Resume: Blowback scene rewritten. Part 2 of "This is Acting".
Confetti
You hurt my pride, part of me died, but that's ego
And the house we lived in had no doors and it had no windows
You said: I'm hanging with the boys
You said: Working late to pay our bills
But I found lipstick on your collar
Wasn't my color
Sia-Confetti
"It's your own fault, you know." Jenny said as they descended the stairs from her office.
"What? Leaving, or coming back?" Gibbs asked slightly surprised as he followed his director.
"For teaching me your rules!" The redhead said steadily, stopping in the middle of the staircase and turning to face the agent. "Best way to keep a secret, keep it to yourself. Second best way, tell one other person if you must. There is no third best. That's rule number four, isn't it?" She mocked him, before leaving him at the bottom of the stairs, her long skirt swinging behind her with every movement.
Gibbs was surprised for a moment, before following her and saying angrily, not being ready to let her leave the discussion:
"Number one supersedes all of the others."
"Hmmm, never screw your partner?" She asked as she continued to walk, followed closely by Gibbs.
"Never screw OVER your partner."
That was enough to make her lose control and Jenny put her hands firmly against his chest, pushing him toward the nearest window, pressing him there and staring at him seriously. Her green eyes sparkled with rage as much as desire for the man who still messed with her heart, even after eight years. Her chest was pressed to his, feeling his warmth and firmness.
Gibbs's eyes dropped from hers to her rosy lips that even forming a thin line, indicating anger, continued to attract him, as did all the rest of her as he felt her breasts rise and fall with her breath and he approached a little more, letting them glued to each other.
Although Jenny was short, her anger mixed with the desire for Gibbs made her appear almost as tall as the man who was pressed to the window by her.
"I never screwed you over, and I'm not your partner. I'm your boss."
Behind these cold words, Gibbs could feel the almost disguised bitterness and it gave him a certain satisfaction due to the jealousy that he had been feeling with her proximity of DiNozzo.
But before she released him, Jenny's eyes fell to the collar of his red polo shirt, where there was a mark of lipstick. It wasn't a red or a rose one, colors she wore and used to mark his body with in Europe, but a nude one. Colonel Mann's nude lipstick.
For a brief second, Jenny felt her heart shatter to see that he had moved on, and her eyes looked sad but she couldn't demonstrate it in front of him and so, instead of letting the tears fall, she drew herself closer to his face, and his blue eyes were serious, but still containing the love he felt for her.
Jenny's lips were very close to his, and when they were almost touching their lips, she moved them to his collar, brushing her lips there and leaving a mark, her pink lipstick and Gibbs looked at her, surprised.
Jenny then lifted her head and looked at Gibbs one last time before turning around and going to her office in firm steps, not staying to see the man's reaction, and being avoided by all the agents who were walking around, who didn't want to face the fury of the director. That was the only thing she could do.
