Just a short epilogue to wrap the story up :)
If I can manage it I'll try to update Relaxation Techniques before I go away, but no promises. And that supernatural story I mentioned is not going to happen, the plot just doesn't work with the characters.
Thanks for all the reviews so far :)
And for sticking with me even after this story's hiatus.
7 Weeks Later
Jumping out of Gibbs truck, Jenny walked quickly over to where Harry was lounging against her front door. He shot her a lazy smile as he pushed himself off the door, greeting her warmly, "Jenny." His eyes travelled to where Gibbs was striding up behind her. "And Gunny." He grinned. "Didn't expect to see you here."
"He's my security detail for the day," Jenny answered easily.
Harry's mouth twitched. "Watches your six, does he?"
Gibbs glared, while Jenny tried to put a stern reprimanding look on her face, when that failed, she neatly changed the subject. "So are you going to show me what you've been doing for the past seven weeks or are we just going to stand here and make idle chit chat."
"If it was just the two of us I'd go for the latter, but I reckon idle chit chat might just make that vein on Gunny's forehead head pop." Harry pressed the door keys into Jenny's hands. "Ladies first," he smiled.
As soon as she stepped through the door, the smell of fresh paint assaulted her nostrils. The stained and torn wallpaper from the hallway had been stripped off and the walls painted. Jenny smiled over her shoulder, she suddenly felt unbelievably excited at the thought of having her home back, and in one piece. "I'm just going to check the upstairs."
Gibbs nodded, his hand shooting out to prevent Harry from following. "We'll wait here."
Harry waited until Jenny was gone before turning to Gibbs. "So…..now that I'm not working for Jenny I thought I could ask her for a drink." He shot him a sidelong glance, watching in amusement as Gibbs jaw clenched.
"Scuttlebutt is she's seeing someone," he finally ground out.
"You never used to go in for scuttlebutt."
"Things change."
"Uh huh." Harry smirked, then muttered under his breath. "You lucky son of a bitch."
Gibbs couldn't help the self satisfied smile that appeared on his face. They looked up as Jenny appeared at the top of the stairs, she moved gracefully down the stairs. "You did an amazing job," she smiled.
Harry shrugged. "Just doing my job."
"Well if a tree ever falls onto my roof again I'll give you a call."
"Good to know," Harry laughed. "Well if you're happy with everything then I guess I'll get going."
Jenny shook his hand. "Thank you."
"It was a pleasure to meet you." He turned to Gibbs. "Gunny it was good to see you again.
"And you."
As the front door shut behind Harry, Jenny sashayed over to Gibbs, her fingers brushing over his chest. She smiled up at him, batting her eyelids innocently, she asked, "So do you want to help me christen my new two rooms?"
"Hell yeah," Gibbs mumbled his lips lowering to hers, just as the first few drops of rain began to fall outside.
