Hope you guys like it!! Please R&R
Does Tony finally has the confident to tell her he loves her? Ziva .. his partner.. his friend… could there be more? Tony was sitting in his apartment watching an movie, well watching more thinking. Really thinking not which movie shall I watch next? NO about his live. He doesn't know how he came to this thoughts. Maybe because they had dinner last night. At his house after they watched a movie. Sitting in the couch with his arm on the back. She was lying on his shoulder. While she was lying like that, she fell asleep at his shoulder. He just watched her. It was a perfect date. But it wasn't right? Just two friends having dinner and watch a movie. What is wrong about that? Nothing! That's the problem… Tony looked at the clock 2AM?? He had to be at the office at 7.
He grabbed the DVD out of the recorder and turned off the TV. Then he turns all the lights out and he walks to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He had already showered earlier, because they had to go through garbage that afternoon. Tony walks into his bedroom with his sweatpants and t-shirt on. He let himself drop on his bed and starts thinking again. Before he knows he was sleeping. He lay there on his bed, his head on his pillow.
The next morning.
PIEP PIEP PIEP
His alarm was going of. Tony looked at it 9.30.
''SHIT!!''
He has to be on the office at 7 but probably he had been sleeping through his alarm. Tony looked at his cell-phone: 1 missed call from Gibbs, 4 missed calls from McGee, and 7 missed calls from Ziva. She woud have probably saved his as. IF he had answered the call. Did he sleep through his ringtone and alarm? That is impossible! Then Tony remembered he had been drinking last night. Not such a good idea. A hang-over when there is going to be a big criminal at NCIS, really isn't a good idea. Gibbs is going to kill him. With that thought he jumps out of his bed and runs into the bathroom he cleaned himself up and grabbed some clothes, those which were nearby. He runs through the hall way grabs his keys. He stomach was desperate for food. Walking through the door he saw that he didn't have his car keys.
''Aww come an!!! This can't be happening right now''
He runs back into the house and grabs his car keys. Closes the door and drives away in his car. Tony was going to the NCIS headquarters. His radio was turned on. He heard a familiar song. The song where he and Ziva had been dancing on least year at the Christmas party. He should have kissed her then. Only when he was about 2 inches away Gibbs got him out of there and gave him a lecture about rule 12. But that wouldn't stop him right? Well the Christmas party wasn't coming up soon. If him and Ziva getting together could wait 7 whole months. Just them dancing, together, no one blaming them. Perhaps on her birthday or a date. Yes that he would do. Ask her over for dinner and then dance and……. He had arrived at the headquarters. Normally it would take about 20 minutes to NCIS but this time only 10. It looked like he had driving lessons from Ziva. Ziva……
DING
The elevator door opened. Tony comes running out of it. Ziva sees it and she stands up, Tony throws his bag under his desk. She looks at him from down to top, more known as check out. But she didn't let him notice it otherwise he would make some kind of joke from it. Not that she minded that but not now. She came out of her thoughts and walks into him.
''Where were you?? Gibbs is going to KILL you!!!''
''I slept through my alarm…''
''And cell-phone!!! I've called you like a couple times ''
''And cell-phone.. I've called you like a thousand times Zee-vah.''
McGee came walking out of MTAC heading to the squad room. Gibbs was right behind him. Tony wanted to run, but it was too late for that. He stands there with Ziva standing next to him. She looks like saying something. But she didn't.
''DiNozzo nice from you to join us'' Gibbs walked right into him.
''I am sorry boss, it is just… I …''
''You went drinking again''
''Well... ehhmmm..Yes''
''It wasn't a question''
''Right''
''Well you guys can take the afternoon off''
'''Why?'' Tony was right away sorry for what he asked. Gibbs slapped him. ''All clear boss''
''Good, well the criminal isn't aloud to get out off the isolate cell. He found it so important to kill his 'roommate'. So he has to visit us another time to tell him where he dumped his bodies.''
