A/N Thank you for the reviews! I'm so busy with back to school stuff on top of playing for a soccer club full time, but I'll try to write as much as I can!

PLEASE READ: This chapter and the chapters to come will be rated M!

Friday August 5th Washington D.C

The first week of school was coming to an end. Booth had given Temperance a ride to and from school every day. Neither of them had mentioned the ride home on the first day of school, because they had been too busy. Even though it was the first week back, biology had been very time consuming.

They were on their way home from school in mostly silence, contemplating what the other was doing for the weekend. Finally Booth spoke up.

"So it's the weekend." He said

"Yes it is. Are you doing anything?" Tempe asked, hoping he would say no.

"Well, that's what I was going to ask you." He chuckled.

She laughed, "No I don't have anything planned."

He took a deep breath and asked, "Well, um, see I was going to ask um…." He laughed about how nervous he was. It's not like he'd never asked a girl out before, but Temperance was different.

Finally he mustered up the courage and blurted out, "Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow?"

She was surprised by this. She had never been on a date before. She'd never even been asked out before, but she wanted to accept. Her attraction to Booth was evident, even in the shot time she had known him.

She smiled.

"I would like that very much."

He sighed in relief. "Awesome. I was thinking we could have a picnic at the park around noon tomorrow?"

"That sounds wonderful; I'll meet you at your car at 11:45?" She asks becoming uncontrollably giddy.

"Okay. So I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks, parking the car in his usual spot.

She smiles brightly.

"Yes. Tomorrow."

She leaned up and kissed his cheek. She let her lips linger there for a moment. Booth's eyes were closed during this time, and when he finally opened them she was gone.

"Tomorrow." He whispered.

When Temperance went inside she walked to the living room and found her foster father passed out on the couch with a bottle of liquor in his hand. Her foster mother was in the kitchen. Lauren Anderson was not abusive like her husband. She was a nice woman and tried her best to keep her husband from being violent, but he was violent with her as well.

"Hi, Temperance. How was school?"

Tempe sighed. She knew her foster mother was not a bad person; she was just scared. She didn't blame her, but she wonders why she even stays with her prick husband.

"Hello Lauren. School was fine. I have a question." Tempe says cautiously.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Well, Seeley Booth, the boy next door, asked me to join him for a picnic tomorrow at lunch time. Would it be alright if I went?" She asked hopefully

"Oh, of course! Seeley is a very sweet boy. I've known him for quite a while. He moved in with his grandfather a few years ago." She said with excitement.

"Okay thanks." Temperance says coolly.

"Temperance?"

Tempe turns and looks at her foster mother.

"I know you're disappointed in me, but I want you to know that I care about you very much." She says with pleading eyes.

Tempe shakes her head and walks out of the kitchen. "For some reason, I find that hard to believe."

"Tempe!" She goes after her. "Tempe I got you this." She pulls out a cell phone and hands it to her. "You know, in case of an emergency. Or if you just need to call someone. I really want the best for you, even though you can't see it."

Temperance took the phone and nodded. "Thank you."

And with that she went up the stairs to call Angela.

"OH MY GOD, SWEETIE!" Angela squeals over the phone.

"Angie, calm down! I'm the one going on the date and I'm not as excited as you are." Tempe says trying to hold back her laughter.

"Okay Brenn, I'm calm." Angela says taking large breaths.

Tempe sighs in frustration. "I don't know the first thing about dates. I don't have anything nice to wear. Do I kiss him? I need you Ange."

"Okay, now you calm down Brenn. How about you come over and you can borrow one of my outfits and I'll do your nails and whatnot."

Brennan thought for a minute. She wanted to go very badly, but she didn't know if she could get away or not. Angela didn't live very far away, so she could easily walk there.

"Okay , I'll be there in 30 minutes." Tempe said and hung up.

Walking down stairs, she notices her foster father is no longer on the couch.

Walking in to the kitchen once again she sees Lauren hunched over the sink crying.

"Lauren?" Tempe murmurs.

She doesn't say anything so Tempe walks up behind her and put her hand on her shoulder. Finally Lauren turns around and you can see her swelling eye and bloody nose.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lauren continues to mumble.

"Lauren what happened?"

"I told him I was tired of him hitting you, and hitting me and that I wanted a divorce." She sobbed.

"He said that he makes the decisions and then he hit me and left. He took the bottle of scotch with him." She says.

"Lauren, I'm sorry I was so cold to you earlier. I know you want the best for me, but are you serious about the divorce?"

"Yes. Very serious. I thought about what you said, and you're right. How can I say I care about you when I let him beat you while I watch on the sidelines? I'm getting a divorce and then I'm getting a restraining order. You deserve so much better than me, but do you think you will stay with me?"

Tempe sighed. "Lauren, you're telling me that I deserve better, but so do you. I know you're trying, and I'm grateful for that. And if you go through with this, I'll stay with you. I promise."

