The next morning I walk into the bullpen and find Deeks already sitting there. After last night I'm a little nervous to see him, because last night we made out, but didn't speak about it afterwards. Deeks just drove me home in silence and now I'm nervous, because now there's no patsy, no middle man to focus on, or woman in our case. I call out a "Good morning" and hurry to my desk, avoiding Deeks' gaze.

I mean I'm in love with this man and I trust him with everything, but he just kissed me, we didn't talk about anything. And I still want to know how he went in too deep with Nicole and what happened there.

At some point during the morning I disappear to the fire range and shoot off a couple of rounds of ammo. After my fourth clip I feel a presence behind me and instantly know it's him, it's Deeks. I feel frozen in place and just stand there. Then I feel Deeks' hand on my ear protection as he gently takes them off and places them in front of me. He then turns me around to make me look at him.

"Kens, talk to me."

"What's there to say Deeks? We don't have a case so I came in here to shoot a couple of rounds. Other than that there's not a lot to talk about, is there?"

"Kens, we kissed yesterday, then we both went home and seeing me this morning has made you run for the hills. Or the range for that matter."

"Yeah we did and it's all good. I'm not running for the hills Deeks."

"You are Kens and you know it. Just tell me if last night meant nothing to you?"

"How can you even ask me that after we talked about our thing and kissed."

"The fact that you were worried about me and Nicole and the fact that you are avoiding me this morning might have set off some alarm bells."

"Oh."

"Kens, look, I already told you that nothing was going on between me and Nicole and she is now out of the picture wishing me to hell. I did however kiss you and we did not exactly talk about that small fact yet. Can we do that now? If you're not avoiding me we can talk about it right?"

"Fine, I just want to know why you said that you let yourself go a little to deep with Nicole and then last night you claimed to be professional. It doesn't add up and I don't want to be just one of your conquests."

"Fair enough. I can tell you that I did let myself slip a little in the beginning of that cover, but it had been more than a year since I had seen her until I did again yesterday. And in the last year I met you and starting falling for you. Nicole was in the back of my mind, but Marty slipped out of that cover when I met you and we started working together."

I stay silent, not knowing what to say to him now. I trust him and there for I must believe him, but he kissed a woman right in front of me and then goes and kisses me. That'syour job, get over yourself. How many times have you seduced a man in front of him, showing skin and nipping earlobes to make them divulge information sooner!

"I get that, I believe you, but it feels weird. Seeing you kiss her and then kissing you myself. I'm in love with you shaggy and I don't share..." Wow. Possessive much, Blye?

"Kens, I am yours and yours only. She got Max Gentry, but you get Marty Deeks. I get the weirdness factor, but just give me a chance here Fern."

I was glad to hear that and have to admit it feels very good to have Deeks as my latest conquest. How hypocritical of you, Blye. So I take a step towards him, put my hands on his face and kiss him. I hear him grunt a little possessively and feel him smile. Then I hear a soft "I don't share either Fern, you're mine" while he puts his hands on my hips and pulls me closer to him.

When we eventually break apart and leave the shooting range we're both smiling from ear to ear and sit down at our desks as if nothing has happened. Accept for the part where Deeks keeps wiggling his eyebrows at me from across the bullpen. Some things will never change.
