I hope you'll all decide this is worth the wait and enjoyed the 3 one shots I wrote in the meantime.

Chapter 4:
When you Need Girl Talk and the First Date

Brennan was sitting in her office just a little preoccupied and it wasn't with the very exciting According to Jim episode she had seen that morning.

Angela walked in and saw that her friend was preoccupied and said, "Penny for your thoughts."

Brennan looked up and said, "Actually I could use some girl talk. Last night at my apartment, Booth and I kissed."

Angela squealed like Brennan had expected her to and asked, "And what happened next?"

Brennan said, "We talked and we're going to start dating and see where this thing takes us. You've been right all along about us and thank you for being there for me. Now I might need you more than ever though. I never thought I would feel this way. "

Angela said, "Whatever you need. Was the kiss hot?"

Brennan smiled and said, "My insides were exploding. If just kissing was that hot I wonder what well, you know, the sex will be like. But we're a ways from that. We're taking it slowly."

They talked for a little while longer and Angela was so happy for her friend, both her friends actually, she wanted to do a little dance and sing it from the rooftops. It was about time!

They were still talking when Booth walked in to take her to lunch.

Angela hugged him and said, "I'm so happy for you both. Let me know when you two need a reminder of where there are no cameras."

They all laughed and she was off. Okay Angela was always a little bit off but this time she actually left the office.

Booth leaned down and kissed Brennan. Boy this is great and now I can do this and she won't run screaming.

Brennan kissed him back and said, "As you may have surmised I briefed Angela on what is going on. She is happy for us. Have you told anyone else?"

Booth said, "Not yet. Have you told Angela about telling other people?"

Brennan said, "I told her she could tell Hodgins because frankly not telling him might kill her and I'm going to need her for some girl talk as things start happening with us if you don't mind if some things get spilled."

Booth said, "Anything that helps you and helps us I want you to do. I know you're a little scared. I am too. But we're going to get through this and find our way together. Let's have lunch."

They walked out of her office hand in hand and ran into Cam.

Cam said, "Off to lunch I presume?"

Booth said, "Yes. I'll have her back safe and sound in an hour."

Cam smiled at them. Obviously something was changing between her two friends. She was also surprised to not be jealous at all. She knew she and Booth didn't belong together had realized it a long time ago but he was a very special man and they had had a good time when they were together.

Booth and Brennan went to the diner and had a light lunch and spent most of it just looking at each other. Everything was still so new and exciting and more words were said when words weren't being said than when they were saying words.

They returned to the Jeffersonian and shared another quick kiss and he said he'd be at her place to pick her up at 8 for their date.

The rest of the day went very slowly for both of them. Nothing exciting to do in the office and no current cases, just follow up paperwork, emails and she spent some time in Limbo and he spent some time at the shooting range.

Finally it was 5 oclock and Brennan left her office for her apartment. It was rare she actually left at 5 but she wanted to look special.

She stopped by a local mall on her way home and bought a new dress at a store she had always liked. She then went home and got ready. After a long hot bath she put the dress on. It was red and skimmed her knees and showed off her best assets so to speak. She let her hair loose around her shoulders and put on light makeup enough to enhance her beauty but not too much.

Thank God Angela had introduced her to the Merle Norman line of cosmetics. She loved their stuff.

Meanwhile Booth left at 5 as well and headed back to his apartment. It was rare for him to leave on time unless he was going to be with Parker. More things were changing in his life and he was happy so happy he was fairly dancing around.

Men sure had it easier when it came to dressing but still Booth was nervous and tried to figure out what to wear after his shower. He managed a hot shower this time, he only needed cold ones after they spent time together.

He decided on a casual suit and his favorite pair of stripy socks. He didn't wear his lucky socks yet, it wasn't time for his socks to be lucky yet.

Finally 8 o'clock came and the always punctual Seeley Booth was at the always beautiful Temperance Brennan's door knocking.

She opened the door and all he could say was "Wow you look hot."

She smiled at him and said, "Thank you. You look pretty good yourself."

They headed off to a small Italian restaurant he had gotten a recommendation for from a friend of his at the FBI. They went a little outside of town, not wanting to run into any of their friends or coworkers yet.

The food was delicious as they spent the meal talking about the latest cases and told some stories of the day at work. They shared a lot of laughs, this was all so new.

After they were finished they went to a local club. It was a nice little place again recommended to him by a friend at work.

The friend was someone he had known for awhile and Brennan had met and liked him. The friend had wanted to ask if the special woman he was taking out was who he thought she was but didn't. Everyone at both the FBI and the Jeffersonian who had seen them together over the years especially recently was just waiting to hear news they were together.

They found a nice table at the club and sat down but soon the music was pretty intense and got them out on the floor together.

Everyone watched them. They just were magic to watch together.

There was a nice mix of slow and fast songs for them to dance to so time to dance apart and also wrapped in each others arms.

While they danced the slow dances, Booth experimentally moved his hands a bit waiting for her to respond and she smiled at him letting him know it was okay.

They were both enjoying this all, the new relationship and the newfond sensations between them.

They were slowly making love to each other in a different way. They were nowhere near the bedroom yet but already they were dancing the slow dance towards the bedroom.

It had never been like this for either of them. Usually the bed came pretty quickly in the relationship but they had never had this kind of buildup and anticipation and never had anything quite this special and important to them. Not even with Rebecca. Not even with Sully.

Soon it was midnight and Brennan said, "I feel like Cinderella and if your car turned into a pumpkin you might be in deep trouble with the powers that be. I don't know if there are laws in DC about driving a pumpkin."

Booth laughed and said, "You're right and we both have to be at work in the morning. I could dance with you all night but my feet might fall off.'

They left the club and he drove her home. He walked her to the door.

She invited him inside but he said, "Bones that might be a little dangerous right now and we want to take it slow."

They shared a hot passionate kiss at her door.

After pulling apart he kissed her again on her forerhead and they shared a hug and he was off.

Again they both fell into a sleep full of dreams of each other, some very steamy dreams of each other.

What would happen next!

I know it was short but I have the next one ready to fly soon.
