Summary: Kate lets some important information slip, to the wrong person.
Anthony DiNozzo loved women. He loved the look of them, the smell of them, the sound of them, the taste of them. He loved them, without reservation or prejudice. Tall, short, plump, thin, old, young, their wonderful and exotic femaleness pulled him, drew him in. The slant of an eyelash, the curve of a lip, the sway of a shapely female bottom, simply delighted him.
He had done his very best to show as many women as possible his boundless appreciation for them as a gender.
He considered himself a lucky man, because the ladies loved him right back.
He had other loves. His family, his job, the taste of a cold beer on a hot day. But women, they would always be his true love. They were so varied, so different, and so delicious.
He was smiling at one now. Even though Kate was his colleague, and he viewed her as more of a sister than anything else. When she first started working at NCIS, three years ago, he'd thought that something could have developed between them, but he knew it wasn't meant to be. Since day one she'd had eyes for someone else. At least he'd always suspected she did, that is, until today.
He watched her face go from pissed to surprised to shocked in a matter of three seconds. And he just went on smiling.
Kate stood in front of him, in the middle of NCIS headquarters, with her hand over her mouth in horror. She'd said it, actually verbalized it. And not only had she said it, she'd said it to the person who would give her the most crap about it.
Of course, she hadn't meant to say it. She'd gone three years without saying it out loud. Holding it back, hoping that if she didn't say it out loud it would go away. But now it was said, and in a weird way she saw her fate seal. There was no way to take back what she just let fly out of her mouth. And now she had to face the fact that it was true and she could no longer fight it, it was stupid to think she ever really had a chance.
Now she not only had to deal with the fact that she said it, she had to deal with the fact that she told the one person who might not keep it to himself. She would trust Tony with her life, but she wasn't sure she could trust him with this information. But it was out of her hands now; she could do nothing but sit back and keep a steady eye on him and his mouth.
