Chapter 2

Ziva sighed and looked down at her vanity table. Rimmel or Maybelline? She picked the first and held the mascara wand up to her eyelashes, brushing them slowly.

She finally reached for her sugar-pink lipstick and began to coat it adequately.

Ziva looked herself up and down in the mirror, proud of how nice she had made herself look. She was wearing a cutaway top with large black trousers and ballet pumps. Her hair was modeled into a chunky ponytail.

She glanced quickly at her watch, realising that there was another 10 minutes before Tony should arrive. She sashayed onto the coach, dropping onto it with a sigh. Her book came within reach and she began to flick through the pages, not really interested. Sighing, she placed it back on the table, closing her eyes.

'Tony, asking me out?' Ziva mused, 'I'm not particularly pretty or good-looking. I'm just an average-looking NCIS agent who likes knives.'

However, her thoughts were interrupted by a gentle knock upon the door. Ziva shot up and waltzed over to the door, opening it.

Tony grinned from the other side of the threshold, holding a bunch of cream roses.

"Wow, Zi you look….you are beautiful," he told her, holding out the flowers, "These are for you, my lovely lady."

"Thank you," she blushed, "These are so pretty. I'll just put them in the vase, if you'd like to come in."

Tony nodded and stepped in lightly, hovering near the door. Ziva placed the flowers in a glass vase on her bookshelf, before hobbling to the kitchen to put some water in it. She returned a couple of minutes later, a smile plastered on her face.

"Ready to go?"

Tony nodded, and headed towards the door, extending his arm, "Very beautiful ladies first."

Ziva blushed again and walked outside, her date following her. She locked the door, as Tony held his arm out to her. She took it with a small grin. Tony saw this and felt a warm glow inside.

They arrived at the car, and Tony immediately opened the door for Ziva.

The car smelt of nice deodorant and lavender.

"Why is there lavender?" Ziva asked, sniffing it curiously.

"Because it's your favourite smell," Tony replied, "And, well, I'm sure you wouldn't like the smell of aftershave."

"Thank you."

"Anytime," the Senior Field Agent, "How would you like Jazz FM? I know it helps you relax."

"You can stop being nice, it doesn't suit you," Ziva joked, "And Jazz FM would be fine, thank you."

"Charming," Tony pecked her temple from behind the wheel, "Are you looking forward to the film?"

"Very much so," Ziva replied, "Rue looks to be very sweet. Also, Gale looks quite good looking. But not as good looking as some." She looked Tony up and down.

"Your words are as lovely as you. By the way, it's not Gale, it's Liam Hemsworth."

"Same thing," Ziva retorted as they pulled up in the cinema car park.

"Ready?" Tony stopped the car.

"Very much so."

Yay! I'm going the write the actual scene with the pair watching the film after I've seen it on Friday! I'm dragging my friends into watching it on the opening night! And also, OMG LAST NIGHT'S EP WAS BEYOND AWESOME! Gibbs and Dr. Ryan dating! The cute Tiva moment (God, I love those late bullpen flirt scenes). My friend Molly was supposed to come back to my place to watch it with me, but she became ill, so she'll watch it later. I'm off to hers next week to watch the next episode.

Peace be with you xxx

P.S Doesn't next week's one look very good? For some reason, I don't think they'll be much Tiva in that.
