NCIS: LOS ANGELES
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER...
DISCAIMER:
NCIS: Los Angeles & Characters do not belong to me. The parts from Recovery and Frozen Lake do not belong to me.
SUMMARY:
This story starts out with Kensi and Deeks at Dinner at the end of recovery. I am going to put in my own idea about what happened after the end of Recovery and then skip to a few months later when Kensi returns from the assignment.
How I think things should turn out...
CHAPTER 2: FROZEN LAKE...
KENSI...
MARTY'S BEDROOM...
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Marty rolled on his side and looked at me with a smile.
"So was that better then you have ever dreamed about, Sugar bear?" Marty asked and I looked right back into his eyes trying not to blush. "What makes you think I ever dreamed of us having sex?" I asked.
"Because you talk in your sleep, Kensalina, Some of the things I heard while we were undercover as Justin and Melissa or on our movie nights...
'Oh, Marty, faster...more...yes right there!'
If you were not dreaming about us making love...what were you dreaming about?" Marty asked with a cocky grin and I could feel myself turning red, because that was what I had in fact been dreaming about.
"How do I even know that I said that and you're not just making that up? Are you sure you weren't the one dreaming?" I shot back.
"I could have been, but if I was it was a dream I was waiting to become reality. I also remember on several occasions when you woke up in the middle of the night and thinking I was asleep cuddled against me. So I know you've wanted me for a long time...and you know you could have taken advantage any time you wanted." Marty told her and I had to roll my eyes.
"Do you want to know why I never made a move?" I asked him. "Actually...you did. You kissed me the night we had dinner with Brett and Polina. I know that wasn't an undercover kiss...admit it." Marty said with a smile. "Admit what? That I wanted to know what it was like to kiss you?" I shot back.
"Yeah, admit you were curious of what good of a kisser I was." Marty told her with a nod.
"I was just trying to keep our cover and see if I could shock you into silence." I replied with a grin. "So you do admit it...you wanted to know what it was like to kiss me." Marty shot back.
"I didn't admit anything; I was just trying to keep our cover. What surprised me that night is how well you remembered what I was wearing the day we met." I admitted.
"Why are you surprised? There's been this...'thing'...between us from the day we met." Marty told me and I just nodded, because I did agree with him on that. "I guess so." I said finally getting up.
"Whoa, wait, could you say that again? I'm not sure I heard that right." Marty teased as he too got up. "Clean the wax out of your ears and you might be able to hear better," I shouted to him heading for the bathroom and closing the door behind me.
I couldn't believe this was happening.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER...
THIRD PERSON P.O.V.
They had gotten to work, deciding it would be a good idea if they showed up separately.
Deeks had left for work and Kensi said she would meet him there.
Callen and Sam had started to pick on Deeks for being early and then noticed that Kensi was wearing the same shirt from yesterday.
They had now been working on a new case which led them to a hotel.
THE HOTEL...
DEEKS & KENSI...
While Callen and Sam breeched one hotel room, Deeks and Kensi did the same on another floor.
Seeing a shooter outside with a gun aimed at Kensi, Deeks acted instinctively.
"Kensi..."
He yelled, before running across the room and shielding her body with his, as the window shattered from the gunshots.
It didn't take long before the shooting stopped and Deeks looked at Kensi.
"...You okay?" Deeks asked her.
"We've got an active shooter on the North lot. We're moving." Came Callen's voice over the comms.
"Split up, we'll cut him off." Kensi instructed Deeks, as she went out through the window and Deeks left through the door.
OUTSIDE WITH KENSI...
Kensi was searching for the shooter with her gun raised, when she came across a little girl.
"Hey, are you okay?" Kensi asked. "Uh-huh." The girl answered. "Yeah, what's your name?" Kensi asked.
"Maddie," The girl answered. "Maddie, All right, look you need..." Kensi stopped when she felt a gun pressed against her back.
"Drop your weapons." The man behind her commanded and Kensi unclipped the big gun she had been carrying as well as removing her smaller gun from its holster.
"It's okay. You're going to be fine, Maddie, okay?" Kensi asked.
"Nice knife." The man said as he took her knife from her. "Please let the little girl go." Kensi said not wanting Maddie to be hurt if something went wrong. "Get out of here." The man told Maddie and Maddie started to leave. "Run." Kensi said as Maddie ran into the motel.
"Kensi," She heard Deeks call. "Deeks," Kensi yelled back as she felt the shooter throw an arm around her and pointing his gun at her.
Kensi watched as Deeks came into view switching from his big gun to his smaller one.
"Move and I kill her, spilling her guts all over the pavement." The man behind Kensi warned.
"Take the shot!" Kensi ordered Deeks.
DEEKS...
I could feel my emotions taking over; afraid if I took the shot...I would hit Kensi instead and lose what we had just started.
A car came squealing around the corner and the man behind Kensi pulled Kensi back a step with him.
"Drop it!" I ordered the man still unable to take the shot. "Take the shot!" Kensi repeated, but I didn't dare take the shot and risk hitting my girlfriend.
"Come on, let's go!" A man from inside the car yelled.
I saw the man push Kensi away, but before I could take a shot...the man was shooting at me and I was forced to take cover.
After a minute it stopped and watched as the man got away in the car and Kensi standing up watching the car get away as well.
"You okay..."
I asked her for the second time that day, but Kensi didn't say a word. Instead Kensi made her way over to her weapons and began to pick them up.
"...I didn't have a shot..." I tried to explain to her that I was afraid if I took the shot…it might have missed and hit her.
Kensi clipped her big gun to the strap and collected her other weapons, before finally coming over to me and did it ever hurt when she punched me, then I watched her walk away angry at me.
"...I didn't have a shot!" I called as I watched her go, my jaw was so sore from when she punched me.
I was used to her punching me in the shoulder, but since we had decided to make the change in their relationship...a lot of other things had changed for us as well.
KENSI...
AFTER ARRIVING BACK AT OSP...
THE GUN RANGE...
I aimed my gun at the target and emptied the clip...I was still pissed at Deeks.
Yesterday he would have taken that shot and now since we had decided to move forward and become more then friends or co-workers...he was hesitate to take the damn shot.
After finishing with my gun, I took my safety goggles and ear protectors, as I picked up the knife I heard the door open and didn't have to look to know who it was.
I threw the knife and then let out a sigh.
"Twenty four hours ago you would have taken that shot." I stated. "I didn't have a shot." Deeks said again though he knew it was a lie. "Yes, you did!" I insisted.
"Okay, yesterday I would have taken that shot, but it's not yesterday anymore. Is it..."
Deeks asked and I wasn't sure what to say.
"...Is it? Okay, I should have taken the shot and I let my emotions get in the way and I'm sorry." Deeks apologized and I knew the next words would hurt him.
"It's not going to work. I'm standing in the middle of my Frozen Lake." I informed him and he looked at me.
I could see how hurt and confused he was.
"I don't know what that means." Deeks said.
"It's something I learned in Sayoc…
Your Frozen Lake is the name of what you want most in the world and you want it...you want it so bad. That you'll do anything to get it,
Your heart takes over, but because of that it destroys you in the end.
It's right there just sitting in the middle of this Frozen Lake and you think that you're fast enough to...to go out there and grab it before the ice cracks..." I didn't finish, because Deeks picked up on what I was saying.
"And what you don't realize is you're already standing on the ice and it's falling apart around you." Deeks finished.
