AN: So….Its been forever and a day, and I'm sorry. Really! I'm in a Batman mood right now, so Bones has been off. Anywho, I can't believe that with only two chapters I have gotten so many reviews! You Bones fans are amazing. So, enough w/ the babbling, ya'll have waiting long enough!
(Oh, and this will turn into a PWP most likely…I don't think it really had one to begin with…or if it did, I don't remember what it was! ;)
Chapter Three: Good Morning, Jamaica!
Booth felt a breath against his ear and soft, prodding fingers pressing into his neck. He muttered incoherently into his pillow and attempted to shove his face deeper into his pillow.
A loud shriek cut through his brain.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" He sat up suddenly and found himself looking at a small monkey. The monkey bared his teeth at him and crawled onto his shoulders.
"Oh good, you're awake," Booth looked up from the monkey as Bones walked in. His mind went blank again. She was wearing a black wrap-a-around skirt over a turquoise bikini. His eyes traveled down her body, and back up to her face. Her hair was pulled back loosely, tendrils floating softly around her face.
"Wha…What's with the monkey?" he finally asked.
"Abu is your wake up call," she said as she tossed Abu a coin. The monkey snatched it out of midair and bared his teeth at her.
"Eh…Why is he doing that?"
"He's smiling, Booth. Let's go, its three o clock in the afternoon, you've slept long enough."
As long as I get to look at you all day…night…whatever, he thought, whoa, where'd THAT come from?
Abu leapt from his shoulder to Bones'. She petted the monkey on the head and walked out, "I'll meet you on the deck in ten minutes."
"Sure thing…" He looked out the open doors to the deck. He could hear the waves crashing against the shore, and the call of exotic birds in the air.
He smiled, he had definitely done the right thing.

Ten minutes later, he was sitting on the deck outside their room. He had on a pair of black swim trunks and a dark red, tropical style shirt, unbuttoned to reveal his chest. His feet were clad in flip flops and his sunglasses covered his closed eyes.
"Sleeping again, Booth?"
His eyes opened and he once again was allowed to bask in the sight of Bones in a way he though he'd never be able to.
"Just enjoying the sunshine."
"The sun shines in DC," she said with a frown, "why can't you enjoy it there?"
He smiled at her, "The sun shines everywhere, Bones, but it is much more enjoyable on vacation."
She looked at him like he was the most crazy person she had every met. "C'mon Bones, haven't you ever had a vacation before?"
She looked away determinedly and mumbled under her breath.
"Sorry Bones," Booth said cheerfully, "Didn't catch that!"
"No! Alright, NO! I've never been on a vacation before!"
He stared at her in shocked silence. He had never heard her lose it like that before.
"Not even when you were young?"
She stared sullenly out into the sea. "My foster parents never had time to take me on vacation, and my grandfather was too old when he took me in. My parents went on a trip before I was born, and after that, they had two kids and not the highest income around…so…we stayed home."
Booth looked down at her silently. In the last minute she had poured out more personal shit than in the entire time he knew her.
"I know sorry doesn't cut it, but I am…"
She smiled dimly at him.
"I'm also glad you're here Bones."
She arched her eyebrow at him. "You're just saying that."
Booth sighed. Impossible woman.

Booth sat alone at the bar. Jaspar, the man who had picked them up from the airport, was the owner and bartender. He reminded Booth of Sid, always knowing just what you needed.
Booth was nursing a large Jamaican alcoholic drink of some kind. It was good, he just didn't want to know what was in it.
"Yo, Seeley right, man?" Jaspar asked.
"Right, man."
Jaspar grinned at him, revealing a few gold teeth. Suddenly, a monkey landed on Jaspar's shoulder.
"My alarm clock belongs to you, eh?" Booth said wryly.
"Tempe asked if she could use him to get your sorry ass outta bed, man."
"Did she really say 'sorry ass'?"
"Yeah! She comes in here all purdy in her little black and turquoise get up, every man in the room staring at her, and she asks for the monkey! Said her partner was a very lazy man and needed something to shock him into waking. So I lent her Abu."
Booth's eyes were narrow. "Every man was looking at her?"
"Like she was something to eat man! She ignored it all, even the guy who slapped her butt!"
Booth choked on his drink. "Who was it, I'll kill them."
Jaspar threw his beaded braids over his shoulder and laughed. It was a deep laugh, a happy laugh.
"From what I gather, Seeley Booth, you and Tempe are in no way romantically involved, so you have no claim on her."
Booth stared at the black man like he had grown a second head.
"What, are you making a claim on her?" Booth growled. Where the hell was this coming from?
"No man, I'm married, and you, my friend, are very jealous."
Booth snarled at him.
"And lacking sleep. I am thinking that a nice black coffee will help," Jaspar poured Booth some coffee. Booth downed it in one shot.
"OW! DAMNIT!" He cried. Jaspar just continued to laugh.

Temperance Brennan stood under the flowing water of the shower and stared at her feet. Why had she spilled the vacation thing to Booth like that? She had no reason to tell him anything.
They were just work partners.
But he was an extremely attractive work partner.
"No, no he's not!" she muttered.
Oh yes he is, a voice in her head (that sounded oddly like Angela) whispered, He's attractive…and you want to jump his bones.
"I do NOT want to jump his Bones!" she snarled to herself.
Maybe you want him to jump yours…after all…you are his Bones…
"Shut up brain. I'm on vacation."
Sweetie, you wouldn't know a vacation if it bit you on the ass. Hey, there's an idea…
"No, it is not an idea."
Sure it is. Just think, lying on the beach, naked, next to each other…
"YARGH!"
She turned the shower off and climbed out. She quickly toweled herself off and wrapped the towel around her body. It didn't cover much, and didn't leave much to the imagination.
She opened the door, and ran straight into Booth.
AN: HAHAHAHA! Sorry, I couldn't help it. Anyway, I figure that even Bones needs to have an annoying little voice in her head.
Booth wants to jump Bones' bones….such a bad pun. I love me. Please review! You guys ROXORS THE BOXORS!
