She rolled over in bed putting a pillow over eyes to try to blow out the sunlight beaming through her window. She made a mental note to get darker curtains to prevent this. Just as she was about to drift back into sleep, she jumped out of bed at the realization that she had an interview this morning. She looked at the clock. 8:27. SHIT. Her interview was at 9 am. She really needed to hurry. She couldn't be late, Temperance Brennan was never late, not if she could help it.

She quickly pulled her back into a ponytail and put on the clothes she picked out last night. And within 5 minutes she was out the door and on her way to the interview. She was meeting a man named Seeley Booth at a little restaurant in the city. He was looking for a new babysitter for his son Parker. Temperance had no desire to be a babysitter but was still in college and could use the extra money. Plus she figured as she watched him, over time she could study the brain develop of a child. As she pulled into the restaurant she looked at the time. 8:57. Shoot she really needed to hurry if she didn't want to be late. So she took one last look in the mirror to check her makeup and hurried into the restaurant.

She walked into the restaurant and told the hostess that she was looking for Seeley Booth. The women who looked couldn't be over 18 led her to a table in the back corner. A tall, dark hair man stood up and extended his hand to hers. He was wearing a very expensive black suit, with a light blue tie that reminded her of her eyes. But the thing that stood out the most was his belt. He wore a bright red belt buckle that said "Cocky". He was defiantly his own person and she could admire that

"You must be Temperance Brennan. I'm Seeley Booth, it's a pleasure to meet you." he said as he flashed a toothy smile at her.

He wasn't at all what she suspected. He was young, and if she would say so most likely only a few years older than her.

"Yes, pleasure to meet you as well" she said as she sat down.

"I would like to thank you for coming today, you are very well qualified for the position, actually you are over qualified. So why do you want this job?" he questioned her.

"Well, actually I am in intern at the Jeffersonian Institute, I'm studying to be a forensic anthropologist. But I could use the extra money to pay for my schooling."

"Oh, so you're a squint?"

Brennan had heard that term used only a couple of times in the lab by the FBI when the Jeffersonian helped them with identifying bones once, but nowhere else. She was very surprised to hear it come from him. "Excuse me? I have only heard that term used once..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. See I work with FBI so I know the terminology. I believe that is what they call your team at the Jeffersonian."

"You didn't offend me, it was more the mere surprise that you used it. I am at the FBI agency quite frequent due to their partnership with the Jeffersonian but I have never seen you, so I didn't think you were an agent."

He smiled at her response. He was new but still, squint came in all the time but didn't come in. No, he knew it, he would remember her. Especially with those blue eyes of hers. They were something to remember. The feeling of her staring snapped him out of his thoughts. " Well I guess our paths have just never crossed, that is until now I guess. But back to the job. Parker is a great kid, I'm sure he will take a real liking to you as soon as he meets you. I would like you to start tomorrow if that is okay. It is just a couple hours a day or if I work late. I understand that you have classes as well so if I could get your schedule as well that would be great."

"I can fax it over to you tonight. And tomorrow would be fine. Thank you for this. I hope that I can satisfy your needs for the job."

His mind was racing. I hope that I can satisfy your needs played over and over again. Oh man. This could be bad. Did she not realize the way she said things? Things like that could be twisted in someone's mind. Squints. Sometimes only being book smart had its draw backs. He just chuckled and continued, "I'm sure you will do just fine. But I must get back to the office. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow." And with that he got up and walked out of the restaurant leaving Brennan sitting there with her thoughts.

He was very professional for such a young person. But she didn't have much room to talk. But something about him threw her off. Something about him affected her in a way she could not comprehend. She was attracted to him, that was clear. He was tall, dark hair, and dark eyes. He had broad shoulders and although she couldn't tell exactly, she could tell that he had very nice body. He had to work out a lot. But these were something else. Something unique about him that she couldn't exactly pin point. But at this point it didn't matter. He was to be her boss tomorrow. And she needed to focus on graduating this spring.
