Here's the next chapter. A shortie but felt you guys would be mad if I skipped a day. I might not write another until Saturday or so. But definitely before the weekend is over. Promise. I love writing for you guys. Keep the reviews coming.

Temperance's Apartment

It had been a nice date. Booth had gotten them a table at one of the fancier places in town. The only thing that worried the Agent more was that his date had been a little too quiet for his liking. And as they approached her door he wondered whether or not to say something but instead she spoke first.

"Why did you kiss me earlier?" Her back was to her door and she was fussing with the keys in her hand.

Booth chuckled lightly. "You looked amazing. I just couldn't help myself."

"No. I mean at work." Booth could tell that some of her barriers were rebuilding themselves. He couldn't have that.

"Hey." He moved closer to her and took hold of her forearms gently. "It just happened Temperance."

"Yeah but it happened in front of Cam." She turned away from him and began unlocking her door.

"Tempe, why are you so upset about this?" Booth tried to move forward but Temperance placed the door in between them as she spoke through the two-inch open crack.

"Booth I'd much rather not have Cam in my business. And most of all I will not be a way for you to make her jealous." With that Tempe shut the door.

Angela & Hodgins' Place

"You surprise me more and more everyday, Jack." Angela said, her head resting on his shoulder and her arm draped over his chest.

"How do you mean?" He asked as he leaned over slightly to place a kiss to her hair.

"Well," she sighed. "You've always been there for me, through everything. You gave me that rose. We moved in together."

"You're surprised that I do nice things for you?" He tried not to show the tiniest feeling of hurt he felt.

Angela laughed, only causing Hodgins to look sincerely hurt as he pulled away. "No baby that's not it." She moved so she was sitting sideways on his lap, holding his face so that he would look at her. "I'm surprised at how quickly I fell in love with you."

In one second all the pain that filled Jack's eyes was gone. Wrapping his hands in her soft curly hair, Jack pulled her lips to his. Angela deepened the passion as she wrapped her arms around Jack's neck.

In one smooth and effortless motion Hodgins lifted Angela into his arms, their lips still connected. Jack carried his girlfriend down the hallway trying his best to reach the master bedroom without knocking her into a wall. As he approached the door Jack lightly kicked it open and placed Angela on her feet. Jack rested his forehead against hers as they stood in the doorway.

"Surprise." He whispered as he turned her around.

Angela gasped as she took in what was before her. The room was decorated with vanilla scented candles and white rose petals. "Jack this is just…" she trailed off.

"Amazing like you? Believe me I know." Jack laughed as Angela continued to stand in the doorway with her mouth agape.

"You didn't have to do this you know." Angela turned back towards her boyfriend and wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Yes I did." Jack looked into her eyes. "How often is a couple's first time in a bed that they actually share together and are sleeping in for the first time? I just wanted tonight to be special."

"Jack," Angela exhaled softly. "It already was."

Thinking about skipping ahead a month or so. Not sure yet. But I want to move things along in the HA story. I'm just afraid it will ruin the BB line a lil bit. There is going to be a wedding and I'd like to skip to that without it making it seem like they're rushing into things. Let me know. Review!
