Brennan POV

She was angry.

But she went with him anyway. It was a nice guy but his attitude was too arrogant and he looked like the usual stupid FBI agents that she had to deal with once in a while.

"Let me do a phone call and I'll go with you." She sounded tired, it was clear that she didn't want to go with him.

She walked away to call Angela so he wouldn't hear what she was saying, she wasn't going to share anything about her personal life with him.

"Angela, could you take care of Christine a little more, a guy from the FBI came to the university to talk to me about a case they need help with."

"Of course sweetie, we'll be in the lab, call me if you need something." Angela simply answered, realising that Brennan was stressed enough for more questioning.

"Thanks, I'll talk to you later."

They went to the FBI building and he gave her the forensic information about the case and asked her to tell him all she could find about it as soon as she did.

When she arrived at the Jeffersonian she hurry to see her baby, the time she spent with Booth, which was the name of the agent, had left her a weird feeling, almost a nice one.

But when she saw her daughter, everything that was in her mind disappeared.

Booth POV

It was great to have the opportunity to know her better, even if it was just as temporal partners.

He could see that there was something different with her but couldn't say what. He just hoped to be able to find out what it was.

Cam had told him she was the best in her field but he wanted to prove it so he didn't tell her what he knew about the victim hoping that she would figure it out by her own.

After a few hours, she came back and told him what she had figured it out, all the facts he already knew.

"...She is either: a swimmer, a singer or an asthmatic or any combination there are." He showed her the video and after that, the investigation began.

Everything happened as it had to for the dam to break, they begin to get closer while working together, then they go to the field together and she punches the judge.

Caroline tells him he had to fire her and he knows that he needs to be drunk for that.

That night was almost the same as the first but they were together the whole time, they drink, he fires her, they flirt and they go out just like the last time.

"I got something to confess." He felt that he had to tell her, it was important for him that she knew all about him since the beginning.

"What? Is it the fact that you are a direct descendent of John Wilkes Booth, I already know that."

"Wait, wait a second. How do you know about that?"

"It's for your bones' structure."

"Just... Just keep that under your hat, okay, for now, all right."

He was looking right into her eyes, getting lost in the beauty of them. "What I wanted to confess was... see I have a gambling problem but... I'm dealing with it."

"Why did you feel you had to tell me?"

"You know, I just feel like... this is going somewhere."

"Why did you feel like this is going somewhere?"

"I just... I feel like I'm gonna kiss you."

While talking they were getting closer and by the end of it they were kissing, the two of them could feel the sparks that the kiss produced.

To both was the best kiss of their life and was accompanied by a sense of dejavù, very uncommon to her.

After they broke the kiss she left, trying to keep herself in her senses and gain the control that she had lost because of the huge amount of feelings produced by the kiss.

He went to his house, thinking about how this had happened again.

And she went to Angela's to pick her baby but thinking about the kiss that had taken her breath away.

And the dam was broke...

And she was mad at him for firing her. For fired her team.

He was mad at her for leaving without a reason.

They didn't work together anymore after that, both too angry to see what was in front of them. The energy that people could feel around them was gone. They couldn't see each other without fighting and they barely solve the case without killing each other. So when it was over they were both relieved that they didn't have to see each other again.

She was back to her normal life, identifying ancient corpses, hanging out with Angela and taking care of her daughter.

He was back to work for the FBI and to see his son every other weekend. With the exception that he did not bet again.

But it wasn't exactly like before because they couldn't get the other out of their minds, even when a year had already gone by.
