"What did you just say?"
Tony jogged up to her.
"I love you Ziva" He repeated.
All the people in the lobby eyed them.
"I don't care if we break rule #12. I don't care if anyone thinks we are not going to make it. I don't care if Gibbs slaps the hell out of me because I am dating a co-worker. I love you and I am tired of pretending that I don't. It took us so many years. Please don't walk away now"
Ziva breathed out and closed her eyes for a second. When she opened them again, tears rolled down her cheeks. Tony tried to wipe away a few tears. She closed her eyes and let Tony's hand rest on her cheek.
"Tony" Ziva whispered.
"What?"
"Tony" She whispered again louder now and opened her eyes.
She sighed and swallowed loudly before she continued to speak.
"Tony, I- ugh"
"What?" Tony laughed.
Ziva shook her head and pressed her lips softly against his. A soft laugh escaped her lips as they pulled away and she rested her head against Tony's chest. Without saying anything he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against him tightly.
"I've been waiting for this to happen for so long now" He whispered and kissed the side of her head.
"I'm sorry that it took me so long"
Tony stroke her cheek.
"It's okay. I got you now"
Ziva smiled.
"You know that probably half of the team of NCIS watched us?" Ziva asked and looked up at him.
"Really?" Tony said and looked around.
Everyone was looking at them with a big smile on their face. Tony could have sworn that he saw Gibbs face for a second. His expression said everything. Hurt her and something bad will happen. Tony chuckled and buried his face into Ziva's hair.
"I love you Ziva David"
She looked up at him with a grin on her face.
"I love you too Anthony DiNozzo!"
