A/N Okay so this came into my head and as I don't normally write this kind of stuff it was new to me. It is going to be a three parter. It will involve Brennan going on a date (not with Booth) The date itself and what happens afterwards. The first and second chapter will contain a little more drama/romance but the third will be mainly fluffy. Please enjoy.
Chapter One: The conversation.
"So when did you feel it necessary to let me on on your planned date with Matt?" Booth begun asking Brennan as they entered the diner. It was something they did almost religiously, normally to mark the end of another gruelling case, and today was no different.
Instead of answering her partner though Brennan sat herself down in their usual spot. She felt it totally unwarranted to have to justify her actions to him.
Is she ignoring me? "Bones aren't you going to answer me?"
"I really don't see it's any of your business Booth, it is just a date," she reminded him scornfully. She was more tired and agitated then usual having spent the past three weeks solid working on their latest case.
"Actually it is my business, especially where Matt Jenkins is concerned," Booth countered as he recalled the conversation he had unintentionally overheard that afternoon as he had swung by his office to grab some paperwork. He had expected it to be the general chit chat between three of his collegues. Matt Jenkins, Daniel Thomas, and Ryan Miller. But no, today they weren't talking about who was turning up for the poker game that night, or who they scored with last night. No, the topic of conversation just happened to be that Matt Jenkins, number one golden boy or so everyone thought had secured a date with none other then forensic anthroplogist Dr Temperance Brennan.
"Yeah I can't believe it ," Booth had heard Matt brag. "To think that Dr Temperance Brennan would agree to go out with me."
"She is so damn fine that one," he had heard Daniel comment, whilst whistling like some teenage schoolboy. "Although kind of a challenge," he jokingly added.
Matt rubbed his hands together at the prospect. "I just love a challenge. I think she may be even the one, you know," Matt had then said.
"So are you going to know show her a good time?" came Daniel's high pitched voice again.
Matt ruffled his hand through his blonde slightly overgrown hairstyle and grinned. "Well i'm sure once I work my charm on her she'll be unable to resist me."
Booth was flaming, his eyes lit up like fire. He was ready to charge right in there and wipe that smug smile from Matt's face once and for all. Who does he think he is making a move on my Bones? The next voice he overheard was Ryan's and it caused him to falter, immedialtely stopping dead in his tracks.
"Well I hope Booth doesn't find out about your little date."
"Why?" Matt asked inquisitively
"You know they do work together and from what i've heard he kind of has the hots for her himself," he went on.
Matt just laughed. "Well he better get in line then hadn't he. They've been working together for what four years, don't you think that if he was interested in her he would have done something about it by now."
Ryan shrugged. "I'm just saying."
"Yeah well the way I see it if he hasn't staked his claim then she's fair game. Maybe he just doesn't know a good thing when he sees it," he concluded. He was met with a 'yeah' from Daniel who gave him a good luck pat on the shoulder before the group dispersed. Once they were gone he straightened his tie, then picked up a file from the table. "His loss my gain." he proudly announced to himself before leaving the room.
The agent was so shocked at what he had just heard he ended up swallowing the stick of gum he had been chewing. Of all the men she could have chosen she has to choose jerk almighty. More importantly though since when has Bones had the time to get to know the guy? Well if he thinks he stands a chance with her then he's clearly mistaken.
"Booth?" Brennan clicked her fingers loudly. "You were saying?"
He was so lost for words he found himself stumbling. "Uh.. yes..now what was I saying?"
Popping a couple of fries into her mouth she kindly reminded him. "You were saying it was your business, and something about my date."
Booth gripped his coffee cup tightly."Ah yes as I was saying it is my business when you choose to go on a date with the biggest male chauvenist pig in the whole damn bureau," he spat angrily.
"For your information on the three occasions we have engaged in conversation he has been very polite and well mannered. Did you know he actually studied anthropology in college, before he decided that it really wasn't his thing and instead decided to apply to the FBI."
"No I didn't. Why does that matter? Are you dating him purely because he is in the same social class as yours. Is it because he can understand all those big scientfic words you throw around like it's your second language, because i'm getting better you know."
She took his hand "I know, and no i'm not dating him for that reason. He's seems interesting and we have alot in common.
"The only thing he's interested in is getting in your pants Bones, and maybe that's all your interested in too." Shit did I just say that?
"SEELEY BOOTH!" she glared at him as she instantly rose from her seat, her eyes darkened to a grim shade of gray. "That was harsh. Why would you even say a thing like that?"
"I'm sorry." He quickly mustered up an apology but it obviously hadn't worked as she grabbed her bag and swiftly made a beeline for the door.
Throwing a few dollars down on the table he rushed off after her. "Bones i'm sorry, but I heard him talking with some other guys. You'll just be like some trophy to him Bones."
She stopped on the pavement outside ready to face him. "I'm a big girl Booth, i'm quite capable of looking after myself."
Once it looked she had calmed a little he gently took hold of her chin and tilted it towards him so she had no choice but to look at him. "I know your capable Bones. I've never doubted you. But he dates a different girl every week. He's just a womanizer Bones." He leaned in towards her, his eyes fixated on hers. "You deserve so much better."
"Seeley Booth if I didn't know you any better i'd say you were jealous.
You have no idea Bones. You have no idea.
