The next day McGee came into work whistling a very happy tune. Tony, who was already sitting down at his desk working, looked up and sat but in his chair curious as to why McGee was so happy. McGee just went to his desk and sat down still whistling his happy song.
Just before Tony could turn his chair to ask McGee why he was happy, Palmer came storming in and slammed his hands on McGee's desk.
"Where is Jessi?" Palmer asked in the angriest voice McGee or Tony had heard out of him.
McGee looked up and looked into Palmer's eyes, which were filled with rage.
McGee just swallowed hard before answering. "She is at my apartment sleeping."
Tony butted in, "What is she doing there?"
"She came over last night and spent the night." McGee said trying to make it sound as innocent as possible.
Flashback:
McGee stepped aside to let Jessi in.
"What's going on?" McGee asked as her opened the door. He then realized that Jessi was in her pjs.
Jessi went and sat on the couch. "I was asleep and all I could see was Rivera. And when I woke up screaming there was nobody there. I'm sick of waking up alone." She said with her eyes starting to well with tears.
All McGee could do is walk over and sit next to her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. Jessi laid her head on his shoulder and curled her feet up on the couch.
"I'm sorry to intrude on you. I just don't want to be alone anymore." Jessi said now crying into McGee's shoulder.
"There is no need to apologize. You are not intruding." McGee said stroking her hair.
End of flashback.
"Did you sleep with her?" Palmer asked him. McGee knew exactly what he meant.
"No… we just fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. Nothing like that happened." McGee said putting Palmer at ease.
"Good because for a minute there, McGee, I thought I was going to have to kick your ass." Palmer said standing straight again and walked back to autopsy.
McGee just sank in his chair. He just escaped an enraged "big brother" and it took the happy right out of him.
Tony walked over to his desk and leaned against it facing McGee. "So if you didn't have sex… Why the whistling?" Tony asked curiously.
"Can't a guy just be happy that the girl he likes spent the night with him?" McGee asked looking up at Tony.
Tony just let out a snort. "Not unless something happened." Tony said with a chuckle.
"It was completely innocent, Tony. Don't make it into something it's not." McGee said scooting his chair to his desk and getting started on his work.
"Something did happen didn't it?" Tony asked with an "I know I'm right" smile on his face.
McGee just pursed out his lips a little and looked at Tony. "We kissed alright! You happy now Tony! You got it out of me." McGee said going straight to his work again.
"How did it happen? Tell me the whole story." Tony went and got his chair and sat down right next to McGee.
McGee turned his head and had an annoyed look on his face. He let out a hard sigh and turned to Tony completely.
"Well when she got there she had said she didn't want to be alone. So we just sat on the couch talking and watching the movie."
"What movie?" Tony interrupted.
"I don't remember! I think it was Monty Python. But that's not the point." McGee said aggravated.
"How is Monty Python a romantic movie?" Tony asked interrupting again.
"It wasn't meant to be a romantic night. I was just trying to get her mind off the nightmare, Tony!" McGee practically screamed. "Anyway, we were watching the movie and talking, she looked up at me smiled and just kissed me." McGee said in a huff and turned back to his computer and went back to work.
Tony just sat there confused. "So she just kissed you? Nothing was said?" Tony asked trying to make sense of it.
"Mhm." McGee said not taking his eyes off the screen.
"That just makes no sense at all." Tony said sliding his chair back to his desk. "You mean to tell me that she just looked at you, smiled, and kissed you?" Tony asked turning to McGee from his desk.
"Yes, Tony. She just looked at me, smiled and kissed me." McGee said looking from his screen to the keyboard.
"Come on, McSneaky. You can tell me." Tony said with a cheesy smile.
"Sorry, but the Elf Lord doesn't kiss and tell." McGee said with an evil smirk.
Tony just rolled his eyes and went back to work. McGee went on doing his job with a huge smile on his face.
Flashback:
McGee and Jessi were sitting on the couch watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Jessi looked up at McGee and smiled. There sat the guy who, one wrote her favorite book ever, and two comforted her during her dark time. She thought to herself, he's right over there what are you afraid of? So she sat up to where they were face to face, turned his head and kissed him.
McGee froze at first not knowing what to think. But as the kiss got deeper, he got more into it.
Soon Jessi just pushed away and laid her head back on his chest and watched the rest of the movie. McGee was confused but didn't care. He had hoped Jessi felt the same way, and that just proved it.
End of flashback.
Jessi walked into her sister's apartment around noon.
Breena was on the phone and as soon as Jessi walked in she got off. "Where were you?" Breena barked as Jessi shut the front door.
"I went for a walk to clear my head and ended up at McGee's. I fell asleep." Jessi said nonchalantly while walking to the couch.
"Why did you go to McGee's?" Breena said following Jessi.
"Because I didn't want to be alone." Jessi flopped on the couch and turned on the TV.
Breena grabbed the remote out of Jessi's hand and turned it off. "You're not alone though." Breena said aggravated that her sister was trying to ignore her.
Jessi stood up and got face to face with her sister. "Oh I'm not am I?"
"No you're not!"
"Then why is when I scream in the middle of the night from my nightmares no one is there?" Jessi yelled at Breena. "I actually had someone who would comfort me when I screamed at McGee's. He was there when my own sister wasn't."
"Well damn Jessi what do you expect out of me? To be by your side 24/7?" Breena said throwing her hands up.
"Not 24/7 but at least come and try to calm me down. Have you even realized that I haven't been sleeping well?"
"Yes I have. I just thought you wanted to be left alone. I thought you didn't need me." Breena said a little calmer.
"Really Breena? You must be blonder than I think."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
Jessi just stared at her with rage. She couldn't believe her sister was not getting that Jessi actually needed her for something.
Review please.
