A/N: Here is the second chapter of this story. Thank you guys for the overwhelming response I got for this story. All your reviews and favourites and follows means a lot to me. You guys are absolutely the best. someone had asked me to include the reason why Ziva leaves NCIS, I won't include that in the story but I have written a prequel called 'where it all began' please go and read that. As much as we all want things to work out with Tony and Ziva, I am not exactly sure what those writers have in mind. Anyways we will cross that bridge when it comes, for now enjoy the cuteness.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own NCIS or any of these characters. I don't make any profit from this work of mine.

CHAPTER 2

A WEEK LATER

It was 20:00 and Tony was still at work. Ziva had spent her entire day searching for a new job. Considering all the options before her. She wasn't looking for a high salary job, but something that will keep her mind at peace and her life better especially considering her previous line of work.

She wanted to talk to Tony about an offer she was seriously considering on taking.

Just as she was lost in her train of thought, she heard a sound at the door and the knob being turned, a moment later Tony came through announcing "honey I am home." with a bright smile on his face.

Ziva laughed to herself and made her way to Tony, she stood on her tip toes and gave him a sweet kiss.

"This is the best part of my day." he said smiling brightly at her.

"So how was your day darling." she said continuing their charade.

"Oh you know, the usual, head slaps, chasing suspects, interrogation." he said with an exasperated sigh.

"I miss it already." she said with a disappointed look.

"Really?" he asked, suprised,as he was under the impression that she was happier now that she was relieved of the stress from the job.

"Yeah, watching you get head slapped usually made my day." she said with a sigh and started laughing when Tony realized he was being mocked at.

"Hey not funny." he said in mock anger.

"Oh I am sorry, I will make it up to you my little furry bear." she said and leaned up to kiss along his jaw to distract him.

A LITTLE WHILE LATER

Tony and Ziva were sitting on the dinner table eating their dinner in comfortable silence when Ziva decided to bring the topic of her job.

"So today I was sifting through a job offers website and came across a very interesting one." Ziva started.

"mm hmm" Tony answered with his mouth full of food.

" It is an opening for a Hebrew teacher, in the Jewish primary day school." she said carefully analysing Tony's expression.

when he didn't say anything she continued, " I called them and they said I could come in for a interview tomorrow at 11:00".

When he still didn't say anything she grew worried.

"Tony say something." she pleaded.

Tony placed his spoon down and looked at her, taking her hand in his, "why do you want to take this particular job?" he asked.

"Because it is perfect Tony, when I was little I always fantasised being a teacher and this is teaching basic Hebrew, having being brought up in Israel is qualification enough, with the kind of training I have I don't qualify for most of the jobs outside the federal agencies, besides this is a very good way to keep in touch with my heritage Tony , although I am an American now I still love my motherland, this will help me keep the good memories I have of my childhood alive..." she started rambling trying desperately to make Tony see why she wanted this job.

He tugged at her hand indicating her to come and sit on his lap, she did just that. Tony caressed the side of her face and looked deep into her eyes, " will you be happy doing this?" he asked

"yes" she sighed, she was confused as to what Tony was thinking. She so desperately wanted him to be happy about it too.

"well then it is perfect." he said with a huge smile and kissed her deeply.

"really?" she asked.

"yeah this is going to be different for you and I can see how happy this makes you. so why not?" he said

"Well in that case I have to go to my apartment tonight and get ready for the interview tomorrow." she said.

"Oh no Zi, I'll drop you on my way to work tomorrow, please stay the night." he said with a disappointed look.

"oh Tony I have many things to do before my interview, I promise to come by the navy yard tomorrow after the interview." she said.

Tony's shoulders sagged and he mumbled an 'okay' half heartedly.

"But who said I have to go right away." she said in a seductive tone.

Tonys' smile returned, he covered her lips with his own and swiped his tongue across her lips, he sucked on her lower lip and Ziva moaned into his mouth ,she held on to him tightly as he carried her off to his bedroom.

A/N: so how was it? writing this story has been sort of therapeutic for me, in healing from the shock of cote's departure, I owe a lot to this story and all the supporters of my stories. please keep the reviews coming , it will help me know if I am doing the right thing.
