Need You Now
Ziva sat in her apartment, alone on Valentine's Day, just like she always was. Deep down, she knew it was because she pushed any guy that showed interest in her away. But none of them were him, so she didn't want them anyway.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
She thought about the memories she had of him, all the ones she had collected over the years. She thought about calling him, and even dialed his number, before realizing what a bad idea that would be. He might be the one thing on her mind all the time, but that didn't mean he felt the same way.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
Ziva glanced at the clock and realized how late it was. Technically, it wasn't even Valentine's Day anymore. She picked up the phone once more, and this time she couldn't help herself. She dialed his number and pressed send. She needed this. She needed him.
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind?
For me it happens all the time.
Tony glanced at his door, wishing against all hope that Ziva would show up and bust it down. He grabbed another beer and sat down on his couch, thinking about Ziva. He could never seem to get her off his mind.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I've lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now.
He had been kicked out of the bar he was at a little after midnight, so he went back to his place to drink some more. At this point he would do anything to numb the loneliness he felt any time he thought about Ziva. His phone rang, startling him out of his thoughts. He picked it up without looking at the number and said, "Hello?"
"Tony", he heard Ziva's voice say over the phone, "Can I come over?"
Oh whoa
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
"Sure," he heard himself say. He straightened up his apartment, preparing himself for when she got there. He knew he would be disappointed when she didn't show up. This had happened before and every time she never showed, then pretended nothing happened at work the next morning.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Well I don't know how I can do without.
I just need you now
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.
Ziva took a deep breath, then rang the doorbell. She didn't turn around halfway there like all the other times because she was finally ready to accept how she felt.
Tony got up and opened the door, not actually believing this was happening. Maybe he was imagining it all in an alcohol-induced haze.
As soon as Tony opened the door all the way, Ziva launched herself as him, kissing him passionately. She breathed a sigh of relief when he kissed her back and pulled her into the apartment.
Author's Note: So what did you think? Review and let me know. Also, I'm thinking about making this a collection of (probably unrelated) Tiva songfics, so let me know if you have a song or story idea you want to see me write about.
Also, if you liked this story I have several other songfics from different categories.
