It's been about 2 weeks since Tony came to work with them in Gibbs's team and they didn't talk about what happened that night at all. All they talked about was evidence and the case, just nothing else. Besides, a new team member had come from Secret Service, Special Agent Caitlin Todd. An amazing woman that actually kicked some ass and were flirted by Tony on daily basis. Not that Abby was really jealous; she knew that Tony was a womanizer no matter what so she didn't take it seriously. And about that night, it didn't really bother her, what was done was done. She didn't question it and it didn't occur to her either. They both believed they were fine that way. Also, another new Agent that came was ''probie'' as Dinozzo would call him. Special Agent Timothy McGee, a young, quite beautiful and sweet geek of the team that wanted the best for everyone. He was attracted to Abby and Tony would always glare at him when McGee talked to Abby or had any sort of communication with her. He wasn't jealous…just…protective.

When a case was closed after days of stress, Kate entered NCIS with an adorable puppy that they got to name Tony. Kate, Tony and McGee were actually talking about how men can't have women as friends. So, Kate was thinking that they could whereas Tony and McGee said otherwise. So, McGee left NCIS and Abby came in looking at the puppy and immediately hugging the dog. Kate smiled and looked at her somewhat irritated at the same time. ''Abby, can you please just tell him that a man and a woman can have friendship?''

Abby looked both Kate and Tony. ''Of course, they can, Kate!'' Tony raised his eyebrow and looked at her. ''Without having sex?'' She smirked. ''Oh, they'll have sex.'' Immediately she made her smirk disappear so Kate won't see it. Kate looked at her and widened her eyes. ''Abby…'' And questioningly raised her eyebrows. Then, Abby looked back at her. ''What, Kate? You never slept with a friend of yours?'' She smiled. Just then, Tony looked down, somewhat embarrassed and it just occurred to him that they really never talked about that night. He missed Abby. He wanted to feel her again, but he knew that Gibbs was protecting her now and he couldn't go anywhere near her. He was like a bodyguard, but mostly like a family. Something he never had. He realized just how lucky Abby is, but then again she was raised with no parents at all. He got sad when he thought about her life. Such an amazingly beautiful and cute woman, having to go through all those difficulties and face life the roughest way possible. He could understand her in some way. She was just like him. So, he pretended to work on it while Abby still looked at Kate smiling. Kate looked at her, then looked at the dog and started petting it, not really wanting to pry in Abby's business. Just then, Gibbs came in with his coffee and sat on his desk. Abby was the one that looked up first. ''Do you want me anything else, Bossman?'' He shook his head smiling. ''Nope, Abby, I think I'm good.'' Then Abby nodded and got up. ''Well, then I have no reason to be here any longer.'' She then turned around and left whereas Tony raised his head and looked at her while she was leaving. He didn't want her to leave, he wanted her to stay, but he didn't want to make it obvious in front of everyone so he just let her go away. He shook his head and looked down again continuing working.

''Is something wrong, Dinozzo?'' Gibbs looked at him. ''Something is always wrong with Dinozzo.'' Kate said smiling while Tony narrowed his eyes looking at her and Gibbs grinned. Then Gibbs started packing. ''Okay, people, let's call it a night. Dinozzo, go tell Abby that we're done.'' Right there, Tony could kiss Gibbs there and then for making his life easier. He smirked. ''On it, boss.'' Kate questioningly looked at Gibbs, and then he looked back at her. ''They have a talk to make.'' He smirked. Maybe he did know everything.

Tony went in the elevator and turned off the power, so he could think like Gibbs often did. He were thinking what to say and trying to make himself presentable at the same time. His head was spinning and there were so many thoughts in his head. Did he really want to bring up that night? Maybe she wouldn't want to talk about it. Maybe she would look hesitant or even not remember it at all, considering her behavior the past few weeks. Although, his behavior wasn't any good either. Anyway, he got all those thoughts out of his head and only thought positively now.

So, he turned on the power and pressed the button to Abby's lab. As it started moving, he tried to gather all the courage he could get and face her like a man. As the elevator dinged, the doors opened and they revealed Abby in a hurry, bumping onto him. She looked up and she saw him, suddenly her heart beating fast. ''Oh, hi, Tony.'' She smiled. He was so not prepared for this.

''Hey…Abby…'' Suddenly, he was slowed down, stuttering his words and started wondering if hanging out with McGeek all the time was bad for him seeing that the stuttering were contagious. Abby giggled. He liked her giggle, it sounded like the first day he met her. He smiled back. ''Where are you going in a hurry like that?'' He wondered. She looked at him. ''Oh, I have to meet a friend of mine.'' He narrowed his eyes. ''A date?'' She looked taken aback. ''Do you really care?'' He was getting mad all of a sudden and he didn't know the reason. ''Do you want me to care?''

They stared at each other and kept staring for what seemed like hours, not taking their eyes off each other. What he noticed was that she got it, pressed the button and now both arrived in the parking lot. The elevator dinged again, making Tony cuss inside of him for having an elevator so quick. As she went to step out, he pressed the button, grabbed her by the waist and kissed her while the doors closed. As it moved up, he turned off the power again. That kiss was awkward, quite scary. It wasn't passionate; it was soft, which really surprised her, because she thought that Tony was a guy that always liked women like that. Full of lust, taking it to the next level right there and then, but now that was not the case. He was kissing her softly, a kiss full of promises and love, affection and devotion. They broke the kiss and he closed his eyes leaning his head on hers. She opened her eyes at the same time he did and they looked at each other, then he hugged her. A move that surprised Abby once again. He was full of surprises, but she kept wondering the reason why. She looked at him. ''What are you doing, Tony?'' He looked and smiled, caressing her cheek. ''Falling in love…what are you doing?'' She gasped and started panicking, searching in her purse. ''Trying to find a psychiatrist's number.'' He laughed. ''But…my feelings are clear. All this time, I tried to forget you, forget our night, avoid you at all times and trying to get over you, but…I can't really. Abby Sciuto, you amaze me…'' She was speechless. She really didn't expect hearing these words from Tony. Especially Tony, maybe McGee but not from Tony. He never spoke these words, never being the literature kind of guy. He now, turned the power on and pressed the button to the parking lot once again. Okay, now she realized why people drink and she could really use one right now, but she refused to do that to herself. She wanted to go home as fast as she could. Think about what he said and think about where this is all going. She turned her back from Tony and he figured that he panicked her so he backed off her.

As the doors opened, Gibbs was impatiently waiting, tapping his foot on the ground waiting for the elevator. ''WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TWO DOING?'' He head slapped Dinozzo 2 times and Tony felt dizzy while Abby looked worried. Then he looked again. ''Don't make think me going by the stairs again.'' He barked at Tony and got in, pushing Tony and Abby out of the elevator. As the doors closed, Abby started laughing so hard and Tony just pouted looking at her and then making a mad expression, folding his arms. ''Yeah, ha, ha, very funny.'' He then went to his car and got in. Was that all? No further explanation about his behavior? Abby just stood there, stunned as he saw Tony's car accelerating and disappearing from the parking lot.

What just happened?
