A Letter From The Past: Chapter 2

A/N: Hey there guys...Thank you so much for reviewing my story and thank you for citing the errors that I make...Here you go, the second installment in my story...as for my other stories....hmm...I don't know when I'll be able to update it....i'm really having some serious writer's block, but i'm really trying to finish those chapters...Sorry... Keleth, I hope didn't use the word "she" too much on this chapter...

About this chapter: Well, I realized that I've been writing serious dramas...REALLY! So I've decided to add a little humor in this story..Perhaps little twist for Booth to have a reason to follow Tempe....;)

Disclaimer: Someday, I might own Bones...JK

Temperance eyes widened in disbelief. Her heart was beating wildly. She was now as pale as a ghost. She felt that her knees could no longer support her. She was completely unaware that she had dropped the letter. In fact, she was not aware of what was happening to her surroundings or even Booth's presence.

Booth was standing at the front of her door when he noticed that Temperance was about to faint. He hurriedly approached her and caught her in time before she fell to the floor.

Seeley panicked and didn't know what to do with his partner. There she was, laying completely motionless in his arms. Seeley checked his partner's breathing. He didn't seem to feel it. He didn't know what to do that time. His mind wasn't working. Damn! Seeley, come on, think. He only had one choice, to resuscitate her. He laid her unmoving body on the floor and tried to perform CPR on her. He had to act fast, not to lose a moment. He was about to put his mouth onto hers when he accidentally caught a glimpse of her ash-white cheeks, that beautiful face and that lovely, although disheveled, auburn hair of hers that complements her beauty. He never actually realized how truly beautiful his partner was, until that fateful day. Seeley didn't know what to do next. Perhaps by impulse or by his totally undeniable attraction to her, he placed his lips onto hers and began kissing her passionately instead of resuscitating her.

Temperance felt someone's lip on hers. When she opened her eyes, there she saw his partner, kissing her. Her eyes widened and fury overcame her. She slapped her partner with all the strength she had left.

Booth hurriedly held back his lips and wiped them. He stared intently into her eyes, as if he was sorry for what he had done.

Temperance did not find his kiss amusing at all. She quickly stood up. Booth was offering his help but she rejected him.

"No thanks, Booth, I can stand on my own" she said, her voice filled with disgust at his partner's actions. She stared at him, with eyes filled with hatred like a tiger.

Booth tried to apologize but she wasn't listening. "Bones, please, I'm sorry…I thought you were.."

She didn't even let him continue what he was trying to say. Instead, she shoved him to the door. "Get out, Booth" she demanded.

Booth was determined to know what was happening but most of all, he wanted to get his Bones' forgiveness. He knew that what he did was wrong, but somehow, he didn't feel guilty at all. In fact, he never regretted that kiss, or if that ever was considered one. He continuously banged the door, but to no avail.

Temperance was afraid that with all that banging, Booth might knock down the door. Plus, she knew that all that noise was attracting too much attention.

"Booth, stop it" she yelled at him. She was extremely annoyed at his partner's behavior. She wanted to open the door but she stopped herself. She was indeed mad at Booth.

"Bones, I'm not going to stop until you open this damn door! Let me explain. Please." Booth begged, his voice almost seemed like he was crying which really tempted her to open the door, but again, she didn't.

Angela was doing her job and was just passing by when she noticed the commotion outside her best friend's office. She couldn't help but see for herself what was happening. She approached Booth and asked him.

"Booth, I was just passing by, when I noticed you…and…What is it with all the banging?" she asked, her eyes filled with a mysterious sparkle. She couldn't contain herself; she wanted to know what was happening. With all the commotion and the noise, she couldn't help but think if Temperance and Seeley were having a lover's quarrel.

Before Booth could even answer, Angela asked again a question. This time, a smile was on her lips. "Oh my god! Booth, are you two having a lover's quarrel?"

Temperance and Booth's eyes enlarged at what Angela had said. "What?" They both chorused in bewilderment.

"Oh, sweetie, I knew you two were made for each other!" Angela squealed in excitement. Her squeals attracted more and more attention.

Cam, who was just passing by, got confused as to why was Angela Montenegro was squealing like she was in high school. She really wanted some answers so she went to Booth and Angela.

"Umm…I don't mean to pry in to other people's business, but why exactly is Ms. Montenegro squealing like a teenager?" she asked, as she lifted her eyebrow while staring at the two confusedly.

Angela was smiling at that time. Booth knew what she was going to say, he tried to stop him. He covered her mouth with his hand and tried to explain everything to Cam. "Nothing she was just…OUCH!"

Booth barely finished his sentence when Angela bit his hand, making him wince out of pain.

"Cam, don't listen to her, everything's fine here. Ms. Montenegro just misinterpreted the situation" Booth explained to Cam but she was still unconvinced, her eyebrow still raised like before.

Angela was now free to talk, and again, out of pure happiness for her best friend and Booth, squealed again like an adolescent. "Cam, don't you get it? Booth and Brennan were having a lover's quarrel!"

Hodgins was just walking around that area, carrying charts and chemicals for his next experiment when he overheard Angela's shouts. He stopped outside Dr. Brennan's office, to see check what was going on. He couldn't help but ask.

Temperance has had enough of everything. She knew that their little 'spat' was gaining too much attention. Plus, it was quite embarrassing of Angela to go on telling people that Booth and she were lovers having a fight. She got all her things and opened the door, much to everyone's surprise.

Everyone was startled that they stopped what they were doing when the opened. They all saw that Dr. Brennan was not happy with all the commotion they were having.

Cam was feeling a little ashamed. That went great. There she was, their new boss, who was sticking her nose in other people's business. What a wonderful start! She felt the need to talk, to somehow explain herself. "I…We were just...Umm…"

She didn't even completed what she was saying because before she could even, Temperance stopped her. "Save it, Dr. Saroyan." She said, at she stared furiously at all four of them and then stormed off.

Booth tried to chase her but she was too fast for him. When he got outside the Jeffersonian, she was nowhere in sight. Only a speeding car could be seen. Thanks a lot, Angela, he thought.

Later that evening, Booth went to Temperance's apartment. He was somehow desperate for her forgiveness. He really wanted to apologize for what he had done earlier. He somehow couldn't bear to see his partner's tiger like gaze in him. He didn't know what to do. Normally, when he does something to other girls, a simple sorry would do. But Temperance wasn't just an ordinary woman. She would not ease up with a simple sorry. He had thought of serenading her, but that might add salt to injury so instead, he just bought her flowers and chocolate, hoping that that would help the situation.

He was knocking on the door for sometime now, but nobody was answering. Fearing that something might have happened to his partner, he shot the door with his gun. When he got inside, he dropped the roses and chocolates that he was carrying. No Temperance Brennan was insight. In fact, all he found was a note near the telephone. It was an address. What on earth would Temperance do in Montreal?

Okay, seriously, you have got to tell me what you think....You know, 23 days to and it's Christmas, yay! The best gift you can give is a review....But you know what I think about this chapter??? If I would read this, I would think that this was written by some teenager...(but i am a teenager:)
