Apartment of Anthony DiNozzo

Tony let a deep groan as he dropped back on his couch with a beer he flipped the television on and found a movie it have been a long week, hell it had really been a long five months every since he had left Ziva on the Tarmac in Tel Aviv. He couldn't believe after eight years that was how it ended with long weekend he had always assumed that if they ever crossed that line that it would last. It was Christmas before he could finally admit it to himself and to Gibbs that even though they only had three days together he was insanely in love with her if he would tell himself the truth he had been for a while now. His only regret was that he never told her, she had told him he was loved was that her roundabout way of saying, hey guess what I love you? Berlin he knew that had been a major turning point in their relationship for that one dance that night they had dropped their walls and had just allowed themselves to feel, he found himself wondering what would have happened had they not been in the accident. All he knew now was he just wanted her to come home an email every month or so was not helping anymore, she was all over the world exploring and healing and he was changing in DC. His men's group was a good idea he was meeting people and dealing with the separation, he knew she would be back the email he got the first month after they had parted confirmed that to him. It had never been a question of if for him it had always been when but her email just two weeks ago said she was on the final leg of her journey she would see him soon hopefully that meant that she would soon be coming home hopefully home to him.

It was coming closer to eight o'clock when the buzzer to his door buzzed, Tony stood from the couch and walked towards the door. He pressed the intercom button. "Yea?"

"I have several packages for an Anthony DiNozzo."

"How many is several?" Tony asked glancing around just wonder what exactly Ziva had sent him.

"Seven Mr. DiNozzo and one of them is rather large."

Bring 'em up." Tony said buzzing the door open. He moved to the dining room moving two of the chairs to make room for Ziva's packages hearing the knock on the door Tony made his way back to the living room and opened the door. The UPS delivery man stood with a dolly of four packages, Tony pointed him to the corner of the dining room after checking the return address which was indeed Tel Aviv, Israel.

"Two more trips Mr. DiNozzo." The UPS guy said as he left through the door. Tony waited by his door opening it again at the knock to the delivery man, the largest package was almost as wide as it was tall, about six and a half feet tall and five foot wide Tony had no idea what Ziva had sent.

"Just put it them with the rest I'll get my wallet I think you deserve a tip for this." Tony said glancing at the packages that took up half of his dining room. He went to the bedroom where he knew his was wallet was and searched through the bills, nothing smaller than a ten. He walked back to the dining room and the delivery man was no longer standing there, he noticed the front door open and walked towards it.

"I don't have anything smaller than…" His voice trailed off as he noticed the woman before him. "Ziva?" Tony stared at her standing there in his doorway after so long where the delivery man had gone he had no idea his gaze was firmly fixed on Ziva it had been so long since her had seen her that his eyes moved hungrily all over her face and body as if he seeing her for the first time again.

"Hello Tony. May I come in?" Ziva asked. She smiled and Tony seemed to snap from his daze and rushed forward pulling her into his arms and into his apartment. He slammed the door with his foot pulling her even tighter against his chest Ziva dropped the carry on and her bag and returned his embrace burying her face in his chest inhaling the familiar scent that was just Tony.

"Why are you here Ziva?" Tony asked mumbling against her hair.

"I can't live without you any longer I hope I don't have to. Can I come home to you Tony or am I too late?" she mumbled against his chest afraid to look him in the eye.

"I told you six months ago in Israel there was no expiration date with us Ziva I love you, and yes before you ask I understood what you were trying to tell me that night." He said pulling from her looking in her eyes he saw his own love reflected back. He kissed he softly pulling back to look her in the eyes once more. "Just tell me you didn't hook up with Adam again so I can kiss you please."

"I did not hook up with Adam Tony I love you too much to do that to you again."

"Ziva." He said softly and brought his mouth to her softly but with a passion. It had been to long since they had kissed or seen each other that the passion between them flared, her arms looped around his neck while his hands buried themselves in her hair bringing her closer. They pulled away air becoming an issue and he rested his forehead against hers.

"We have much to talk about Tony." Ziva said raising her head again.

I am so sorry for the long gap between postings I had a major case of writers block~~AJ
