"Hey Tony, hey Ziva," Abby said cheerfully as she waved the two NCIS agents over to the booth where her and her boyfriend, Special Agent Timothy McGee, were sitting. Special agents Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David walked over and sat across from the gothic forensic scientist and Agent McGee.
"Hello Abby," Ziva said in her heavy Israeli accent as she sat across from her
"So Probie when did this happen?" Tony asked McGee as he sat down next to Ziva.
"Um... Well... I told her I liked her after the Dunston case last month. We went on a few dates and the rest is history."
"He was so nervous when he told me that he ran into the table in my lab and tripped over my baby's cord," She said.
Tony laughed, "nice McCluts"
Ziva looked at Tony and said,"you were not as smooth yourself Tony"
Tony looked at her in horror. His eyes begged her not to tell
"What happened Ziva?" Asked McGee.
"None of your business Probie!" Tony snapped at McGee
Ziva ignored Tony as she said,"well at first he had said it so fast I had not heard what he said."
McGee and Abby were engrossed by the story where as poor Tony shifted uncomfortably obviously embarrassed by it.
"I simply asked him what he was saying wh-"
Tony cut her off by saying, " you said nod I quote 'tony slow down I cannot understand a word you are saying' "
Ziva looked at him angrily for interrupting her, however, she let it go and continued her story," he replied by saying 'don't hurt me ok but I like you and I was wondering if you wanted to go out sometime' all I did was stand up an-"
Tony again interrupted her by saying," you jumped up like you were going to kill me!"
Ziva glared at him intensely before continuing," he jumped on his desk knocking everything off of his desk then as a dog cowers he fell off the back of his desk."
"The term is cowered like a dog Ziva" Tony said.
"Smooth Tony," McGee said.
"Shut up Pobie," retorted Tony.
Abby was acting all hyperactive so Tony asked," abs how many Caf- POWs have you had today?
"Not many," she replied
The three agents looked at her
"Ok six" she confessed, "but enough on me you two said you had news so spill"
Tony looked around the small café for their boss, Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. When he was sure it was clear he leaned in close queuing the others to do the same.
"We're engaged," he said quietly.
This cause Abby to jump up screaming pulling Ziva and Tony into a hug. When they finally got her to calm down, she asked them a ton of questions.
"How did you propose?" Asked McGee
"Well first I took her to the restaurant where we had our first date then I took her for a walk where we ended up in a gazebo that I had decorated before getting there I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me." He replied
"Oh Tony that is so romantic," sighed Abby, "can I see the ring?"
Ziva produced a chain she wore around her neck she had hidden that had the ring attached to it. The right was a simple silver band with a sapphire in the middle and surrounding it were six small diamonds
"Wow that's pretty!" Exclaimed Abby
"That's a classic 1978 princess cut sapphire with 12k diamonds" said McGee.
The other three stared at him
" what?" He asked," QVC"
"You watch QVC?" Asked Tony.
"Yes" he replied
The others laughed. For the rest of the hour the four of them joked around and had a good time. Tony had just placed his arm around Ziva when Gibbs walked in causing Tony to sit up in such hast that it startled the other they looked around and saw Gibbs. Knowing there secret was blown they remained silent. Gibbs walked over to them and smacked both Tony and McGee on the back of the head.
He turned and started to walk away while saying," Dead marine in Quantico"
The three agents jumped up and grabbed their gear.
As they were walking away Ziva said to Tony,"I guess rule 12 is out"
"Ya think?" He replied as he climbed in the car.
