It has been a long time ago since a uploaded a new chapter, so I hope you guys like this one....please REVIEW! I'm trying to get back into this story, tell me what you would like to happen next?

Booth walked into Brennan's building. He was feeling nervous, not that he would ever admit it. A part of him wanted Brennan's date to be a complete idiot, so that she would see that Paul wasn't right for her, and that she would realize that he was the one she should spend time with. The other half of him wanted Brennan to be happy; he didn't want her to go through more worthless guys that didn't deserve her, so if this guy would truly make her happy maybe that's how things are suppose to be.

Instead of knocking, Booth pulled out the key Brennan had given him in case of an emergency. He used it regularly when visiting her apartment, and she used the one for his apartment as well. He opened the door, and threw his jacket on the couch. The sound of the piece of clothing hitting the couch caught Paul's attention; he poked his head through the door of the kitchen "Temp…who are you!?" Paul saw Booth and immediately thought that it was someone breaking into Brennan's apartment. She had told him about the numerous times criminals had tried to kill her so when he saw a guy opening Brennan's door when it was closed his mind went into overdrive.

"Relax, I'm…" Booth tried to explain calmly.

"Temperance!" Paul quickly picked up a knife from one of the counters in the kitchen and cautiously moved to one of the walls "I have a gun, you know?"He said with a not so confident tone.

"Do you?" Booth tried to hide his smile as he looked at Paul. He looked very agitated at the moment, but the guy seemed really harmless.

"Temperance has one!"He swung the knife in front of himself even though he was not even close to Booth "Temperance!"

"What's going on? Is everything okay?"Brennan came running from her room, a towel wrapped around her body. She looked at Paul that was shaking and swinging the knife in front of his chest. "Wha..." Her head turned to the other end of the room.

"Hi Bones" Booth smiled.

"Booth..." Even though she didn't want to smile back she couldn't stop herself. She directed her eyes to Paul who was still very confused by her calm reaction to the stranger in her living room "What did you do to him?" She said turning back to Booth.

Booth didn't hear, he was too busy admiring Brennan in that short white towel, he couldn't help but following her long legs with his eyes. The ends of her hair were still a little bit wet, and some drops of water were traveling down her neck and disappearing in her chest under the towel.

"Booth" Brennan crossed her arms in front of her breasts, shifting the towel slightly.

"You look really beautiful Bones" He brought his eyes to hers "Really beautiful "He said smiling.

She smiled proudly, but the smile quickly disappeared as she saw Paul's confused face "What happened?"

"Nothing" Said Booth shrugging "I think he is a little unstable"

"He broke into your apartment!" Said Paul pointing his finger at Booth.

"I used the key" Said Booth pulling the key from his pocket.

Brennan turned around and started walking back to her room "I'm putting on clothes"

"Wait? You know this guy?" Asked Paul.

Brennan stopped and turned "Paul this is my partner Agent Booth. Booth this is Paul"

"Hey" Booth extended his hand.

"Hi" Said Paul shaking his hand "Sorry about that"

"Naa" Booth shook his head "I didn't mean to make you pee your pants"

"Wha..."Paul smiled and shook his head "I wasn't scared, just protecting Temperance, you know?"

"Don't get it wrong Paul, protecting Bones is my job" Booth moved to the kitchen, grabbed a beer from the fridge and leaned against the wall.

"So…"Paul crossed his arms in front of his chest "You have the keys to her apartment?" He asked trying to sound casual, even though he was very jealous, Brennan would barely let him stay the night after he had already satisfied her biological urges.

"I told you, it's my job to protect her"

"She's fine with me"

Booth laughed as he took a sip from his beer "Yeah, you sure seemed really protective a couple of minutes ago" He said sarcastically.

Paul turned around and sat on the couch, Booth followed right away.

"So, what do you do?" Asked Booth as he placed the beer on the coffee table.

"What do you mean?"

"Your job? Do you even have a job?"

"I'm a college professor" Paul felt very proud of his profession, Brennan found it very interesting and he was hoping that Booth would too.

"Really?"

"Yes, really" Said Paul smiling proudly.

"Students must really make fun of you" Said Booth as he took a look at Paul and reached for his beer. The smile on Paul's face faded "Because you are a teacher you know, students don't like teachers"

"I liked teachers when I was in school" Came Brennan's voice as she walked back to both of the guys "None of us would be here if it wasn't for some of our teachers….but I must say that in most cases I was more intelligent than the professor"

"You are more intelligent than most people Bones" Said Booth as he stood up.

"That's true" Agreed Brennan.

Booth rolled his eyes "You are not suppose to agree Bones, that's not very humble"

"But it's a fact" Brennan placed her hands in her hips, a small smile starting to form on her lips.

Booth started to smile too, they both knew that they were about to begin bickering and even though neither of them would agree they both enjoyed it.

"Are we going to have dinner?" Paul felt obligated to break the tension between the two.

Brennan's smile disappeared "Yes, of course"

Before Brennan could walk away into the kitchen Booth reached and grabbed her arm, he got close and whispered into her ear "I would've won that argument" His voice and breathe that close to her made her tremble and smile at the same time.

Brennan tilled her head to his face and smiled mischievously "This discussion isn't over"

"Good"
