It was the next morning. Temperance was practically on Seely as she laid comfortably asleep. He woke her and caressed her bare back. She murmured softly and ran her fingers slowly on his chest.

"Morning," he kissed the top of her head. "Are you alright?" He asked, worried she might have regretted their night of passion again.

She sat up and smiled. Temperance leaned forward and kissed him hard on the lips. "Are you hungry?"

He looked at her in amazement. "Uh, you know, Tempe, truthfully? I'm a little sore right now," he said in embarrassment.

She laughed. "No silly, I meant, I thought a Sunday brunch would be nice right now. You know, go down somewhere to the Plaza and have something to eat. I'm famished and I don't remember when the last time I've eaten."

"Oh. I just thought, you know, never mind." He kissed her lightly on her cheek.

"I know what you thought. Come on. Get up." She yanked him out of bed. "I'll fix the bed while you go take a shower. I'll go in after you. Unless, you want me in there with you," she flashed a naughty smile.

"Thought you wanted to go out for brunch? If you join me, we'll never make it out of the house. And I..."

"I know, a little sore. I'll wait my turn."

Booth just took a sip of his coffee when he spotted Angela at the entrance of the restaurant with a male friend waiting to be seated. He cussed under his breath.

"Don't look now, Bones, but, Angela just walked in with one of her boyfriends," he warned her.

Temperance slightly looked over her shoulder. "It's alright, Seely, she was bound to have found out sooner or later. I would have preferred later. By now, she probably called the rest of the guys."

"And you can handle that? Us? Together?"

"What do you think? I can't hide from it. Besides, I think everyone was waiting for it to happen." Temperance leaned across their table and kissed him. "Yes, I can handle us, them. Everyone. As long as you're by my side."

Temperance rose from her chair and waved at Angela as she and her friend followed the hostess.

"Tempe, Booth," she acknowledged them politely with a glimmer in her eyes. "I'm glad you two took time off to come to eat, sweeties." She winked at the both of them.

Temperance hugged her friend and whispered into her ears. "Well, yes. After all those extra curriculum activities Booth and I participated in, we were famished."
