DISCLAIMER HERE!!! SEE??!!
Ever since I was a kid, I've had very life-like dreams. Made for some killer nightmares about boogy-men when I was five, and, with what I see in my job, some killer nightmares about a scarier reality. But on the plus side, the nice dreams are wonderful!
You know the dream when they fly in through the window? I can actually feel the breeze on my face as the curtain flaps open and can feel their warmth when they come towards me. Sounds great huh? Yeah, well that was until the man in the dreams started to take the shape of a certain obnoxious-but-oh-so-cute co-worker.
Yes that's right. I, Kate Todd, have been having rather pleasant dreams about Tony DiNozzo.
That can't be too bad, I hear you all say, he's a hottie! Well let me tell you something – it's very bad. Not the dreams (they're wonderful!), but the fact that he's my co-worker. Very, very bad.
Lately I'd been having a reoccurring dream where he's standing over the bed when I open my eyes and he leans down and kisses me… and I won't bore you with the rest of the details.
Normally this dream leaves me feeling great and I go to work happier than ever, knowing that in my dreams anything is possible. But last night we all had to stay the night in the office as we were working on a tough case. I made a make-shift bed behind my desk and fell into another great sleep with the same dream.
When I opened my eyes, there was Tony standing above me and I leaned up and kissed him full on the lips. Only when my senses became alert to my surroundings and I noticed I wasn't in my bed, did I realize I wasn't dreaming. My eyes opened in shock and I pulled back immediately and ran to the ladies room.
I cannot tell you how awkward today has been. Neither of us has said a word about the… incident, but Tony keeps sneaking me glances all the time and I can tell he's thinking up all these stupid jokes to use later.
At 6pm I lay my head down on the desk and let a small groan escape my lips.
"Go home," Gibbs tells us as he rounds the corner. "You did good today."
I pack up my things and get into the elevator, hoping to beat DiNozzo to it. I fail and he slips in behind me. There's a moment's strained silence before Tony clears his throat.
"Don't Tony. I'm sorry about this morning. I was dreaming and… please can we forget it happened?" I think I could absolutely die from embarrassment at any moment.
"OK… but –"
"Please DiNozzo, drop it?"
"One question?"
"What?"
"You dream about me?"
"I can't control my dreams DiNozzo. It's not as though they mean anything… or anything…" I trail off and avoid his gaze, willing the elevator doors to open.
"So you don't… you regret it?"
I looked at him, surprised. He sounded so disappointed. I open my mouth to say something but in one sudden move I'm pressed against the elevator wall and he's kissing me.
Who needs dreams when reality is better?
A/N: Sorry if that was awful. I had twenty minutes to kill before I had to go out and that's what came out when I sat down. Even if you didn't like it, review? Even if it's just a number between 1 and 10. I'm trying for a goal of 1000 reviews before the new year. I'm up to 912-ish. Please review!? Thank you, Rachel.
