seina said . 

" Thank you . Goodnight " ; I said before hanging up .

" see , it was that easy . Now , you just wear some comfy clothes . Not a suit but your jacket and jeans and shoes and take a bouquet of flowers with you , okay ? " ; I instructed Booth . 

" what bouquet should I take ? ' ; he asked . 

" The colourful tulip ones " 

" Are you sure this is a good idea ? " 

" Yes Booth , trust me on this one . For once , I am more experienced that you in this area " 

" Fine fine . Hey Stace ? Thanks " 

" Your welcome Booth " ; I beamed at him .
