"Hey Kens" Deeks says as he makes his way into the bull pen.
"Morning Deeks" Kensi distractedly replies while looking through sheet after sheet of paperwork.
"Whatcha doing?"
"What's it look like I'm doing?"
"Whoa, are you ok-"
"I'm fine!"
"I know what will make you feel better. A kiss from yours truly. Nothing like some love from the greatest partner in the world."
"Ha! You wouldn't be able to get that close to me and live to tell the tale."
"I smell a challenge. Wanna bet?"
"A bet?" She looks up at him. "What has gotten into you this morning? You seriously want to wager that you could kiss me without my permission? We're partners, Deeks. It would be totally unprofessional."
"Is Kensi Blye backing down from a challenge? I bet you that I could steal five kisses from your lips by the end of the work day."
"No way!"
"Is it a deal?"
"Wait, what do we win?"
"Whatever we want."
"Deal"
"Let's shake on it."
Kensi sticks out her hand. Deeks grabs it, pulls her to him, and in the blink of an eye, pecks her lips quickly before she even has a chance to comprehend what happened.
"One down, four more to go." Deeks winks at her.
Kensi, frozen in place, can't believe that just happened. "What..."
She spoke softly, clearly confused as she watched Deeks walked away towards the gym.
After fifteen minutes of doing paperwork, Kensi gets up and heads over to the gym to see what Deeks is up to.
"Hey Kensi, come join me. Want to spar on the mat?"
"Alright, you're on!"
Kensi goes into the locker room and changes into some athletic wear before quickly returning to Deeks.
"You're going down, surfer boy!"
"Yeah, down on top of you!" Deeks' comment earns himself a slap on the arm.
Deeks and Kensi step onto the mat and start circling around. Each waiting for the right move to take the other person down.
"In your dreams." Kensi rolls her eyes.
"Funny you should mention that, I-"
Kensi goes for Deeks' leg and takes him out. He falls on his butt with a thud.
"Don't even finish that sentence."
"That was a little harsh, Kens, don't you think?
"Whatever gets the message across, Partner." She smiles.
He gets back up. "Alright, no more talking, it's all concentration this time."
"Ha! Good luck with that. I'm a beast at this mat."
Deeks makes a move but Kensi blocks it. He tries again but she's good.
'Ok...new strategy, Deeks' thinks to himself.
"Whoa there, Deeks! I can see the wheels turning. Don't hurt yourself."
"I will take you down, Blye, if it's the last thing I do."
"I like the confidence."
"Wanna dance?"
"No"
"Kensi, look over there!"
"Not going to happen."
Deeks, all of a sudden, stops and makes his move. He thrusts out his left arm and Kensi blocks it with her left arm. In turn, Deeks grabs her right arm with his right arm and spins her whole body around causing her back to lay against his chest. Thus, making her arms immovable. He then kicks her knees out causing her to fall down. Deeks lowers her onto the floor and proceeds to hold her arms above her head with his left hand while clutching her bent legs tight against him with his other hand. Kensi is pinned down and totally encompassed from head to toe. She tries to squirm but Deeks isn't having any of it.
"I've got you now."
"Touché. Now let me go, Deeks!
"Not before I do this.."
Deeks leans down and gives Kensi a full kiss on the lips, taking advantage of their current situation.
"That was number two." Deeks whispers coyly after all is said and done.
Kensi's eyes go wide.
"Guys, we have a case!" Eric calls from the top of the steps.
Everyone heads up to OPS.
"Mr. Deeks and Miss Blye," Hetty begins, "this case is for you. Frederick Ontario is a wealthy business man in the diamond industry. He also does charity work and hosts grand ballroom galas. Someone has been stealing from him and selling diamonds on the black market. I need you two to go undercover as a couple and attend his next charity ball. You will scout out the place for potential thieves whilst selling yourselves as owl enthusiasts. Make it seem natural and as always, you will be on the list to get in."
"Well, I guess we better brush up on the waltz. Don't you think, baby girl?"
"Save it for the dance, scruffy."
Kensi and Deeks made it into the ball with no problems, just as Hetty had said. The two of them had never really been to a daytime function such as this. Daytime galas were rare and truly something special. Mr. Ontario really knew how to do it right. Deeks looked marvelous in his tux and Kensi was flawless in her gown. They quickly made a few acquaintances and had a look around. Shortly there after, Kensi spotted a guy who looked rather uncomfortable.
"Deeks, 12 0'clock."
"May I have this dance?"
Kensi nodded. She then smiled as Deeks led her onto the dance floor so they could keep a good watch on the suspect without looking suspicious. The pair didn't want to seem like they were staring.
After a few dances, it appeared as though the guy had caught on. The music had slowed and Deeks and Kensi needed to change tactics.
"Uh oh! The suspect made eye contact."
