Okay! First of all, I'd like to thank you for reviewing! (Do that again... smiles)
And secondly: sorry for taking so long, but I got my national exam results during the week. They went rather well, considering the fact that I got into university! Which is great! But enough about me. Here's another chapter and I totally hope you enjoy it. The weird part is that they tend to get longer and longer...

The sentence between ' ...' is what they're thinking.

She stepped out of her car. Her blue heels clicked on the tiled path she was walking on. Her auburn hair had sweet waves in them and they flew nicely around her face while she was moving. She stopped in front of the Paladin's Place. The restaurant didn't look very different from the other plain houses on the street, although the sign said its name. Temperance Brennan sighed and stepped in. She was momentarily shocked– that was not ordinary! The room was filled with round tabels that had comfortable looking sofas and chairs around them. The enlightenment was soft, not too bright, not too dim and little stars were dancing around the whole room, including people. The place looked... cosy. The band was playing some slow music. She had just managed to adjust, when she was interrupted.

„Dr Brennan! Temperance! So nice you came! Hehe" Jared shook her hand and was widely smiling. „You look stunning!"

"Thank you, Jared" Brennan smiled to the guy, who now tried to lead her to their table, but she managed to pull away.

„As you wish, my lady. Hehe" He showed her the way. Jared didn't look bad himself, actually. He was wearing a tux and reminded her a little bit of his brother, although he's smile wasn't nearly as charming as Booth's...

'Wait! Why am I comparing them?' she thought.

„Where's Booth?" Brennan lightly frowned.

„Oh he's on his way. He called and said he'd be a little late."

He pulled a comfy chair for Brennan, but she had already sat on another one. Jared frowned and sat on it himself.

She looked around. They were quite close to the band and the dance floor. He kept looking at her with a smile on his lips. She felt she was being observed.

„What?" She asked with a light smile on her lips, when she couldn't ignore him anymore.

„Nothing. You just... are very beautiful. Are you sure there's nothing between you and Seeley?" He looked worried.

„We'll we're partners and friends and... Booth!"

„Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. The traffic's terrible... unbelievable, even at this time of the night!" He was also wearing a tux. He started to pull out the chair, when he noticed the way his partner looked. He's eyes grew wide while he tried to hide his expression.

„Wow, Bones... You... ehm.. That's a really pretty dress you've got..."

„Thanks Booth. Angela helped me pick it. We had to look through a lot of shops when we found the dress we both liked."

Oblivious to the real meaning of the compliment she looked at her dress and then at Booth and smiled to him, who had to smile back since, even though he hadn't really said that, her partner looked absolutely gorgeous. The colour of the dress emphasised her blue eyes. They kept looking at each others eyes for a little longer.

„Khm khm" Jared brought them back to reality. He was quite stunned to admit that those two had chemistry, whether they wanted to admit it or not... He decided not to be disturbed.

Booth sat down and took the menu from their round table. So did Brennan. Since now they both appeared to be deeply absorbed in their menus, Jared opened his.

After a while they had all ordered their food and were now sipping champagne. Jared had a ordered a bottle to celebrate his visit to the town. He asked Brennan about her job and bones while Booth played with his napkin and seemed to be in his own thoughts.

The two stopped talking about work. Jared stood up and went to her.

„Temperance, maybe you'd like to have a dance with me?" He offered her his hand.

Booth's head had snapped up just as quickly as his eyes glanced at her and back to the table. Brennan didn't notice that, but Jared did. Again, he ignored it.
She took his hand and they went to the dance floor, where the light was playing different colours and all the other couples were swaying to the slow jazz music. Booth watched as his brother twirled her partner around the floor. Her dress was sparkling on the shades of the colours and her skirt flew nicely around her legs. She was smiling while talking and dancing with Jared.

'She's having fun. What's the big deal about that?! She deserves it...' Booth thought. 'But why the hell did she have to choose my brother for that? Doesn't she know that Jared likes to flirt with all kinds of women? Well how could she know... Whoa! He really shouldn't be that close to her!' He continued to invigilate the pair and Jared had leaned in on her really closely, which she didn't seem to mind. 'Maybe I should tell her. But he's my brother and maybe I shouldn't, but Bones doesn't deserve this.'

Booth stood up, determined to talk to her.

„I told the bank teller to give me all the money and he was totally shocked! He already started to stuck it into the bag when I told him it was a joke!! He was not happy! Hehehehe hahaa" Jared told Brennan his usual joke while they were dancing.

„Heheh..." Brennan hadn't really got the point while Jared thought the joke was hilarious.

„Excuse me, may I?"

„Oh sure Seeley. Although I'm rather sad to let her go, but since she doesn't seem to mind..." Brennan looked a little uneasy, when Booth looked deeply into her eyes.

Jared released her hand and Booth took it while he put his other hand around her waist. The music was a little faster now.

„Soo... you like my brother?"

„Actually yes, he is rather interesting and he has a great sence of humor." 'I am so lying!'

She felt the warmth of Booth's hand on her waist and that kept her from thinking totally clear.

„Hah! Knew you'd like him!"

She turned to look at him in the eye.

„Why?"

„Since he's... you know... like me!" He was grinning.

„What's that supposed to mean? And I meant why you knew, not why I liked him. And that's not the reason by the way!" he still grinned a little, while he was looking at her, but then got serious and turned his gaze away from hers.

„Bones, I think you shouldn't hang out with Jared so easily."

The music stopped and he released her.

„What! Why? I think I'm perfectly entitled to decide this- on my own" She looked quite disturbed and crossed her hands on her chest.

„Besides, we were only dancing."

„I know my brother, Bones. He likes to flirt with women and then act like he never knew them."

„Well for your information, I am completely aware of that kind of behaviour around males. In case you haven't noticed, all my relationships have ended after a short period of time. I don't need you protection from men!" She pursed her lips.

„What I'm trying to say, is that don't take him seriously!"

„And what makes you think that I had any attention to do so? Were you watching us?!"...

If you made it that far, I'd like to congratulate you. You have fulfilled my purpose number 1. My purpos number 2 is to recive reviews and as before, I'd like you to help me with that. So, whether you enjoyed it, hated it, stayed neutral or found some mistakes in it... your opinion would be appreciated! I also tried to add more descriptions about the charaters, places etc. So I'd like to know, is it better? And thank you!
