Sorry that it took so long, I was just really busy, but now that Bones is almost back I'm super excited and finally got around uploading a new chapter. I hope you enjoy it....PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!

"What's for dinner?" Said Booth as he stepped into the kitchen.

"Wait" Brennan turned around "I thought you were bringing the food"

"What?" Booth shook his head and smiled "I'm the guest here Bones, you..." He pointed at her "Were supposed to get the food"

"You almost invited yourself here" Brennan crossed her arms in front of her breasts.

Booth extended his arms "That's right, almost. But in the end you invited me"

"Paul brought the bread; I bought the wine….." She walked over to him and placed her index finger in her chest "And you were supposed to bring the food"

"Bread? Who the hell brings bread?"

"Is nice to bring bread when you are having a date" Said Paul in an attempt to defend himself.

"This is not a date" Said Booth and Brennan at the same time as they turned to Paul.

"I thought Temperance and I were having a da..." Paul was interrupted before he could even finish.

"No" Answered Booth and Brennan together again. The fact that they answered the same thing once again made the tension between them even more palpable.

"Well, let me offer to pay for dinner" Said Paul as he stepped closer to Brennan "I know a good restaurant that isn't very far away from here, I'll be happy to drive us over there"

"Sure" Brennan turned to Booth "Are you coming?"

He didn't want to have dinner with Paul, but he sure didn't want them to have dinner alone. "Sure" Booth shrugged.

"I can drive us?" Said Paul pulling his keys from his pocket.

"I can take my own car, thank you" Said Booth pulling out his keys.

"Is not your car, is the government's car" Responded Brennan as she reached for her coat.

Booth shot a glare at Brennan but she didn't pay attention "Well, I'm taking the government's car. Bones is coming with me too"

"Why can she come with me?" Paul crossed his arms in front of his chest. He was getting tired of Booth and the way he had the need to overprotect Brennan.

"Because she is my par…"

Brennan interrupted "We are all getting there in the same care"

"Why?" Asked Booth with a whiny voice.

"Because we need to be conscious about our impact on the environment, I see no need to take both cars"

"I totally agree with Temperance" Paul smiled at Brennan "I actually just thought a class about how green house gas emisi…."

"Boring" Booth said under his breath.

"I think is fascinating" Said Brennan smiling at Paul.

"We are still taking my car"

"Government's car" Brennan corrected.

"Thanks Bones" Booth rolled his eyes.

"Sure" Brennan clearly didn't sense the sarcasm in his voice.

"I'm the one that knows where the restaurant is, I say I should drive" Said Paul.

"That's true. We are taking Paul's car" Agreed Brennan as she started walking towards the door. She turned and saw that Booth was not moving, he was just standing there with his arms crossed in front of his chest "Booth"

He sighed "Coming"

They all got into Paul's car. Brennan was on the passenger side and Booth in the back. He felt weird; he was never in the back, never. Paul took way too long to start the car, taking his time arranging the mirrors and making sure the street was free so that he could drive, but Booth and Brennan didn't say a thing. Finally they were on their way to the restaurant. Paul seemed very frightened while driving, the sound of a car coming made his hands stick tight to the steering wheel, and he resembled a teenager on his driving exam. Booth sighed with every sudden stop, which was pretty much every stop.

"Maybe we should've taken my car; you are not a very good driver" Said Brennan as she stared at the nervous Paul.

"What? I'm fine" Said Paul "I just like to be careful, that's all"

"Booth is an excellent driver and he is very careful when he drives" Said Brennan as she placed on hand on the roof of the car trying to stop her body of moving along with the car "Especially when I'm in the car with him"

"Thanks Bones" Booth took of his seatbelt and stuck his head between Paul and Brennan. He was actually waiting for any mentioning of his name to use that as an excuse to get closer to the pair. "I appreciate that"

"That wasn't a complement" Brennan answered and unconsciously shifted her body left, getting closer to Booth "I was just mentioning a fact"

Booth smiled "Thanks again"

Brennan turned her face to his "I wasn't giving you a co…" She saw him smiling "Oh, you were complemented by the fact" She smiled back "I get it"

They finally arrived at the restaurant. It was nothing like Booth and Brennan were hoping for, the restaurant looked way too fancy, and the people looked like they were trying too hard. The restaurant had a foreign name that Booth couldn't pronounce, but the word came naturally out of Brennan's mouth, as if that was her first language. Booth found it extremely attractive every time she spoke in a different language, so he kept asking her how the name of the restaurant was pronounced over and over again.

