First story, ever! I dont own NCIS or anything else! Please review!
Looking over the crowd of people, Anthony "Tony" Dinozzo easily spotted the brunette beauty, Ziva David. Tony had been ordered to extract her from the banquet hall with no fuss and take her back to the safe house in the outskirts of Washington D.C. As the Director of Internal Affairs, Leroy Jethro Gibbs had the power to tell Tony to do anything and he could not do anything to go against the powerful man. Gibbs was not only the Director, he was also Ziva's uncle. He had warned Tony that if he did not complete the mission the consequences would be severe. So far, the only briefing Tony had received was the location of the safe house and a few photos of the gorgeous Ziva. After seeing her in person, Tony realized no photo or description could ever display her true beauty. Across the room, Ziva threw her head back and stretched out her gloriously long neck in laughter as a slightly old and overweight man said something hilarious. Tony felt his attraction for the tall, brunette bombshell grow with every movement she made. Even with the distance between the two people, Tony could see her dark brown eyes twinkle with joy as her laughter died down.
Tony attempted to distract himself by taking in the huge banquet hall. The antiqued styled room was lit by a single crystal chandelier which drooped down into a circle of bright, shiny gems. The walls were lined with cream and gold wallpaper, which swirled around in a unique design. Fifteen tables were arranged around the edge of the room, leaving a large area for dancing and socializing.
Standing at 6'2, Tony could easily see everyone who chose to attend the charity benefit that evening. The night had just began and yet the room was already full with extremely wealthy people dressed to the nines. Adjusting his tie, which completed his classic black and white tux, Tony made his way towards Ziva. As he neared her, the blood red dress she wore ended about halfway down her thigh and accentuated her womanly curves. The silver stilettos which encased her feet made her legs go on for miles. He realized he was not the only man staring at her and he recalled her uncle's warning. Many men look at her Tony, and she knows it. Don't expect her to just fall into your arms like most girls that meet you. You will have to try a little bit harder then normal. Good luck. You will need it. Tony barely remembered his boss' words because at the time, he thought every girl would fall for his Dinozzo charm. Now, after seeing her, Tony wished he would have listened to Gibbs' words more clearly. Taking a deep breath, Tony, after being sure to put on his most attractive smile and fixing his short brown hair, made his way towards Ziva.
When Tony was standing directly in front of Ziva, he realized why the Gibbs had warned him so thoroughly. She was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever met. His smile widened when he saw her eyes travel over his body. When her gaze finally met his, he was extremely shocked when she turned on her heel and walked toward the French doors leading to an outdoor balcony Tony's smile quickly faded. A girl had just rejected him, without even saying anything at all! This was definitely a first for Tony. Every girl he had ever been interested had not been able to resist his strong muscular physique, deep green eyes, and his dark brown hair that always seemed to be perfect. Tony didn't like being rejected and silently made it his mission to change her mind before
the mission was over.
Following her to the balcony, Tony weaved his way through the unfamiliar people. Once reaching the open French doors, a slight breeze hit him and he shivered lightly. Spotting Ziva leaning over the balcony, he headed towards her when he noticed her shiver. Standing next to her, he looked out into the city lights.
"May I help you?" Ziva's eyes stayed trained on the city.
"Can't I just stand next to a beautiful lady and enjoy the view," Tony replied smoothly, fully expecting Ziva to walk away again.
"That is a first," Ziva chuckled, and Tony's eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. "No one has ever called me beautiful before. I guess there is a first time for everything."
"I highly doubt no one has ever thought you were beautiful. I saw everyone look at you when you walked by!" Tony replied, trying to charm her to make his mission easier and to fulfill his promise to himself .
"I do not think anyone has ever had the guts to approach me before, let alone call me pretty." Ziva smirked slightly, turning to face Tony who looked shocked by her words. "What is your name?"
"Tony. Tony Dinozzo. You?"
"Ziva David, but you already know that," Ziva said, pulling him by his hand back to the banquet hall. Waving goodbye to a few people she new, Ziva continued to pull Tony towards the door. "I know who you are. I read your file. Very impressive history. My uncle told me to expect you and not to give you any trouble."
"My car is right outside. Do you know where the safe house is? All I have is an address." Tony's hand was still tightly gripped with Ziva's when she turned around to whisper in his ear.
"I do, but I will have to drive. It can get quite confusing." Biting his ear lightly she released his hand. Both people immediately missed the warmth the other person brought. The couple continued until they were outside and standing in front of a red Shelby GT Mustang. "Nice car."
"Thanks." Tony opened the driver side door for Ziva and let her slide easily into the seat. Running around to the other side, Tony got in and questioned, "Where did you learn to drive?"
"I taught myself, why?" As Ziva said this, Tony's eyes widened and he grabbed the handle on the door. Hopefully he would be alive to see where the night would go…
TBC..
