I wanna touch your skin, I wanna taste it
I wanna feel that love like we used to make it
It was late at night when Jen took a look at her calendar. A special day was coming. She had never really thought or cared about it until now. She had been denying it, pretending those feelings were dead. It was all a lie. They might have been buried deep in her heart but they were alive, very much alive. His touch still gave her chills. His cranky smile still made her giggle. And his deep blue eyes, she could get lost every time. She felt a gulp in her throat. A crazy thought run through her mind but did she have the guts? She kept looking at the calendar.
Gibbs was sitting at his desk all by himself. His team had already finished the papers and had gone home. Gibbs stood behind finishing his papers. When he was done he headed upstairs. As always he didn't knock at the door.
Here it is – he said as he dropped the papers on Jen's desk
Jen jumped on her chair. She was lost in her thoughts.
I didn't mean to scare you, Jen – said Gibbs
I … I was thinking about something – she blushed
I'm going home. You should go too, Jen - said Gibbs
As she didn't reply he headed to the door. He was almost by the door when he heard her heels against the floor
Jethro – her voice made him stop
Yes, Jen? – he asked unsure of what was going on
She tried to avoid his eyes but she just couldn't. He kept staring at her as she didn't talk.
Are you doing anything tomorrow? – she finally asked
No, not really. Why? – he asked with curiosity
Do you wanna go out? - noticing his glare she added – as two friends
Gibbs smiled before leaving. Jen went after him
So what about tomorrow? – she asked confused with his reaction
I'll be waiting for you Jen – he replied without stopping or turning back
The biggest smile appeared on Jen's face as she turned back to her office.
Well, I love you guys – said DiNozzo as he got up of his chair – but I really need to go. You see, I have this beautiful lady waiting for me – a stupid grin appeared on his face as he put on his jacket – I'll see you all tomorrow!
Oh, boss if you don't mind I gotta go too – said McGee as he got up
You got a date?! – said DiNozzo in shock as he turned back
Yeah … you got a problem with that? - replied McGee
Not at all, McLucky! – said DiNozzo smiling
Since everybody is leaving, I think I'm going too – said Ziva as she turned her off her computer.
Don't tell me you got a date too? – asked Tony
Ziva laughed – You didn't actually believe you were the only one?
Tony looked at her in disbelief.
Close your mouth, Tony – said Ziva laughing as she picked up her bag
Are you going to stay here boss? – asked McGee as he got next to DiNozzo
Yeah – replied Gibbs
Are you sure? – asked McGee once more
Gibbs stared at McGee.
McRomeo, let's go - said DiNozzo as he grabbed McGee's arm
Gibbs laughed as his team walked to the elevator. He looked upstairs and a grin appeared on his face. He kept smiling as he went back to his papers. He wasn't sure what he was doing only that he had to kill time and that was killing him. Why? He didn't know, they were only going out as friends after all.
Gibbs was so lost in his own world that he didn't hear Jen coming down the stairs.
Ready? – she simple said
Gibbs looked up meeting her gaze. He smiled as he said yes. He got up from his chair, his eyes checking her out. She was wearing a strap purple dress that hit just a little bit above her knee, the cleavage wasn't much just enough to let him leering. And to make it perfect she was wearing black high sandals that made her legs stand out even more.
Are you just gonna keep staring at me? – she said calling his attention
Gibbs just smiled and grabbed his coat. He put his hand on her lower back as they headed to the elevator.
Are we going anywhere fancy? – asked Gibbs intrigued
Why? – wondered Jen
You're wearing a dress! – he stated
It's just a dress, Jethro – replied Jen with a small giggle
They went on Jen's car although Gibbs didn't allow her to drive. But since it was Jen who knew where they were going she had to give him the directions. Following Jen's directions Gibbs drove them to their favorite Chinese restaurant in town. A smile appeared on his face.
I told you we weren't going anywhere fancy – she said reading his mind
Gibbs opened up the door and left the car. He waited for her before starting walking in the direction of the restaurant. Jen took his arm and let her head fall in his shoulder. She smiled. Once inside the restaurant, Gibbs helped Jen taking out her coat before taking out his own. They ordered their favorite meal and a bottle of red wine. Gibbs looked around the restaurant was full with couples sharing love through each other.
It's Valentine's – said Jen noticing Gibbs
Did you bring me here 'cause it's Valentine's? – he asked her intrigued
Jethro, no one should be alone on Valentine's – she replied before drinking her glass of wine
Gibbs stared at her before his thoughts were interrupted by the waiter. They enjoyed their food. There were no words about work, well at least no directly. They didn't talk about their jobs but about his team, their family. He caressed her hand although he was afraid she would push him away. But she didn't. Instead she smiled the brightest smile he had seen in awhile. She caressed his hand back making him grin, the same grin that could always melt her heart. They talked about the present and remembered the past. Time flew by. Stubborn as she was Jen didn't let him paid the bill.
I was the one who invited you – she simple said giving her card to the waiter
Gibbs rolled his eyes, he knew there was nothing he could to make her change her mind.
I don't wanna go home - said Jen when he parked the car in front of her house
Then don't - replied Gibbs
But I don't wanna be alone too! – she stated
What do you want? - he softly asked her
A walk? – she asked innocently
She didn't have to ask twice, the moment after he was by her side of the car waiting for her to get out.
So let's go – he said holding her hand in his.
The starts were shinning more that night. The moon was brighter that mine. Her smile was more captivating than ever. His grin just made her heart melt more. He let go off her hand only to put his arm around her waist and bringing her closer to him. She closed her eyes and smiled. She leaned her head on his shoulder as he kissed her hair. Suddenly Gibbs laughed.
What are you laughing about? – she asked with curiosity
If Abby would see us … - replied Gibbs still laughing
She would jump right into us! And DiNozzo … - finished Jen
He wouldn't get that stupid smirk out of face! But Ziva and McGee … - continued Gibbs
They would just stare at us! Ducky wouldn't be surprise – said Jen
No, he wouldn't. Jen … - Gibbs tried to say something
If you're going to talk about the past then don't, the present is perfect. - she stated
Gibbs only pulled her even closer to his body before kissing the side of her head. She put an arm around his middle and snuggled closer to him. The starts were shinning even more. The moon was brighter than before. Her smile was bigger and his grin was still there. His arm around her waist fit perfectly. It seemed that Paris had never ended.
Here we are … again - said Gibbs has they reached to the front of her house
Yeah … how are you going home? – asked Jen remembering that they had brought her car
I'll just call a cab – replied Gibbs
So I guess I'll see tomorrow then – said Jen before kissing his cheek and turning her back to him
If I kissed you would I make this official a date? – he said all of suddenly before grabbing her arm and making her falling into his chest.
She looked him in eyes, there were dark blue. His eyes looked for an answer on hers. They were bright, brighter than before, the kind of green brighter he had always loved. It was her way to say yes. He crashed his lips on hers. His tongue started begging for an entrance and she happily let it in. He let go of her arm and put his arms around her waist as she held herself on his neck. The starts were still shinning. The moon was still brighter. The cold night suddenly got warmer. It felt like the whole world had disappeared. It was just the two of them. They weren't the Director and the Agent. They were simple Jenny and Jethro. And Paris had never ended.
