The chuckle he got out of the others broke the ice and Booth felt more relaxed. "So, what are we watching?"

"It's a horror flick." Hodgins answered, sending a wink in his direction. "Let's get the tickets and as we load up on snacks," Hodgins volunteered himself and Angela for that task. "You two can find some seats."

As Booth and Brennan located their movie Hodgins and Angela ambled over to the snack shop.

"Up front or in the back?" Booth asked Brennan for her preference in seating. Brennan answered she had none. "Okay." Booth nodded, realizing the gorgeous woman was miles away and not even remotely interested.

Once they took their seats in a middle row, he instantly regretted his choice. A group of teenagers sat right behind them and they were loud. Some pushing ensued as the younger people fought for the same seat. In the mix up of flapping hands and playful shoves one of the guys fell forward, taking Brennan down with him and sent her sprawling onto Booth's lap.

"Hey!" Booth growled at the immature action, giving them a peace of his mind.

"S-sorry." The kid supplied before he quickly climbed over the row of seats.

"Are you okay?" Booth tentatively placed a hand on Brennan's shoulder. Her face was right in his lap and he wasn't too sure what to do. What if by moving her he ended up plastering her face on his business?

"Yeah. I'm fine" Brennan stumbled to respond. She placed a hand on his thigh to heave herself back into a sitting position.

"Whoa! Sweetie, couldn't you at least wait until the movie started?" Angela teased, not having missed the compromising position. Brennan felt the heat rise to her ears and was thankful that the lights were out and the previews started. Angela handed the pair a bucket of popcorn and drinks as she passed them to take her seat. Hodgins gave Booth a slap on the shoulder which got him a glare.

The movie began and Brennan sighed internally. It was the typical film, starting with a horny couple out in the middle of nowhere.

A few more minutes into the film and Brennan was ready to pass out. She was tired, sleepy and Booth smelled good. He was warm and radiated some kind of pull that had her unconsciously moving closer to him. She wasn't made of stone and that close up with his privates was a good feeling. The man was all muscle...she sighed again, this time audibly as she rested her head on her hand and closed her eyes.

Booth couldn't believe it. Brennan was sound asleep, resting her head against his left arm. Was he really that boring and unappealing to her? With a grunt Booth slouched lower in his seat, but he had to admit he liked her proximity. Ever since he laid eyes on her he felt a sense of familiarity. He felt like he knew her. Somehow, somewhere.

Shaking his head, Booth decided to just go with it. He was going to watch the movie and hoped his friend had better luck on his date.

B&B

She felt a hand rub against her arm and someone calling her name.

"Temperance." Booth tried again, giving Brennan a soft squeeze. In the darkness he couldn't appreciate the blue of her eyes as she sleepy stared up at him. "Come on. We gotta go." He stood and held her hand so she could follow.

"Wha- is the movie over?" Brennan mumbled as she allowed Booth to lead the way.

"It is for us." Booth grumbled as he followed the usher out to the hall.

"What's going on?" Brennan asked as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Angela was arguing with an employee, presumably the manager.

"We got kicked out." Booth filled her in on the ongoing shushing battle their friends started with the teens seated behind them. "One thing led to another and soon popcorn and drinks flew between both parties."

"Oh." Brennan blinked, not believing she'd slept through that ruckus.

"I'm so sorry." Angela apologized to her friend and Booth once she ended her 'discussion' with the manager.

"I'm sorry, too." Hodgins piped in. Not wanting the outing to be over and as a form of apology he suggested they went out for a drink.

"I know the perfect place." Angela told the guys to follow her.

"Sweetie, I can't believe you fell asleep. Jack's friend is totally hot and he's into you." Angela chastised as she drove out of the parking lot.

"I'm very tired." Brennan decided to avoid the whole 'he likes you and you should totally buy a ticket on that ride' conversation. "I'll just take a cab…"

"No,no,no." Angela shook her head. "I know Jack and I got carried away and fought with some kids, but I want you to have a good time."

"I'm afraid I'm not very good company right now." Brennan's eyes were closing again. Angela shook her head. It wasn't every day that she got her friend out to have some fun.

"Dude, I already said I was sorry." Hodgins commented as he kept Angela's car in sight.

"You started making out the second the movie started and then you dumped your popcorn at some kid just because he made kissy sounds at you!" Booth was ready to head home and escape the disaster. "Look, I get it. You're interested in this woman. You two can go have some drinks or whatever and I'll just…"

"What about Angie's friend? You can't do this to me now." Hodgins pleaded.

"I'm sure Temperance won't mind." Booth said defensively.

B&B

Founding Fathers was lively and Booth surveyed the place from his position at the bar. He'd never heard of the place, not that he went out much, but it was nice. He sipped his beer as he returned to their table, where Brennan waited.

"Here you go." He handed her a beer and sat across from her.

"Thanks." Brennan took a long swing, not believing she got talked into staying.

Silence fell between them again and Booth scanned the area. He didn't see either of the love birds and groaned. Just his luck to get ditched.

"Seeley?" The question made him turn in the other direction. "Oh my God! It's been so long." A dark skinned woman approached.

"Camille Saroyan." Booth whistled in admiration.

Brennan suddenly felt a wave of territoriality wash over her. She knew she had no right being jealous and if she were honest with herself it was frightening to feel such a sense of possession over a man she'd just met.

"How's it going?" The woman asked Booth, taking him all in. It seemed the man got better as the years went by.

"Good." Booth answered, rising to greet the woman from his past with a kiss on the cheek. "You? How's New York treating ya?" The woman laughed, giving his arm a playful swat. The two fell into an animated conversation and Brennan knew she was extra there. When she made a move to leave the booth, he kicked himself for not introducing the two women before. "This is a good friend of mine, Cam." Booth told Brennan. "She's…" Before he could introduce her, Brennan cut him off.

"She's just leaving." Brennan waved at the two and headed for the door. Booth excused himself to go after Brennan.

The night breeze felt good against her heated skin. She hadn't taken many steps away from the entrance when she felt a hand on her elbow.

"Temperance, where are you going?" Booth wondered if he'd done something to upset her. It was difficult to tell since she'd seemed uninterested and distant all night.

"I know I haven't been the best company tonight. I'm going home." Brennan said she'd hail a cab and call Angela.

"Look," Booth's firm voice stopped her in her tracks. "I guess we got off on the wrong foot here." He realized he was still holding onto her and released her. "Let me make it up to you." Booth offered to take her home, giving her a blinding smile as he assured her honor would be respected.

She couldn't have turned him down if she'd wanted to. That charming smile was disarming. "Alright."
