When I woke up I could smell food. I quickly jumped out of bed. I hurried down the stairs almost falling. "Whoa Probie she looks much better in your shirt than you do." Mike said looking me up and down. Gibbs shot Mike an angry look. "Are you hungry Abs?" Gibbs asked. I nodded. "Good I'll grab you a plate." Gibbs said. I sat down and started talking with Mike.
"I got a new boat." Mike told us. "Oh yeah." Gibbs said obviously surprised. "Yeah just a little boat not much. An amigo of mine sold it to me." Mike answered with a smile. "Does it float?" Gibbs asked. "Yes." Mike answered annoyed by the question. "Will I get to see this boat?" I asked with a flirty smile. "How about today?" Mike suggested. "Sounds good to me." I said.
Gibbs and Mike were still having a stare down. I hurried and finished eating. "I better go shower and get dressed." I said rushing up the stairs. I heard Gibbs and Mike both laughing. I grabbed a bikini it was yellow. Then I grabbed an orange sun dress to put over my swim suit. Then I put on the blond wig and arranged it into a ponytail. I grabbed a pair of sandals out of my bag. I realized I didn't have sunglasses. I looked through the accessories Ziva packed and was happy to see sun glasses.
"Are you ready?" Gibbs asked. He kept looking me up and down. It was like he couldn't believe it was me. "I need sunscreen." I said. Gibbs showed me the bottle. It was SPF 50. "How do I look?" I asked. "You always look good Abs." He answered. I smiled. "Let's go." Gibbs said leading me out of the house. We walked a few miles. "Wow that's a nice boat." I said as we approached it. Gibbs just nodded. I was so looking forward to the day away.
"Permission to come a board." I said to Mike. "Yes please join us fine lady." Mike responded kissing my hand and helping me onto the boat. "Good to see you Probie." Mike said. "What did you mean us?" I asked confused. "Leyla and Ameria are already on the boat." Mike answered. I frowned. I was really worried.
"Are you sure it's safe for them to be here with me?" I asked. "Stop worrying so much." Mike said. I turned to Gibbs and asked. "Do you think this is safe?" "Mike's right you are worrying too much." Gibbs answered. I sighed. They were probably right. No one would ever imagine I would look like this. I was a little worried about all my tats showing.
I greeted Leyla first. Then I greeted Ameria. She had gotten so big since I saw her last. "Dolls, I love playing dolls." The little girl exclaimed happily. I noticed Gibbs had taken his shirt off. He looked so amazing. It was still in such great shape. I was amazed by it. After applying my sun screen I started playing dolls with America. Leyla went to make us all lunch. I offered to help but she promised playing with America was help.
During lunch Leyla and I got a chance to talk. She had met a nice man. Though she liked him, she felt their relationship couldn't move forward. I asked her why. She said she felt indebted to Mike. She also felt though her husband had been gone years she was still betraying him. "Oh Leyla he would want you happy. I bet Mike will too." I said hugging her.
"What about you? How is your love life doing?" She asked. "I haven't had a boyfriend in a long time." I said. "Why not?" She asked. "I've been wondering that as well." Gibbs said. I blushed bright red. "Don't sneak up on me. We were just talking." I stuttered.
"Mike invited us to dinner tonight." Gibbs said. "That sounds great." I said. I really liked Leyla. I was glad to get to spend more time with her as well as Ameria. We stayed at the boat another couple of hours. "Let's head home to change." Gibbs said. "Sure we see you all later." I said following Gibbs. On the walk back we were both quite.
