Sometimes You Just Can't Help It
I seriously love the idea of Callen and Nell or maybe it's just because Callen needs a little love, they make a cute pair!
Callen had just sat down at the bar with a beer when he saw Nell sitting at a table in the corner by herself, when he got his beer and payed for it he went over to her.
"Are you waiting for someone" Callen asked her, her head jerked up in surprise but then she smiled realising who it was
"Yeah I'm meeting a friend from college, she running late" Nell replied Callen noticed Nell's eyes kept flicking to the bar where two guys were sitting clearly checking her out
"Would you like me to sit with you until she gets here?" He asked her
"Yes please" She replied quickly and blushed
Callen was surprised when Nell's phone beeped at an incoming text message that they had been talking for well over an hour.
"It's my friend, she cancelling" Nell said allowed Callen wasn't quite sure whether she was talking to him or herself "means I'm free to go home, I didn't really want to come out tonight anyway after the week we've had. Which was true, they had a rough week with Callen getting arrested for murder then almost getting arrested for treason on top of murder, even though it was all a set up it had been tough trying to get through it all.
"So would you have been doing if you didn't have to come out tonight" Callen asked her
"Sitting on my couch in my pyjamas with takeout, maybe a glass of wine and catching up on all the shows I've missed" Nell replied with a contentive sigh Callen was quite surprised that he felt quite happy at that answer and Nell was blushing again "Sorry I kind of over shared then"
"Nell we're friends we can talk about anything" Callen replied Nell smiled but the blush was still there
"Well I'm going to head home, thanks for keeping me company Callen" Nell said getting up
"Did you want to share a taxi home" Callen replied sure he'd only asked because the two guys were still watching her, didn't he or was it more than just protecting a friend and a member or his team.
"You don't need to leave if you don't want to" Nell said
"I've got no reason to stay if you leave" Callen replied and it was Callen's turn to blush.
When they finally got a cab, Nell was the first stop but Callen decided he would walk from Nell's to clear his head. He walked her to her door in her apartment block like a true gentleman that he is.
"Thanks you know for keeping me company tonight" Nell said
"It was quite alright I had fun, we don't usually get to hang out" Callen replied
"That's true; we should do that more often with everyone"
"So you don't like spending time alone with me"
"I wasn't saying that, I was just meaning the whole team together"
"I know" Callen laughed "would you like to see each other alone, you know like a date maybe"
"I would like that but isn't that against the rules" Nell said
"For the agents, as far as I'm aware"
"Right there's a loop hole there"
"Think about it and let me know" Callen said brushing his lips lightly on her cheek and started to walk about when Nell called his name he turned back and she walked to him stood on her tip toes kissed him fully on the mouth
"No need to wait, whenever you free let me know" Nell replied smiling and turned around and walked back to her door and unlocked it and went inside. Callen waited till she went inside before heading out of her apartment and heading home himself.
