Chapter one-
Dr. Temperance Brennan was working late yet again. Not that she was particularly busy tonight but she did want to get a head start on her latest book. Or at least that's what she kept telling herself. Not because she knew that if she tried to go home she would have nothing to keep herself busy so she wouldn't go to the diner hoping to run into Booth. Why hadn't he come to invite her to dinner anyway? Maybe she should call... she pulled out her phone and started dialing his number. No. She stopped herself. These new feelings she had for booth were something she had never experienced before. She would not let them control her life. Love is irrational. It will never last she told herself. They will be gone soon enough…right?
Just as she was closing her phone to put it away it rang.
She jumped.
Get a hold of yourself temperance. She thought to herself
"Brennan" she said into the phone.
"Hey" she heard someone say and then it echoed in her ear from the phone
She looked up and saw him standing in the doorway flashing one of his giant charm smiles.
"Booth" she said unable to keep the smile from her own lips.
"You eat yet?" booth asked sounding hopeful and still talking into the phone.
Brennan smiled wider as she caught the hopefulness in his voice but then quickly dismissed the thought. She wasn't good at interpreting such signals.
"No" she said into the phone "you?" she asked still unable to clean the smile of her face. Or was it wipe? She would have to ask Booth later.
"Nope" Booth said hanging up the phone and helping her into her coat.
They walked out of the Jeffersonian with his hand on her back smiling like idiots