"Wait" Said Brennan after the tenth time Booth had asked her to pronounce the name "Are you making fun of me?"

"No Bones" He shook his head "I just want to learn how to pronounce that word, and well, you are clearly an expert"

"That's true" Brennan agreed and continued to explain the pronunciation of the word.

After a couple of minutes Paul walked towards the pair with a big smile on his face "It is impossible to get a table here, but I worked my magic and I got us one"

"Magic?" Booth placed his hands in his pockets "Are you serious?" He asked sarcastically.

"That would usually be impressive to someone, but I'm a bestselling author Paul, I can get a table anywhere" For some this statement would make you believe that the person was an egomaniac, but Brennan was just naming a fact. Brennan walked passed Paul and made her way to their table.

Paul followed her and placed his hand on her lower back as they moved to the table. Booth watched this from behind. His blood boiling with anger, he wanted to rip Paul's hand, but he had to behave.

They sat on a square shaped table. Brennan was sitting in the middle, with Booth on one side and Paul on the other.

An attractive woman handed them their menus. She paid special attention to Booth while handing him his menu "Here you go" She smiled "Can I get you anything?"

Booth looked up and gave her his famous charm smile "I'm okay, thanks"

"Well, if you need anything, anything at all please let me know" She completely ignored Brennan and Paul, she smiled again at Booth and left.

Booth shook his head and smiled as he picked up the menu. He felt someone staring at him; he lowered the menu to see Brennan looking straight at him with her piercing blue eyes.

"What?"

"You two were feeling each other up" Said Brennan a bit bothered.

"It's feeling each other out Bones" He shook his head "She was just being nice"

"Nice? She was all over you" She raised her hand "I say that as a matter of speaking, not literally. Angela thought me that frase"

Booth smiled "No, she wasn't"

Paul was looking at the pair over his menu.

"And you didn't seem to care" Brennan returned her attention at the menu.

"I don't know what you are talking about"

"Yes you do" Brennan lowered her voice and said to herself "You gave her your charm smile"

"Excuse me?" Booth tried to hide his smile, but couldn't. He knew exactly what Brennan had said "Did you just say I have a charm smile?"

Brennan rolled her eyes.

"Bones, do I have a charm smile?" Booth got closer to her and rested his hand on her arm "Huh?" He shot her his smile.

Brennan grinned "You have a big ego, you know that?"

"Coming from a bestselling author and one of the best anthropologists in the world?"

"The best, I'm the best Booth" Brennan said quite confident.

"I prove my point"

They stared at each other for a long time like they often did; challenging each other with looks and smiles.

Paul placed his hand on Brennan's thigh, bringing her back to earth "Tempe, are you ready to order?"

Booth was burning inside, but he couldn't do anything about it….and that was the thing that bothered him the most. Paul was probably a nice guy, but he couldn't see pass the fact that he was "dating" Brennan. He was expecting Brennan to slap Paul's hand away, so when she didn't he got really, really jealous.

Booth searched the dining room, when he saw her; he smiled and motioned her to come to the table.

"Are you ready to order sir?" Asked the waitress with a big smile and recently glossed lips.

"Call me Seeley" He definitely and very intentionally gave her his charm smile.

Brennan turned with her mouth slightly opened.

"Okay" The woman giggled and ran her fingers through her long hair. "What would you like to order Seeley?"

"They can go first" Booth extended a hand to the pair.

"Thank you Agent Booth" Paul ordered his dish. "What are you having Temperance?"

Brennan looked at the menu and even though nothing looked really appetizing she ordered.