Lauren smiled through her tears and hugged Tempe.

"Thank you, Temperance. I love you very much."

"I know." Tempe whispers, hugging her back.

After a few minutes, they broke apart and smiled at each other.

"Did you come down here to tell me something?" Lauren asks.

"Yeah, I was going to tell you that I was going over to Angela's house so she can help me get ready for my lunch date, but I'll just stay here. It's fine."

Lauren shook her head. "No, you go. I'll be fine. You go ahead."

Tempe frowned. "Are you sure? I can help you ice your eye and-"

"Go. I can manage." She says grabbing Tempe's hand.

"Okay." Tempe sighs.

Tempe begins to walk out of the kitchen, but turns around.

"Lauren?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you, too."

"Okay sweetie, I have an outfit picked out that I think you'll like, it's laid out on my bed. Go try it on and come back in here when you're done."

Brennan nodded and left the bathroom. She examined the outfit on the bed. It was yellow tank top and white shorts. There was also a white vest to go over the tank top. The accessories consisted of silver earrings and a necklace with sapphire in it. To Tempe's surprise there was a pair of white sandals.

After changing, Tempe goes back into the bathroom. "Brenn, you look amazing!"

"You don't think the shorts are too short? She asks self consciously.

"So what if they are? You look hot!" Angela says excitedly.

Brennan looks in the mirror and smiles I look pretty good.

Saturday arrived quickly and Seeley got up early to make lunch and make sure everything was set. He made a quick trip to the flower shop and got Tempe some Daffodils. He didn't know why he picked that particular flower, but it just seemed right.

11:45 came around and Booth got the picnic basket, the blanket, and the flowers. He heads out to his car and sure enough, the most stunning woman he has ever met is leaning up against his passenger door.

Her hair was curled slightly, and pinned up and her face had a light touch of makeup on it. The white shorts she was wearing complimented her long legs and he thought about what they would feel like. He felt his jeans tighten and made himself get his mind off of sexual things. It was their first date, and he was going to be the perfect gentleman. He walks over to where she stands and smiles.

"Hey, Temperance." He says, grinning like an idiot and inwardly cursing at how stupid he probably looks.

Temperance smiles at his nervousness and chuckles. "Hey."

"You look very beautiful." He mentions, looking at her up and down.

She blushes and says, "Thank you. You look very handsome."

"Thanks." He chuckles.

"These are for you" He hands her the flowers.

"Wow they smell wonderful. How did you know daffodils were my favorite flower?" She asks.

"I didn't, but I'm glad I got the right kind."

She just smiles.

"So shall we go?" He asks motioning at the car.

Tempe nodded. Booth opened the passenger door for her and headed to the driver's side.

When they arrived at the park they got out and went to find a spot to sit. They found a grassy spot under a large oak tree. Booth spreads the blanket out for them and they sit. Booth brought homemade macaroni and cheese, fresh fruit, and chips for their lunch; and apple pie for dessert. After they eat Booth picked up their dirty dishes and put them in their basket.

"Thank you for that Booth. Everything was delicious."

He chuckled. "You didn't even try the apple pie."

She giggled. "I told you. I don't like my fruit cooked!"

"I bet you'd like it the way I do it." He winked.

"Well despite the cooked fruit, everything was wonderful. Thank you." She said with a warm smile.

"Anytime Temperance. Anytime." He said with his flirting smile.

"So, what now?"

"Well, now, I would to get to know you better." He says, turning to face her after everything was put away.

"Well, what would you like to know?"

"Everything." He says, seriously.

She laughs and says, "That's going to take quite a while to accomplish."

He smiles and leans in to her ear and whispers, "That's what I'm counting on."

She gasped at his breath on her ear.

Once she gained her composure and he leaned back again, she began to tell him things about her.

"Well I'm sixteen. I'll be seventeen on September 25th. I want to go to American University here in D.C and major in forensic anthropology" she said, practically.

"What's forensic anthropology?" he asked with a confused, but intrigued expression.

"It's the study of skeletal human remains for the use of legal cases. I want to be a part of the anthropology unit at the Jeffersonian Institute when I get my doctorate."

"Wow that sounds amazing." He says, truly amazed. "You're probably the most interesting person I've ever met."

She blushed and smiled. "What about you? What do you plan to do after high school?"

"I'm thinking about joining the army; Rangers to be more exact. And then after that I want to study criminal justice and join the murder investigation unit in the FBI." He says nonchalantly.

"That sounds like a very promising future."

He chuckles.

Just then a blinding lightning strike hits followed by a mind splitting thunderclap. Seconds later it is pouring rain.

"Oh!" She yells.

"Here" He yells over the thunderclaps and hands her his keys. "Go get in the car. I'll pack this stuff up."

She frowned. "I can help you-"

"Temperance, please? The lightning is really bad." His face was pleading.

Reluctantly, she nodded and took the keys. Quickly he packed everything up and folded the blanket.

