I'm back, guys! This past week was really, really hard and I really had to get out of my comfort zone. Katha did a good job and her AN was pretty darn great! (And I love you too :p) Ok, that's the next chapter of OGITW ;) We finally got out of the club and this chap is pretty fluffy, I think. I hope you enjoy reading it!


"Monty, guess who's here?" I yell while opening the door.

I put her jacket and my hoodie away and already can see Monty running to us, jumping up and down and showing his excitement.

Kensi had already knelt down and begins to pet him, getting wet kisses in return.

"Urgh, Monty, don't give her kisses," I say, while getting a beer for both of us.

"Nah, it's okay, Deeks. You missed me, huh? I missed you, too," she says, petting him one last time before letting herself fall into the couch, but not before turning on the TV. She puts her feet onto the table in front of the couch, grabs the beer out of my grip and gets comfortable, like she owns the place or at least belongs to the furniture or the owner. Kinda domestic.

Well, unofficially she does, I think.

I realize I've been smiling, maybe the brightest I have in a while, without realizing it. And I must be smiling like like an idiot, cause although some crappy reality show she likes to watch airs at the moment, she's turned to me and is watching.

"Why are you smiling?" she asks, curious.

I let out a chuckle. "Am I not allowed to smile in my own apartment, Kens?" I say, still smirking.

"That wasn't a smile, that was a very crappy, big happy smile and you could have scared kids away with it," she says, chuckling, "Imagine yourself on Halloween, standing in a dark-ish corner, waiting for kids to come by. Hilarious!" she says, laughing happily.

I laugh at that, too. "Well, they wouldn't even get to me, 'cause the laugh you sometimes pull is the most terrifying thing I know. You, dressed as a sexy witch and that laugh, that would be brilliant."

We lock eyes a second later and begin a staring contest, which lasts 30 seconds until either of us starts laughing.

"We'd make a pretty good pair, huh?" she says, chuckling.

"I think we're already are a pretty awesome team," I say, smiling at her, putting the hair that fell into her face behind her ear, letting my hand lingering on her cheek longer than needed.

"Hi," she says sweetly.

"Hi," I reply, smiling like an idiot and caressing her cheek tenderly. She's moved closer to me through our conversation and our thighs are already touching. Deciding he was being left out, Monty comes running to us and jumps in my lap, causing me to break the contact with Kensi and fall back into the cushions with Monty on my chest.

"Funny dog, huh?" I say, laughing."What's up? You wanna have a snuggle session with daddy?" I say, while getting back up. Monty automatically gets comfortable on both of our laps, his paws and head on Kensi's and the rest on mine.

"Best of both worlds, huh?"

The chuckles of Kensi stop me from talking more with him. "I bet he has enough of your babbling and has decided to stay with me," she says, sticking her tongue out and scratching Monty behind his ears.

"Nah, I think he not only missed daddy, but also mommy pretty much after a night clubbing," I say laughing, reminding us both of the funny but awkward chat with the guy in the club.


"I'm starving, Deeks," she says, eyes still on the TV, but the smirk is directed at me.

I get my phone and have already dialed the number of the pizza service, where we always order our food. "How did I know that sentence would come sooner or later," I say, laughing.

The pizza arrives thirty minutes later and I put them on plates, before getting another beer bottle for the both of us. She eagerly takes her plate from me and begins to eat. "Slow down, tiger," I say, teasing her, "there's more than enough for that monster of yours."

She replies between bites. "No.. monster.. idiot."

She finishes her pizza in less than five minutes and searches through the channels to find something to watch, but changes back to the old one, watching reality shows again.

"Can we please watch something else? I ask, annoyed but also amused about the ridiculous things that the people are doing, "I'm getting a headache from all the intellectual talk on this show," I say sarcastically.

"Deeks, it's 11:25. Which movie just started, please tell me?"

"Well, there's this thing called DVR and I happen to have a few movies on it, too." We look for a few minutes and settle with a romantic comedy.

I disturb the silence after a while. "Pretty good, huh?" I say. "Yes, now shh," she shushes me. She's changed her position and to anyone else it wouldn't seem like she's got closer, but she's leaning slightly into me, Monty on our laps all the time.

After a while I watch Kensi being all domestic in my home, rubbing Monty's fur slightly the whole time. After the whole night we just had and the fact that she's wearing my chain, I do something I normally wouldn't, although I had the chance to before because that wasn't the first time we were that close.

I get more comfortable and lift the hand that was on Monty around her and place my arm around her shoulders, slightly pulling her closer. I was sure I'd get at least a little punch, but all she does is snuggle in closer. She wraps her left arm around my waist andholds a bit of my shirt on the other side, the whole time keeping an eye on the sleeping Monty, cautious not to wake him up.


We both agree that the movie was pretty good and watch another one. Halfway through I look at Kensi and see she's fallen asleep on my shoulder.

She looks peaceful and really beautiful, like she could never hurt anyone.

Monty wakes up and looks at me before jumping from the couch and to the front door, grabbing his leash. I guess it's gonna be a night walk. I quickly stand up and begin to wake Kensi.

"Hey, princess," I say, quietly, "wake up, beautiful. The couch isn't comfortable and I don't think you wanna sleep in that dress."

She squirms and opens her eyes. "Time?" she just says.

"Ehm.. it's about 2:15," I reply and can't even finish the sentence before getting shoved away by Kensi, who gets up quickly.

"I need to go home. We're on call tomorrow and I-," she rambles, trailing off.

"Kensi, you know you can stay here. We both have our phones here and I still have some clothes of yours here from the last movie night."

"Are you sure? I'll take the couch, it's not as bad as you think," she says, smiling a little shyly.

"Don't be stupid. You know where you belong," I answer honestly, "especially after tonight," I say, smiling back at her and slowly getting closer again, caressing her sides when my hands come to rest on her waist.

She closes her eyes and enjoys the sweet touches, the whole time having a knowing smile on her face. "You're coming with me?" she whispers.

As if on cue, Monty barks at me and is getting restless. Kensi looks in his direction and sees why I haven't already taken her to my bedroom. She chuckles before answering herself. "Go, take him out and come back before the night ends," she says, slowly walking away before adding, "and if I wake up with a wet tongue licking my ears, I'm gonna kill you!" The last thing I hear before the door to my bedroom shuts is her laughing happily.
