Booth slowly drifted off to sleep, from where he was on the floor. In his dreams he was back home laying in his own bed tapping his fingers to the beat of music. He was warm and comfortable, like there was a nice fire in his heart heating his blood and spreading it all over his body. With all of his comfort he realized his eyes were closed so he opened them and the sight he saw made him grow even warmer. There she was, gorgeous and everything about her seemed perfect. Suddenly there was a huge pounding overtaking power the music and when he looked around to see what was happening, the room disappeared. This time when he opened his eyes he saw his substitute room but the pounding was still existent, except now it included shouting. Jumping to his feet to defend himself he realized it was coming from the door. With a quick glance at Brennan he confirmed she was still asleep, he was safe for now.

Booth opened the door a crack to see Liam and Sampson outside. He ran his hand through his hair and with sleep still thick in his voice he asked, "What the heck guys?"

"We woke up early and want breakfast. Are you making it?"

"Why don't you get yourself cereal and then watch some tv in the den, I'll be down soon." The boys took this as a fine answer and ran down the hallway and stairs. Booth turned towards his next task, waking her up and not getting killed in the process.

Temperance felt like she was floating, happy, with no worries in the world. She was wrapped in warm goodness. Her dreams were centered around one specific person, being held in his arms or clinging to him in the water, except none of her dreams had her almost dying. But a large thudding interrupted her fantasy. She began to stir and when she inhaled fully she was attacked by the smell of boy. 'Did I fall asleep in Russ's bed' she wondered, but as she woke up more she realized that in fact she wasn't home. At this revelation she abruptly sat up surprising Booth who was leaning over her to try and wake her. Their heads collided with a large smack.

"Holy hell" he said holding his forehead.

"What the fuck!?" she said rather loudly. Her expression was a mixture of dazed from the impact and anger because of her evident confusion. "Where am I?" "We didn't, You, What?" She was starting to flip out and Booth knew he had to get her to calm down if he wanted the kids to not know she was here.

Booth turned towards her, and but his hands on her shoulders trying to settle her. Unfortunately for him she didn't quite understand what he meant with this action, next thing he knew his face was in the carpet and his hands were being held behind his back. "Woah, No not okay." He said and with the power he had he pushed her off of him and stepped away. He pointed to the blanket and pillow still on the floor, "I slept there," he then gestured to the bed, "You slept there. No harm or foul."

"WHY?" she said a little louder then it had to be.

"I knocked you into the water, and then you were freezing so I drove you home. But by the time we got to your house you where asleep and I didn't want to wake you. So I carried you to your door, but it was locked and so I thought I would take you here and you could sleep rather then wake you up or search your person for the key."

All she could do was nod. Her body seemed to be on fire, it wasn't just a dream he had held her and carried her. Then it hit her, she had to work today and somehow get out of this house without seeing the Roberts. "What time is it?" she asked with a flustered tone.

"6:45" he said simply.

"How do I get out of here?" she asked in a seemingly bashful yet concerned way, as if she was embarrassed or afraid of something.

"Here follow me." He said offering her his hand and he led her down the hall to the top of the stairs where he let go of her hand and motioned to her to stay. As quick and quietly as he could he climbed down the stairs and check to make sure Liam and Sampson were to busy watching television to notice his secret mission. Then when he knew it was secure he gestured to Temperance at the top of the stairs to come down. She did so and slide out the front door without anyone else noticing.

She had 20 minutes to get ready. Once she got home and was safely in her bedroom she looked in the mirror, her hair was a mess, her shorts looked disgusting, and she was were and extra shirt that must have belonged to Booth. Showering in about 5 minutes and getting dressed faster then that she brushed out her hair and ran downstairs to get something to eat. After everything she finally settled down once she was safely inside her car. Taking a deep breath she drove down to the community center, dreading having to see him again so soon.

Booth got dressed and headed downstairs to check on the boys. By the time he reached the bottom step, Liam, Oliver and Sampson were all standing by the door ready to go. So grabbing an apple from the counter in the kitchen and his ipod from the hall table he followed them out of the house. Reaching the community center in record time, they all hopped out. Before they got to the door Liam pulled him aside. "Hey are you gonna stay with us again today, because you don't have too." "Yeah, I'm just going to check you guys in, is that alright?" Liam nodded and went ahead into the building.

Brennan got to work early that day and sat down at a table reading over the day's announcements. Angela came over and sat by her.

"Hey, did you get home alright last night? I looked for you but couldn't find you." She asked feeling slightly guilty. So after a deep breath Temperance explained the past nights events to Angela.

"Oh my god, he's like your knight in shining armor. That's so cute."

"It was his fault I fell into the water, he would have been an ass if he didn't."

