I was sitting at home on my couch thinking about the events of this day. It had been fun meeting Ray, Deeks his old buddy, and dropping him off at the airport only to find out that Deeks was a sucker for brunettes. I smiled deviously at him and hope flared inside of me. God, it hadn't been a year of working together, but I just couldn't deny how I felt. I was falling in love with my partner.
But Ray disappeared and we had to bring in Nicole and I saw Deeks - no, Max - kiss her in the interrogation room. It was on the big screen in the 'living area' of the boatshed and it drove me absolutely insane. I just wanted to rip the hair out of that woman's head for kissing MY partner. I tried to school my feautures, but I felt the looks from Callen and Sam on me, so I'm afraid I couldn't totally hide it.
When I had to get Deeks out of the room I felt a strange sense of winning. I got to get him away from the girl who seemed to be his girl. Dammit Kensi, he was not Deeks, he was Max today. And you get the real deal every day. So suck it up.
But after the case was over - Ray and Jenna were safe in witness protection and Deeks told Nicole he was a cop - I just couldn't help but feel a sting of jealousy and maybe even hurt. So I escaped from OSP as soon as I could, avoiding Deeks, and came straight home.
So there I was now, still fuming over the fact that my partner had done his job well today. Just because it involved another woman and he had admitted that he might have put himself in this role a little too much I didint have any ground to stand on and judge him. But in my defense I am not judging, merely being human and feeling.
Shit! How can I be falling for my partner? He denied so hard that we have a thing, so why can't I just let this go?
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on my door. I warily opened the door and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Deeks standing there.
"Hey" he said "Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure."
He came in and shut the door and made his way over to me on the couch.
"So uh, today was kinda rough."
No shit, Sherlock, I thought.
"Yes it was. Are you good though?"
"I don't know really. I'm confused by something."
"What's that?"
"You were talking about a thing between us, but Ray was the only one who said something about that and only to me."
"I overheard you guys and he made a comment at the airport." I'm glad I'm not lying, but I don't know where he is going with this.
"Hmm... Okay. But uh... Do you think there is a thing between us?" He slowly inched closer and his lips were not far from mine. It was almost painful to have to restrain myself from kissing him senseless.
"I thought there was. But then Nicole showed and I'm not so sure anymore."
"Nicole?" Deeks laughed "That was nothing Kens, an undercover act. And you know this, I told you this. I was Max."
"You did tell me that, but the kiss looked very much real. And you admitted to letting yourself, Deeks, getting carried away with this one."
"Kensi?"
"Yes?"
"You don't have to be jealous of Nicole. Nicole is in the past and already was the moment I met you. I might have gotten carried away with her before, but this kiss was strictly Max so I could pry information from her."
I swallowed hard, his lips still only mere inches away and his eyes darting to my lips every couple of seconds. Was he telling me he feels the same? Or is he just trying to get me down the ledge so we can still function well as partners. I didn't have a lot of time to ponder those questions...
His lips are on mine and he is kissing me hard and asking for entrance. His tongue in my mouth I can't help but whimper. I feel him smirk than hear him groan as he lays me down on the couch.
Maybe today wasn't so bad after all...
