The next day, Tony walked off the elevators thinking of the night before. The visions that ran through his mind of Ned and Jessi up in the apartment weren't what he wanted to think of. But the more he thought about it, the madder he got. He had the annulment papers in his bag.
He headed straight for Abby's lab. He didn't want to see Jessi, but maybe he would be lucky and she would still be at therapy.
He got off the elevator and walked into the lab. He wasn't that lucky. There sat Ned, Abby, and Jessi all laughing and joking with one another.
Tony stormed over to the desk and slammed the papers down. "Here are the annulment papers, for you know the marriage you're in." he barked. He then looked at Ned. "You do know she's married?"
Ned nodded. "Yeah, she told me last night." Ned told him.
"Oh, so you help in adultery?" Tony snapped.
"No…." Ned became scared. He wasn't sure what Tony would do.
"Hmm…" Tony huffed as he stormed back out of the lab.
After he left, Ned turned to Jessi. "What's his problem?" he asked her.
Jessi just shook her head. "I don't know." She exclaimed looking out the door. "Well I guess I should get started signing these papers." Jessi declared.
She opened the first page and grabbed a pen. She stared at the line where she was suppose to sign, and then slammed down both the page and pen.
"I can't do it!" Jessi uttered in her hands.
Ned put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You know you don't have to sign them. It's your life too." Ned reassured her.
Jessi looked up at him. "Thanks, Ned. But let's be realistic here. He doesn't want to be with me." Jessi cried.
Ned pulled her into a hug. "I think he just doesn't know what he wants." Ned soothed her. He kissed her on top the head.
Abby grabbed the annulment papers and looked through them. "Umm, guys. Look at this." Abby showed them the papers. "Tony didn't sign them either." Abby pointed out.
"What?" Jessi screeched snatching the papers out of Abby's hand and looked through them. She then stood up, angry, and walked to the elevators.
She reached the bullpen, there sat Tony at his desk working on some paper work.
Jessi stomped over and slammed the papers on his desk.
"You didn't sign them?" She yelled.
Tony stood up and ran around the desk, putting his hand over her mouth. "Shh… do you want the whole office to know." He whispered.
Jessi shoved his hand away. "I don't care if the whole world knows." Jessi yelled again. "Just answer the question." She demanded.
Tony looked around and saw all the staring faces. He then grabbed her arm and the papers and dragged her to the conference room.
Once they were inside, he pushed her in and shut the door behind him.
Jessi took her arm out of his grip and walked to the far side of the room. She crossed her arms across her chest, looking at him.
"You going to answer me?" She interrogated.
Tony walked closer to her. "I was waiting for you to sign them first." He explained calmly.
"Psht." Jessi huffed, turning around and facing the window.
Tony came up right behind her. "Look, Jessi, I don't want to end this. I just want you."
Jessi turned around to face him. She jumped when he was right behind her. She then walked backwards until she hit the desk under the window.
"Then why did you push for this annulment?" she pressed.
"Because I thought it was what you wanted." Tony stated walking closer. "And I'm not the one that was flashing their date in my face."
Jessi laughed. "Are you talking about Ned?"
Tony stopped walking and stared at Jessi. "Yeah, Why?"
"Tony, Ned is gay!" Jessi laughed out. She folded over, grabbing her stomach from laughing so much.
"He is?" Tony asked, feeling stupid. "Then why did he stay at your apartment for an hour and a half?" he questioned.
Jessi stopped laughing. "How do you know that?" She asked catching her breath.
"Because…. I was sitting outside in my car." Tony mumbled.
Jessi's eyes widened. "Stalker!" she screeched. "We were having coffee and talking." She explained.
"Oh…" Tony sighed embarrassed. "Well I still didn't like seeing that." He expressed.
"And what about all those dates you said you had?" Jessi accused.
"I made them up." Tony explained. "I have a reputation to uphold, Ms. Slater."
Jessi raised an eyebrow. "And what is that? Being a man whore?" Jessi scoffed.
"If you want to get technical, then yes." Tony exclaimed. "But I would give all that up for you." He started walking towards her again.
He reached her and wrapped her in his arms. "Tu sei la luce che mi guida a casa." He purred in her ear.
Jessi melted in his arms. Then she caught herself and pushed away from him. "Don't try your Italian fancy talk with me, Mr. DiNozzo." She said walking away from him. "I'm still mad at you."
"La mia vita non è completa senza di te in esso." Tony whispered, as he caught her in his arms.
Jessi swallowed hard. She had no idea what he was saying but she loved it.
"Non non c'è nessun me senza di te." He purred once more when she didn't resist.
Jessi released herself from his grip and turned to look at him. "You are not going to make me fall for you, Mr. DiNozzo." She demanded.
Tony walked towards her.
Jessi kept backing up, her hand in front of her to protect herself. "I mean it, Tony. I am NOT going to be one of those girls, that just with a few sweet words, melts in a guy's arms like butter."
Tony licked his lips and walked closer and closer.
"And you can stop that too." She proclaimed as she backed into the wall.
Tony stopped dead in his tracks. "Stop what?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Licking your lips like that." Jessi announced.
"Does it turn you on?" Tony teased as he began walking again.
"No, "Jessi lied. "It's actually a little creepy." She said with ragged breathing.
Tony licked his lips again and walked right up to her, trapping her with his body and putting his arms on either side of her head.
"Gli occhi mettere le stelle per la vergogna." He whispered in her ear.
That was it. She was hooked. She IS one of those girls. She wrapped her arms around his neck and crashed her lips into his.
Tony brought one of his hands down and tangled it in her hair.
He then slid his mouth across her cheek and nibbled on her ear. "Siete l'unico per me, Mrs. DiNozzo." He purred.
Jessi's limbs felt like rubber and she began to fall down the wall, but Tony caught her with his free arm and held her up.
He then made a trail of nips and kisses to her neck. He used his chin to move the collar of her shirt to the side and searched for that sensitive spot between her neck and her shoulder. When she moaned his name, he knew he had found it.
Jessi closed her eyes in ecstasy, forgetting where she was.
Tony brought his mouth back up to hers and gave her a sweet, passionate kiss. He then broke the kiss and whispered. "We'd better get back to work."
Jessi was still dazed.
Tony snapped, and she jolted out of her trance.
"Are you ok?" Tony giggled.
Jessi looked at him. But she still couldn't speak too much. Her mouth felt dry. All she could manage was, "Mhm."
Tony laughed. "I never knew I could have that much of an effect on a woman." He teased.
Jessi finally got her voice back. "Well…. Now you know." She exhaled.
Tony leaned down and gave her a peck on the lips, then escorted her out.
When they opened the door, there stood McGee, hand ready to knock.
"What were you guys doing in there?" McGee inquired.
Jessi shook her head. "Just talking the details of the annulment." She explained.
"Oh, ok." McGee replied. "About that actually, I would just like to apologize for the way I've been acting. I made more of this than it really was." McGee exclaimed.
"Already forgotten." Tony declared.
"Well now that the marriage is annulled, I have nothing to worry about right?" McGee verbalized.
Tony and Jessi looked at one another, and then looked back at him. And almost simultaneously said, "No, not at all."
Review please.
