CHAPTER THREE
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Temperance's eyes fluttered open by the sudden light. And those noises, what the hell was going on? First she didn't realize where she was. This wasn't her bed. She lifted her head a little and when she saw Booth everything came back to her. Except the fact that she was now lying cuddled up against him, with her head buried under his chin, her arms wrapped around him, and their legs entangled.
Booth started to wake up as well and when his sleepy eyes met Bones, they just stared at each other startled.
Suddenly a loud shout of excitement made them both turn their heads to the now very opened elevator door.
"I knew it! You are soooo cute together, oh sweetie!" Angela shrieked with a huge smile on her face.
Temperance was now fully aware of what was going on. When she had recovered from the chock, she quickly tried to move away from Booth. She got up on her feet and brushed the dust off her clothes. Booth did the same, and Temperance hurried out of the elevator before he would say anything.
"You guys were caught in the power failure, you spent the night in the elevator," Angela stated the obvious, so Temperance didn't think she would have to answer that. Besides she was way to ashamed right now anyway. She couldn't believe Angela had found them like this, now she would never leave her alone again!
She glanced at Booth who walked up to them. God, this was embarrassing!
"Slept well?" Booth asked with a smug smile on his lips.
"Of course she did, she was more or less on top of you!" Angela answered before Temperance had a chance to talk. She gave her friend a smile. "It's nothing to be ashamed of sweetie; it's obvious that you and Booth have feelings for each other, so it's…"
"Ange, shut up will you?" Temperance cut her off. This situation was bad enough; she didn't need Angela to make it even worse.
"Are you blushing Bones?" Booth asked amused. He was very good at teasing others, but right now he felt rather embarrassed himself. But he would never admit that out loud.
"I am not!"
"Whatever you say!"
"I have to work now, I'm late already, Angela, can you drive me?"
"You sure you don't want to go with Booth?" Angela couldn't help but tease her.
"Yes, I'm sure," Temperance snapped, not getting the joke her friend was trying to make.
"Alright then, let's go."
Temperance nodded. She started to walk towards the door. But stopped and gave Booth a look.
"I'm… we… see you later Booth," she finally said. She turned around and walked after Angela out through the door.
"Sweetie, he misses you already," Angela said in a sing song voice.
"Why would he?"
Angela sighed. "Oh Tempe, everybody else see it, but not you."
"See what?"
"That guy is soooo in love with you!"
"Ange, just because…" Temperance cut herself off. Her first reaction had been to deny it, but what if Angela was right? She was almost afraid to think of it, because it was not only Booth who felt something. She had felt something too… Temperance tried to ignore it. She was just imagining things. She didn't have any feelings for Booth, she couldn't have!
"What were you going to say?" Angela asked with a smile.
"Nothing… forget about it…" Temperance mumbled. She turned to look out through the window of the car as Angela drove off. Her thoughts drifted to Booth and a smile appeared on her lips, making Angela even more certain that she was right! Tempe loves Booth – Booth love Tempe! Yapp, that was it, Angela smiled to herself. She just wished she could come up with a way to make them admit it. Angela nodded to herself, yes; she would come up with something!