They all looked at each other. Not hesitating to pack their gear and go home. Vance walked away back to his office, with a tooth pick in his mouth. Gibbs walked to the elevator probably to get some coffee and work on some cold cases before he would go home get drunk and work on his boat. But at the last moment he decided to go to MTAC where he had just been. He stood there on the stairs watching his team take of.
''I am going home right now before someone changes his mind, see you guys tomorrow!''
''Bye McGee.''
''Sleep tight Probie! Ziva wait!!''
Tony was speaking loud so that the whole office could hear him. Ziva stopped, she was already on her way to the elevator. Tony walked up to her.
''Yes Tony…..'' She was dangerously close.
''Do you want to come over for dinner tonight? I'll cook. Maybe watch a movie or something afterwards?''
''Are you sure?
''100%''
''I mean I was there the day before yesterday. I don't want to be a … ''
''So what?'' Tony heard straight away the song So What from Pink in his head. ''I like it when you are with me..''
'It's a date.'' Ziva blushed, she tried to hide it which wasn't that easy. '' How does 7 am sounds?''
''Great see you then!''
Did she just say date?
He blushed, something he had never done before while he asks someone on a date. Or wasn't it a date? This was different, he was actually thinking that he was in love with her. But what if she doesn't feel the same way about it? And tonight he is going to find out. What will she wear?
Don't concentrate on that Anthony.. you've got some cooking to do.
He sees Ziva stepping into the elevator she throws him a big smile. He smiles back. Then he remembers that he is out of food. He has been hungry a lot for the almost 4 days. So first he had to go to the supermarket and buy some flowers. For on the table of course and for Ziva. While he was thinking of al the things he had to do, he grabbed his stuff and also walked to the elevator. Gibbs was staring at him, he had been standing there the whole time on the stairs by MTAC. Is his agent going to cross the line? He decides to talk to him about that later.
Tony jumps out of his car. Walks into the supermarket and buys the stuff he needs. About ten minutes later he walked out of the store. There was definitely someone hitting on him, a gorgeous blond. But he ignored her and continues walking to his car. Something he probably would have never done, if he wasn't that into Ziva. The blond was definitely pissed, but he didn't mind. It was only 12 o'clock so he had plenty of time. Before his date….. While he was driving home he was loudly singing along with a song. He drummed the beat on his steering wheel. Gavin DeGraw song I'm in love with a girl was coming through the speakers. Tony turned up the volume.
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better,
Fell for the woman just when I met her
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
Someone understands,
And she knows how to treat a fella right
Give me that feeling every night
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
Now someone understands me
He just loves this song, it actually says everything. Well except for the last 4 lines, but he was working on that.
When Tony arrived home he first took a shower. A really long shower, so that he had more time to think and because he hadn't showered this morning. Before he knew he was standing under the shower for over 45 minutes. He picked out some clothes for now and for tonight. He wanted it to be perfect. Maybe they could talk about getting together or something? Wait! He was going to fast for himself,
what if she didn't felt the same way… Don't bring up that thought..
Tony was trying to think positive, which wasn't that easy for him to do. Tony was walking into his living room checking out his DVD's
Which shall we watch to night? Maybe Made of Honor… A bit romantic but also funny..
Yes, that's was the one they were going to watch tonight. If she wanted of course..
He continues walking to his stereo. He grabs a CD from his collecting and put in it. He got this one from Abby, she just put some numbers on it. Tony had never listened to it, but this felt like the right time to do it. He recognizes the first song out of thousands. The blues brothers with everybody need somebody to love, seriously who hasn't seen that movie or knows that song? He bet that even Ziva has seen it.
And please remember people –
Tony was running around his apartment like a fool. Turning up the volume he started to sing alone with the song. Which wasn't the first time today. But he didn't care because he has a date with Ziva tonight.
That no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive -
He grabs a broom, which was standing lonely in the corner of his living room. Tony pretended like it was a microphone.
There are still some things that make us all the same -
you - me - them - everybody - everybody
He pointed at every object standing in the room. Then the chorus fell in.
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love.
Someone to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss
Sweetheart (to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I need you you you, I need you you you, I need you you you
In the morning you you you,
When my soul's on fire.
