Flashback Previous Evening Abby's party.
"You know Jethro I have a bottle of bourbon back at my place" She told him teasingly leaning over him giving him more than a eyeful of her clevage in the lowcut dress she was wearing for the occasion.
His eyes wandered down her body until she drunkly hit his arm missing most of it "Jethro" She half whined half slurred
He snapped his own drunk eyes up to hers and looked at her "Uhh so your place then?" He slurred
She nodded and reached for her car keys but his hand covered hers "We can't drive Jen" He pointed out to her
She tried to pull his hand off hers couldn't he firmly picked up her hand and pulled her towards the front door where Abby was standing still greeting people that were pouring in hours after the party had orignally started she saw Gibbs and Jen leaning against each other with his arm around her and couldn't help but smile she had to stop herself from jumping up and down cause she knew that she was going to win the bet that her Tony, McGee, Ziva and Ducky had started that afternoon. She raised her eyebrows as they aproached her "Are you guys leaving now?" She asked them her voice almost a whine at the thought of the pair that she considered 'Her parents' to be leaving so early. She had called them a cab and made sure they had gotten in ok when she heard Gibbs give the cab driver Jens address she did squeal with exictment as the cab pulled away and hurried back into her apartment to tell everyone else the news about 'The Parents'.
When they reached Jens house they shed each others clothing leaving a trail from her front door up the stairs across the landing into her bedroom when he threw her onto the bed her squeal of suprise made him even more exicted as he nipped at her neck then teased her with trails of butterfly kisses all over her body.
Before she knew it they had made love and were lying in each others arms both short of breath as the curled around each other.
"I love you" She whispered to him as he fell asleep.
Listen
listen listen ... to the Rain
Weeping.
She woke up and reached across her large bed to grab her lovers hand but instead she found cold sheets and a empty bed she sat up sudendly wincing from the pounding headache that she had. She thought he was downstairs making coffee so she dressed in a hurry and walked down into the kitchen but found no sign of him there either. Thats when it hit her like a cold shower he had gone, he had left sometime in the night after they had made love No it wasn't making love it was a drunken mistake at least to him it was she thought angry at herself How could I have read so much into it we were both drunk he probaly would have taken the first women home who hit on him she thought brushing away that tears that she was unaware had even fallen from her eyes she got her things ready and saw that she was running late hurried out the door for work.
She avoided him all day hiding in her office or MTAC she was suprised when he sent Ziva up to demand a help in gaining a search warrant. She had left the office as soon as she could making sure that she left while his team were out hunting down a suspect.
Listen to
each drop of rain (listen listen)
whispering secrets in vain,
(listen listen)
Frantically searching for someone to hear
their
story before they hit ground.
Listen
listen listen ... to the Rain
Weeping.
She slammed her
front door so hard that the chandler that covered the light in her
foyer shook. She shed her coat leaving it drapped over a chair but
she didn't care she walked straight past the study and the bourbon
bottle that she would usualy turn to at times like this she marched
straight into her bedroom and started pulling the duvet and sheets
off her bed she flung open the windows even though it was raining she
wanted to get rid of the smell of him. She put the sheets in the
washing machine and dragged the heavy duvet into the guest bedroom
pulling the one off the already made up bed in that room back into
her own room then she took her pillows into the spare room and
grabbed the ones of the bed in there and placed them on her own she
then shut the door to the spare room wanting to shut out the smell of
him that drenched her duvet and pillows. She made up her bed with
fresh clean sheets then she closed her windows and drew the curtains
wanting to shut out the rest of the world. She then shed her work
clothes and realising that her pyjamas made her think about him she
decided to sleep in her underwear she got into the bed and pulled the
covers over her she closed her eyes wanting to shut out the outside
world and all of her thoughts. But hours later she was still tossing
and turning. Soon she found herself unable to stop her mind from
running over the previous night when he had been in her bed she soon
found her herself crying.
She couldn't stop the tears running down her face as she lay in the bed that still smelled like him even though she had changed the sheets and pillows she had even dragged the duvet in from the guest room. She turned over to stare at the wall she wouldn't have to look at the empty space that he had occupied last night. She closed her eyes and listened to the rain pouring down outside wishing that it could wash away the smell and memory of him but no luck she turned over again but faced with the empty space just made her tears flow faster and her mind taunt her even more deciding that she had enough she threw the covers off her body and stood up pulling on the clothes that she had left on the floor when she had hurridly shed them hours eariler once she was dressed she hurried downstairs grabbing her car keys off the table in her foyer she hurried out her front door and to her car that was sitting in the driveway she had forgotten a coat and her shirt was plastered to her skin by the time she had gotten into her car. She naviagated her way through the pouring rain until she found herself parked in none other than the man that was the cause of her pain, anger, hurt and frustration.
I stand
alone in the storm.
Suddenly sweet words take hold:
"Hurry!"
they say, "for you haven't much time!
"Open your eyes to
the love around you;
"you may feel you're alone,
"but
I'm here still with you.
"You can do what you dream,
"just
remember to
"Listen to the Rain."
