Thank you everyone who reviewed! you made my day!

I think I'm going to give this story a few more chapter. If you read it please let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy )

"So we're defintely getting more funding. People are finally understanding the work we do..." Cam continued between bites of pasta and sips of red wine.

the restaurant was quiet considering the time. Booth figured it had something to do with the price range of the meals, Cam had expensive taste.

"Anthropology and archaeology are getting a makeover-so to speak. A representative is coming down from Washington next week to see um," She looked at Booth expectantly as he poked at his steak, "...see where the funding should go..."

Booth's mind kept wondering to the days events. What Brennan had encountered. What she has said about him, "I care about him. And he cares about me..." He was relieved and somewhat content that she understood how he felt about her, and that she felt the same.

"Do you love him?"

"Thats not a question you get to ask."

He wondered what she meant by that.

Cam took a sip of her wine and placed it back down on the table, interrupting his thoughts.

"Seeley," She started, "If your prod the piece of meat any further, it may well pass as a dissection."

He looked up at her puzzled and then make down at his meal. He had barely consumed any of it but she was right.

"I'm sorry," he replied in a daze, "I'm just a little tired. It's been a long day."

"Do you want to talk about it?" Cam asked sincerely. She placed her hand on his, she wanted him to open up. She waited.

"You know what." He pulled back after a seconds thought, "I think I'm going to go."

He wiped his mouth with his napkin and finished his drink before standing up suddenly.

"Seeley-"

"I just have to go" he said, as he placed a hundred dollar bill on the table.

"It's about Dr. Brennan, isn't it?" Cam asked knowingly.

"It's about me." He replied quitely as he walked out of the restaurant.

Cam observed her surroundings as she took a swig of wine. She was now alone in a restaurant full of couples. Where did that leave her?

Booth drove around in his black SUV after leaving the restaurant. His first intention was to go home and sleep; sleep sounded good. But he wanted to clear his mind first. So he was somewhat confused when he found himself knocking on Brennan's door about half an hour later. She peeped through the door before opening it a few seconds later.

"Hi," Booth smiled warmly.

"Hi." She smiled back, surprised. She wondered what he was doing here.

"Its quite," He replied after poking his head through her door, her brand new television was off, the radio wasn't on, "Where's ange?"

"She's sleeping. She ended up sticking around."

"Ah," Booth recalled, "She's a better friend than you give her credit for."

"Perhaps" Brennan nodded letting him inside, "But if i have to watch Sleepless in Seattle one more time..."

Booth laughed as they both walked toward the kitchen.

"Thats how I feel every time the Discovery channel is on." Booth teased.

She gave him a look of mock anger. She knew he was joking.

"Do you want something to drink?" Brennan asked.

"Yeah, tap water..." he replied as he eyed the fridge suspiciously.

Bones gave him a puzzled look before filling the glasses.

"What happenned to your date?" Brennan asked, he looked up, "You and Cam? Dinner?"

"Oh" Booth stated, "Yep."

Brennan leaned against the kitchen counter expecting him to continue, he didnt.

"Yep?" A pause.

"Yep." Another pause.

"Okay then..." Brennan handed him a glass of water. He smiled appreciatively, "So what are you doing here Booth?"

"Well I figured you'd need some cheering up. I know you're feeling kinda down, thats why you're still awake. right?" He gave her his best charm smile.

"Either that, or I was obliged to answer the door when I heard the knock." Brennan hit back.

"Was that sarcasm bones?" Booth feigned shock. She couldn't help but smile back.

"So Bones. We're going out." Booth decided, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"What? no." She could see his mind working, "Booth its the middle of the night."

"Exactly, come on!" He pulled her away from the kitchen.

"Booth. Booth! Where are we going?"

He grabbed her arm and gently but persistantly pullled her to the door. She was resisting, he was laughing.

"You'll find out soon enough, keep it down, you'll wake ange! we wouldn't want that."

"I hate surprises!"

"Come on Bones, where's your sense of adventure!"

He grabbed her coat for her and pulled the -still squirming- anthropologist out, closing the door quietly behind him.
