CHAPTER 2: KENSI'S TALK WITH NELL...

THE BULLPEN...

MONDAY MORNING...

Deeks had not talked to Kensi since Friday night and she was hoping to talk to him when she got to work, only to discover that his desk was empty.

"Ms. Blye, a word please," Hetty requested and Kensi was filled with questions of where her partner was.

She had a feeling the reason he was not here, is because of what happened Friday night.

HETTY'S OFFICE...

"Hetty, where Deeks," Kensi asked as soon as she sat down across from Hetty.

"Mr. Deeks, came in early to resign from his position here as the Liaison for NCIS. He has gone back to the LAPD." Hetty told her and Kensi felt her heart sink.

He had resigned because she was too stubborn and scared to give their 'thing'...because as much as she did not want to admit, there was a 'thing' between her and Deeks.

She loved him, but when she had a chance to tell him...her pride and fear had gotten in the way.

"What will I do without a partner, Hetty?" Kensi asked. "You will be assigned a new partner. I will give it a few days, but that is all I can do." Hetty told her and Kensi nodded, before getting up and heading for the gym.

THE GYM...

When Kensi reached the Gym Callen and Sam were sparing, Kensi changed in the locker room and began to take her emotions out on the punching bag.

"Hey, Kensi, do you know where Deeks is? We got here and his desk was cleared out." Sam said as him and Callen came to stand beside her.

Kensi closed her eyes for a moment and then turned to look at them.

"He resigned from NCIS. Hetty just told me." Kensi told them, not mentioning what had happened on Friday night.

"Why would he resign? I know we pick on him, but..." Callen began. "Not sure, guess he was tired of NCIS." Kensi said with a shrug.

"Something happen between you two?" Callen asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"Nothing happened between us." Kensi lied and headed for the locker room.

INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM...

Kensi had just finished getting dressed when she heard the locker room door open and Nell appeared in front of her.

"Are you okay, Kensi? I ran into Callen and Sam." Nell said looking at Kensi. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask? Kensi inquired.

"Because I accidently overheard Deeks and Hetty talking this morning, before he got his things and left, He said that something happened Friday night, but didn't go into detail." Nell explained.

Then Kensi knew she would burst if she did not tell someone.

"You have to swear to tell no one, what I'm about to tell you." Kensi told Nell. "I promise...so what happened?" Nell inquired again.

"Deeks and I had our movie night on Friday. I was about to leave when he pretty much told me...that he was in love with me..." Kensi began. "Oh, my God, Kensi, what did you say to him?" Nell asked clapping a hand over her mouth.

"I told him it wouldn't work and I left. Then I came in this morning to find out that he had resigned." Kensi told her. "You're really in love with him aren't you?" Nell asked and Kensi could only shake her head.

"I don't know how I feel about him. He's been my work partner and best friend for the last three years." Kensi replied. "Everyone can see that you two have a..." Nell began.

"Please do not say the word 'thing' everyone thinks that Deeks and I have a 'thing'. Nell, Deeks is a player. He flirts with every woman he meets. What if I started dating him, things got serious, and I lost him?" Kensi asked voicing her fear for the first time aloud.

"You can't let your fear stop you if you really love him. Just talk to him, Kensi. I better get back up to OPs, before Eric starts looking for me." Nell suggested.

"How are things with you and Eric?" Kensi asked before Nell could leave and Nell looked back at her. "What do you mean?" Nell asked innocently. "Nell, you've liked him since you met him...have you two been on any dates recently or not?" Kensi asked.

"A few...I better get back up to OPS. At least try to talk to Deeks." Nell suggested before leaving the locker room.

"I tried, but he wouldn't talk to me." Kensi whispered, before taking a deep breath and exiting the locker room herself.