Listen
(listen) Listen (listen)
Listen (listen) Listen (listen)
She
got out of her car and slammed the door struggling to jam the key in
the lock so she could lock the car but the rain pouring down made it
hard in the end she gave up and ran up his driveway heading for his
front door which she found unlocked should I really be suprised
she thought he is always leaving it unlocked. She closed
the front door out of the rain for the first time she realised just
how drenched she was. She was now shaking as she made her way down to
his basement. She shakily walked down the stairs the whole time not
even thinking about what she was going to say to him when she reached
the bottom she found his eyes had been watching her on her shaky
descent of his basement stairs. She walked across his basement floor
till she was standing right in front of him she looked at him squarly
in the eye but he still said nothing instead he looked at her his
eyes full of obivious concern but also questions. She opened her
mouth to speak but then realised that in her hurry to leave she
hadn't even thought of what she was going to say to him he raised his
eyebrows at her asking her a million silent questions all of which
she had no answers for. She finally found her voice and instead of
the questions she had come to ask him she heard herself yelling at
him accusing the anger and vemon she heard herself throw at him made
her want to cringe
"How could you" She heard herself scream at him
When he didn't answer she continued
"I was good enough for you to sleep with when you are drunk but you don't even stay around till the next morning! Whats wrong Jethro were you afraid I would want a marriage propsal or something?" She laughed bitterly at him.
But still he didn't speak he only raised one eyebrow at her and gave her a look that just drove her more crazy and sent her voice up a few more octives
"I can't believe I was so stupid to think that maybe it meant something to you that maybe it meant that you missed me as much as I missed you but no obiviously it was just a drunken mistake to you. I can't believe I was so stupid"
"And obiviously you are not going to say anything I don't know why I am wasting my breath" She laughed bitterly once again turning on her heel she spun around and walked angrily over to the bottom of the stairs scolding herself in her mind for letting her emotions get in the way when she reached the bottom and took the first step she felt his arm close around hers she stopped and looked down at his hand clamped firmly above her elbow she looked up at him her eyes full of hurt and anger
"Let me go Jethro" She told him coldly and her voice full of venom
But he didn't let go he tightned his grip on her and put his other arm around her waist lifting her off the bottom step so she was pulled flush against him her head even with his chest but she turned away not wanting to look at him she could feel tears welling up once again in her eyes and she was shaking from her rain drenched clothes.
"You need to get out of your wet clothes before you catch a cold have a shower and i'll find some dry clothes for you" He told her speaking softly
His calm tone almost angered her how can he sound so calm and not even mention it? she wondered angrily to herself. Almost like he was reading her mind he then said "We have to talk Jen but you need to get out of your wet clothes first and we both need some time to think"
She nodded knowing he was right but hating him for it at the same time why must he always be right she thought. He kept his arm around her but let go of her other arm he lead her up the stairs keeping her close to him when they reached the top of the stairs he led her through the kitchen into the hallway up the other set of stairs to his bathroom he flicked on the light keeping his arm around her keeping her close to him the whole time he felt her shaking uncontrolably now he turned the shower on and while waiting for it to warm up put both of his arms around her and pulled her close to give her his body heat while the shower warmed up. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of him loving it wishing that she could stay in his arms forever but then he pulled away and her eyes flew open and she rememberd why she was soaked and standing in his bathroom just after 3am in the morning.
"I'll leave some clothes for you outside the door Jen towels are over there" He told her motioning to the stand against the other wall. "When you're done come down to the lounge and we can talk" He then walked out the bathroom closing the door softly behind him.
Half a hour later she walked down the stairs wearing a old NIS grey jumper of his along with sweatpants of his that she had rolled up at the top so they would fit her slender frame. She walked into the kitchen and was suprised to see him drinking hot chocolate instead of his usual coffee she walked over to him and accepted the cup that he held out to her he then put his hand on her lower back and guided her through to the lounge where he sat her down on the couch then sat beside her and he started talking,
"It wasn't a mistake Jen I just...I just didn't know how you were going to feel waking up with a killer hangover and me next to you I didn't want to make things hard for you" He explained softly watching her carefully as he explained
She put the cup down on the table and looked at him as he finished speaking watching his eyes as he talked knowing that his eyes would never lie to her "I might have been drunk Jethro but I still knew what I was doing I would have taken you home with me even if I was sober" She told him reaching for his hand and linking her fingers through his rubbing her thumb over his palm.
He put his own cup down and cupped her face with his left hand and gently stroked his thumb over her cheek she closed her eyes loving how his touch felt against her skin he then lent in and kissed her when both of their lungs screamed for air they pulled away she opened her eyes again
"Are you going to be there when I wake up?" She asked him seriously
"This is my house you know Jen" He joked
She rolled her eyes and hit him in the chest "I mean it. I don't want to wake up tomorrow and find myself alone in your bed" She told him
He grabbed her hand and gently kissed each finger pad "I Kiss promise Kiss that Kiss I Kiss will Kiss He told her
She nodded weakly and allowed him to pull her up gently and he lead her back through the kitchen to the stairs then up to his bedroom.
Just before she closed the bedroom door she told him "I love you Jethro"
"I love you to Jen" He told her trailing butterfly kisses down her neck as she closed the bedroom door.
