We walked into her hotel room and she sat on the bed, while I leaned against the wall across from her. "What now?" She asked the question I really didn't have the answer for. I looked at her and shrugged. I wanted her to come home but from where I stood, it looked like she wasn't going to.
"I don't know, maybe try to come home...to me?" I suggest and she looks at her with a broken look upon her face. "Or not," I sigh and sit next to her. I reach of her hand and holding it in mine without her flinching away warmed my heart. "Promise that one day you'll come home," I say, and look her in the eyes. I watched as she thought it over and I was almost scared that she wouldn't come home. "Say something, anything," I pleaded and the small smile that spread across her face gave me hope.
"I promise."
I smiled at the memory as I walked into the bullpen, I looked to see the brown haired beauty walk up the stairs towards Jen's office. "I told you to tail her, not share a room with her DiNozzo," Gibbs said coming up behind me and giving me a head slap. Dammit. "So, what'd you learn?" He asked sitting down in his seat and looking at me.
"Nothing, we just talked. I learned she had a sister who died along with her mother," I said lying through my teeth. I looked at my computer then over at him. "I think we should trust her...the only thing that we know is that she knows Ari. We don't know whether or not she has been in contact with her. If we want her to trust us we need to trust her," I told him, and the look on Gibbs' face was full of surprise. Whoops. He nodded and told me he's going to see the director. Whatever they do alone up there...wait...they won't be. "BOSS!" I say rather loudly.
"Yes Tony?" He asks turning towards me.
"Director's with Officer David at the moment, might want to stay here," I say and he just rolls his eyes and walks up the stairs anyway, Oh well, not my fault.
I sat alone in my desk and soon enough Kate popped back into my mind.
"Why don't you visualize her naked? Does she intimidate you?" She asks and I almost choked on my tongue.
"No Kate, she does not intimidate me, actually I've actually saw her-"
"Remembering Kate again?" A voice asks and makes me jump a good length off my chair. "I should really stop doing that," She laughed and continued to stand in front of my desk.
"Zi-Officer David, please stop sneaking up on me," I stopped myself from calling her Ziva because McGee happned to walk in the room. She sent me a smirk and took a seat at an empty seat. Not Kates or Gibbs but a seat that was in this area for the sake of people showing up randomly. "So, I believe you. I believe you have no idea where Ari is," I said after amoment and the look on her face gave me a warm feeling, and I'm sure it gave her a warm feeling knowing I believe her.
"What Tony? You believe Ari's Control Officer has no idea where he is?" McGee shouted and Ziva's face turned to stone. Not an emotion on her face.
"Yes McGoo, because if she did she would tell us. She wouldn't want to jeporadize Israel and American relations," I said and Ziva nodded her head.
"If I knew where Ari, you would because he would have his presences known to eveyone in this damn room," Ziva said and got up, storming off towards the ladies. I wanted to follow her but I knew not too. It could cause to much of a suspicion; more then Gibbs already has.
I wish everything wasn't like this, I wish Director David didn't force his daughter to return home. Why couldn't he just let her be happy? Is it because he was American? Was it because he wanted all his children dead? I hate how everyting turned out. I closed my eyes on remembering her. Remembering mine and Ziva's time together.
Her laugh echo'd off the walls of the living room as she laughed at something my father said. I smiled to myself and walked into the room; she sat on the loveseat while my dad sat in the lazy boy. Her eyes met mine as I walked into the room and she removed her legs off the seats, silently asking me to join her. "I'll leave you two..to it," My father said and left. Ziva's cheeks got a light red on her cheeks as she blushed from embarrassment. I placed my finger under her chin, bring her eyes to look into mine.
"You're adorable," I whisper and she let out a tiny chuckle.
"How did I get so lucky," Her voice said, full of awe. I smiled and moved in, placing my lips to hers. I pulled back and went to lean against the arm of the loveseat. She moved so she could lean against me and I just played with her dark brown hair as we had our silent conversations. It wasn't long until I heard the soft snores coming from her.
"Tony," I heard someone say and I looked up to see Gibbs staring at me. Shit.
"Yeah boss?" I asked, acting like I just wasn't off in my own world having a nice day dream while we're suppose to be looking for Ari, Kate's killer. He gestured to the empty bullpen. "McGee decided to pick at Ziva, Ziva freaked and left and McGee probably went to see Abby," I said, answering his question that wasn't voiced. He nodded and sat down in his desk again.
"How do you know her?" Gibbs asked after a few moments off silence.
"hmm?" I asked, a little scared of what he was asking.
"Where do you know Officer David from?"
AND BAM! CLIFFHANGER! Gibbs knows something is weird between Ziva and Tony.
