A/N- Heyy :) THANKS TO EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN REVIEWING!!!! They are awesome keep em coming :)
Ok so this is what was supposed to go in the last chapter but I was kinda falling asleep at the keyboard so I had to stop.
I've added lots of peoples suggetions in this chapter cos people had some pretty awesome ideas hoping they all worked out.....


The beach was so close that everyone could walk down from the house. And it was perfect, the sand was warm from the sun and the water looked pristine and blue. Ziva spent most of the afternoon lying with her head on Tony, the whole time thinking she shouldn't be doing this to herself, the more she did this the harder she was making it for herself to stop later, if Gibbs could see them now they'd both be fired, but she was just so comfortable with him, she liked being Tony's girlfriend….

Tony closed his eyes soaking on the sun and put his arm around Ziva in a half hug. She'd been laying on him all afternoon but he didn't mind at all, she was being a very believable girlfriend he could tell his family was lapping it up. God who was he kidding that wasn't why it was ok with him, he wasn't joking when he'd talked to Dominic, she was incredible, but her knew he couldn't tell her that, if anyone knew Gibbs' rules it was Tony and he knew ever letting Ziva in would lead to breaking rule 12, and eventually lead to Gibbs breaking his neck….

As the afternoon went on people had walked back to the house until only Tony and Ziva remained. Although he knew he'd have to walk back soon and face his father at Gino's Tony was reluctant to move, Ziva hadn't moved from her position on his chest even though everyone had left and who knew when he'd be this close to her alone again. He stayed laying there thinking to himself just five more minutes until Ziva lifted her head and turned to him.

"Race you to the water?" She suggested, Tony didn't even answer just stood up and started to run determined to beat her. Tony reached the water first but was closely followed by Ziva who jumped onto his back pushing him into the waves. Both re-surfaced from the water laughing their faces only centimeters apart. And even though he knew they shouldn't, that they were breaking Gibbs' rule. Tony kissed her. After what felt like forever, Ziva pulled her face from Tony's

"Tony…" but she forgot everything she was about to say when Tony kissed her again. All the thoughts of Gibbs, rule number 12 and the fact that they were ever pretending left their heads.


After dragging themselves from the water and back to the house Ziva claimed first shower, meaning while Tony had his she was able to get ready in the room. She changed into a pair of her best jeans and a green singlet top. She pulled her hair into a low pony tail and added earrings, but just a pair of small hoops. She reached for her neck to think of what she'd forgotten and realised her Star of David necklace was still in the bathroom were she'd left it before going to the beach. She could tell Tony was still in the shower from the annoyingly loud singing, so she decided she should wait to get it, but where would the fun be in that?

"Just the way you look tonight..."Tony was belting out the chorus of the Sinatra classic when he saw Ziva come in through the door. "ZIVA!" He yelled trying to cover himself up as best he could through the glass shower door.

"Do not worry Tony," Ziva started fixing her hair in the mirror, it wasn't what she'd originally come in here to do but it was fun to torment Tony. "I'm not looking."

"That's not the point!" He argued, "Could you just give me a minute?"

"I'll just be a second," she assured him as she grabbed her necklace from beside the sink, "yesterday you were all for me coming in here with you."

"Yeah well yesterday you were gonna be naked too." He didn't sound happy.

"I see your point," Ziva replied turning to look at him, "I.."

"ZIVA!" he yelled again.

"Ok, I am leaving," she said doing up the clasp behind her neck and walking into the bedroom laughing to herself.


When Tony came out of the shower Ziva was sitting on the bed waiting for him. Tightening his grip on the towel around his waist Tony searched through his bag for something to wear and got changed making sure he held the towel so that Ziva didn't see anymore than she already had. Ziva just did her best not to laugh while his back was turned.

"Ready?" Ziva said standing up from the bed when he was done putting on a blue dress shirt.

"Ready." Tony agreed taking her arm as they left.


"Gino's Pizzeria and Restaurant" was a big Italian place downtown, and if the sign outside was anything to go by it sold the worlds best pizzas. as soon as they walked in the door they could tell which table had been reserved for them it was by far the biggest in the room, it actualy looked like they'd pushed multiple tables together, and just like every other table it had a big red and white checked table cloths. It was the only table big enough to seat all 12 people. As they walked in Ziva could sense Marco behind her and it wasn't long before she could feel him there too, this time he had most definitely squeezed her ass, it was all she could do not to turn and smack him in the face but she just kept thinking can't make a scene.

