CHAPTER TWO – Viva Las Vegas
There were no more seats left on Abby and McGee's flight, so Kate and Tony had to take the next flight. Kate wasn't too happy about being stuck on a plane with Tony for 3 hrs (A/N: I don't know how long it takes to fly from Washington DC to Las Vegas, nor do I know the time difference since I'm an Aussie, so just work with me here people.) They didn't arrive in Las Vegas until 11pm.
Abby and McGee met them at the reception of the casino they were staying at and from the looks of things; Abby had already had a few drinks.
"Oh my god. You're here!" Abby squealed happily, hugging them both. "Isn't Vegas the best."
"It sure is." Tony said, his gaze following the passing cocktail waitress, who was wearing an extremely short skirt. "I'll see you guys later." He said, going to follow the waitress.
"Ah don't you think we should see where our room is first." Kate said and Tony stopped, gazing longingly after the waitress, who disappeared into the crowd. Tony pouted. "Don't worry there are plenty more where she came from."
"Ah you're right Katie." Tony said with an exaggerated sigh.
Kate rolled her eyes. "Don't call me Katie." She told him.
"Sorry Katie." He said, flashing a grin that caused her to melt slightly at the knees. For god sakes girl, it's just DiNozzo, he smiles at you like that all the time. Kate scolded herself.
"Should we get you guys settled in?" McGee broke in, looking between them.
"Yeah, do that." Abby said, bouncing up and down. "And then the fun can start."
"What has she been drinking?" Tony asked McGee.
"Ah." He began. "3 Red Bulls on the plane and 2 Bloody Mary's." he answered.
"Two!" Kate said. "You've only been here for an hour and a half."
McGee just shrugged. "Enough talking." Abby said, still bouncing around impatiently. "Let's go, let's go, let's go."
The four of them headed upstairs, and to the room that Kate and Tony would be sharing, although thinking about it, Kate doubted that Tony would even end up in the bed that night or the next night. He would probably end up with some blonde bimbo at her room. Kate turned to Tony.
"Remember, when you hook up with some bimbo, go to her room, not this one otherwise, I won't have anywhere to sleep." She said, glaring at him.
"Why would I need to hook up with some bimbo, when I will have a gorgeous brunette waiting for me here?" Tony said, grinning at her. It came out as a joke, but Tony meant it. The only woman he wanted to hook up with was Kate and he had spent the flight to Las Vegas thinking about how he could make it happen.
Kate stared at him for a moment, flushing slightly. He had called her gorgeous. But he meant it as a joke, she told herself. Kate frowned and glared at Tony. "In your dreams DiNozzo." She told him, covering up the way she really felt. "No amount of liquor on the planet would make that happen." (A/N: Took that from 'An Eye for an Eye'.)
"I didn't mean it sexually Kate." Tony told her seriously, even though he had. No amount of liquor… that thought stayed in his head. He had hoped that a couple of cocktails might loosen Kate up enough for her to let down her barriers long enough to contemplate a relationship with him.
"Yeah right. Everything is sexual with you Tony." Kate retorted.
That's not true. Tony thought to himself. Maybe he should try and get Kate to understand that. It might give him a better chance with her.
"Alright, enough talking. Get changed and let's PARTY!!!!" Abby hollered. Kate, Tony and McGee couldn't help but smile at Abby's enthusiasm.
"Fine, fine." Kate said. She opened her suitcase and pulled out the things she needed. "Shotgun the bathroom first." She cried, flying to the door of the adjourning bathroom.
"No way." Tony yelled racing her to the door. They reached the door at the same time and had a shoving match, with Abby and McGee watching in amusement, before Tony finally won. "Aha!" he said in triumphant. Kate stood back and smiled at him, an eyebrow raised. "What?"
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Kate asked slyly.
Tony frowned. "No." he answered. Kate's eyebrow disappeared under her fringe, before Tony realised what he was missing. "Oh right, my clothes." He said with a discomfited laugh. Abby and McGee laughed at him, but McGee abruptly stopped when Tony turned his gaze on him. "Guess you get the bathroom first." He said, standing aside to let Kate get passed him.
"Such a gentleman." Kate said her voice laced with sarcasm. She closed the door behind her, as Tony walked over to his duffel bag.
"We'll be next door in our room, raiding the mini bar." Abby told him, before dragging McGee with her.
Tony pulled out what he was going to wear, before deciding to check out the mini bar in the room. He pulled out a small bottle of scotch and downed it quickly, hoping to calm his nerves. He had no idea what Kate was going to come out of that bathroom wearing, but he knew whatever it was, it was going to make him want her even more then he did right now.
Fifteen minutes after she had entered, Kate left the bathroom. By that point, Tony was sitting on the bed, watching TV, drinking his third bottle of scotch. "What do you think?" Kate asked.
Tony looked at her and his jaw almost dropped. God, she is so sexy, was all he could think as he took her in. She was wearing a dark blue sparkly boob tube dress and a pair of black knee high boots, not something Tony would imagine Kate wearing. Her shoulder length brown hair was in waves around her shoulders. He had never seen her go out of her way to look sexy and hot.
Of course, Tony wasn't going to let her know how she affected him; he wasn't going to leave himself open for rejection and embarrassment. "Mmm." He said turning his gaze back to the TV before his face betrayed what he really thought.
"What do you mean 'Mmm'?" Kate asked her tone unreadable.
Tony allowed himself a quick look. Kate was giving him that annoyed look she gave him when he said something she didn't like, which he received so often he now found it sexy.
"Mmm, you look fine." Tony told her, No, you look beautiful, gorgeous, hot, sexy…I want to spend this whole weekend in this hotel room with just you, getting to know every inch of you he thought, but he kept it inside, looking back at the TV. He swore Kate looked a little hurt, but the expression was gone so quickly he figured he had imagined it.
Kate mumbled something Tony couldn't understand, as she went to put her dirty clothes in her suitcase. "What?" Tony asked.
"Nothing." Kate said quickly. "You better not be watching any porn." She said.
"I'm not." He told her, hiding his hurt. He really wanted to show her his life wasn't just about sex, but how?
"Bathrooms yours." Kate said, ignoring his answer.
"Thanks." He said, getting up and heading to it with his clothes.
Kate stared at herself in the mirror. "Fine. I just look fine." She said softly, feeling hurt. She'd worn this dress, thinking of Tony, hoping to get his attention. That certainly didn't work. The only way she was going to get Tony's attention was if she died her hair blonde and got breast implants…not that she would do that.
There was a knock on the door and it opened revealing Abby and McGee. "Wow Kate, you look hot." Abby squealed, bouncing over to hug her friend.
"Glad someone thinks so." Kate mumbled as Tony came out of the bathroom, looking hot in a pair of black pants and a forest green shirt.
"What was that?" Abby asked pulling away.
"Oh nothing." Kate said. "Come on, let's go have some fun.
