-Director Shepard gave me these- Abby said waving the knuckle dusters. Gibbs smiled as a memory surfaced, one of his favourites.
-Why are you smiling?- she asked pulling her knees closer to he chin but Gibbs had akready drifted into the memory
-What do you mean we have to share a room- Jenny exclaimed angrily. Her boss had gone to check his team into their hotel for the night when he had been told that there were only two rooms left.
-Exactly what i said- he replied before walking towards the elevator.
-Unless you want to share with Decker or Burley your stuck with me-. She sighed before following him to the elevator. They didn't speak until he opened the door.
-You have to be kidding me, 1 bed?- she cried dropping her bag just inside the door.
Unbeknownst to the two of them Decker and Burley were listening on through the wall of their room next door.
-20 bucks says she kicks him to the couch- Burley whispered knowing full well what was going to happen.
-Your on- Decker replied before moving closer to the wall.
-Toss a coin- Gibbs suggested as he went to put his bags on the bed.
-I don't think so- Jenny said jumping onto the bed and facing him before pointing at the sofa.
-You are such a red-head Shepard- he mumbled before moving to the sofa and dumping his bags next to it. He could hear Decker and Burley laughing on the other side of the wall and knew that they had been listening. He smacked the wall and the laughing stopped which made him smile.
6 hours later ...
-Damm sofa, can't get comfortable- he grumbled after falling off it for the 5th time. Once ha had climbed back on he noticed that Jenny was throwing herself around in the bed and looking altogether quite distressed.
-Hey Shepard- he said as he walked towards her. When he neared the edge of the bed he noticed that he seemed to be wearing only bed shorts and a tank top.
-This is going to be awkward- he mumbled as he sat next to her on the mattress.
-Shepard wake up- he said quietly before grabbing her by the arms and shaking her.
-Jen, its just a nightmare- he whispered hoping that she would wake up. What he didn't count on was her reflexes being so good when she was alseep and that she would spin him over and have a fist pushed under his chin.
-Jen what the hell-
-What are you doing in my bed?-
-Actually the better question is why the hell are you sleeping with knuckle dusters on?-
She still hadn't released her grip on him when she replied,
-For protection, who knows what sort of idiots might try to climb into my bed- and gave him a pointed look.
-You were having a nightmare, i was only trying to make sure you were okay- he explained noticing that her top was riding up her toned stomach. When she realized where his gaze had drifted to she pushed her hand a little harder into his neck,
-My eyes are up here Marine- she said leaning in closer to him. He leant up and placed her a quick kiss on her lips. she looked down at him before claiming his lips for her own. She finally removed her hand from under his chin, the dusters leaving a mark that would almost definitely bruise, so that she could run her hands through his salt and pepper hair.
-Now are you going to get off me- he asked when they broke apart to breathe.
-No i like it up here- she smiled before leaning back down.
Abby nudged him, trying to get his attention,
-Hey whats the smile for- she asked again. He just shook his head and pulled her into a hug and smiled at the dusters. He might have to borrow them and pay a visit to the Madame Director ...
