Hi, I think that a lot of you know me because I am here every day and I review a lot, but this is my first story EVER.
I'm French so this is why I choose Paris for my first story; I thought it would be easier for a first try.
Please forgive me if I make a few mistakes and feel free to tell me.
Hope you will enjoy it. This is going to be a real Tiva story and I hope a long one.
BTW this is rated M for a reason.
Ps: a special thanks to StarkContrastStartles for pushing me to write and being my beta. This story is here because of you. Thanks. Hope you like it.
Summary: Tony is going on vacation to Paris and asks Ziva to come with him. What happens to them when they arrive in the most romantic city in the world? Set after the end of season 8. In this story EJ left after the P2P case and Ray never came back after ep 8x20.
Come with me.
Chapter 1. Introduction and idea.
Everything was finally over; it had been a long and complicated year which had ended pretty badly.
They both had tried during the year to move on with their feelings for each other, putting them aside like it had never been there, because it was complicated, and because they were too scared of what could happen between them anyway.
So it was better to just jump into the first safe and easy relationship, right? Ziva wanted someone who would not go away or hurt her, and Tony was not getting any younger and didn't want to end up old and alone, so Ray and EJ were like a perfect choice for them.
Unfortunately… or fortunately for them those relationships had not worked out and once again they were both alone and uncertain about their future.
So when vacation time arrived, neither Tony nor Ziva knew what to do but both knew that they needed to go away from DC for a while.
And that was the beginning of a very long and beautiful relationship.
"So Ziva, where are you going this summer?" he asked from his desk.
She looked at him with a sad smile. "I do not know yet. You?"
"My father wants me to join him in France next week, a friend of his is letting him stay at his house while he's on vacation, owed him a favor he said. So you know, France, big house, a pool… why not?"
"It is nice of him, you two seem to get along pretty well lately. I am happy for you. Where in France? You did not say." she asked curiously.
"I didn't? Paris." the smile on his face said it all.
"Paris. Really? Well have fun; Paris is beautiful during the summer. You are going to love it there. I have amazing memories, my mother used to take Tali and I to Paris quite often when we were young." She stopped there, lost in her memories and not trusting herself with saying more about her past and the loved ones she had lost.
"You know, my father said that it was a huge house and that I could come with a friend. And we both know how much my father loves you.
Why don't you come with me, we could have fun, you, me, Paris again? I'm gonna need someone who can speak French and show me around. And I'm sure you know a lot of good French movies, I'm gonna need someone for that too, I don't want to end up watching some weird and crappy film." He really wanted her to say yes, he loved his father but two week alone with him was A LOT, so he could use a friend, and Ziva, well, he loved spending time with her anyway (not that he would ever admit that).
"That is very nice of you but-" she began to protest but he was too quick for her.
"Come on, why not? You love Paris, and I was kidding, you don't have to spend your time with me if you don't want to, you can stay at the house and do whatever you want to during the day, if you want to be alone, that's fine with me." It was far from fine, but at least he would not be alone with his father all the time.
"I do not want to impose myself and do not be silly, I would never go on vacation with you and ditch you when we arrive." She wanted to say yes, maybe this was exactly what she needed, but she didn't want to come between him and his father and steal all the attention, plus what the others were going to think, her going on vacation with Tony? It sounded weird, right? Was it okay for friend to do that?
"You're not imposing yourself, I'm inviting you. Are you gonna make me beg? Because I might do it." he said with a serious face.
"If you are sure it is ok, then, yes. Thank you, I think I would like that. But please, tell me that we are not going to spend every night watching movies because I am sure I can kill you with a DVD too."
"Come on, I'm taking you to Paris and you're threatening me? Where are you manners, Miss David?"
"What did you do to Ziva again Tony?" McGee asked, coming back from Abby's lab.
"Me? Nothing McCurious, I'm only taking the lady to Paris." the smile on his face made Ziva roll her eyes at him and she explained the situation at McGee like it was a perfectly normal situation.

So how was it? Should I continue?