"Ok Kens, it's time to really sell this cover."
As the orchestra reared up and became louder, Deeks and Kensi followed the music making grand gestures. They glided all around the dance floor. Deeks twirled Kensi then spun her out and back into his chest. It was a magical moment that Deeks took full advantage of.
"He's watching, Deeks."
"Now is when the romantic couple act comes into play. Just go with it."
"Huh?"
Deeks dipped Kensi and gave her a grand kiss on the lips. Kensi lost herself in the moment and kissed back passionately. The crowd cheering wildly.
When they finally came back up, the suspect was heading out of the room. Deeks and Kensi sprinted into gear, chased after him, and soon solved the case. Everything wrapped up smoothly so they headed back to OPS.
"Kensi, if I didn't know any better, it seemed like you really enjoyed that kiss."
"I was just selling the cover, Deeks. Don't make a big deal out of it."
"By the way, that was number three. Boy, am I getting good."
"Ugh!"
"Hey Kensi, I got you a donut." Deeks said as they settled back into their desks after the ball to do paperwork.
"Why? What did you do to it?" Kensi said looking down to her desk where a single white-powered donut sat.
"Nothing. I just wanted to give the greatest partner in the world something that she really loves. Is that so wrong?"
"No, I just don't like that smirk on your face. You seem way too suspicious for this to be a random act of kindness without some ulterior motive. Well anyways, I'm not going to turn down a perfectly good donut."
Kensi takes a big bite out of her donut and Deeks starts to snicker.
"What?" Kensi glares at Deeks.
Kensi had a big ring of white powder all around her mouth. Deeks had picked the sugariest donut he could find, on purpose, in hopes that something like this would happen.
"Uh Kens, you have a little something on your face." He gestures to the corner of his mouth.
"Oh..."
"Here let me get that." Deeks comes over and leans into her face.
Kensi catches him puckering his lips and she quickly leans back.
"Ah ha! Now I see what you did there. I don't think so, lover boy!"
"Just making sure you haven't completely lost your senses. I know it's hard to resist me as we've experienced earlier in the day."
He gives her an award winning smile.
"I will not let you win this, Deeks. I am all focused."
"We'll see, cupcake, we'll see." He says and steals a bite of her donut.
"Hey! That's mine."
Deeks winks at her.
Late into their work day.
"I'm going to go for a walk and get some fresh air." Deeks states getting up from his seat and walking away.
Kensi looks up and furrows her brow as she watches him walk away. She shrugs her shoulders and gets back to work.
Deeks comes back in, half an hour later. He silently walks up behind Kensi, who is at the coffee table, and taps her shoulder.
Kensi turns around, looks at his face, then at the flower in his hand.
"What's that?" She asks pointing to the flower.
"It's a tulip."
Kensi's face turns into one of confusion. "Ok...what are you doing with it?"
Deeks sticks his hand out towards Kensi giving her the tulip. "For you."
"Thanks?" Kensi takes the tulip and inspects it.
"Do you know why it is called a
tulip?"
"No why?"
"Because my two lips will shortly be on yours."
"Excuse me...?"
Deeks swoops in, wraps his arms around her back, and cuts her off with solid kiss to the lips.
Kensi gently pushes back on Deeks shoulders, breaking the kiss.
"Wow Deeks, That's not fair." Kensi sighed breathing heavily.
"I could get used to this. One more kiss, My Sweet, and you are all mine." Deeks smiles and wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.
"Don't get your hopes up, Shaggy!"
At the end of the day, Kensi comes up to Deeks.
"Well, we're about to leave and you still haven't won the bet."
"I still have five more minutes." Deeks replies confidently to Kensi.
"Good luck with that." She scoffs.
Kensi turns around to leave. Deeks comes up behind her and kicks her legs out from under her making Kensi fall backwards. Deeks catches her in his arms halfway to the floor.
"I knew you'd always fall for me, Kens." He smirks then lays a passionate kiss on her.
As he's kissing Kensi, Deeks picks her up bridal style. Kensi pulls back and looks into his eyes.
"You've already lost Princess, just give in to your feelings." Deeks says as his breath bathes her lips.
Kensi silently reaches up placing her left hand around the back of Deeks neck. Pulling his face toward hers, Kensi connects their lips once more.
Deeks, entranced in the lip lock, places Kensi on his desk table and proceeds to make out with her, making memories he is sure not to forget.
After Deeks and Kensi realized they were still at work, they pulled away.
"Go get dressed up in to something really fancy, my lovely Kensalina. I want you looking exquisite for when I take you out on a date."
Deeks pushes her toward the door with a tap to her butt.
Kensi gasps but does what she's told. Butterflies erupt in her stomach and the excitement of what's to come courses through her veins.
Who would have thought Marty Deeks could have such an effect on her?
Now it is her chance to return the favor. Time to make him speechless.
