Chapter 2 Getting Ready

Ziva woke up at 0500 and went on her morning run. She had so much energy she ran four extra miles than she usually did. Once she got back she didn't take a shower and read books until 5:00.
Then she went and took a long bath. By the time she got out Abby was knocking on her door. She put on her robe and went to answer the door, where she was attacked by a blur of black.

"Hey Abby you're just in time." Ziva said barely able to breathe through Abby's bone-crushing hug.

"Lets go find you something amazing to wear." Abby said dragging Ziva by her hand to her closet.

"Wow Ziva you have the coolest clothes." Abby said while looking through Ziva's dresses. "Ooooo you have to wear this one." Abby said holding a black strapless dress that came up to mid-thigh with a pair of black stilettos.

"Go put these on."Abby said shoving the dress and shoes into Ziva's hand and shoving her into the bathroom. Ziva went and changed and Abby gasped when she came out.

"Ziva you look amazing, Tony will be drooling." Abby said as she dragged Ziva in front of the mirror. Then Abby dragged her into the bathroom to work on her hair and make-up.
Abby blow-dried and straightened her hair, for the make-up Abby just put some sparkling lip gloss so that it brought out Ziva's natural beauty.

---Meanwhile at Tony's Apartment---

Tony was nervous about his date with Ziva. He had already taken his shower at was 7:00 and Tony didn't know what to wear, he was panicking so he called McGee.

"Tony?"McGee asked as he answered his phone.

"Probie , I need you to come over here now and help me."Tony said.

"Why do you need me?" McGee asked curiously.

"I have a date tonight and I don't know what to wear." Tony replied

"What's different about this date than your other ones?" McGee asked back.

"It's with Ziva and I want to look perfect tonight McQuestions." Tony said quickly.

"Why didn't you say that in the first place, I'll be there in 10 minutes." McGee said as he quickly grabbed his keys and ran out the front door and hung up.

--10 minutes later--

McGee was about to knock on Tony's door when it opened and he was yanked inside.

"About time you got here McLate." Tony said walking into his bedroom towards his closet with McGee following close behind.

"It took me exactly ten minutes to get here, I'm not late. You must be really nervous." McGee said back.

" Yeah whatever please help me Tim." Tony said as he let Tim look through his suits.

"What about this one Tony?" Tim asked as he held up a suit and turned to Tony.

"Yeah that's my best Armani suit, good eye Tim." Tony said getting the suit from Tim and heading into the bathroom to change.
Once Tony came out in his suit he went and found his best Italian shoes. Tim was sitting on Tony's bed while Tony was in the bathroom fixing his hair. He was giving it the just out of bed look he knew Ziva liked so much.

"So what are you and Ziva doing tonight ?" McGee asked.

"We're going to eat at Valentino's then we're going to see a movie" Tony replied.

"Valentino's ? That place is expensive." McGee said

"Yeah I know but I want to show Ziva how special she is to me." Tony said seriously as he came out of the bathroom.

"How special is she to you ?" McGee asked looking at Tony.

"I've been in love with her since she first walked into my life." Tony said with confidence.

"Well me and Abby are very happy you finally asked her out and we wish you the best of luck."McGee said impressed with the confidence in Tony's voice.

Tony looked at his wristwatch seeing that it was 7:30.

"I better get going I have to pick something up before I pick up Ziva, thanks for helping me Tim." Tony said as him and McGee walked towards the front door, Tony grabbed his keys and wallet as McGee got the door.

"No problem Tony, good luck tonight." Tim said as he and Tony got into the elevator to go to the first floor.

Tim got in his Porsche and left while Tony got into his 66' Mustang.

Tony drove to the nearest flower shop, he walked in and there was an attractive woman at the cash register. Tony walked up and gave a half-hearted smile.

" I need a dozen red roses please." Tony said already getting out his credit card. The florist went and picked out the prettiest roses of the bunch, then she wrapped them up and took them to the register.

"That will be $16.43." She said while Tony swiped his card and waited for the receipt. Tony took the receipt and roses.

"Thank you." He said giving her a 100 watt grin.

Tony drove to Ziva's apartment.

--At Ziva's Apartment--

"I'm so happy you and Tony are finally going on a date."Abby said.

"What do you mean finally ?" Ziva asked curiously.

"It's obvious you like each other, everyone can see it."Abby replied

"How is it obvious ?" Ziva asked

"The way you look at each other and how you each are so protective of each other." Abby answered.

"Oh." Ziva said blushing lightly as she looked at her clock seeing it was 7:50.

"Tony should be here in a couple minutes, thanks for helping me Abby."Ziva told her

"Your welcome, have fun, I should be going. Bye Ziva" Abby said hugging Ziva.

"Bye Abby." Ziva said hugging her back. Abby left and Ziva sat on her couch waiting for Tony.

--Meanwhile with Tony--

It was 7:50.

Tony had just pulled up to Ziva's building and grabbed the roses as he got out. Tony walked into her building and took the elevator to her floor. He then walked to her apartment door and knocked.

Ziva went and answered her door when they saw each other both were shocked.
