Tony sat silently in his chair and looked at the woman sitting few tables away from him.

These wedding after-parties would last for few hours and the main couple had just danced their first dance together. Now they sat on their place and smiled widely. Jimmy and Breena answered questions about their future and jobs.

Tony stood up and smiled as he walks to Ziva. She was sitting few tables from him and was talking to Ducky about ancient mythology of weddings.

"Hey," Tony said to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. He quickly gazed the gorgeous red dress that fitted her perfectly.

Ziva turned around and met his gaze, "What do you want?"

Tony grinned and reached his hand to her, "I was going to ask you to dance with me."

Ziva looked at his green eyes and smiled quickly, "I do not think you can dance."

Tony smiled and grabbed her arm, "Excuse us, Duck" he said to the man who smiled and nodded at them.

Tony dragged her to the empty dance floor, "Dance with me," he said and smiled while wrapping his arms around her waist.

Ziva felt his touch on her bare skin that the dress didn't cover and looked at his eyes. She was surprised when Tony took a step and found a rhythm for the both of them.

There wasn't any music, when they started to swing together. Ziva noticed this and looked around herself, "This is stupid, Tony. There is no music," she said quietly and felt the people staring at them.

"I can hear it just fine," he whispered to her ear and continued swinging softly.

Tony pulled her closer and smiled when she finally rested her head against his chest and heard his heartbeat.

Ziva sighed and was glad, when the band looked at the dance floor and started to play, just for them. She smiled and relaxed herself in his arms.

His hands might have wondered a little lower than they should have, so Ziva lifted her gaze to his eyes and gave a disapproving look. Tony grinned innocently and lifted his hands upper on her body and she turned her gaze away.

He breathed in her scent and swung quietly with the music.

"Ziva…" he said quietly. She lifted her gaze back to his green eyes.

"You look beautiful," he said sincerely and smiled.

Ziva blushed a little and smiled back. She knew how much he meant those words.

A short lingering moment they looked at each other and for a little while, they both wanted to share a soft and sweet kiss, but everyone were watching.

Abby sit in her chair and sighed. She gazed at McGee and smiled, "Look at them," she said and pointed at Tony and Ziva, who were swinging slowly with the music and leaning against each other. They whispered something to each other and smiled. They looked happy and they moved in perfect rhythm.

"What about them?" McGee asked and sipped his champagne.

"Don't they look good together?" she asked and gazed at McGee

"Rule number twelve, Abs," he reminded.

"Rules are meant to be broken," she said smiling with a hint of admiration in her voice, "Especially when something is just so... meant to be."
