Tempe's mind went into over drive, thinking over ever answer and consequence behind it, at the moment her mind was screaming NO! And her heart was giving out a faint YES!
Slowly Tempe stopped listening to her heart, which wasn't hard seeing as how she only started listening to it a few months back, and concentrated on her mind. Everything told her to say no, she wasn't sure if it was love or just some other feelings.
She opened her mouth to speak, but then one thought came to her mind, it's what Angela had said earlier that day. "Use your heart, not your head." For the first time on a long time, Tempe shut her mind off and listened to her heart.
Tempe looked down to Booth and noticed an odd expression on his face, he was starring at her wondering if she heard him right, most likely because she had been silent for a long time.
"Yes." She said smiling as he jumped up, slipped the ring on her finger and embraced her, kissing her deeply and whispered how much he loved her.
"I love you too." She said hugging him tightly.
Later that night Booth and Tempe arrived home, happily engaged; needless to say. They were embraced and kissing one another as they entered the door, closed it behind them, and made their way to the bedroom. Never once pulling apart. Slowly they fell on the bed, ripping the clothes off of one another.
They next morning, Tempe woke up to her phone ringing on her nightstand by her head. She slowly opened her eyes and upon gaining consciousness she realized she was alone in the bed. She soon leaned over to grab her phone and picked it up.
"Brennan." She mumbled tiredly.
"Hey, sweetie." Angela said happily. "Are you still asleep?"
"I was." She mumbled sitting up.
"What on earth made you sleep so late?"
"Booth." She said smiling.
"Well, I was going to ask you if you wanted to go shopping, but never mind you seem busy enough as it is." She said a smile could be heard in her voice.
"Angela." Tempe groaned looking around the room for Booth.
"What? I merely stated you seem busy." There was a silence followed by her talking again.
"I got to go, sweetie. Jake broke something." She said and that was followed by scolds in the distance.
Jake had been her dog of, what was it? Two weeks? And already he seemed to be a handle, but he was only three months old and nothing better was expected of him.
Tempe got out of bed, wrapped the blanket around her form and walked into the living room, hoping to see Booth somewhere nearby, but saw she was home alone. As she walked into the kitchen she noticed the clock read 1:46 pm.
Quickly she rushed into the bathroom, showered, changed and left the house. As she drove the car, she looked to the digital clock that read 2:56. She had four minutes to make it down town and to the restaurant she was supposed to meet Booth at. After their long night last night, they had agreed to have lunch during his break. Tempe had stayed home the whole day because the museum and lab were closed for inventory and things, no matter how much she wanted to work, she couldn't. At least not for the next week.
Five minutes seven minutes after two she arrived at the restaurant and had the waiter take her to a table Booth was already sitting at. He got up, kissed her softly on the lips and pulled out her chair for her.
"I'm sorry I'm late." She mumbled smiling at him.
"What happened?" he asked confused.
"I over slept. If it hadn't been for Angela calling me I'd most likely still be asleep." She said a little ashamed.
"I understand. I almost fell asleep in my office today. That's what we get for staying up till three in the morning."
"yup." She said picking up her menu.
Once they ordered they just sat there talking about anything that came to mind, happy to be in the others company. They had also agreed on a wedding date, ok well not really, but they knew it was going to be sometime in the spring, most likely April or May.
After lunch, Booth returned to the FBI headquarters and Tempe called Angela and agreed to go shopping with her, she still had to tell her she was engaged and that would lead to a long discussion, one of Tempe talking and Angela listening.
