Chapter 1

Ziva took a deep breath.

She was nervous - so extremely nervous - but the smell of the young olive tree in front of her face calmed her down.

She placed her finger on the root of the tree and waited one more moment.

Then she closed her eyes for a second and quietly knocked on the door.

It was late and if he was asleep, she didn't want to wake him.

While she waited, she heard quiet music through the door.

So he wasn't asleep.

She knocked again. Louder this time.

The music stopped.

Ziva felt how her heart beated faster as she heard steps coming to the door.

She blinked once and then he stood right in front of her.

She hadn't seen him in such a long time - almost years - and now he was so close to her.

"Ziva", he whispered, not able to say any more words.

A quiet smile sneaked onto Ziva's face. "Hey Tony."

Tony looked at her and reached out his hand.

He stopped right before his finger touched her cheek, but now Ziva could also see a tiny smile on his face.

The two of them were just standing there, staring at each other, until Tony quietly said: "You're back."

Ziva wasn't able to talk, so she just nodded.

"You're back", he repeated a little louder and the smile suddenly disappeared.

He took a step away from her and closed his eyes.

Ziva felt a single tear streaming down her face.

Did she hurt him to much? Wasn't he glad she returned to him? Could he ever forgive her?

But then Tony whispered: "It's not possible. I'm seeing things again. This can't be happening."

Ziva forced herself not to laugh as she carefully put the olive tree down on the floor and then placed her hands on the sides of Tonys face.

She leaned forward until her forehead touched his and whispered: "It's real, Tony. I'm back. I'm here. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for leaving you and I'm sorry for hurting you, but now I'm here and I'm not going to leave again."

While she talked, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"You're back", Tony said for a third time and Ziva felt his warm breath on her face.

"I thought I had lost you. I thought I'd never see you again."

Ziva slowly run her fingers through his hair.

There were so many things they had to talk about, somany words that needed to be said, but in this moment, the only thing she wanted was to be with him.

"I'm so sorry", she repeated over and over again, "I'm so sorry. I've missed you so much."

And there it was again. This wonderful smile that was only meant for her eyes.

Tony rested his hand on Zivas cheek and pulled her even closer.

"You're here", he said, "that's all that matters. I swear, I'm not gonna give up on you again. I can't lose you again."

For a while they were just standing there, with their heartbeats as only noises, until Tony suddenly grinned and quietly asked: "You wanna come in?"

Ziva smiled and nodded.

Tony led her to the couch.

"Wait a second", he said, "I have an idea. Close your eyes."

Ziva did what he had told her and waited.

"Tony, what are you doing?", she asked without opening her eyes, as she heared some weird noises.

Istead of answering her, Tony pressed the butten of the music player.

Ziva recognized the song immideatly. A bright smile raised on her face. She opened her eyes and saw him right in front of her, also smiling.

"This is our song, sweet cheeks", Tony whispered. It was the song they had danced to in Berlin.

He took her hand in his.

"Dance with me", he said softly.

Ziva grinned. "Are you serious?!" She wasn't sure if he was just joking.

"You remember Berlin?", Tony asked.

Ziva nodded. "How could I ever forget Berlin."

"Do you know you sometimes talk in your sleep? Well, in the plane back to D.C. you did. You said 'Someday you will dance with a man who deserves your love'." He took a step closer to her and looked deep into her eyes. "In that moment, I set it as a goal to dance with you again. And to tell you how I feel about you. So please, dance with me."

Ziva was to overwhelmed to answer, but she nodded and let him lead her to the middle of the living room, where they had enough space to move freely.

Tony wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. Ziva crossed her fingers in his neck and leaned against him.

Slowly they began to move to the rhythm of the music.

For a second the world held its breath.

For one moment, Tony and Ziva traveled through all their memories. They returned to their undercover mission, to Paris, to Berlin... and to the airport in Israel.

"I've been fighting for you for so long", Tony whispered and stroked her cheek, "and I will never stop."

Ziva smiled and whispered back: "I know."

And then, finally, their lips met.

It felt like an explosin.

They've been hiding all their feelings for 1 year, 7 months and 22 days.

And now they were here.

Together.

SO, that's already it :) I'd be happy if you'd leave some reviews.