"Come on sweetie, he carried you to your doorstep and then offered you his bed and didn't try and pull anything. He seems perfect." She said in a caring voice. They then had to cut off their conversation because campers were starting to arrive. To Brennan's luck Liam signed himself in and she only had one awkward moment where her and Booth's eyes met across the room. But to her surprise he gave her a soft smile before he looked away.

Booth dropped off the littles and returned home to change and go for a run. By the time he returned and cleaned himself and his room up it was around 12. Noticing the incredible noise coming from his stomach he should eat some food. So he headed out to the market and grabbed a bunch of junk food. He planned on staying in that night and learning more about his cousins. After he returned home and put everything away it was about 2:20 so he went a little early to pick up the littles.

Liam decided that today he would follow around Temperance and get to know her better. This was a complete hassle of her, who had to watch 12 others and answer a plethora of questions from the boy. Also when he wasn't with her he stared at her, it was beginning to make her completely uncomfortable. Today has been a very odd day. So when Booth showed up early to get them she was thrilled. He spent about 10 minutes talking to Sampson, Angela and Jack then got Oliver and called Liam over to go.

After all of the kids were checked out and she packed all the equipment up she headed home. The entire time he was on her mind and it was driving her crazy. This wasn't her, she didn't get crushes, she didn't think about stuff like this. She was supposed to be rational and logical. So when she got to her room and noticed his shirt still on her bed, she threw it in the washer and went upstairs again to read a little. When the machine buzzed, Brennan folded it and headed over to the Roberts to give it back.

Sampson invited about 4 friends over, Oliver invited 10, and Liam invited 5. This is not what Booth had thought he was going to spend the rest of the day. To his luck Sampson had also convinced Angela and Jack to come along and help supervise, but seeing how the only thing either of them seemed to be watching was each other he was in charge of 22 kids. Realizing they must be getting hungry again he went into the kitchen and sliced up apples, oranges, and washed off lots of strawberries for the kids. The doorbell rang and sent fear through him, 'not more kids' he thought. He went over to the door and was surprised to see Temperance standing there.

"Hey," he said sheepishly

"Hi, ummm this is yours." She shoved the shirt into his hands and just as she was about to leave there was another voice calling her back.

"Tempe! Are you going to swim with us? PLEASE!" the excitement in the boys voice was clear. She couldn't say no to that. Looking at Booth for help, instead of help he opened the door more and gestured for her to enter. Liam grabbed her hand and led her to the backyard, where Angela was laying out on a chair and a giant smirk on her face.

"Sweetie!" she shouted

"Hi,"

"Did Seeley invite you over?" She asked hoping that her new friend had put the moves on her best friend.

"No, Liam did." She replied. And the smirk on Angela's face grew wider.

Booth went back into the kitchen to finish with the fruit and brought it out to the back. He then got in the pool with the other kids and played with Oliver and his friends for awhile. After awhile Jack had joined them and Angela was sitting on the edge submerging her legs in the water. Temperance on the other hand was spending her time either talking to Liam who was continuously trying to get her attention or attempting to causally touch her. It was a riot to watch but probably horrible to be in her place. At what seemed to be her breaking point she excused herself and headed inside to get some water. Taking a risk Booth also then got out of the water and went inside.

When he got into the kitchen she was standing that the sink with her back to him. He walked up and stood closely to her back, leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I think someone has a crush." Not knowing he was actually behind her turned around quickly and her hands landed directly on his wet, rip chest. Looking at her hands and then into his eyes she looked confused and embarrassed. Booth smiled and she smiled. And with the worst timing Oliver walked into the kitchen.

"Get a room." He said as he grabbed a soda from the fridge and walked out.

Brennan moved her hands as if she was touching a hot stove and looked way, moving far as she could from his body. All Seeley could do was smile and then realizing that the moment could only get more awkward if he stayed he exited the kitchen and headed back into the yard. It took awhile for her to come back out and he thought she might have even left, but sure enough she came back out and sat back down in the place she was before.

Jack came over and asked her if she was ever planning on coming in. Deciding that she might as well, she stood up and pulled off her shirt, revealing a light blue and navy blue bikini top. She continued to undress, knowing the Booth was watching her every movement from the side of pool. After moving her clothes to her vacant chair she turned to get in the pool slowly. Angela had other plans, running from behind her she grabbed Temperance around the waist and pulled her into the pool with her. The water was refreshing and felt splendid on her skin. They spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool and then once they got out most of the kids went home. Angela, Jack and Temperance stayed to help clean up and once they finished, Jack offered to drive Angela home. Booth then walked Temperance over to her place, and watched her get safely inside. Once the door closed behind her she leaned into and exhaled deeply. Just another day of the summer.

Thank you so much for the reviews the feedback is so nice.
