This is my first Fic. I thank you for all reviews.
7 months ago: Kensi joined Gibbs team after Deeks told her he loved her. 1 month ago: He told her he was engaged to Sarah. Present: Deeks is at Kensi's Place in Washington...
"Damn it Kensi, I'm not going to let you run away. Since you don't have a reason for me not to marry Sarah, I do. I love you. You said 'to enjoy my happiness'; well I can't because she isn't what makes me happy. It's you. Also there's the fact that she never existed. I hoped that seeing me engaged would see your mistake... but since you're impossibly stubborn that never happened. I regret a lot of things I have done Kens, but I regret even more the things I haven't done. So that's why I'm going to do this..."
I grab her face, cupping it and close the distance between us connecting our lips. Kensi resists and tries to pull away, but I don't let her. Finally she gives into the kiss and returns it. We break reluctantly when air becomes an issue. I look at her and she's crying. I release my hold on her.
"Go ahead Kensi, you can run. You'll never get away though, I'll follow you until you stop running from me, from us. I know you feel the same way I do. You just keep trying to convince yourself that you don't, because you're afraid of getting hurt, afraid of love."
She just stands there crying. I turn to leave. As I walk away she says "Deeks..." in barely a whisper. "Wait" she continues. I stop as I hear her walking towards me and turn around. She runs the remaining distance to me, grabbing my face and goes up on her toes. Our lips crash together and tongues collide. She then pulls away
"I'm sorry" she says with a sob. I pull her to me, holding her tightly and stroking her hair. Her head pressed against my chest. "It's okay Kens" I soothe. She looks up. "You're right Marty. I was afraid of us, what it would do to our jobs. I was afraid of getting hurt because everyone I've had in my life has left me one way or another, every time I let someone in I get hurt. I also didn't want you to have to deal with all my problems. I-..."
I cut her off "How could you think that Kens? I'm your partner and I love you. Your problems are my problems. If you continue down this path you're going to wake up one day and realize that your life was your job and it will be too late to change that. There's only two ways people leave this job, alone or in a body bag. You might think that it's hopeless then, but we've been the exception to every rule. We-..." It's her turn to cut me off.
"Deeks! You can stop. You win. I get it" I smile gently. "I was stupid and I'm sorry. If you believe we can do this than we can, I trust you more than anyone. I-I love you too Deeks and I hate myself for it. Your persistence was maddening, the more I pushed, the more you pulled. It's hard for me to say this and you probably won't hear me say it often, but I do love you Marty always know that even if I don't say it as much as I should."I smile my cheesy grin which brings a smile to her own face. I wipe the tears from her face with my thumbs and give her a chaste kiss.
"I know I've always portrayed myself to be a 'player' and you might have believed it but the truth is... I stopped dating the moment I met you as Jason. When I picture my future, what I want changes from time to time. The only constant is you; you're the only person I can see myself with. I trust you with my heart, my everything and you're the only one I ever will. I love you more than life itself and yes, I know it sounds cliché, but it's true. You are it for me it's you or no-one and I know this is sudden, but..." I take a deep breath. "Will you marry me Kens? I'll understand if you say no. I probably should have waited to tell you. This was probably a stupid idea. We don't even have to get married until you're ready. If at all. You prob-"
"Deeks! Stop" she cuts me of again. I see she's crying again but this time there's a smile on her face and I think I already know the answer to my question. "Of course I'll marry you, you big idiot. You never are going to learn when to stop talking are you? Now put that ring on my finger. Wow it's beautiful." "You did good Deeks. For once" she says in a condescending tone. "Was that necessary?" I ask. "Yes, yes it was and so is this..." she hits my arm. "Ow what the hell? Kensi." She grins "I wouldn't want you to think I'm going soft on you now would I, Deeks?" I just shake my head. "I guess I should say Marty considering I will be a Deeks soon too." She thinks for a moment. "Mrs. Deeks" she thinks out loud. "God that sounds weird, but I love it." I lean in and press my lips to her smile. She deepens the kiss momentarily. "I guess I should phone Hetty, hopefully she can be persuaded to give us our jobs back." I say sheepishly. "Yeah" she agrees.
"Also I think Ray deserves to know that our 'thing' worked out."
We both laugh. It's now my turn to cry, Kensi notices the tears slipping silently down my face. "What's wrong?" she asks her voice full of concern. "Nothing, I'm just so happy you changed your mind and stopped running from me... from us... God Kens you were killing me. If this hadn't worked, I don't know that I could have continued living. Your my everything Kens. I love you so much right now I can't even tell you. I love you even more than I did before if that's even possible." she just kissed me again, pouring all her emotion into it. Then we stood in silence holding each other tightly not wanting to let go. "You know I think we should get Hetty to marry us." she said finally breaking the silence. I smiled "Yeah" I agreed. We laced our hands together and left to book our flight back to LA. Hetty will be glad to have her dream team back I thought.
Review Please.
