OK so just a fair warning, the characters are probably a little/ probably a lot OC but I can't help myself :P and I DO NOT OWN NCIS.
-be cruel if you must but nice reviews are greatly appreciated (:
Btw this is pretty much AU and I already know it's pretty crappy but it was a lot better in my head :D
ZIVA POV
Couldn't live without you, I guess... Why? Why couldn't he live without me? I was perfectly fine hating him for killing Michael and then he had to show up and save me. What am I supposed to do now? Forgive him for killing my boyfriend and take a chance? Or keep him at a distance and keep lying to my own heart? Why? Why couldn't he just let things happen the way they were supposed to? Well that's simple Ziva, he can't live without you. Ugh, this is going to be a difficult next few months.
"Earth to Ziva..." Tony's voice broke through her thoughts.
"What?" Ziva asked, a little bit embarrassed she had missed what he had been saying.
"Why do you think he did it?" He replied and she knew Tony was referring to their latest case.
"I do not know. He's dead now, so I guess we never will." She said thinking back over the latest case. It was actually pretty boring compared to most of their other cases. They arrived to a murder-suicide, a marine and his wife. Open and shut as most would call it and now they were the only two left in the bullpen. Wait, when had the others left? She thought, Was I really so absorbed in my thoughts that I missed the departures of Gibbs and McGee? Pull it together Ziva you are trained to have better control over yourself.
"Is there something bothering you, Ziva?" Tony's voice once again interrupted her thoughts. Damn… I don't want to talk about this she thought.
"No, I'm just thinking…" she replied and deciding to add some humor she added "You should try it sometime," and then she flashed him a smile.
"Ziva, C'mon." Tony pouted, "Just tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help" I'm sure you can, you're probably the only one who can…" she thought.
"Tony, I'm tired." She tried, "I'll be better in the morning, I'm just going to go home." She picked up her bag and walked to the elevator. She wasn't surprised that Tony chose then to leave too; she should have known he was waiting for her to leave first.
"Ziva, you're struggling with something, I can see it" He said as the door closed and the elevator began to move. "Please, let me help you." Well, I guess he's not giving up tonight… Ziva thought
TONY POV
Why won't she just let me in? How am I supposed to earn this woman's trust? There's not much a guy can do beyond rescuing her from terrorists and telling her he can't live without her. The elevator doors opened and they excited. He walked right next to her the whole way to her car; he moved to lean against the driver's door of her car so she couldn't get in.
"Tony, just let me go home." Ziva said trying to nudge him aside.
"Just tell me why you're so out of it tonight, you didn't even look at Gibbs or McGee when they said goodnight and you sat at your desk for a good 20 minutes just staring into space after they left." He said, not knowing if any of this was going to get her to open up.
"I already told you, I've been thinking about some things." She replied, once again trying to move him off her car.
"What kind of things?" He asked, "Ziva will stop trying to literally push me away and just talk to me for 5 minutes?" God what is with this girl? Can she not see that I'm trying?
"If you must know, I'm thinking about Somalia type things and I do not wish to discuss them with you tonight so just let me go home!" Ziva said giving him one last push. He moved away knowing he wasn't going to get anywhere tonight. He watched her get in her car and turn the key. One more chance DiNozzo, do not say the wrong thing. He tapped on her window and smiled slightly at the small glare she gave him. She rolled it down slowly.
"Tony…" She began
"I meant what I said; when I told you I couldn't live without you, Ziva." Tony said, "I'm not going anywhere, so when you decide you want to talk about Somalia, come find me." Then he turned around and walked to his car, listening to her car pull away. Ziva will come around, just give her time…he told himself before getting in his car and heading for home.
ZIVA POV
ARGG! That man! He couldn't just leave me to my thoughts! Nooo, he had to go and add sticks to the fire or maybe its fuel to the fire, who cares! Well, what now? Should I go talk to him or just forget he said anything? Of course, I have to go talk to him, find out what exactly is going on between us. Ziva turned the car so that she could head in the direction of Tony's place. This is going to be an interesting night.
