Chapter Three- Holiday in the Sun

Angela walks into Brennan's office to check up on her friend, but is shocked to find Brennan making out with Booth on the couch, Brennan sitting on top, Booth on the bottom, Booth's first four shirt buttons were undone so you could see his partially hairy chest, something Angela found particularly sexy on a man, but she wasn't one to perve on her best friend's man.

Angela didn't know what to say, she didn't know whether she should interrupt them or just let them be. She decides on the first as she had to talk to Brennan urgently. She cleared her throat. Tempe looked up and realising her position she awkwardly gets off of Booth and stands up.

"Um we were just…" starts Tempe, but Angela cuts her friend off,

"Its ok sweetie, I know what you guys were doing, and that's ok" she says, looking at Booth, who has lipstick marks all around his mouth and on his neck.

Booth feels the awkwardness; he gets up off of Brennan's couch, kisses Tempe on the cheek then excuses himself out the door. As Booth leaves, Hodgins and Zach stare at him weirdly, Booth just lets it go.

Back in Tempe's office, Angela has the biggest grin on her face that Tempe had ever seen; bigger than the time Brennan was kissing Agent Sully in the lab, but this was a long time coming, Temperance and Seeley were finally acting on their feelings toward each other and Angela was over-the-moon happy for her best friend.

"So I take it you two made up?"

"Yeah, he just didn't want this to happen intoxicated"

"Aww that's so romantic. So are you going to take him to Jamaica?"

"Yeah we're leaving tomorrow. So is there anything I have to look at, any remains?"

"Nope"

"Oh, then I guess I'll go home and pack, I'll call Booth" she says as she grabs her handbag and jacket and walks out the door.

"Send me a postcard" yells Angela as Tempe leaves the Jeffersonian building.

Back at her apartment, Tempe was packing for the humid climate of Jamaica as the door bell rang. She chucked her bikini in the suitcase and went to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw a distorted version of Booth. She smiled as she unlocked the door and opened it for him.

"Hey Bones" he said in a cheerful tone "packed yet?"

"I was just in the process of it" she told him as she walked back into the bedroom to continue packing. Booth followed in close proximity after dumping his suitcase on the floor near the front door.

"Got your bikini? Jamaica's nice for swimming this time of year, water's nice and warm" he told her.

"I packed my bikini, but no perving or wolf whistling ok" she said, fixing a stare at him with narrow eyes.

"I promise, no perving or wolf whistling"

"Good" she said, whilst rummaging through her underwear draw, taking out almost all her knickers and a few bras. Booth looked on with a slight grin on his face. As Tempe turned around she noticed his face and knew he must have been thinking of her in those items of clothing.

"What did I say about perving?"

"I wasn't perving, I was daydreaming, there's a difference"

"Still, you were perving on me in your dream"

"Damn it Bones, can't a guy be a guy"

Tempe just rolled her eyes at him and continued packing.

The next morning they were at the airport bright and early, their flight was due to leave at 10 am but they had to be checked in by 7 so to pass the time Booth and Brennan were seated at a Starbucks sipping coffee.

"Man I hate early mornings" said Booth, the coffee obviously hadn't kicked in yet, and he laid his head on his hands on the table and shut his eyes.

"I do too but just think, in less than 24 hours time we'll be swimming in warm Turquoise Ocean and laying on white sand"

"Mm ocean, sand" mumbled Booth with not much enthusiasm.

Temperance smiled at her partner who was now her lover, she loved him. She placed her hand on his arm and stroked his arm hair. Booth looked up at her.

"Sorry" he said "I'm not a morning person, I'll try and wake up now" he said, rubbing his eyes.

"It's ok" replied Tempe, sort of laughing at him.

Before they knew it their flight had been called and they were making their way through security. Booth always hated taking off his belt and shoes and watch and sometimes his gun. On this occasion he had to take off all but the latter, he wasn't armed, he was on vacation with his best friend, the woman he loved, his 'Bones'.

Tempe stood on the other side of the security barrier waiting for Booth to put all his effects back on his body, she couldn't help but laugh as he complained and tried to use his charm smile on the female airport security officer, but it didn't work, she was probably used to men hitting on her, she was the attractive type.

Ten minutes later Tempe and Booth were walking down the jet way onto the plane, finally on their way to Jamaica. Once they were in their seats, Tempe on the window, Booth in the middle seat fiddling with the seat belt. Tempe observed with a chuckle then opened her novel and started reading. Once Booth was settled he got out a "The Green Lantern" Graphic Novel and laid back in his seat.

"How can that possibly keep u amused for a few hours, that would take me a few minutes to read" said Tempe, watching Booth with his graphic novel, she knew he loved the things.

"I'm a slow reader Bones"

"Did you have dyslexia as a child?" she asked, getting squinty, as Booth would call it when she uses big scientific words and when she analysed him. He put the graphic novel down on his lap and looked at her.

"Bones, can you not, just for a few hours, be a squint"

"But I'm a doctor, I'm just finding out as to why you read so slowly"

"Please can you not be a Doctor or a scientist or a squint at least for a few hours, just be…" searching for the right word "my girlfriend" he added.

Tempe looked at him with a smile then laid back in her seat and picked up her book and started reading again.

Twenty hours later Booth and Brennan were already checked into their hotel and had decided to go for a walk in the local village, which was Tempe's idea, she loved being near other cultures. She always bought a souvenir from where ever she went, something made by the local people. They were strolling along in the market when Booth spotted the perfect necklace for Tempe, he bought it and decided to surprise her with it.

"What do you think Bones?" he asked as he held the necklace around her neck as she was talking to a villager, the local man handed her a small hand held mirror so that she could see what the necklace looked like on her. The look on her face said it all.

"Oh Booth, it's beautiful, look at the colours and the fine work, its amazing, thankyou" she said with a huge smile on her face.

"Your welcome Bones" he replied, planting a kiss on her cheek and handing the mirror back to the local man.

Tempe knew from that moment on she would wear the necklace Booth bought for her the rest of their holiday, even if it didn't match the clothes she was wearing, after all, Jamaica was all about colour. They walked hand in hand through the market, looking at the various objects for sale, ranging from musical instruments to bizarre things on sticks that Booth figured had to be food, but he surely wasn't going to be eating it.

They grabbed some lunch, something which they knew what they were eating, and headed down to the nearby beach.
