A/N: Hi! So this is my very first fanfiction story. Please let me know what you think! Enjoy!!
I Dr. Temperance Brennen have had quite the day. It started normal but turned out to be a very confusing day. I got out of bed at 5:30am and got ready for work, as usual, but today decided to grab a coffee from the diner on my way to the lab. I started to review the bones from the latest limbo case and then Booth came into my office around 9:30 to take me to the crime scene of our newest case. I was so happy when recognized his familiar footsteps. Truthfully, I missed him. He had dragged me out of the lab last night around 8:00 to eat. He is always showing up in my office and taking me out to eat. I secretly love his alpha male behavior, but I will NEVER tell him. I woke up this morning feeling lonely. Logically I had Sully. We have been dating for 4 months now but it is just not the same with him. When I am with Booth, I feel completely safe, like nothing can hurt me.
I look up to see Booth looking at me with a confused look on his face. Apparently, he was telling me about the case, but I was 'zoning' out (his words, not mine). Whatever that means. He had come to inform me of our newest case. A body was found on the side of a deserted road by some hikers. They called it in and here I am back at the lab filling out my pre-examination report. By lunch time, Angela had identified the victim as Robert Werst, yea I know weird last name. When I told Booth he could not stop laughing and then I reminded him that this man was brutally murdered. The victim was from Florida. He was on vacation visiting his nieces in Virginia. He was reported missing two months ago. It was not a pretty site and I found myself feeling a little sick to my stomach thinking of all the terrible things that were done to this man.
I left the lab around 5;30 because I simply just needed a break and because Sully had called this morning telling me I needed to be ready at 7:00 because we were going out for a special dinner. So here I am standing in front of my mirror in my matching lacy plum purple bra and panties curling my impossible hair. The things we do for beauty.
Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz.
I suddenly rush to get the door, forgetting that I am in nothing but my underwear and I look at the clock. 'He's early' I thought. But as I open the front door I realize who it is. Booth. My breath catches in my throat as I see the look in his eyes. A bush spreads quickly across my face and I stand there lost in his wonderful deep brown eyes. After what feels like an eternity, I realize what I am wearing, or not wearing and I hurry into my bedroom to grab my robe.
"Come in Booth" I say, slightly out of breath, as I walk back into my living room covered up this time.
"Hey Bones…umm… I just came by to see if you wanted to get some pie."
He was blushing too. I could see it. I could not help thinking about what he would look like in just his underwear. He's just your partner, just you partner. Was what I keep telling myself as I listen to him ramble on why he was here.
"I know you had a long day today and figured a piece of pie and the good old Seeley Booth charm was what you needed. But I should have called. You obviously have a date with Sully tonight , so I will get going and I will see you tomorrow."
"Booth wait!" I said a little to desperately, " Thanks for coming by. About earlier….umm well I was getting ready for a date with Sully (at the mention of his name I saw a flash of anger mixed with grief pass in his eyes. I could read Seeley Booth like an open book) and I had a lot of things on my mind. I am sorry I cannot go to the diner with you tonight. But maybe we can get some lunch tomorrow?"
"Yea ok. That sounds good Bones. Lunch tomorrow then. Sorry again. Bye." He said as he walked back to his car.
I watched him drive away and wondered what a date with Seeley Booth would be like. No, I can't think this. He is my partner and I have Sully, speaking of which, will be here any minute now.
I run back into my bedroom, a little too fast and smash my left little toe on the edge of my bed. I quickly find a band-aid and apply it before my blood can stain my carpet. That would be just perfect.
Ok, what should I wear? I choose a sleeveless deep green dress with an empire waist with beads embroidered across the top. I pair it with my mothers earrings and a pair of 4 inch heels, that I know will kill me feet but they match the dress perfectly. Sully said we would be going to a fancy restaurant so this outfit will be perfect. For a date with Booth maybe. This has got to stop. I can't keep thinking like this. HE IS JUST MY PARTNER! I scream inside my head.
As I switch my wallet and keys to my clutch purse the door bell rings again. I know that this time it will be Sully. I answer the door and it is indeed Sully on the other side.
"Hi Sully, let me just grab my cell phone. I am almost ready."
"Temperance" he says as he takes in my appearance while I rush around the kitchen frantically searching for my cell phone. As I walk back to the door, phone in hand, he pulls me aside and kisses me.
"You look wonderful tonight Temperance" he says.
I look at him and smile, starting to blush at his complement. But I can't get what happened with Booth out of my head. The way he looked me in the eyes instead of looking at my body when I was practically naked in front of him. Sully has never looked at me with so much passion and desire like Booth did earlier this afternoon.
"Thanks," I tell him, "Should we go?"
