A/N : Hey guys. I've been thinking about writing a new story for a while now and this little idea came to mind yesterday so I decided to go for it. Rated T for language. Italics are of course character thoughts. Well, hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer : I don't own Bones. I wish I did, but I don't. And sadly, I am not paid for my fanfics.


Temperance Brennan was distracted.

She had been trying to write a new chapter for her book for two hours now and she hasn't got more than a line.

The worst part was that she couldn't stop letting her mind wander off to things she didn't need to be thinking about.

And by that she meant Booth of course.

What is wrong with me? Booth is my co-worker, nothing else! She thought to herself.

But you want him to be more.

She jumped and shook that thought off, trying once again to concentrate on her writing. Which of course failed for the hundredth time that day.

She desperately wished that Booth would just walk in with a case for her to concentrate on.

She needed to get her mind off of him, and quick. She could almost see him walk up to her office and lean against the door frame like he always does.

I wonder what Booth would look like shirtless. Now that would be sexy as - - -

Her thoughts were cut short by a knock at the door. She flashed back to reality trying to slow down her heart rate that had sped up from her thoughts of Booth.

She looked up to see Booth, exactly how she imagined him moments before. Casually leaned against the door frame smiling at her.

"Hey, Bones. How's it going?"

She smiled back at him. It was hard not to smile back when he looked at her that way. She wondered when she had started to melt at the sight of his smile.

"Fine I guess. How about you?" She replied.

"I'm good. Why so down?" She could actually see the flash of concern in his eyes.

When did Booth start worrying about how I felt?

"Just having some trouble keeping my mind on my writing. It just keeps wandering off to other things."

"Is it that hard to keep your mind off of me, Bones?" She could hear the teasing in his voice and see the obvious smirk he had on his lips at the statement.

Yes, that's exactly the problem! Her mind screamed.

"Keep dreaming Booth!" Was her quick reply. Even though she wore a smirk exactly to match his, she hoped he couldn't tell she was lying."

I wish it was more than a dream. Booth thought.

Whoa, since when did I start liking Bones?

Too bad for him he didn't get a chance to answer that question.

"Hello? Earth to Booth!"

"Huh?" he replied. Still partly dazed from his thoughts.

"You kind if left Earth there for a minute, Booth."

I wonder what he was thinking about? I hope it was me.

"Oh why don't you just shut up!" Brennan muttered to herself trying to stop her mind from acting up.

"Did you say something?" Booth asked confused.

"Oh uh no. Anyways do we have a case?"

God, I need to stop before he thinks I've gone crazy!

"Actually, we don't have a case." He replied while looking at her beautiful features.

Sometimes he caught himself staring at her while she was examining a body or looking over a file. Those were the times when he was glad that she tends to be clueless when it come to things outside of science.

She smiled at the thought that he didn't just come to her office because they had a case.

"Oh, well why'd you come then?" She wondered out loud.

"I figured if you weren't busy you could leave early for the day and we could go get some dinner." He smiled at her hoping she would say yes.

"Well, sure. Dinner sounds good and I am pretty hungry. Let me just go tell Zack and Hodgins what I need them to do." She smiled back at him once again. Glad to be getting out of the office for a little while. Even though it was with the source of her distraction that has been causing her problems all day.

"Ok sounds good. I'll be waiting for you in the lot." He stated before turning on his heel and walking out into the hallway.

Booth came all the way down here just to ask me to have dinner? This should be interesting.

She the grabbed her coat, turned and walked out of her office to find Zack and Hodgins. Almost tripping over a chair because she was so set on hurrying to get to Booth.

Temperance Brennan was having dinner with Seely Booth. And she couldn't be happier.


A/N : There is definitely one more chapter coming up soon. Maybe two, it just depends on how it plays out. Flames are accepted, just please don't be too hard. Thanks. - Emily.
