Tony lay there in shock. She thought they were married? It certainly explained a lot, but it stilled paned him to think she didn't really love him, not the way he loved her, it was just the amnesia speaking. Once he actually thought of a response, he looked down and she was sleeping peacefully in his arms. It made his stomach drop when he realized once he told her that they weren't married all of this would stop. Him saying I love you to her would mean a thing. He carefully slid out from under her and made his way to the door. Tony looked back at her sleeping. He hair strewn across the pillow, she looked so calm and peaceful. He tore himself away from her and made his way down toward the parking lot, going the one place that might actually give him a piece of mind about all of this.
Tony turned the doorknob to Gibbs' house, as usual it was unlocked. By the normal silence around the house he assumed Gibbs must be in the basement like always. Gibbs knew it was Tony from the minute he heard shoes walking down the wooden steps to his basement. He carried on sanding his latest creation, yet another boat, as Tony made his was to lean against the boat, next to Gibbs.
"She thinks we're married Boss" Tony stated, still staring at the wall. Gibbs stopped what he was doing and turned around to lean on the boat next to Tony.
"And why would she think that, DiNozzo?" Gibbs replied gruffly
"Er, well she might of woken up and asked me to kiss her..." Tony said sheepishly, he continued
"And while she was injured at the scene, I told her I loved her" He finished. They were silent for a few minutes until Gibbs broke it
"Well you've really messed this one up haven't you DiNozzo"
"What do I do Gibbs? Should I tell her were not married or just play along until she gets her memory back?" Tony asked helplessly
"I think she'd be more pissed off if you didn't tell her the truth" He replied
"Right, ok. I better tell her then" Tony sighed "Thanks boss"
"No problem, DiNozzo any time" Gibbs said, then went back to sanding his boat.
So all Tony needed to do now was tell her they weren't married, simple right? Not with Ziva involved. Tony took his time on the way back to the hospital, thinking through what he was going to say to his 'wife' He was still trying to figure out what to say when he took at seat next to her bed, how does someone explain something like this? Tony wasn't sure how she was going to react, but it was time to tell her, Ziva has just started to wake up.
He eyes fluttered and she looked confused as to where Tony was until she spotted him sat next to her bed, he was staring at the ground looking pretty distressed and puzzled.
"Hey" Ziva whispered, whilst smiling warmly at him. Tony looked up at her and attempted a smile.
"Hi" He replied back. Ziva patted the space next to her in the bed. Tony decided to go lay with her, one because it would comfort him and two they were meant to be married. Tony lay the next to Ziva, as she snugged up closer to him and put her head on his chest. Tony sat there mostly stiff, and still confused on how to tell her they weren't married
"Why do you look so... Jigsaw?" Ziva asked, as well as looking at him as if to ask if she had got the idiom wrong.
"Puzzled" Tony quickly retorted. Ziva nodded understanding her mistake, he continued
"Zi, er I don't know how to tell you this..." Tony started quietly. Ziva shuffled up so she was sitting up straight, wincing at the sharp pain in her neck, but ignored it. She looked at him to carry on.
"Wee not married" Tony blurted out. Ziva looked at him in confusion.
"What? What are you talking about Tony? Of course we are" Ziva spoke back more adamant
"No, er that's the amnesia Zi, I guess I understand why you think we're married, but were not." Tony replied softly
"W-what?" Ziva said hopelessly. Everything she thought was real, was a lie. The person who made her feel the safest and loved was a lie. Ziva was embarrassed. Embarrassed because loving Tony came so naturally to her, she loved him whether this was a lie or not and it killed her to think that the life she thought she had was not real. She stiffened in Tony's arms and turned away from him, and said one word.
"Leave." Ziva whispered. Tony felt his chest contract, just because they were married doesn't mean he loved her any less.
"Ziva please listen to me, you don't understand, I didn't realized that you thought we were married until last night." Tony pleaded with her. Tony was now stood next to the side of her bed begging her to listen. But out of everything Ziva felt embarrassed, and quite a bit betrayed.
"I said leave." She spoke more powerfully now
"Zi, please listen to me, I love you" Tony started again. She turned to face him, tears rolling down her cheeks, eyes filled with pain and embarrassment.
"Please, don't do this, just leave!" She shouted, turning back around, how could she of been so stupid? She heared his footsteps slowly get quieter as he made his way to the door of the room and slowly exit. She let a deep breath mixed with a sob, how could she of believed they were married. Now he had told her they weren't married she knew it was true, but didn't want it to be. He tried to tell her he loved her to make it ok. But the fact was, it was not ok, far from it. The truth was Ziva David was in love with Tony DiNozzo, but how could she tell him now? After everything had just become more complicated. It was her all over, complicated. She didn't need it, and certainly anyone else didn't need it. So she made a decision.