Tony continued fooling around and ended up standing on his couch.
''Thank you!!! Thank you!!!'' He bent pretending like he was standing for lots of people.
He was still holding the broom in his right hand. He didn't realized that he was standing on his couch until he tried to walk away but there was no floor underneath him. It obviously wasn't that high from his couch but it did hurt.
Tony was cursing and tried to stand up but decided to just sit there for a while. He was out of breath and his ass really hurts like hell. He leaned back and lay against the couch. Before he knew he was fast asleep.
Tony woke up for the second time today. It was nearly 6 pm. Tony jumped up and started to cook, when everything was ready in the kitchen he quickly dressed up the table and put some flowers on it. Then he ran into the bathroom took a quick shower, put on his clothes and did his hair.
I am ready…
He was wearing black pants with a navy blue shirt and a black tie. Ziva always said that he looked good in blue, so he decided that it would be blue. That's is how he came to the thought what she will be wearing… again. Blue was his favorite color but that changed when he and Ziva were undercover. Because she had a dark green dress on. He grabbed a other cd which was much more romantic. Tony was hoping that she would appreciate that. The minute he would notice she doesn't, he would change the CD just to be sure. He checked on dinner again, grabs a bottle of wine and two glasses. After that he turned to the table and decided to change the way it stood. It was actually good but he wanted it to stand perfect.
O my god I am even worried about how the table stands…
Tony laughed at his thought and walked quickly to the bathroom, checking his hair. When he was looking in the mirror, he actually started to get nervous. He Anthony DiNozzo playboy was nervous?
Why am I in gods name nervous?
He threw some water in his face hoping that he would be less nervous after that. Which is impossible. But he likes to think that it works, it made him more confident. Then he took a leak and walks back to the living room, checked on dinner again. It smelled awesome, he hoped that it would taste just as good. Tony looked at the clock, five minutes until Ziva would arrive. He decided to light candles everywhere in the room.
Where are the flowers? Crap! Take it easy DiNozzo.. It is just a date.. with Ziva.. Where was I.. flowers right! Tony searched through his appartement.. On the table right!
Tony's mind was exploding, then the door bell rang. Tony didn't want to look to greedy so he walked slowly to the door.
What he saw… hard to describe. Ziva stood there wearing a dark blue dress, low cut on the back. She had her hair over one shoulder. Maybe this wasn't just a date? Tony wanted to tell everything that she looked beautiful, that he loved her… But he lost his voice. He found it luckily quick.
''Hey''
''Hey''
''You look….. you look…''
''You look good to DiNozzo''
How could I mess that up? Just say it!
''You look beautiful Zee-vah''
''Well, thank you Tony'' She was teasing him by slowly walk past him. He was obviously staring at her behind.
''Stop looking Tony''
''I wasn't looking!''
''Make that a dog wise'' She laughed at him ''It smells good, hope it tastes as good''
Believe me that's what I am hoping two
''So what are we having''
''Good question, why don't you investigate that yourself?''
''You don't know what you are cooking?''
''Of course I do…. only my grandmother gave it to my mother and she gave it to me but I can't put a name on it''
''Just when you think you've heard it all!'' They laughed.
''Shall we eat then?'' He offers his hand and she took it.
''Being a gentleman Tony?''
''Always…'' He lead her to the living room where the table and flowers where standing. He had candles light everywhere. Ziva couldn't believe her eyes. It was just so romantic, why was she actually wearing a dress? This was just friends having dinner right? Tony can't be more right? He was her partner, and probably the best friend she ever had. They were just friends… just friends.
Aw who am I kidding?
She has been thinking about Tony the entire day. About last night how could she fell a sleep on his shoulder? She didn't mind, because she liked it. When he laid his arm around her, well the couch. Her heart just melted and wished that they could stay liked that forever. Ziva came out of her thought. The reality was pretty much the same as her daydream she had today. The candles they were just so……
Tony helped her to get in the chair, not that she needed help. When she was settled he gave her the flowers which he had standing on the table.
