I was sitting in my apartment watching my favorite television show…Magnum, best damn show ever! While I was watching my show there was a powerful thunderstorm outside, which made the show even better until the damn power went out. "Well this is just great," I said to no one in particular. It took me for what felt like forever to find my flashlight, candles, and matches' then trying to light them was even harder but I managed. Then there was a soft knock on my door, when I opened the door I saw Ziva standing there soaking wet from the rain but what caught my eye was that her eyes were red from crying. "Ziva what's wrong are you okay", I said. "I'm fine…I just came to drop off the case report." "Don't just stand there like an idiot DiNozzo invite her in," I thought to myself. "Why don't you come in dry off or stay at least until the rain stops." "No I really should get going." "Please Ziva…I insist...come on you know you can't resist." "All right but only till it stops raining," she said. She came inside and sat on the couch. While we talked the rain stopped, but we didn't notice. Ziva noticed that it had stopped and said "Well looks like I'd better get going before it starts again." "NO…I mean please don't go Ziva…stay tonight." "Tony I don't think that would be appropriate." I knew I had to get her to stay so I said what I wanted to say ever since I met her. "Ziva…I love you." "Tony this is…oh forget it…I love you too." I kissed her softly on the lips, it's hard to explain how it felt to me but I felt Ziva deepen the kiss. That is all I'm going to say about this cause you pretty know what happened next between us.
The next morning I woke up to find Ziva lying across my chest and my arms wrapped around her. I noticed a long fading scar across her left shoulder; I started to trace it with my fingers when she started to stir. "Tony" she mumbled still tired from last night. "Yes Ziva my love, my life," I said. "Promise me that you won't leave me for some dumb girl looking for a good time?" "Ziva I love and I don't think I could leave you for anyone, I said, you have me forever I promise." "Tony…I love you." "I love you too Zi." Right when we were about to kiss my stupid phone had to go off. I looked at the screen an saw that it was McGee. "What do you want probie," in a very annoyed voice. "We have a dead marine at a park in Quantico and Gibbs is getting pissed that your not here yet." "All right I'll be there, give me twenty minutes." "Yea sure hey can you call Ziva for me, I have to go drive the truck an I can't call her." "Yea I'll tell her, after that I hung up without waiting for a response, Zi we have a dead marine at a park in Quantico so we have to go" "Okay I'm going to go home take a shower and put on clean clothes and will you pick me up or should I come and get you." "No it's fine I'll come and get you." She nodded and rolled off of me and walked to my bathroom and was in there for about a second when she came out fully dressed and was about to leave. "Hey Ziva wait, I said, let me walk you to your car" I quickly put on jeans and a t-shirt an d walked with her to where her car was parked. "Relax Tony I will see you in twenty minutes." "I know and Ziva…I love you." "I love you too Tony." With that she got in her car an drove down the street.
