It was late that night after work as Tempe sat at a table with Angela, Zach and Hodgins at the diner. They had all been told to meet there by Booth for who knew what, well actually Tempe knew, but didn't say anything because it was supposed to be a surprise. As she sat there looking over the menu Angela and Hodgins talked over a few details of the days events while Zach commented every so often.
"Sweetie, did he say when he'd be here?" Angela asked looking over to the door.
"I'm not sure, he just said to him here." She said and as if on cue her phone went off. "Brennan." There was a silence on her end, followed by her closing the phone and placing it back in her pocket.
"Well?" Angela asked curiously.
"He'll be a minute, there is some traffic." She mumbled, her stomach doing flips as she sat there, she knew what was going to happen, but what she didn't know how Angela would react or how any of this would affect her life.
A few minutes of silence filled them until the door opening forced them all to turn and see as Booth walked in smiling. Angela smiled and motioned to where they were sitting as Hodgins and her got up to allow him some space next to Tempe. As Booth scooted in the middle to sit on Tempe's left side he placed a small kiss on her cheek, she gave him a small glare, but got rid of it quickly as Angela smiled to them.
"Sorry I'm late." He said picking up the menu to look over the food. "Did you guys already order?"
"No, as a matter of fact we were just waiting for you." Angela said smiling.
"Great, because I'm starved." He said looking to find Tempe staring at him smiling. "What?" he whispered to her hoping nobody heard them.
"I'm going to enjoy killing you later." She mumbled into his ear, smiling as if she were telling him a secret.
"What did I do?" he asked placing his hand on her leg as he asked her.
"You kissed me again." she mumbled noticing as Angela smiled brightly at them.
"Everybody is here; they need to think we are really in love and going to be engaged when I propose in a few minutes. Ok?"
"Fine, but what does your hand on my leg have to do with this? They can't see it." She whispered grabbing his hand and removed it from its position.
"Oh I know, I just love having it there, so I thought you wouldn't mind." He said giving her a seductive smile, and then looked to the waitress who had just come up to them to take their order.
As they ate they talked over everything and nothing. As Tempe bit into her hamburger she noticed a little something hard in her mouth and tried to fish it out while keeping what needed to stay in her mouth in. as she looked over the small hard piece that had been in her mouth she noticed it had been the ring Booth had showed her earlier that day.
"What the hell?" she asked looking over it and noticed something engraved on the inside.
"Temperance," Booth spoke using her first name, but not drawing her attention away from the ring. Angela gave a small squeal and she watched everything take place. "Will you marry me?"
Tempe looked over to Booth and gave a nod as he took the ring from her finger and placed it on her finger and gave her a kiss on the lips as Angela sat there giving off a silent scream, getting the attention of the other people eating.
"Why to go, Booth." Hodgins said smiling and laughed as Angela put her face into his shoulder to scream.
"Congrats you guys." Zach said smiling.
It was later that night as Tempe and Booth walked up to her apartment soaking wet from the rain. As Tempe fumbled for the keys she looked to Booth as he broke the long silence between them.
"Please don't kill me." he begged, or faked.
"I won't kill you, but keep your hands to yourself." She said opening the door to walk in and moved so he could enter as well. "Booth we need to get this settled. You know, figure out when we get married, when we move in, whose apartment and everything else."
"Bones, Cullen wants us married by next week so next weekend is when the wedding will take place, as for moving in, I don't care who or which apartment, but it's best we get it done soon."
"Fine you can move in tonight." She said walking over to the linen closet.
"What tonight?" he asked shocked she had suggested such a thing.
"Yup, here. You're sleeping on the couch though." She said smiling, hoping he would change his mind and walk out. However he gave a nod and took to the couch, getting it ready to sleep. She stood there shocked at the fact reverse psychology didn't work, but now had even more hate for the stupid mental game. "I hate psychology." She said as she turned to leave towards her room.
Booth lay on the couch smiling, glad he had seen past her attempt at getting rid of him and spoiled it.
"Good night, Bones." He said turning out the light next to the couch.
"Shut up." She said from inside her bed room, and then closed the door, blanketing the living room in darkness.
Ok I know it was short, and I'm sorry I'm trying to make them longer, but not doing to hot over here, so please cut me some slack and I'll get to it. Now I'm going to take a break from this for a while, school and work have been hell lately and I promised to update so here it is I hope I didn't disappoint. Now I'll try to update soon, but no promises can be made except that I'll try. Thank you all for your support you all keep me going. Love you all.
