Tempe sat in Angela's car and as they drove to the mall and answered all sorts of annoying questions, all asking about her dream, but she made sure to leave the part about Booth out. As they parked the car and headed towards the mall entrance Angela was explaining how bringing her back would jog a few more memories.
They walked in and to Tempe's surprise the mal laws mostly empty, except for a few people here and there it was clear, most likely because normal people were working while she was forced to shop with her friend.
They walked some distance before Tempe noticed a store and before seeing which one it was she headed over to it and looked inside. Lingerie and other sexy clothing were in the store and a sign in the corner that read 'Victoria Secret' told her where she was.
Tempe walked over to a black lacy garment and starred at it, suddenly a blurry vision made its way into her head.
"So what do you think about this one, sweetie?" Angela asked taking her to the same offit.
"I don't know Ange, it seems a little revealing." She said looking it over.
"Who cares? Booth will make sure your not I nit for long."
"ANGELA!" Tempe screamed.
"What, can't I tell the truth?"
"I don't need to hear this." She said covering her ears and headed towards the exit.
"Wait! Sweetie, just buy something!"
Tempe walked back into the store and grabbed a bra and underwear set from a rack and walked towards the clerks counter, getting ready to pay.
"Bren? Sweetie, you ok?" Angela asked pulling Tempe out of her recent memory.
Tempe looked over to Angela, fear all over her face, she muttered a 'No' and ran for the door and out of the mall running as fast as she could for the car. As she reached the area, she turned to see Angela following not too far behind and began to ask questions.
"What the hell happened in there?"
"I had a memory." She blurted out and got in the car as Angela opened it.
"About what?"
"Never mind, just take me home."
Angela, knowing Tempe was upset about something, didn't ask questions and drove Tempe home. as they reached the house, Tempe got out of the car, mumbled her thanks and walked inside, while Angela drove away with her phone to her ear, most likely calling Booth to tell him not to stop by the museum.
Tempe burst through the front door, stormed through the living room and went directly to her room, ignoring David as he called her name and asked her what was wrong. She was the last person she could talk to and the only person who would tell her everything she wanted to know she had just pushed away.
Tempe paced her room trying to make sense of her memory, wishing something, anything would come back to mind, however, she was pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on the door.
"Go away!" she called.
"Tempie let me in!" the voice demanded, she knew it wasn't David, but also knew it was male.
"I'm busy." She said trying to figure out who it was.
"Tempie let me in." the voice called again and Tempe threw the door open and embraced the man who stood there.
"Russ! I'm so happy to see you." She cried holding him close as if he was her life support and she wanted to live forever.
"Glad to see you Tempie. How have you been?"
"horrible." She said pulling away and letting him in her room, closing the door behind him.
"Yeah I heard about your accident, and Jeeze, it looks like you were hit by a truck." He said touching the bruises on her face she winced a bit and he pulled away.
"I feel worse." She said throwing herself on the bed and smiled when Russ copied her actions on the other side.
They both lay there, feet hanging off the edge and their heads next to one another, cheeks touching and the sibling bond restored. It was quiet for a while as they lay there and Tempe yawned.
"Tired?" he asked noticing she was drifting into sleep.
"Yeah I had a rough night." She half lied; though it had been rough she had received plenty of sleep.
"Why don't I leave and let you get some rest?" he said getting up.
"Don't leave me." she said extending her hand for him to take, surprisingly he picked her up and placed her on the bed right and covered her up.
"I'm not going anywhere; I'm staying here for a while."
"How long?"
"As long as it takes for your memory to come back." He whispered in her ear and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Now, sleep."
Tempe closed her eyes and relaxed as Russ exited the room and headed towards David.
"She's been acting odd lately, you know?"
"Odd how?"
"She doesn't talk to me; I hardly used to see her between work and all. Now she's off of work, but I still hardly see her."
"David, she's going through a rough time. You of all people should know that. Just give her a break and when she begins to remember it will be different."
"Yeah I guess your right."
"What do you say we get something to eat? I'm starving."
"Sounds good. She'll be alright alone though right?"
"She'll be fine she can take care of herself."
Tempe had finally fallen into a deep sleep when she began to dream again. This time she found herself in a bed, but she wasn't alone. Looking up from the bare chest she laid on she saw Booth looking back at her.
"Something wrong?" he asked her his arm that was around her waist stroked her hip.
"You ever think what were doing is wrong?" she asked.
"No, I know it is I don't have to think."
"I was just thinking that's all."
"Do you want to end this?"
"No, I've never been happier than when I'm with you, it's just……if we get caught what will happen?"
"I'm not sure."
She was silent for a while before speaking again. "Just never mind. He'll never find out." She mumbled kissing him softly.
Tempe woke up with a start and found herself sitting up in bed, the room coated in darkness from the night sky and the moonlight shone through the window. What was going on? Where these things dreams? Or memories? She didn't know, but knew someone who did. Tempe lay back down on her bed and closed her eyes, knowing tomorrow she would confront Angela with every question she had.
