Greetings from the past
Eric and Nell had finally moved into an apartment together, but in Eric's opinion there was something missing in their shared apartment and so he said: "I don't know what yet exactly but something is missing in this room and trust me Rockstar, I'll find out what is missing here to give the room a little upgrade."
Nell just grinned back at him and replied: "I didn't know that you have a passion for room decorating Beale but now I'm surely intrigued." Then just totally spontaneously she gave him a short peck on his cheek, Eric also now moved a little closer as he was also intending to kiss her but instead he started to tickle her at her weak spot and the two now landed on the couch in the living room. She laughed so much that almost tears of joy ran down her face and said in between breathers: "Please stop I'm ticklish. " But to Eric's big surprise, his girlfriend had still some tiny little trick up in her sleeve and before he was able to react, she had reversed the roles and now he was pinned down on the couch. Then there was silence between the two for a while before Eric finally said: "I have a lot of hidden talents, that you don't know about and I promise you that you absolutely love my big surprise." Then the two finally got up from couch and as Eric went to the fridge to get him something to drink Nell asked: "Do I maybe get a little hint from you considering the surprise?"
He turned around with that special smile on his face, that would always make her knees feel a little like jelly and replied: "Sorry Rockstar, no hints because then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore." She then pretended to be sad about that, by looking with her best puppy dog eyes look at him in the hope, that she would somehow make budge like she was able to do it most of the times.
He grinned back at her, knowing exactly what she was trying do here and he said: "Don't look at me like that, I won't tell you anything this time." Nell then also tried her best sad face, folding her arms in front of her chest but that ended in both laughing for a couple of minutes, as Eric made some funny grimaces with his face and that made her instantly crack up no matter how hard she tried to keep her composure. As they finally had recollected themselves Nell was the first to speak: "I think I'm going to make lunch now, don't know about you but I'm getting hungry."
After Eric had poured himself some water into a glass he replied: "That sounds very good to me Rockstar, surprise with your exceptional cooking skills."
That made her think: *I think that he really knows to make feel like I'm flying on Cloud Nine every time he comes up with one compliment.* She then kissed him on his right cheek short and answered back: "Thank you very much but now the cook needs some space so get the table ready."
"Will do Ma'am." Eric replied with a little smirk on his face and in the best serious tone she said:
"Don't call me Ma'am, because I'm not that old yet." Then she playfully hit him on one arm, but smiled at him a little bit before he turned around and took two plates out of one of the kitchen cabinets. She loved to goof around a little bit and in his presence it was really hard not to laugh with him, because his laugh was just contagious: you couldn't do anything else than join in when he said something funny.
After Eric had finally finished getting the kitchen table ready for lunch, he sit down watching his girlfriend cook from the distance and thought: *I'm really so happy that I'm together with the girl of my dreams and she's just…perfect.* He was busy with drooling for a couple of minutes till he heard Nell calling his name a couple of times and saying: "Hey wake up, earth to Eric Beale are you still there?" Eric was quickly out of his trance, being a little embarrassed at first but trying his best to recover from it: "Sorry I was just busy with…." He started to say but Nell couldn't withstand to opportunity to finish the sentence for him: "…drooling, I know that because it was just that plain obvious and there's absolutely no need to be embarrassed."
She quickly smiled at him before she walked back into to the kitchen or else she would probably forget about the meal on the stove, then they wouldn't have anything to eat and she totally hated to order fast food.
Somewhere else in LA former Navy Lt. Steve Marks was sitting at home alone in his very little apartment, a bottle of his favorite beer in hand and the only thing he could think about was: revenge, revenge against the one woman that had ruined his life. Why didn't she feel the same way he did? He had practically showered her with gifts but she kept calling him crazy, telling him that she didn't feel the same way but he didn't want to let go off Nell Jones and so it ended in a bad way for him: He was thrown out of the Navy and then she went to court to get a restraining order against him and then they put him into a mental institution for a couple of years to make things worse. Since the very beginning for his career the most people around him had conspired against him: He didn't get his well-deserved promotion for example.
He had really thought that Nell was different than the other people, totally understanding what people were doing to him all the time but he was proven wrong: She also turned on him in the end, like all the others had done it before but her and all the others were going to pay for doing him wrong.
AN: This is my newest Story about the best couple on NCIS-LA in my opinion, because those two just have the perfect chemistry between each other. I hope you like the first chapter, please read and review.