''Tony those are beautiful!! You didn't have to do that! '' The 20 red roses said enough.
''Yes I do, because every beautiful lady should have beautiful flowers''
Where did that came from?Ziva blushed again. This is going great!!
Tony walks to the kitchen to serve dinner.
''Voila!! Bon appétit!!''
''Bon appétit'' Tony raised his glass.
''A toast to us''
''To us''Ziva raised her glass and met Tony's.
It was tasted good, everything went great and the spent the entire time talking about their childhood and stuff. They found out things about each other they would have never known otherwise. They actually talked about everything except work. That would probably spoil everything. Just the mind of Gibbs giving his rule 12 lecture again. Tony grabbed the dishes and put them in the sink. Ziva wanted to help clean up, but he didn't want that. After he quickly washed everything he returned to the living room finding Ziva looking through his DVD collection.
''See anything interesting?''
''Yes''
''Which one?''
''I was more talking about you…..''
What am I doing? Ziva couldn't believe she just said that.
Tony walked to his DVD collection with a big smile on his face.
''Do you want to watch a movie? It's like you are here anyway so…''
''I would like that ..''
''If you don't mind I am going to change myself. Do you want a sweater or something?''
''Yes why not?'' Ziva laughed at him.
Ziva followed Tony to his bedroom looking him search through his clothes. Tony could feel that she was watching him. He grabbed a sweater and pants. Ziva had never been in his bedroom before, it felt weird. She hadn't expect it to be like this. Clean, cozy not dirty clothes everywhere like she imagined. Maybe she didn't know who he really was. That thought made her feel scared. She knew him over 4 years now, it could right. Tony turned around so that they were face to face, only a few inches apart. Neither of them seemed to mind and just stared in each others eyes.
If I just lean forward…. Tony and Ziva were sharing thoughts.
Ziva leaned in and Tony automatic leaned in two. This was what they had been waiting for all sexual tension for the past years. Then Tony's phone rang. They both walked away not knowing what to say. Tony grabbed his phone and opened it.
''DiNozzo'' He snapped.
''DiNozzo put on some clothes and David two, then get your ass to the headquarters there is a agent missing''
''What?'' Gibbs had already hung up. Tony was pissed, and how did Gibbs knew that he was having a date with Ziva? Tony threw his phone somewhere in a corner, it was broke obvious. He was very close to killing Gibbs. How could he say that? Ziva came walking to him hearing the sound of something break. Tony's smile on his face was gone, it had changed to anger. Lots of anger.
''What is wrong?''
''We have a Agent missing…''
''What is wrong about that?'
''Except that we never have a day off on NCIS?''
''Are you okay?'' Tony took a deep breath and decided not to tell Ziva about what Gibbs just said to him.
''Yes I am fine'' Tony faked a smile and grabbed his tie and put it on again. Why did Gibbs do this? He wasn't even planning on sleeping with Ziva, at least yet. Maybe kiss and lay with her on the couch, but that's it. He didn't allowed himself to let her be one off those girls.
''To bad that we couldn't watch a movie tonight..''
''How about rang-check?'' Tony grinned
''I'll keep you to that'' And Ziva threw him a smile and gently leaned in. And placed a gentle kiss on his lips, Tony who didn't knew what to do backed out.
''Sorry''
Then he leaned forward again and put his hand on her face. Ziva laid her hands around his neck. Tony stroke her hair, it was just so soft. Just like he imagined. Then he pressed his lips to hers. After a minute they were both out off breath. And just continued to look each other in the eyes, both finding the happiness they had been looking for so long.
''We should probably go…''
''Ýes, but I do have to change at home because there is no way Gibbs won't suspect anything if I wear this dress'' Tony chuckled and then put another kiss on her lips, sweet gentle and passionate.
''Now we really have to go.. I'll see you at the office then?''
''See you later Tony'' Ziva turned around and put a smile on her face. She drove home hoping that the case wouldn't last their whole weekend. Tony looked at her walking out his door, into her car. He threw her a smile before she drove away.
