Gibb's strode into Jen's office, what did she think she was going to get away with being late just because she was the director? No way, he looked towards Cynthia she was drowning in a phone call so if he had to raise his voice above normal no one should notice, he didn't bother knocking the door, he was impolite or at least when he was in a bad mood or when he hadn't had any coffee, "Jen?" he asked stepping into her office and closing the door, the room was lit only by a lamp on her desk, she didn't bother opening up the blinds, "Jethro" she replied damn that name still gave her butterflies, "any reason why you were late this morning?" Gibbs asked his tone stern he wanted an answer and he wanted a truthful one, Jen rose from her chair she didn't feel the slightest bit intimidated while standing sitting down had its problems, She inhaled deeply nearly falling to her feet due to the dizzy spell "Special agent Gibbs" she stated, her hands on her hips her one foot tapping why was this familiar? Gibbs looked at her taking in her new stance he'd better sharpen up, "Yes ma'am?" he teased and couldn't help but grin as she frowned she despised being called ma'am it was either Director or nothing, and that was why he did it, really he enjoyed teasing her, and of course in more ways than one, The discussion turned into a battle of authority, giving each other the odd glare in the eyes, But Jen's breath got heavier being in a room with him was deadly and the annoying thing was, he knew what he was doing "Well if your not going to tell me I'd best go" Gibbs said simply and turned around, Jen bit her lip "n- I mean just go Jethro?" she said as formally as possible then sitting at her desk and sulking this sucked, it really did suck she knew she had feelings for him, of course she would after the night they shared in Paris, But she had to take Ziva into consideration too not to mention she was they're boss!
Gibbs walked down the stairs; he still had that cool relaxed demeanour he always had, he had one last gulp of his coffee then threw it in the trash can as he turned the corner to his desk, "Director okay?" Tony asked the least bit interested in the Director, all he wanted to know was why she was late and get the inside scoop, Gibbs looked at him and practically growled Tony took that as his hint and he dropped the subject, Ziva sighed and twisted her hair around her finger she was bored pissed off and tired, not the greatest combination for a normal working day but it would have to do and she sure as hell wasn't going to down ten cups of coffee didn't they know what that did to your insides? Oh well she wasn't in a lecturing mood, actually she wasn't in an anything mood there was no banter with Tony, no standing up for McGee she just retreated at her desk and did what work had to be done and in her spare time she thought over how this could have gone better, you could tell she was pissed and slightly miserable by her face, it didn't glow anymore little did she know Gibbs was watching her
And if he weren't going to get an answer out of Jen, he would get an answer out of Ziva for sure.
"David" he barked standing up
"Yes?" she said looking up slightly baffled
"Conference room" he said simply making his way to the elevator, Tony and McGee exchanged looks and watched Ziva trail after Gibbs she was in trouble, big trouble.
He switched the elevator off and turned to face Ziva, "Now, I didn't get an answer out of Jen-" he was cut of by Ziva sighing and finishing his sentence "but your going to get one out of me" she finished and rolled her eyes, "What's going on between you?" he asked, Ziva gave him a shocked look "How did you? – Never mind, Nothings going on its-" Ziva started but Gibbs finished
"Complicated?" he asked and Ziva nodded, She frowned Gibbs was one of the many few people who could make her talk and sometimes she hated him for that but then was slightly thankful for it too, it made her feel human and not feel like some heartless being, "I'm going to leave this up to you two" he said purely and started up the elevator, she nodded and they both waited for the doors to open, as soon as they did they got out and got back to working silently, having the occasional chat with one another but it stopped at that, Gibbs wanted to put a stop to this it would only complicate work and no one needed that, But this was the Director and she had more power than him, so he had to sit back and watch it fall apart because that is what's going to happen? Right?
Jen looked at her phone she would leave a message, she picked it up and dialled Ziva's number "Hey, Ziva I was wondering if you could meet me outside at 1:00? Yeah thanks bye" she said then put the phone down, she was sure Ziva would check her messages she always does, having those strange contacts and all those mossad agents.
Time flew by quite quickly for Ziva she had gotten Jen's message and was leaning against the wall of the car park her hair was tied back, and she wore her usual colours browns and greens she sighed and crossed her arms she was starting to get the feeling that Jen wasn't going to show but she walked around the corner looking all formal and sorts.
"Jen" Ziva said in her strong Israeli accent and backing off from the wall, "Ziva" Jen replied then going to stand beside her, neither of them knew how to start of this convocation it was more awkward than your parents walking in on your funny business when you were younger, "So" Jen started off, breaking the thick wall of ice, or just making a small dent a very, very small dent "Jen I'm sorry" Ziva said but not wanting to admit it, "I should have kept things to myself and not burst things out" she said waving her hands about franticly, Jen chuckled, "One that's not healthy and two its blurt" she soothed and commented, it really did feel strange having a strong confident woman admit such things, Jen moved her hand to hers and looked away yes she was slightly embarrassed, she had never in her entire life made a move on a woman before, Of course she had felt something for the occasional friend but it passed and she thought nothing of it, but this was different and well maybe it would be a good thing to see where it went, of course it would have complications, a lot of complications words would have to be picked carefully, "Its okay to panic Jen" Ziva said kindly tightening the grip on Jens hand, Jen looked back and laughed then nodded "Yeah, I know Ziva-" her sentence was cut of when she sworn she heard Abby she quickly stepped away from Ziva and flattened out her clothes "Director- Ah Ziva" Abby said turning the corner with a caff-pow! In hand she eyes the two suspicious looking women, Ziva looked calm and relaxed but Jen was a little more 'flustered' "Director are you okay?" her voice oozed suspicion as she stepped closer to examine the situation
Jen eyed her then nodded "I'm perfectly fine thank you" she said a little harshly then making a quick exit to her office and probably call Ziva up later on, Abby looked at Ziva who was getting ready to go as well "Not so fast David" Abby said in her best Gibbs style voice it made Ziva grin but she contained the laugh, she was of course still miss heartless to Abby wasn't she? "Yes Abby?" she asked
"What's going on with you and Jen then?" she asked then jumped like a child, Okay this was now beginning to get on Ziva's nerves everyone seemed to be able to guess what was going on "I'm not quite sure Abby" she said leaning back against the wall, Abby joined her, maybe this was a good time to earn some trust points "So who told who first?" She asked with her Almighty all knowing Abby powers, Ziva sighed "Me" she said then ran her fingers through her ponytail Abby nodded and pretended to take notes, it made Ziva laugh and feel a little less uncomfortable about opening up to someone who had slapped her and basically called her 'Miss I feel nothing' "anyone made a move yet?" Abby asked, funny enough this was really interesting her Ziva cringed "Does Jen reaching out to hold my hand count?" Ziva asked bending her leg and pushing her boot against the wall, Abby giggled and took a mouthful of the caffeine filled drink in and swallowed "It can count" Abby said as cheerfully as possible she then took a glance to her black studded watch "lunch ended like 10 minutes ago, if you don't move Gibbs will have your head" she said moving them forward, Ziva raised her eyebrow "What about you?" she asked wanting to know if she would lose her head too, "Ahh Ziva, advantage of being me" she said simply as they entered the Ncis building
