Talk about annoying something had been hitting Ziva's window for the past ten minutes, but she chose to ignore it. Thinking that it was probably just the tree. She would ask her father tomorrow to have that branch cut down.

PING

That definitely wasn't the tree she decided pulling her knife out of her dresser drawer if she had learned anything since the year she had joined mossad it was to always have a weapon on the ready. She silently walked over to her window and smiled at the scene before her dropping her knife on the bed she opened her window.

"Ziva my love come with me.", the man who had been throwing pebbles at her window called out to her.

"Almir, what are you doing here? My father will have your head."

"Come my little jewess. I have something for you."

"But my fath-" she began to say before Almir cut her off.

"He's never been able to stop you before."

Ziva contemplated this for a moment then disappeared into her room. Anyone else would think she had turned his offer down but Almir knew her better then her own mother knew her. She was getting dressed. She came back to the window in a pair of jeans and t-shirt her long dark hair pulled up out of her eyes. She smiled at him and leaped gracefully from the window in a catlike manner. She jumped on the back of his moped.

"I will never understand how you do that. My Ziva."

"They taught me at mossad." she replied cheekily "Now go." she ordered. Almir laughed and sped off into the night. The wind swept through Ziva's hair she had to bite a yell of freedom. What could be better then a midnight ride thought the city with the man you loved? Even if technically he was the enemy. He was a hamas soldier. Sworn to take out Jews. Just as she was sworn to kill those who's life mission was to kill Jews, But her and Almir had grown up together. They had been best friends for a long as they could remember more recently lovers.

"Where are you taking me?", Ziva half yelled over the roaring of the wind in her ears.

"You're an impatient one my Ziva.", was his only reply they where silent for the remainder of the trip. Ziva so wrapped up in her surroundings, trying best to figure out where Almir was taking her. Almir on the other hand was wrapped up in the seventeen year old behind him. The way her thighs felt against his and her shampoo, he could smell it even with the wind taking the sent away from them. And her hot breath against his neck. He shivered suddenly the bike swerving momentarily. He regained control and turned down an alleyway stopping right in front of a door.

"What is this?" She asked eyeing the door suspiciously.

Almir grinned at her. "Curiosity killed the cat."

"Curiosity kept the mossad agent alive." She muttered just loud enough for him to hear it. He turned around abruptly. All playfulness from before was gone from his face he was serious now. "You know I would never do anything to hurt you right?"

"Who are you kidding Almir. It's your job to hurt me." She said looking him directly in the eye. There was a hint of sadness in her voice like she knew this wouldn't work. That they couldn't possible be together forever like they had planed.

"And yours to hurt me. But I think you know neither of us would knowingly hurt the other."

"Of course not I could never hurt you Almir.", She whispered placing a kiss on his lips. "Now show me."

"Does mossad not teach you patients?" Ziva shot him a glare and he took her hand in his leading her into the empty building. Inside she was met with a table sitting in the middle of the room two unlit candles on it along with food.

"Is this your new apartment."

"No, it's our apartment.". He smiled down at her "Marry me Ziva."

"Almir are you sure I mean we're so young!". She looked at him her eyes large with excitment

"Ziva if I'm sure about anything it's that I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"What about HAMAS and Mossad?", she looked terrified.

"We will figure that out when we come to it."

Ziva nodded and bit her lip as if she was still unsure. "Okay but one condition."

He smiled at her and put both hands on her hips and pulled her toward him feathering light kissed on her lips cheeks and neck. "Anything." He said.

"Promise me you you'll never leave me Almir."

"I can't promise you that.", He said his voice was horse with emotion.

"But you must! You love me Almir do you not?", she asked suddenly worried

Almir pursed his lips "I will always love you my little bird."

"Then promise me!"

"You are as stubborn as a child but I promise never will I leave you."
