Can love really conquer all?

Kensi Blye lay in her bed, with Callen silent, immobile, in shock. Her eyes welled without permission and before she knew it two tears slipped silently down her face. When Kensi finally managed to force her body to work with her brain she carefully pushed the blankets back and slipped out of bed. It was only then, as the cold hit her that the last few moments caught up with her and she darted from the room.

Without actually running Kensi scampered down the hall as quietly as possible until she had barricaded herself in the bathroom she'd only left several minutes ago. She locked the door and then leant against the back of it breathing heavily. She clutched her throat which seemed to have closed over when another tear fell and she slid down the wall to the hard, cold, tiled floor. The agent drew her knees up to her chest and protectively wrapped her arms tightly around herself.

Lisa

She slapped a hand over her mouth not letting the sob that threatened to burst from her throat get out. She felt her breathing fasten and even more tears overcome her making her lean forward until her head rested on her knees. She scrunched her eyes closed in an attempt to avoid more tears and stop her breathing from swirling out of control as she began to hyperventilate. She could hear his voice, hear him muttering her name over and over in her head. Her name on his lips.

Lisa

Was this why Callen had been acting strangely? Was it? Was he...

She shook her head. There was no way. He wouldn't do that, he wouldn't hurt her...not like that.

They had been dating for nearly three months; it was Callen who had started things. Sure she'd had feeling for him. Lots of feelings. But it was Callen who had said things out loud, it was him who had driven her home one night after a long day at work only to take an unexpected detour to a fancy restaurant that he knew she loved. It was him who drew her in with the simplest and subtlest compliments that warmed her heart in ways that no man had managed before. It was Callen who had kissed her, told her out loud how he felt. It was he who grinned like a kid in a candy store when she made room in her drawers for his things and it was Callen who held her every night and kissed her awake every morning...well did.

It was the senior agent who made her feel blissfully happy and it was him who made sure to tell her every day that he was the lucky one to have her in his life. He made her feel loved, she was certainly not a stranger to abandonment... boyfriend after boyfriend, date after date not to mention fiancées and family.

She had often wondered before what was wrong with her, figured she must be cursed never to find love or something but then Jack had happened and she had loved, she had experienced pure love. And then she experience pure loss, pure sorrow and she hadn't loved again...not until Callen.

She'd loved him as a friend no doubt, considered him family but then slowly she had begun to love him on a completely different level and she found that it wasn't a hard thing to do. They had of course kept their relationship on the low around the office and she was more than willing to attempt to evade the rumour mill of the OSP building not to mention the relentless teasing they would surely endure from Sam and Deeks.

Not that it had worked; they could have made it of course. After all they were top of the class undercover agents but it had made both of them uncomfortable to hide from their friends, their family. So they told them and they did endure the teasing but after Kensi had threatened them with a not so pleasant end they had settled down. But either way it had been worth it.

And so they had dated, had dinners...usually followed with passionate sex..most of the time. They'd talked, they'd laughed and they did it all over again. G Callen was a gentleman,

Well until he started seeing other women.

Kensi shook her head fiercely for the second time. It wasn't possible. There was no way that he'd done that.

Kensi ended up sitting on the floor against the wall well into the morning. It was only when her eyes caught the light outside the opaque window that she was able to drag herself from her thoughts.

She had been wondering how many times Lisa and Callen had been together. She was wondering if Callen had had an alternative motive when they had agreed not to tell anyone about their relationship.

She frowned physically shaking her head for what felt like the millionth time, denying her own thoughts that sent a surge of pain through her body. A sick feeling arose in Kensi's throat and more tears fell whether she wanted them to or not. A sob wracked her frame but Kensi's reflexes were as sharp as ever and she jumped to her unsteady feet spinning the faucet letting water stream from the showerhead and muffle the sounds of her quiet sobs that she could no longer stop.

This was not her.

Several minutes later Kensi stepped into the shower her tears camouflaging with the drops of water perfectly and she felt her shoulders begin to shake even more violently and she could no longer keep the devastatingly familiar feeling of loss, of loneliness of hurt consuming her once again.

Who would want Kensi Blye?

Why would he want Agent Kensi Blye when he could literally pick women from a crowd that he wanted?

No...she didn't know what was going on? She didn't know? She didn't have any proof...

Lisa.

It hadn't taken her long. She was a professional after all. It had taken her nearly half an hour to gather herself together and finish her impulsive shower. She prayed her bloodshot eyes would have returned to normal and could only hope that Callen didn't notice the tremble in her hands. She took a deep breath before she slipped out of the bathroom and back into the hall. The house was still silent and she moved quietly down the hall with a white, fluffy towel wrapped around her frame.

"Morning" She jumped before looking towards the bed and saw Callen who was still wrapped in a sheet groggily peering up at her,

"Morning" She replied softly and forced a smile on her lips but even with everything swirling inside of her she didn't find it hard as he rubbed his sleepy blue eyes which were always slightly lighter when he'd just woken up. She turned her back to him surveying her clothes, trying to find something for herself to wear,

"Kens you oaky?" She heard him ask gently from behind her, of course he would notice. She turned and offered him a small smile,

"Yeah I'm good just feel a little off or something this morning" she shrugged and wondered if he found it easy to lie to her. A moment later she felt her eyes try to well again when his arms wrapped around her body. He spun her around in his arms and placed the back of his hand on her forehead frowning slightly. He caressed her flushed cheek tenderly and she let herself be drawn into his arms.

She held on...tightly...to the man she could have already lost. Not wanting to believe it, not wanting to let go.
