'This has got to be the most stressful day ever.' Kate thought as she walked into her apartment and tossed her purse on the coffee table and walked into her room to had been living hell for Special Agent Caitlin Todd. After a long day of investigating a "bone yard," a paternity test as DiNozzo's girlfriend, a traitor FBI agent getting shot, Fornell not actually dying, and putting Little Ricky behind bars was a lot for one day.
To make it even worse she couldn't get her mind off the beautiful kind eyed mossad officer Ari Haswari. Ever since he had kidnapped her in Ducky's morgue she had seen something in his eyes and something she could not put her finger on about him, and it had been a month and a half since he had held her at the farm. Kate sighed as she climbed into her bed putting her gun under her pillow, and snuggled deeper in her bed in sweats and an over sized tan T-shirt, thank god it was Friday.
The last thing Kate saw in her head was Ari Haswari's face as she slipped into a much needed sleep.
(Dream/flashback)
Kate gazed down at the knife in the morgue and reached for it. "Kate no!" Came the desperate whisper of Ducky. "He wants you to try!" Kate partially ignoring him picked up the knife. Then when she turned around she saw the Ari coming towards her. "Doctor Mallard thinks you were daring me to pick up this knife." Kate spoke in a bold tone. "The proper term is a dissecting tool." The cool voice corrected her. "You didn't answer my question, you just wanted another excuse to shoot Gerald didn't you?" The terrorist chuckled and turned away. Kate launched herself at him knife in her hand. Quickly Ari twisted her arm in a gentle way taking the knife out of her hand; one arm draped around her back, his hot breath hitting her face as he pulled her closer and his kind eyes gazing down on her. To make it worse their lips were dangerously close to each other. "I had no intention of shooting Gerald again Caitlin." The voice soothed her, in barley a whisper he said to her "I did however want to see…if I was right about you." In front of them Ducky watched them with concerned eyes.
Kate bolted upright with a fresh layer of sweat on her. "Oh my god." I mutter to myself. I check the clock by my night stand. 4:32. "Stupid mossad mole haunts my dreams." I growl to myself as I hit my pillow and close my eyes that were still tired. "Really is that so Caitlin?" The Middle Eastern accented voice asked me. I froze and my eyes wandered to the direction of my doorway to see a beautiful face and kind eyes staring at me that I failed to see before. Ari Haswari's kind face and eyes to be exact. _
"Ari!" I snarled. He chuckled in response with an arrogant smirk. I snatched the gun under my pillow and aimed it at him. 'Oh my god! What in hell's name was he doing in my apartment? Why is he in the states? How did he get back in the states? What the hell's going on?' "Bastard!" I screeched. He responded with a chuckle.
"Get out now or I'll shoot you!" The words just slipped out of my mouth. He only smiled as he walked towards me. All my insides were screaming to shoot him but my heart screamed not to. He sat down where I was laying and slid the gun out of my hand and put it on my night stand. I came to my senses enough to speak.
"What are you doing here?" I asked in a very cold tone. "Caitlin, Caitlin, is this how you greet guests? I merely wanted to visit you." His smirk disappeared and he gazed at me with kind eyes. 'Would I really believe that? No way not a chance.' "Get out." I repeated. He smiled gently.
"Caitlin I am not here to hurt you." 'Would I believe that either? Nope.' "Oh yeah that's real likely. You sure your not here to kidnap me? Or maybe you're here to hold me ransom or kill me. If your going to do something you might as well do it." "Caitlin I meant what I said I will not hurt you." He sighed and leaned in close to my face and stared at me with his kind eyes for a minute. His tone was soothing and his eyes inviting. For some odd reason him being in her bedroom didn't bother her which was definitely bad. And for some reason this time she believed him this time. Still tired the silence and his warm presence was slowly making her drift back to sleep as I laid my head back on my pillow. "Y-you shouldn't be here… not safe." I mumbled. "Alright if you really want me to leave." His hurt tone didn't please her when he got up.
"N-no w-wait." I begged, realizing him leaving is not what I wanted anymore, for some odd reason I wanted him to stay. My tone was tired and he obviously noticed. He sat back down on my bedside. "W-what are you do oohing here?" I mumbled. "Shhh we can talk when you wake up, sleep Caitlin I will be here when you wake up." He slowly and gently ran his fingers through my hair, very slowly like he was lullabying me back to sleep. A second later he heard her gentle breathing signaling she was asleep. Ari watched her for a while before slowly backing out of her room. He made his way to her couch and took of his shoes.
"Hmmmm." He mumbled out loud as he thought of how Caitlin would react to him in the morning, after all when she first saw him she was obviously very tired and she may not be so generous about not shooting him, and when she was fully rested and alert to anything he might be in actual danger. He knew that beautiful face could shoot him but he hoped she wouldn't. He sighed as he lay down on the couch and went to sleep.
Alright tell me how I did like I said it was my first fic so be gentle. Reviews make me happy.
