Chapter Three - Some Snoring and Walking
1995 4:20am - Tel-Viv, Israel - The American Embassy
Jennifer who had woken up 10 minutes ago had her head resting on her hand while she watched Ziva snoring; Jen couldn't help but smile as she watched her lover, the noise was annoying but it was also cute at the same time.
In a world of her own Jennifer didn't realise Ziva had woken. "Jennifer... are you... watching me sleep?" Ziva asked in annoyed tone.
Jennifer gave Ziva a sweet smile and simple said "yes... but only for 10 minutes" Jennifer finished hoping that would calm Ziva a bit.
"You've been watching me... for 10 minutes and you think that's ok" Ziva said as you got off the bed and begin pacing the room it was always something she did it helped her to think.
Jennifer left the bed and went over to the pacing Ziva standing in her way so she could easily get her attention immediately stopping when she sure Jennifer in her path.
"Ziva I'm really sorry... I guess you don't want to see me anymore?" Jennifer asked looking very sad.
"Don't be silly Jen, of course I want to see you... just don't do the staring thing it's creepy." Jennifer nodded so Ziva continued. "Anyway moving on, do you want to come to my apartment so I can't some things" Ziva said to Jen with a smile.
"I love to..." Jennifer replied with a smile give the room a quick scan for her clothes.
Once Ziva and Jennifer were both dressed they made their way to Ziva's apartment it was about a half-hours walk from the embassy, once there Jennifer was surprised by the size of it. Opening the front door and stepping inside Ziva went give to the wardrobe and grabbed a bag that was on top of it.
Walking around the room Ziva made a grab for things she needed, but was importantly she grabbed the violin that was inside a metal case under the bed; lifting off the floor and placing on the bed so she wouldn't forget it; Ziva went over to the chest of draws to grab so more stuff and then disappeared into the bathroom.
Jennifer was having a look around while Ziva packed something's, while looking around Jen couldn't help but notice there were no pictures of her Ziva's family up or pictures of anything in fact the room was revere bare, there wasn't even a television. Jen then spotted the metal case on the bed and which made her smile.
"Ziva... is that your sniper rifle, I don't think you'll need that" Jennifer could help but smile as she spoke.
Ziva came out of the bathroom with a few items and placed them in her bag, all the while smiling at Jen zipping her bed and grabbing the case she went to walk out the front door with Jennifer close behind her. Making sure the door was locked when Ziva was satisfied that it was she and Jen made their way back to the embassy.
With a smile Ziva faced Jen so she could talk to her. "Jen... why do you think a sniper rifle is what is in here" Ziva said with a smirk and slowing lifted the case up and down to emphasize her point.
"Well seeming as you sound fairly annoyed I'm going to go out on a limb and say... that isn't a sniper rifle" Jennifer said to Ziva with a smile and pointing at the case that was in Ziva's hand.
Ziva laughed at Jen's answer and continued to walk to the embassy; she was quickly falling for this girl and had to find a way to stop it, after their mission Jennifer would return home and Ziva would never see her again.
"So... are you going to tell me what's in the case or do I'll need to guess?" Jen asked Ziva as they walked back the metal gates of the embassy.
"Sorry I was in deep thought... it's a violin" Ziva replied smile at Jen's reaction.
"What as in..." said Jen as she did a little violin impression.
"Yes actually like that..." Ziva replied smiling it had been long time since someone had made her smile so she defiantly enjoying Jennifer's company.
"I can't believe you play the violin... so how long have you been playing?" Jennifer asked as grabbed Ziva's bag and walked back up the stairs to the room she and Ziva are sharing.
"I got when I was 4... So 12 years" was Ziva's reply.
"How about you, do you play something?" Ziva asked Jen.
"The piano?" Jen replied with a smile holding the door open for Ziva.
"You really need to stop doing that" Ziva said to Jen.
"Doing what" Jen replied smiling.
"That... smiling after ever answer" Ziva replied which made Jen laugh.
"Why baby... don't you like it when I smile" Jen said challenging Ziva with a smile.
"I love it and that's the problem" Ziva replied in a serious sounding tone putting the case she had in her hand beside the sofa.
Jennifer noticed the serious of the tone knowing actually what Ziva was getting at, putting Ziva's bag down she said to her "Because I'll have to go home sometime, right" Jennifer said to Ziva who nodded.
Sitting down on the sofa Jennifer pulled Ziva into her arms and did her best to comfort her, pulling away and brushing Ziva's hair out of her face "look I know this is hard, but let's not think about when I have to leave and just enjoy the time we'll have together" Jen said to Ziva smiling who thankfully smiled back.
"That's a good idea..." Ziva replied still smiling.
