Chapter 2
In the previous chapter Tony and Abby realize that there is a connection… But what you don't know is that just weeks before they both thought that there were feelings between themselves, but quickly pushed them aside because of Gibbs rule #12 (Never Date a Co-worker).
Tony's apartment had flooded due to yet another bad relationship ending. You see this girl seemed really nice, sweet, and fairly easy to get into bed…just the way Tony likes them. Yet after date 3 her inside self appeared. It turned out that she was under the impression that Tony wanted a long-term relationship. So when he set her straight and dumped her… well lets just say it ended in a knife almost hitting Tony in the arm, and all of the pipes in his house being severed (her dad was a plumber).
Tony walked into the office and saw that Gibbs wasn't yet at his desk, "Coffee I'm sure" Tony said to himself, so he sat at his desk and started searching for the phonebook that he knew was somewhere in the area. So naturally when the elevator dinged Tony was oblivious.
"Wachya lookin' for Tony?" said a voice in his ear that made Tony jump at least 5 feet into the air.
"Oh, hi Abby. I was just looking for my phonebook. I know that its here somewhere…I'm just not sure where"
"Top left drawer DiNozzo You put it there after making dinner reservations" Said Gibbs now appearing at his desk.
"How long have you been there Boss? Cause when I looked just a second ago you weren-…?"
"I've been here the whole time DiNozzo"
"Right Boss. Of course you have."
"Hey Tony how did that date go last night… and what do you need the phonebook for?" that was Abby, always asking questions
"I just…um… well the date went fine… and I…. I needed to call my dry cleaners… because… um…. I was going to call for Pizza. I haven't had breakfast yet."
"Tony, we both know that you have the Pizza number in your phone… and the date obviously went badly because you're hair isn't its normal nice and neat. So what happened? Did she like lock you out of your place or something? Oh tell me! Please????"
"Fine, well ya see she said the L word…on the 3rd date! So I had to end it… turns out her dad is a really good plumber so she used her mad plumber skills to sever all of the pipes in my house… so my house was flooded and I need another plumber to fix the pipes, but every one I called last night said that it would take at least a week. So I called up my buddy. He said that I could stay for a few days but he brings a new girl over like every night and I got no sleep last night. And before she left, Katie or Maddie or what ever her name was, well she took me credit cards. So I had to freeze the accounts. But before I got to that she had already bought like 500 dollars worth of stuff!"
"Wow Tony! But I have an extra room at my house. The door is always open for a friend!"
"Oh Abs, that's really sweet, but I have a few more guy friends that I can call. But thanks for the offer."
Well after 9 phone calls and 9 no's Tony had to go back to Abby, and that was why Tony found himself in the elevator heading down to Abby's lab.
"Tony, Ill get the extra sheets out of my closet when I get home." Abby said before Tony was even fully out of the elevator.
"But how did you-?"
"Um I was kinda listening to your phone calls"
"Really? Now I don't know if I should be scared or flattered."
"Just say 'Yes Abby the greatest scientist ever on to be on the planet. I would love to stay at your home. Thank you for being so great!' or something along those lines."
"How about I just says thanks and then be done with it?" *laugh*
"Yah I guess you could do that."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Abby I don't know how my times I'm going to have to say THANK YOU! At least I might get more sleep."
"What is that supposed to mean? You don't think I have sex?"
"Well I don't think that… ok so I kind of do… but well don't take it personally, you just don't come off as that kind of person. To me you seem more like a long-term kind of gal."
"So just because I'm not just like you and I don't flaunt it, I don't have sex. Wow that seems, well as my sister says 'a dick move'."
"Hey I said not to take it personally! So do you have plans?"
"Nope. I don't have a boyfriend at the moment."
"But… but you just said that you weren't the one night stand kind of person."
"No Tony. What I said was that you shouldn't judge people. I never said that your judgment wasn't correct."
"Well then. Now that you have humiliated me…and like always made me look like a complete idiot what are we going to do?"
"Well we could have a movie night. I love horror movies!"
"Hum I guess that would be cool."
"So what kind of horrors do you like? I have everything. I have like all 11 Friday the 13th movies if you're into the more, um well that kind of movie. I have Cabin Fever, a horror movie that's more like a comedy because the blood is so unreal… OH then there's the greatest movie ever! The sixth sense… possibly the BEST horror ever made. Now I know that its been made fun of but its still great! So what's it going to be?"
"Your favorite I guess, seeing as this is your house."
"Excellent choice! But I think I'm going to get comfy first. PJ time!"
It didn't take long for both Tony and Abby to get into their pajamas. But Tony had a BIG surprise when he got into the living room. Abby was already there and all he could think was HOLY SHIT! Abby was in one of those cute little tank tops that have a little picture on them, most likely from Hot Topic her favorite store, and little shorts (they put the short in short-shorts). On the of the shirt (if you can call it that) was a picture of Emily the Strange, and when Abby turned around he couldn't help but read her shorts that said "sexxxy" on the butt. The first thing that came out of Tony's mouth was "Yes you are" in a small whisper.
"What was that DiNozzo?"
"Oh. What? I didn't say anything. Nothing at all"
"Is that so? I could have sworn you said something" she said turning around so that he couldn't see her smirk. Abby didn't know why but that was the exact response she had hoped for. 'Are you for real? Why do you like DiNozzo? I mean come on. He is like so not your type. He's a stupid, bigheaded, egotistical, bratty, and sexy, wait what was that last one? Now I think Tony is sexy? Well I guess its true that I haven't know Anthony DiNozzo for very long but still. In the short time that I have known him…I've seen the way he acts when he sees a hot girl he wants to lay. He gets this smirk on his face… and this look in his eyes. Hey, that was the same look he just gave me. Just now when he saw me in my pajamas. Does that mean that Anthony DiNozzo wants to have sex with me? Nerdy, gothic Abby?' What Abby didn't want to think next was that she wanted to have sex with him too.