By the time he got to the car Temperance was already there. He puts the basket and soaked blanket in the backseat and finally gets up front. When he is finally seated he looks over to Temperance who is shivering violently. He scoots over and puts his arms around her; rubbing her arms in an effort to warm her up. She turns into him seeking his warmth. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest.

After about 10 minutes she stopped shivering and he spoke.

"I'm sorry. I should have checked the weather before I made plans to-"

He didn't get to finish his sentence because he felt her lips in his. This kiss was different than their previous one. It was sensual and passionate. The kiss became more heated when he grabbed her hips and she straddled his. He gently grazed his tongue across her bottom lip and she opened her mouth, granting him access. He ran his hands down her back to her butt and held them there. They broke apart for air, but Booth attached his lips to her neck and began to suck. She moaned and began to grind against him. He ran his hand under her shirt and she tensed up. He felt her tense and pulled back to look at her.

"Sorry did I go too far?" He asks, feeling bad for losing control like he told himself he wouldn't.

"No, that was amazing, but I've never done any of this before. I mean nothing. I've never dated; never told anyone about myself like I told you; never done this." She points a finger back and forth between the two. "I just want to make sure I'm doing it right." Her cheeks were reddening.

He laughed.

She thought he was laughing at her and looked away and making her way off of his lap. He stopped her and made her look at him.

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing at the fact that you've never done any of this before, yet you seem like a pro. I mean can you feel what you're doing to me?"

Just then she feels something poking against her thigh. She gasped and looked at him wide eyed. Her eyes were becoming a deeper blue.

"You're doing nothing wrong, and everything right, I promise."

She smiled wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Can I ask you something?" He asked, looking right into her eyes.

"Anything." She whispers.

"Would you like to go out with me?"

"I thought we just went out?" She asks, confused by his question.

"No, I mean would you like to be in a relationship with me."

"Oh." She said, understanding.

"Well what do you say?" He asks giving her a full watt charm smile.

She giggled and said, "I would love to date you Seeley Booth."

He chuckled. "Well that's a good thing, because I wasn't going to take no for an answer."

She laughed and kissed him deeply.

"So what happens now?" she whispers in his ear.

He smiles. "How about we go rent a movie and get some candy, then go to my place?"

"I would enjoy that very much." She says removing herself from his lap.

"Me too."

They rented The Ring. Temperance had never seen it, and Booth just wanted to have a reason to cuddle with her. When they got to his house he remembered that their clothes were still soaked.

"Okay let my go get an old t-shirt of mine for you to wear and we can put your clothes in the dryer."

"O-okay" she said, surprised that she hadn't even noticed she was soaking wet.

He came back a few minutes later, changed into sweatpants and a t shirt. He held a large T-shirt in his hand.

"Here you go. The bathrooms right down that hall."

She nodded and walked to the bathroom.

He sighed. You can't actually fall in love with someone in a week can you? It's not like this was the first girl Booth had dated. He'd dated more girls than he'd like to say, but Temperance, she was just something new to him. He has never felt this way before.

He was pulled from his thoughts when Temperance opened the bathroom door and came out, and Booth gasped at the sight. The t shirt hung just below mid thigh. She had her wet clothes in her hand and she walked over to him. They were staring at each other for a while until she finally spoke.

"I'm not wearing any underwear." She says bluntly.

He stands there wide eyed, surprised by her bluntness, but even more aroused that he already was.

"Uhh. I, uh, why?" He couldn't form a thought at that moment.

"They were soaked." She said, not even catching the double meaning.

He grew even harder and continued to stare wide eyed.

Temperance looked down noticing his bulging groin and gasped.

He looked away and said, "I'm sorry Temperance, this is really embarrassing. I'll go get you some sweat pants."

He didn't notice, but she had stepped closer and they were inches apart now. She looked down and lightly grazed her fingers over his erection. He hissed and bucked into her fingers. She gently grabbed the waistband of his sweatpants and stuck her hand in. She gripped his member and he moaned.

"Temperance." He said grabbing her hand and pulling it out of his pants.

"What's wrong?" She asked, feeling rejected.

"Nothing. Nothing at all. But I really care about you, and I don't want to mess this up by rushing you into anything. I want to take this slow so we don't have any regrets." He says, still holding on to her hand.

She nodded, understanding what he was saying.

"I've never met anyone as considerate or as understanding, or as sweet as you." She says cupping his cheek.

He smiles and says, "I've never met someone so intelligent, or so beautiful, or so amazing as you. What did I do to deserve you?"

"I don't know, but I'm extremely grateful that you did it." She said smiling.

He chuckled and kissed her sweetly.

"Alright, are you ready to be scared to death?" Booth asks grinning at her.

"You know you can literally be scared to death right?" She says, logically.

He laughs and says, "You just wait and see Bones. Wait and see."

"Did you just call me Bones?"
