A/N: Hey people! This is my first Fan Fic. Please enjoy! :) And don't forget to review!


Chapter 1

It was a Tuesday night at N.C.I.S. and the team had just finished a case where a petty officer was killed by his own girlfriend.

Tony stared at Ziva as she tried to finish her report. Gibbs had gone to refill his coffee while McGee was down in Abby's lab.

'Ziva is so beautiful.' Tony thought, 'Tell her how you feel.'

Recently, telling Ziva how he felt about her was all Tony thought about.

What if she said she doesn't feel the same way? What if she does feel the same way? What if? What if? Come on DiNozzo, be a man.

It didn't hurt to ask.

Just when Tony was going to suck it up and tell her Ziva stopped him.
"What are you looking at?" Ziva asked without looking up.

"I-I um, uh." Tony stuttered, embarrassed that he was caught looking at her.

"That's alright, Tony." Ziva chuckled, "I have been meaning to talk to you about something…important."

Tony raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when Gibbs walked in, coffee in hand.

"Go home." Gibbs said.

Ziva and Tony looked at him questioningly.

"Boss?" Tony addressed him.

"I said go home DiNozzo." Gibbs said sternly, "You too David."

"Huh." Ziva mumbled under her breath as she gathered her things. Tony did the same.

"Night boss." Tony called over to Gibbs as he stood by Ziva's desk, waiting for her so they could leave together.

"Goodnight Gibbs." Ziva called. Gibbs nodded and sipped his coffee.

Tony and Ziva made their way to the elevator in silence.

As soon as the doors to the elevator closed Tony pushed the emergency switch.
"Ziva, I-I need to tell you something too." Tony said, stumbling on his words.

"Okay." Ziva replied, "You first."

"I'm tired of acting like I don't have… "

"Feelings."

Tony stared at her in disbelief.

"Y-you feel the same way?"

"About what?" she asked, confused.

Tony stared blankly at her.

"Nothing."

"Come on Tony-"

"I said that it's nothing!" he somewhat yelled, his voice getting louder with each word.

"Why are you so mad?" Ziva shouted, tears in her eyes which Tony didn't seem to notice.

'What's the point in holding it in now?', Tony thought.

"I love you!" Tony shouted, "If you haven't realized!"

Ziva quietly gasped as tears pooled in her eyes. This time Tony saw the tears.

"Oh man, Ziva." He tried, " I'm so sorry. I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Ziva practically screamed, tears streaming down her cheeks.

'Why am I acting so soft?', Ziva thought, 'What's wrong with me?'

She tried to flip the emergency switch but Tony stepped in front of it in an attempt to block it. Ziva surprised herself and Tony by elbowing him in the stomach and then slapping him across the face. She flipped the emergency switch as Tony stepped to the side. The elevator was completely silent as it made its way down. Ziva fuming and Tony stunned.

'I completely blew it.' Tony thought, 'I'm an idiot.'

As the elevator doors opened, Ziva stormed out, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes and cheeks. Tony stared after her desperately, cursing himself in his mind.