Ziva sat between Tony and ,much to Ziva's dismay, Tony's father. She'd done her best to avoid him but he had made it so the only space for him to sit was next to her. Ziva was becoming less and less sure that his hand on her butt earlier today had been an accident. Under the table Tony had his hand on her knee, Zivawas finding it very comforting and it was distracting her from Marco's leg that kept touching hers. She was continually just gently pushing it away with her own leg but it seemed to be becoming a game to Marco, Zivahad no idea how he could be doing this with his wife right on his other side. She knew there were plenty of ways she could injure him and be sure he wouldn't touch her again but she couldn't make a scene, not here.

The night was filled with talk of tomorrows wedding so Tony and Ziva couldn't join in too much, but they were both just happy that everyone had moved on from yesterdays topic of evening included multiple toasts to the soon-to-be newlyweds, and even one to Tony's first serious girlfriend, Ziva's mind had flicked to Jeanne as they clinked glasses but Tony hadn't felt the need to correct them so she didn't either. As Zivafinished her bowl of pasta she watched Tony n amusement as he tried to finish the biggest sausage and peperoni pizza she had ever seen him attempt, but her attention was quickly drawn to a hand on her thigh. She quickly assessed everything and saw Ton' hands were still above the table shoving the last piece into his mouth that only left one other option she turned to look at Marco. He just gave her a DiNozzo grin. It was nowhere near as good as Tony's trademark smile, Ziva even thought it looked slightly sleazy. Can't make a scene she continued to tell herself sliding her hand under the table to remove Marco's hand that was slowly making its way up her leg. She was just going to slide it away but suddenly he squeezed. Ziva grabbed hold of his hand instantly putting pressure on the area between his index finger and thumb, back when she had been at Mossad it was called a "thumb tap". Marco groaned just load enough for Ziva to hear him in pain. She smiled and leaned in to whisper in his ear.

"You touch me again," she told him, "it won't be your hand." and with that she let go.

Tony had noticed the exchange and was becoming worried, why was Zivawhispering in his fathers ear? She would flirt with him. Would she? As everyone got up to leave Tony grabbed hold of Ziva keeping her back for a second.

"So what's up with you and the old man?" He asked nodding in the direction of Marco. Zivawasn't sure what to tell him, he knew he wouldn't have a problem with her threatening his Dad but she didn't want to worry him.

"Oh nothing," Ziva shook her head, "just a little joke." She lied, and she knew he could see right through it, she had been trained by Mossad and she couldn't even lie to Tony, could she be getting weak at NCIS?

"Nothing?" Tony repeated his eyebrows raised, Zivaswallowed and nodded. "You were whispering in his ear, you were flirting with my father while I was right there!" Ziva was shocked when he accused her but she thought about how it must have looked and decided she had to explain.

"No!" She assured him, "he was touching me, I only threatened to..." but Tony pushed past her to Marco who had just walked out the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" He shouted and shoved a surprised Marco.

"I don't know what you mean Ton..." Marco started to answer innocently but Tony wouldn't let him.

"She's my girlfriend!" Tony yelled again, "you're married and you're hitting on my girlfriend!"

"Tony..." Everyone had turned to look at Marco and people inside Gino's were starting to look out the window.

"S'pose I shouldn't be surprised right," Tony wasn't yelling quite as loud now. "I love this woman and god knows what you were gonna do to her!" He was going to hit him but someone bet him to it Tony turned to see Ziva shaking her right hand.

Ziva noticed everyone staring at her, she even heard Carlo give a low whistle at her hit. She needed to say something, she had punched Marco and everyone was staring, what could she say?

"He squeezed my ass." She explained simply hoping that was a good enough answer. Everyone laughed and made their way to th cars leaving Tony and Ziva, with the exception of Marco and Mandy who were now nursing his, what looked to be broken, nose.

"You broke my Dad's nose," Tony was almost laughing as he put his arms around her.

"You said you loved me," Ziva replied quietly holding her breath unsure if it was the right thing to say, maybe he had just been saying it for effect? But she breathed out in relief when he smiled at her. Ziva smiled back before kissing him ,stopping to laugh when they heard a series of wolf whistles coming from the cars.
