Chapter 2:

Love is Sometimes Annoying

Booth looked at his watch as he brought his breakfast over and sat with Bones.

"It's seven AM. Geez, Bones, I'm usually getting up right now. Why did you have to make it so damn early?"

"Hey, remember that you agreed to the rules, you could have said to make it later," Brennan said.

"Oh right," he said as he looked at her and flashed his charm smile.

Brennan smiled back as blood stared to rush to her checks. She loved his charm smile.

"So what's on your agenda for today Bones?" Booth said.

"Agenda is a very intelligent word Booth" she said, wanting to stay clear of the fact that they wouldn't be together unless a case came along.

"Hey, I thought that we agreed that you wouldn't insult my intelligence! I went to school and paid some attention in it Bones."

"I'm just saying that you used a sophisticated word Booth. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Yeah Bone. You're just saying that aren't you?" Booth teased. The two laughed softly.

Meanwhile, the husband and wife who owned the bakery were watching them. They went into the back when there was silence.

"They are so cute together," the wife said.

"Yeah they are, it reminds me of how we were," her husband replied.

"Yeah. It takes me back to our first dance as husband and wife. Do you remember?"

"I think I'm a bit rusty, I might need a bit of reminder," he said with the mischief look in his eyes.

"I can help you remember. But first let me put this stale bread out for the birds."

"Fine, but hurry up or I might forget all together."

Later…..

"So Booth, where are we going out to eat?" Temperance asked.

"Somewhere good Bones. Don't worry."

"Can you tell me where this 'somewhere good' is?"

Suddenly, they heard a scream come from behind the car. Booth and Brennan both looked at each other, panicky.

"Temperance stay here, it might be dangerous" Booth said with worry in his voice.

"And let you go back there by yourself? No way! I'm coming."

Brennan knew that Booth was worried about her safety but no way was she going sit back and risk him getting hurt.

"Bones, I don't have time for this" Booth replied, this time a little annoyed.

"Booth I can take care of myself. I'm not incapable! Now let's go!" Brennan got out of the car and slammed the door.

Booth followed Bones, hesitantly. Damn, why does she have to be so independent? If anything happens to her, I will never forgive myself.

The pair slowly walked around back of the car, Booth's gun pointed cautiously in front of them.

Why does he have to be so protective over me? I can take care of myself. Its not like I'm one of those girls that always needs protecting.

They made their way back, carefully, towards the bakery where they had eaten earlier that day. Just as they were about to make their way around to the back the husband that owned the bakery ran outside.

"Whoa, I can't let you go back there Mr. …" Booth said, unsure of the man's name.

"Summers, Mr. Summers, and what do you mean I can't go?! This is my bakery! My wife is out back, and it sounds like she was the one who screamed."

"I'm sorry Mr. Summers. You'll have to stay here while I go back and get her." Booth replied.

"You mean we'll go get her, Booth." Brennan said.

"Fine, but stay behind me."

"Booth I can take care…"

"Temperance I know you can take care of yourself, but do as I say or you can stay behind with Mr. Summers!, Now what's it going to be?" He shouted with anger, but Brennan knew he only wanted to make sure she was alright.

Brennan had never seen Booth this way before, it scared her. But it also made her feel safe and loved. She hadn't had that feeling since Russ.

"Fine, let's go."
