A/N- This was originally going to be a one shot but because of so many amazing reviews, I've decided to expand. So people the story is in your (yes your) hands. Review and tell me what you want. If I get enough of the same idea, then that will be it. On another note, borrowing (and probably not returning) the idea from another AMAZING writer who got it for I don't know how many people so to whoever does it good idea, I will now be having a review hall of fame. Let the Games begin.
Ziva was angry. Not your typical 'I'm-going-to-kill-you-because-you're-pissing-me-off' anger, but more if an I'm-actually-going-to-go-coldblooded-maniac-and-murder-you, all because of Agent Aldin. She despised Aldin. Not because he was an obnoxious jackass, but because he was replacing HER obnoxious jackass that's supposed to be sitting in at the desk next to hers. Fine, in other words, she missed Tony. A lot. All she could think about was the way they parted. Ziva wasn't sure if she was just one of those women that you kiss and never date again or if she was special. Well she knew that she better be special or DiNozzo shouldn't bother coming back, and she didn't even say that. The first day that Tony was in Bagdad, he got a videoconference from a flushed Ziva and a very, very angry Gibbs. Needless to say, he had to promise to be office appropriate, (Ziva saw he fingers crossed behind his back) and not let her be a fling. That she found out from a letter from Tony because Gibbs had made her leave. Ziva was very curious what Gibbs had told Tony and had to assume that it's probably for the better that she doesn't know.
But now that Tony was due back any time this week, Agent Aldin had made it his personal job to piss of the team as much as he could. These ways included going through Tony's desk and reading his GSM magazines, not bringing Abby caf-pows, asking McGee if he would be in his next book and if he would get paid for it, and worst of all, asking Ziva on a date even after he found out about her and Tony and Ziva was getting pissed.
"Only a few more days until Tony's back and this thing is back to the cave he came from." The team told her, but she couldn't take it anymore. This idiot had stupidly crossed the last straw. Aldin took the letter that Tony sent to Ziva and gave it to Gibbs to read. He said that he thought it was dangerous because of the SWAK symbol on it, but everyone knew it was just to annoy her.
Now. March 14, 2010. Tony has been gone 2 weeks and 6 days and was coming back today. A full day earlier than planned! Everywhere you looked, banners (all made craftily by Abby) hung with cheerful slogans in a very non-cheerful black paint. Ducky is back to wearing his bow-ties because Tony told him that it takes a real man to pull them off, and even Gibbs is acting less Gibbish in anticipation of Tony's long awaited return. The person who has waited for this the most is Ziva. She was deprived of Tony once over the summer, now again. She never wanted it to happen again.
The Team (actually including Vance and Palmer) all stayed late because they told Tony to meet him at the office. Unfortunately, Ziva had already written to him, telling him to meet her at her apartment when he got off the plane and he fully intended to listen to her. So at a quarter to ten, Ziva quietly and stealthily snuck out of the building and drove home faster than she ever had before. Once she opened her door, but no one was there. Panicking, Ziva ran around her apartment in a frenzy trying to find the man she needed to see. She knew that she sent the letter, but where was he?
