- Kens... - he said

Kensi cleaned up her tears as fast as she could, she doesn't even knew why she was crying.

- Yeah?

- I just want you to know that I don't care that they know that... hmm... - Deeks' voice was shaking.

- That we kissed - Kensi nervously interrupted him

- And I...

- And you don't want it to happen never again - Kensi completed his phrase again.

- Who said that? Because if someone told you that, then they are completely wrong. - Deeks quickly said it.

Kensi stayed in silent, Deeks kept talking.

- And please Kensi, don't try to finish my sentences this time. Look, I don't care if they know about the kiss, sooner or later they would.

- That's not the problem, they could have told us before. - Kensi muttered.

- We didn't even talk about that, and don't try to blame my poor communication skills again.

- You never... - Kensi was starting her long speech pointing out his flaws when Deeks interrupted:

- Because I never say what I mean? I'm not good at talking Kens!

Kensi started walking to her car without saying one single word. Deeks couldn't accept that awkward silence so he pulled her arm and unexpectedly kissed her. Nell was watching all of that from the back door but she would dare to interrupt them.

Kensi didn't stop the kiss till she heard a known voice.

Eric jumped out and while he put his arm around Nell's back, he innocently said, a little louder than what he should:

- Nell, it's happening again!

Kensi and Deeks looked at each other, embarrassed for what just happened and Nell looked at Eric with a death glare, because he had just interrupted their kiss. Kensi ran to the car, still cleaning up her tears, and Deeks ran after her, but she put the car to work as fast as she could so she didn't have to face what just happened. Deeks got in his car and drove to her house, where she was already. He rang the bell twice, and she opened the door on her pajamas and still crying.

- Hi fern, I don't know if you realize but Nell almost killed Eric for interrupting our moment. - Deeks said in tone of joke.

Kensi cleaned her tears at once and forced a smile.

- Fern? Really Deeks? - She warned- What the hell are you doing here?

- I'm sorry I haven't brought any cronuts, but I mean, New York is a bit far away from here and I was running out of time. - He kept joking about the situation.

- So, Deeks, are you going to use words this time or i should go inside and get my gun to make you run out of my house? - Kensi said it in an arrogant way.

- Ouch, Touché. - He smiled - I'm going to use words. I guess. If you want me to. - He became a little nervous about what he was going to say - Kens, that kiss was what I meant, not all I meant, but the only way I found out to kinda tell you what I mean.

Kensi was really afraid and confused about her feelings in that precise moment, she looked down, and she avoided to talk looking at his lovely blue eyes, she tried to change the subject and make him go away. She was afraid of her instincts. There was a really uncomfortable silence again, but Deeks wouldn't dare to kiss her again, he was getting confused about her feelings on him.

- I'm tired, see you tomorrow, partner. - She said.

- Take your beauty sleep Sugar Bear - He said with a smile on his face while walking to his car - Just kidding, Kensi, Just kidding.

In the next day, Kensi was late to work because she didn't get any sleep that night. When she got there, Sam, Callen and Deeks were sitting at their desks and started awkwardly looking at her. She said:

- I'm sorry for yesterday, I should've stayed with you guys. My attitude was pretty childish.

- My fault - Callen took his responsibilities.

- And it was just a kiss. - Kensi completed, not really sure of what she had just said.

Deeks looked at her a little bit disappointed and Sam made a weird expression because they all knew that it was much more than that.

Hetty suddenly appeared and told Kensi and Deeks to stay downstairs with her while Callen and Sam go up with Eric.

Kensi and Deeks sat down anxiously waiting for what Hetty was about to say.

- Mr. Deeks, Mrs. Blye, a cup of tea? - She said pointing at her mug.

'' No thanks '' they said in unison.

Hetty kept going:

- Like you obviously know, I can't allow...
