Chapter 4
Kensi steps out of the shower for the second time that day and puts her regular clothes on. Seeing as she has no food n the house, she knows that she will have to go out to eat or to pick up something to eat. She is walking to the kitchen when her phone starts ringing.
"Hello?" She answers, without even bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Good morning, sunshine! Want to go out for lunch?" Callen's voice seems too happy but she figures that that is just because he wants to convince her to leave the comfort of her house in order to go and have lunch with him.
"Seeing as I have no food in the house I can't see why not…Where do you want to meet?" He doesn't answer but she hears her doorbell ringing, a clear sign that he is closer than what she had thought. She opens the door and sees him waving at her next door neighbors, with a smile on his face and roses on his hands. Kens shakes her head and pulls him in by his shirt. He just laughs and kisses her cheeks before closing the door behind him.
"I can't see why you hate them that much…They're nice ladies!" Kensi just sighs and sits on her living room couch.
"How did you know that I was going to say yes to your lunch plans, anyway?" Callen puts the roses on the kitchen table. The only reason why he had bought them in the first place had been to spice up her neighbors curiosity. He sits on the couch next to her and stares at her until she loses her patience and turns to him.
"Deeks called me, actually!" Kensi turns back to look at anything but his face, knowing that he would be able to read her like an open book. She doesn't need that right now, she's already hurt enough without listening to his advices. That surprises her though. Everyone knew that Callen is like an over-protective brother when it comes to her…she's not entirely sure of why would Deeks call him. She tries not to care, tries not to think about that but knows that Callen is going to give her the details.
"He told me that you needed someone to talk to and that you had no food in your fridge so I should come over. I'm starting to think that you've been right about him all along…that guy is completely crazy. Although, I can't say that I don't like him. At least he cares about you. Then he got me worried because he seemed angry or something on the phone. It was weird!"
Kensi knows that she doesn't have the ability to lie to Callen and she knows that this is not one of the things that she wants to hide from him so as soon as he finished speaking, she blurts it out.
"I almost slept with him last night!" Callen looks shocked but not for the reason that she expected him to be.
"Why didn't you?" Kensi looks at him, wondering why that's the part that shocks him. He seems a lot more worried because she said that she had almost slept with him than with the fact that she had almost slept with him. She figures that he knows her too well and has noticed the attraction that she felt towards her partner, maybe even before she had noticed it herself.
"I didn't stop…he did! He said that after the day that I had had I was vulnerable and confused. He said that I needed to sleep and then he promised me that he would give me anything that I wanted today. When I woke up, he was gone. I got up and went for a run, as I usually do on weekends. When I got back he was here. He said that he had forgotten his phone and that had been hoping that I would still be asleep or that I would take longer to come back."
Callen stays silent for a few seconds but to Kensi they seem to last a few minutes. The truth is that she knows that that is a lot to take in and Callen has no idea of what to say to her, not being used to deal with that kind of situations. Finally, he smiles and gets up from the couch.
"Are we going to have lunch or not? I'm getting hungry here…" Kensi smiles at him and nods, grateful that he hasn't said anything else about that particular subject. She knows that having lunch with Callen on a weekend means that she'll spend the rest of the day with him and she's happy with that knowledge because her house just keeps reminding her of the man with a goofy smile that had hurt her so much in such a short time.

It's almost midnight when Kensi finally walks inside her house. She knows that she should have done a lot of things during the day instead of spending the day with the one that was her closest friend but she had needed that distraction.
She knows that her breakfast will probably be another apple because she hasn't gone shopping but she shrugs it off, too tired to think about that.
She goes straight to her bedroom and takes her clothes off, putting on a more comfortable attire to sleep in. The day hadn't been that bad, after all.

Kensi opens her eyes and looks around the bedroom. She knows that it is still in the middle of the night because there is absolutely no light coming through the window. She looks at the clock and her suspicions are confirmed. It's only a few minutes past 2 a.m. but she can't sleep, for some reason.
She's not sure why but she feels that her brain is trying to tell her something. Ignoring that and her lack of rest, Kensi gets up from the bed and goes to the kitchen, hoping that a glass of water will be enough to calm her down and make her sleep once again.
As she puts the glass on the sink, she sees something on her kitchen table that almost makes her drop the glass. That was not supposed to be there…

BTW, I know that Deeks made no appearances in this chapter but I can assure you that Kensi/Callen's relationship is nothing but a good friendship, just in case you were wondering.
