At hearing her phone buzz, Nell stopped typing to pick her phone up to read the text message You free this weekend?
She texted back Yes.
Shortly after replying to that text message she received another; Saturday night 7pm.
Saturday night Nell texted back in conformation.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Challenger for a stakeout, G. Callen played with his mobile phone, his mind turning.
It was now or never.
Unlocking his phone he quickly typed a message and sent it off before he could second guess himself.
He was shocked when he got a reply so quickly.
He sent another text.
And when that second reply came through he smiled.
Then he tried to hide it. Because he remembered he was sitting next to his partner Sam Hanna.
At hearing the second ping of his partner's phone Sam Hanna turned his attention from looking out the window to his partner, noticing the grin on his face.
Feeling someone watching him, Callen looked to his left to see Sam looking at him. 'What?' Callen asked defensively as his smile disappeared.
'Why are you smiling?' Sam inquired.
'No reason'
'Who are you texting?'
'No one'
'It's a girl, isn't it?' Sam asked with a smirk.
'No' Callen answered a little hastily
'C'mon G!'
'It's no one!' Callen replied with a nervous laugh.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoo
7pm Saturday night rolled around quickly and Nell Jones found herself dressed casually in dark blue jeans and a black tank top waiting for Callen outside her apartment building.
She watched as a black jaguar pulled up with Callen exiting the car, walking towards her.
'Hey' Callen greeted casually.
'Hey' replied Nell.
'Ready to go?'
'Yep' she answered, beginning to walk towards the car but felt Callen grab her wrist and she stopped, turning to look back at Callen.
'Do you trust me?'
'Yes' she answered as she looked at Callen.
'I need you to put this on' he told her as he showed her a piece of black material that he held in his hands.
'O - Kaaay' Nell replied as she looked at the material.
Nell turned and allowed Callen to place the blindfold over her eyes and tie it up at the back. With her sense of sight now gone, Nell used her sense of hearing to hear that Callen was walking around her to stand in front of her.
'How many fingers am I holding up?' she heard him ask.
Leaning her head to the side she thought '5?' she guessed.
'Great, you can't see!' He then guided her to the car, where he buckled her in. He, himself got in did up his own seatbelt and started the car.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
All week G. Callen had been worried about where to take Nell Jones on their first date.
Movies. Dinner. Coffee. Farmer's Market. Bar.
He was almost certain that she would have been on a first date before. Probably out for dinner. Or coffee. Maybe the movies when she was younger.
He wanted to do something different and that's what he was going to do.
Parking the car he got out and went round to open Nell's door and undid her seatbelt taking her hand to help her out of the car.
'Can I take it off yet?' she questioned.
'Not yet' he answered as he stood behind her, hands on her shoulders to guide her to where he wanted her to go.
She felt Callen stop her and heard him say there would be stairs to walk up. She heard him say the word step 13 times before hearing automatic doors swoosh open and cold air hit her.
'Now you can take it off'
Nell pulled up the blindfold and squinted a few times, looking around at where Callen had brought her. She turned, giving him a questioning look 'We're in OPS?'
Without a word Callen took her hand and lead her to the front of the table where she found two bean bags sitting in front of the giant plasma.
'Where did these come from? Nell asked.
'Upstairs in the boatshed. Lots of amazing little treasures up there'
'How do you know this?' Nell questioned.
Callen shrugged 'I slept there for 3 months before Hetty turfed me out'
'Of course you did' Nell said as she smiled and sat down in a bean bag. As she got comfy she looked up at Callen expectantly.
'I'll be right back'
A few minutes later Nell heard the swoosh of the doors open and the smell of popcorn came with it. As Callen sat down he placed the popcorn between the two beanbags and passed Nell a bottle of water which she accepted.
'You know, there's a no food in OPS rule' Nell stated.
Callen didn't seem to concerned 'Are you going to tell Hetty?'
Nell shook her head.
'Neither am I'
There was a moment of silence between the two and Nell observed Callen who appeared to be nervous.
'What's wrong?' Questioned Nell.
'I hope this is OK. I mean our first date is at work. We can go somewhere else...coffee.
'Callen, it's fine' Nell reassured him and she watched as he relaxed into the beanbag. 'What movie are we watching?'
'Back to the Future'
'I wouldn't have picked you as a sci - fi guy?' commented Nell.
'Really? What would you have pegged me as?'
'Oh, I don't know. An action Adventure kind of guy. Die Hard'
'I get enough explosions at work. Sometimes I just like to get away from that and unleash my inner nerd' Callen replied with a smile. 'Besides Back to the Future is sentimental to me' he finished quietly
'How so?'
Callen sighed 'It's the first movie I saw at a cinema'
'Back to the Future was released in 1985. You would have been 15' Nell calculated quickly in her head.
'Yeah' agreed Callen.
Nell took his hand 'Well thank you for telling me that' she said, as she didn't know what else to say.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Halfway through the movie, Nell had moved herself to sit with Callen in his bean bag, with Callen placing an arm around her shoulders and Nell confidently resting an arm on his thigh.
Neither of them realized that the end of the movie was playing out with the DeLorean disappearing into the future.
Because for the last 15 minutes after a lot of cuddling, G. Callen and Nell Jones were content with slowly exploring each other's mouth
