The next day, they got the date for the training program. It was the following Friday, and throughout the weekend. It was now Tuesday. She went to Cam's office to tell her about it. Cam grinned when Temperance explained the situation.
"What? You and Seeley handcuffed together for 3 days? Now that is mean. I'm telling you, I wouldn't have done that even while we were still sleeping together. 3 days? That's really hard!" Temperance shrugged her shoulders in response.
"That's what I said. But Sweets told us he would split us up if we did not take part. So, we had no other choice."
Cam patted her on the arm. "You two will get through it, I have no doubt about that. Good Luck!" she exclaimed.
Temperance gave her a fake grin. "Yes, I think luck would be a good thing."
Angela came by her office an hour later.
"Hey Sweetie, you know what you are going to do at Saturday? There is a really hot new club opening, and you are coming with me!" she said with a cheery voice.
Temperance shook her head. "No Angela. Not on Saturday. You can't imagine how much I wish I could go with you. I really do! But I've got… something else to do…"
Angela looked at her friend, puzzled. "Wait. You say you desperately want to come but you can't? What's happened that's so important? I thought that you'd tell me you didn't want to go to that club?"
Temperance sighed. Angela would find out anyway, so she might as well tell her. She gave her a short summary of the last meeting with Sweets. Angela squealed and started to dance around the office. "Sweetie, that is so hot! You and Booth handcuffed together. That's such a good idea! I can't believe it didn't come from me!"
Temperance rolled her eyes. She had known that Angela would react this way. "I think it's horrible. I've come to like my own personal space. I hate the thought of 3 days having no personal space at all. Having a man that close all the time…"
Angela grinned. "Yeah, but what a man! You are such a lucky girl. I think there are plenty of girls that would like to trade places with you." Temperance sighed. She was not sure how she would be going to make it through the three days.
On Thursday, Temperance packed her things and left work early. Angela hugged her tightly and said: "Don't worry too much, Sweetie. It's not a monster, it's just Booth. The 3 days will be over before you realize that they've even begun!"
Temperance tried to fake a smile. She did not feel quite positive about the whole thing. As she arrived home, she took a bath, relaxing in the bubbly water. She washed her hair and then got out of the bathtub. She checked her watch. Almost 8pm. She hadn't felt very hungry before, but now she thought that she could use a little something to eat. There was a knock on the door. She opened it and saw Booth balancing some packages of Thai food on his hip. She couldn't help but smile. "Come in Booth. How on Earth did you know that I was absolutely starving?"
He carried the food into the kitchen, and began putting it onto plates. He gave her his best charm smile. "I know you very well, Bones. So well that I know that you'd never refuse Thai food!." She smiled along with him. "Of course."
After they had eaten all the food, they sat silently at the couch, both lost in their thoughts.
So tomorrow the experiment will start. I really like it, when he comes over like tonight. When he brings Thai food, and we just sit here and chat or think in silence. But being closely cuffed to him for three days? How will I be able to stand that? With no possibility of getting away from him? Because I sometimes feel that urge nowadays. I felt it after the kiss. My body wanted to stay, but my mind screamed to get away from him. What would have happened had I not managed to get away? It would have been even more embarrassing. But why do I think it was embarrassing at all? If I trusted my gut, it felt so completely right. But it shouldn't have felt that way at all. He's my partner. I shouldn't feel this way about kissing him. I shouldn't be kissing him at all. But I sometimes feel these things, when he even looks at me. God, how I hate his charm smiles. They make me feel kind of weak. I don't want to feel weak because of someone looking at me. Because of him looking at me. I have no idea how I'm going to be able to survive this!
So, tomorrow the experiment will start. I wonder how long it will take until we start fighting. She is such a beautiful woman, but she can be like poison sometimes. I've always enjoyed her company, but I don't know if I can handle her for three days without anyone else there, to interrupt us. I'm just a man, and she is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. When she kissed me in her office it felt so right. Like a dream come true. If we had been alone, I would not have just let her slip away. I would have claimed more. I think she wanted it too. I felt her body reacting. It was really hot. But when I opened my eyes again, the magic was gone and it was just embarrassing. I was at the edge of letting myself go, of being totally carried away. That's not something that you should experience with your working partner. But the problem is, I've wanted to experience this with her for a long time now. And I want it to happen again. That could really get a problem when I have her handcuffed to my side. She would not be very amused with my thoughts. She'd most definitely try and hurt me! I have to be very careful. I really don't know how I will survive this!
He finally got up. "I think I'm going home now and try to get some sleep. You should, too. The next three days will be very strange, but we will get by. We always do."
She nodded. "Yes, I know. Good night, Booth."
He left her at the door. She watched him walk down the hallway, than she went inside. She went to bed, and after an hour, she finally fell asleep.
