This story is set in season 10 after the episode "Shell shock (Part II)" and I hope you will like. This is my first fanfiction and I'm not sure I will continue or leave it a One-shot. Reviews would be lovely and please let me know if I should continue.
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS.
I'm really sorry for any mistakes I made.
Thoughts and decisions
She sits there on her chair. Stunned about what just happened. About what he did for her. She always knew that he is hard and tough on the outside but soft and caring in the inside. When he trusts you, he opens up to you and you can look behind his facade. But she never expected something like that.
She could not go to the opera, so he tried to bring it to her. That was the sweetest thing a man ever did for her. He almost achieved it, she almost felt like she was there, with Talli. It means a lot to her and he knows it.
Sometimes she feels like he knows always what she is thinking, what she is doing next and mostly he knows when she is feeling bad. And there is nothing awkward about it. It just feels right. He never gave up on her, not when she pushed him away after Michael's death, not when he thought she was dead. He had always had her bag and she is thankful about that. She wouldn't be the same person as she is now without him. And in that moment she realises what she feels for him.
Love. Simply love.
Deep inside her she knew that for a long time but finally she can admit it to herself. She is in love with Anthony Dinozzo. Her co-worker, partner and best friend.
She knows she has to tell him but she doesn't know how he will react. She is scared because when he doesn't feel the same way, she will never be able to work with him again. But she will tell him, because he deserves to know it and she has a feeling that it will end happy for both of them. She just knows he loves her too. There is no other explanation…otherwise why would he do all this for her?
She can not find an answer to that question so she decides to go to the Thanksgiving dinner. Where her "family" is waiting for her. Maybe she will tell him tonight but just maybe.
She turns off the music and grabs her things. As she turns around to leave, but she stops for a brief moment and looks at the desk of her partner. Yeah she would definitely tell him tonight, she thinks to herself. He deserves it. And with that she leaves the squad room.
Please review!
