This chapter contains LOTS of Tiva! :)) Enjoy!


"Tony, why did you switch the elevator?", Ziva asked and looked at her partner questioning. Tony took a step towards her. "I need to talk to you.", he replied.

Ziva tried to stay calm because of he was suddenly so close. "About what?", she questioned. "Us.", he simply said. "I don't get it. What's your point, Tony?", she was a little angry now.

This was seriously getting on her nerves. "My point is, Ziva, that I can't do this anymore.", he said softly. She was getting annoyed. "Do what?", she snapped.

He carefully looked her in the eyes. "Walk around and.. I'm tired of pretending.", he whispered. "Pretending what? Tony just talk!", she yelled. "I love you, Ziva.", he said.

Her huge brown eyes widened and she just stared. He couldn't mean it like that. There was no way he was feeling the same way she did. "What?", she said. "I love you, Ziva.", Tony repeated.

This couldn't be happening. "Ziva, please. Just say something.", he begged but she couldn't. She was totally shocked. "Ziva, come on, At least tell me how you feel.", he tried again.

He gently touched her hand which made her jump. "Tony, I-I don't know.", she admitted. He looked at her hurt. "Are you sure you meant it?", she asked. He nodded and slowly leaned into her.

"Every word of it.", Tony said and closed the gap between them in a soft kiss. She wished she could respond but she simply couldn't. She pulled away from him and stared at him horrified.

Did that just happen or was it only a dream? "Ziva, please..", Tony whispered and she couldn't take it anymore. She switched the elevator and ran as fast as she could – away from him, away from the situation, away from her feelings.


"Ziva?", Ali yelled from the staircase. She exchanged a look with Gibbs. "Just leave her alone for a while.", he said. Ali sighted. So it had been Ziva in the elevator. But who else?

She looked at the elevator and say Tony walking out. He looked totally shocked. Ali hurried down the stairs and grabbed his arm. "Tony. What happened? What's wrong with Ziva?", she asked.

Tony didn't even look at her. "No idea.", he simply said. Ali stared at him in disbelieve. How could he say that? He knew exactly what she was talking about. And he knew the answer to it for sure.

Before she could start yelling at him Gibbs grabbed her hand and pulled her away from Tony. "Looks like we have a problem.", he admitted but she just kept staring.

After calming down Tony headed for the bathroom. Ali looked at Gibbs and he nodded. She took it as a signal to follow Tony. She stopped in front of the ladies bathroom and put her ear to it to listen.


"Tony. What are you doing here?", Ziva asked trying to hide her tears. "We need to talk.", Tony said and took a step towards her. "Just leave me alone.", Ziva replied, her voice shaking.

"I can't, Ziva. I love you.", Tony murmured and tried to kiss her. Ziva took a step back. "Tony. Stop it!", she breathed.


Outside the room Ali couldn't take it anymore. She opened the door and walked in being as confident as ever. "What's going on in here?", she questioned. "Nothing. There is absolutely nothing going on in here.", Ziva breathed.

"Ziva, please..", Tony started but Ali cut him off: "Then Tony, would you mind to leave? I'd like to use the bathroom without men hanging around."Tony stepped back, shocked by Ali's words. Then he left the room.