"Seeley?"

Booth couldn't understand anything on the menu, so he just pointed at a random dish and smiled.

After the waitress smiled one more time at Booth, she left.

Booth and Brennan were staring straight at their hands, while Paul shifted awkwardly on his chair.

"Soooo..." Paul tried to start a conversation "How's work? Bones" He said jokily.

"Don't call her Bones" Booth said looking directly at Paul's eyes; he used the same stare he used while interrogating a suspect.

Paul looked over at Brennan who was still looking at her hands. She shook her head "I agree, don't call me that"

The waitress arrived with the food. As she placed the plates on the table Brennan made a face she didn't even use while encountering decomposed bodies.

Booth used the same face he used at the Jeffersonian most of the time. "What it this? Is this what I ordered?" Booth asked the waitress.

"Of course sir" The blonde shook her head "I mean Seeley"

"I just need to make a quick call" Booth disappeared between the tables.

Brennan was getting more and more annoyed as the time passed. The food smelled completely disguising; she tried to eat it but at one point gave up.

Booth returned to the table and was quite disappointed to see his plate still intact on the table; he was kind of hoping the waitress would've taken it away. "Is still here?" He said as he poked the food with his index finger "I kind of feel the thing is still alive"

Brennan turned to him and pointed at his dish "I can assure you it isn't Booth"

Booth smiled.

"Oh, it's a joke" Brennan smiled back after her realization "I get it"

"You should get into the kitchen and cook up some mac and cheese Bones"

"You really liked it?" Bones asked as she folded her arms over the table, her back was slightly aiming at Paul.

"Are you kidding?" He grabbed what appeared to be a piece of carrot from his dish "Best I've ever had!"He put the "carrot" in his mouth and immediately pulled it out of his mouth "This is not carrot Bones, don't try it!"

Brennan started laughing and pointing at him. Booth reached over and grabbed her finger with his hand. "Are you making fun of me Dr. Brennan?"

She looked at his hand covering hers and lowered her voice "Maybe"

"Well, I was going to take you out for a Milk Blast bar after this, but you are not getting one now" Booth said shaking his head.

"I was not planning to accept your offer…" She turned to look at the waitress that was staring straight at them "Are you sure you don't want to invite her out for a Milk Blast bar?" Brennan asked in a playful tone.

Booth hadn't let go of her hand "I don't just take random girls for a Milk Blast bar, they have to be special"

Brennan rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.

The loud noise of a chair moving made them turn to the other side of the table "I can't do this Temperance, I really like you but I can't date you if you are seeing someone else. Dinner's on me" Paul pulled out his wallet and left some cash on the table "It was….interesting meeting you Agent Booth" He leaned down and kissed Brennan on the cheek, then turned and left. He didn't seem exactly mad, but he did look annoyed.

Booth and Brennan let go of each other's hand.

"What was he talking about?" Brennan asked.

"I have no idea" Booth turned to Brennan, trying to see if she was hurt by Paul leaving, but honestly she didn't seem to care.

"He was nice"

"Yeah" Booth nodded.

"I think he thought he and I were dating, and that was not the case" She put on a serious face "We just enjoyed each other's company in a strictly conversational and sexu…."

"That's enough info Bones, thanks" Booth said sarcastically.

They sat in silence for a while "I really don't want to finish this Booth" She looked down at her dish.

"Already took care of that Bones" Booth smiled and went out of the restaurant for second. He returned with a pizza on his hand.

"Were did you get that from?" Brennan asked quite amused.

"I ordered it when I used my phone, I know you don't like the food they have here" He opened the cardboard box, of course almost all the dining room was watching them in disbelief "Half is vegetarian" He smiled and took a bite from a slice of pizza.

Brennan just smiled watching him eat.

"What? Do I have sauce on my face" Booth stuck out his tongue and tried to reach a spot in the corner of his mouth.

"Thanks Booth"

Booth smiled back at her "You know I have your back Bones"

She grabbed a slice.

"Get ready for dessert Bones, because we are going out for some Milk Blast bars!"
