A/N: Okay, so I know that a lot of you guys probably hate me at this point, and all I can say is 'I'm sorry'. I pulled my other story 'Uncharted Territory' because I was stuck, and had begun to not really like where it was going (don't get me wrong, I loved writing that first chapter). However, this new story is something that I've been working on on the sly, and I really really love where this one is going. And not only that, but I already have the next three chapters off being beta'd, so hopefully I will be able to get those posted ASAP. I do hope that you guys can find it in your hearts to forgive me enough to try out this story though, and as always Please R&R….It really really does help

``Ciao``

Kensi has a secret. A BIG secret. But she's not the only one.

Secrets

-Chapter One-

Best Birthday Ever!

LAX Airport Terminal, Thursday, 4:38 p.m.

"Sure you're alright, G?" Sam asks, checking on his partner for the umpteenth time. There is a tiny smirk plastered to the ex-Navy Seal's face.

"I'm fine, Sam." Callen replies, slowly becoming slightly annoyed by his partner. "I have had worse falls before…remember?" He reminds him.

"Yeah, I know. But don't forget—you were younger back then." Sam replies in a snarky tone.

Callen cocks an eyebrow at the muscular man. "Alright, have it your way then. Keys." He says, holding out his hand towards his partner. This earns him a confused look from his partner. "You've been playing the 'my partner's an old man' card all day long. So, I'm driving back."

"My car?" Sam asks incredulously. "Hell no. I still haven't forgotten what happened the last time you drove my car."

"Yeah, Sam. Difference is, according to you anyway, I'm older now." Callen reasons, barely able to contain the grin playing at the edges of his mouth.

"Yeah—Older…not nearly old enough though." Sam replies with a snort.

"Could you two please stop it already." Their suspect whines. "You two are like an old married couple…and I'm fighting a serious headache right now."

Sam casts a sideways glance at Callen. "Hear that G? He's got himself a headache. A bad one too."

"Believe me, I know the feeling." Callen replies. "I've had one every day since I first met you, Sam."

The OSP team, dressed in their standard issue tactical vests, leads a zip-cuffed suspect out of the airport terminal. Sam and Callen lead the way, and Kensi and Deeks bring up the rear bantering back and forth as usual. As the four team members make their way, with their suspect, towards their vehicles no one seems to notice the black SUV parked just a short ways away, or the shadowy figure within watching their every move from afar.

"Hey, make a deal with you G. Swap partners for a day?" Kensi teases, casting a sideways glance at her own partner.

Callen opens his mouth to reply, but then Sam beats him to the punch.

"That's not a headache. That's a migraine."

"Ouch! Sam…that one actually stung a little." Deeks jokes, holding his hand over his heart in mock hurt.

Across the way, the man sitting inside the black SUV silently snaps several photos of the teams' female member. Then he sets his camera down, and picks up a very plain looking cell phone and punches in the first speed dial key. Then he waits for the desired person to answer the call.

"Yes?" comes a gravelly voice from the other end.

"I found her."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

"Good. Now that we know her whereabouts—the other one is sure to be close by."

"Agreed."

"Follow her. Find out where she lives. Where she works. Anything that might lead us to the girl."

"Understood." The man in the car replies, before hanging up on the call.

Deeks' Apartment, Friday, 7:20 a.m.

Early morning sunlight filters in to the room through cracks in between the drawn curtains, landing upon the mingled, sweat-covered bodies of two lovers caught up in the throes of passion. The blissful, unfiltered sounds of love-making fill the room, reaching a sudden peak as names are cried out in pure, sweet ecstasy. Truly a morning for the history books.

Deeks' hands find their way up to wrap firmly around Kensi's waist, as he forces himself upwards, thrusting hard into her…once…twice…and three times the charm. "Kens…ah, Damn!" Deeks groans aloud, with eyes shut tight, as his release surges through him in a series of intense explosions that leave him reeling.

Feeling her boyfriend's body convulsing beneath her is enough to finally send Kensi over the edge as well, and she finds herself gripping on to his forearms for support as her body shudders with her own intense climax. "Deeks." It comes out as a breathy whimper, as she fights to keep herself upright.

Best. Birthday. Ever.

As far as Birthdays go, at least in Deeks' book, this one is starting off with quite a bang. After all, how many guys can truthfully say they've had the pleasure of waking up to mind-numbingly awesome sex with their super-hot girlfriends? Probably not many.

From above Kensi looks down on her boyfriend, and a loving smile finally crosses her face. She watches the myriad of emotions that play across her boyfriend's features, and can't help but love that she has this kind of effect on her shaggy-haired surfer cop.

Thoroughly pleased with her work, Kensi leans forward and presses a tender kiss to her boyfriend's lips. "Happy Birthday, Shaggy." She murmurs against his lips.

"Too bad it only comes once a year." Deeks says with a smirk, his vitals finally returning to normal. "Cause Fern…a guy could definitely get use to waking up like this."

Kensi snorts in amusement.

"Easy there, Shaggy. I don't like you that much." She teases, rolling her eyes in mock seriousness.

Deeks only laughs, and pulls his girlfriend in for a deep passionate kiss. "Come on…admit it. You know you love me." He whispers against her lips.

Actually, she does. Very much so, in fact, so much more than she ever thought humanly possible. The idea of them being together, though, seemed like such an absurd idea at first. She and Deeks are complete polar opposites, and yet somehow they just seem to complete each so perfectly.

A smile spreads across her lips as she hovers just over his lips. "Guilty." She replies honestly, leaning in afterwards for another tender kiss. The kiss seems to go on forever, before they finally break for some much needed air.

"If you don't mind me asking—where'd you learn how to do that thing you did? You know earlier?" Deeks asks, as Kensi finally extracts herself from her spot atop of his manhood. He doesn't miss the blush that slowly creeps into her cheeks at the mention of her sexual prowess. "And please don't say Wikipedia, as that would just be creepy. Too creepy for words even."

Kensi slides over to the far side of the bed, turning her body and propping herself up on an elbow so that she is facing her shaggy-haired lover. "I could tell you…but then I'd just have to kill you. And it's just soo hard breaking in new boyfriends these days." She teases, with only just a hint of seriousness to her voice. "I will say, however, that it wasn't Wikipedia. And I don't even wanna know why that particular thought popped into your head."

Deeks just shrugs. "It was just something that Ray said to me that day after the two of you first met."

"Like I said, I don't wanna know." Kensi says, with a dismissive wave of her hand. Kensi glances over at the bedside clock, and notices the time clearly indicated on its digital face. They're already going to be late for work, but if they don't get moving soon, then they might as well be signing their own death certificates.

"So, got any other surprises for me?" Deeks asks hopefully, while stretching his limbs out. "Or was that it?"

A mischievous smirk plays out across Kensi's face as she thinks of all the Birthday 'surprises' she has planned for her boyfriend. She knows that she really has outdone herself this time, but she also feels like she is really making up for missing his last birthday the year before.

Kensi merely shrugs at her boyfriend's question. "The day is still young." She replies with a mischievous glint in her eye.
