Sometimes You Just Can't Help It Ch7
Callen was glad that they had the weekend to discuss what they were going to do about their relationship now that the job was done and they would be going back to work. They decided they would do what Hetty said and keep their personal live out of their work life; they would act like nothing had changed between them. They knew it was going to be difficult to pretend nothing happened let alone kept their hands off each other, which Callen wasn't ashamed to admit he hadn't been able to keep his hands off Nell.
It took him a couple of weeks to stop himself from staring at Nell and wanting to reach for her, to kiss her, they certainly made up for it on weekends and after work of course they went out on dates, did the normal things went to the movies out to dinner, they were very carefully not to get caught because they weren't quite ready for everyone to know about them just yet.
Before Callen even knew it months had past, as he watched Nell dress for work he felt like they had got into a nice and comfortable rhythm and no one had suspected anything but Callen figured they probably already knew by now and considering he and Nell would be arriving together this morning they would soon be jumping to conclusions but he tried not to think about that.
As his phone rang so did Nell's, they didn't even think and answered at the same time, Nell covered the mouth piece as she giggled and stepped out of the room.
"Was that a female echo G" Sam asked
"I have no idea what you're talking about" Callen answered "what's up Sam"
"We're needed at ops, do you need me to pick you up"
"No I've got to pick up Nell, her car's in the shop, I'll be there soon" Callen replied and hung up and got out of bed and started getting dressed from the clean set of clothes he kept at Nell's, Nell stepped back in the room then.
"That was close" Nell giggled
"Very" Callen said drawing her to him and kissing her "Sam heard a female echo"
"I think they all know by now"
"Well you would think they would, considering it's their job to find things, we should go" Callen said giving her another brief kiss.
He kissed her one last time before they got out of the car to head inside, when they did Nell headed upstairs and Callen headed over to his desk
"So you and Nell huh?" Kensi asked as Callen sat down
"What" Callen replied
"You and Nell don't usually come in together" Kensi said
"She needed a lift her car's in the shop, she asked if I could give her a lift and I do live the closest to her from the rest of us, or so I found out this morning" Callen told her as he finished Eric whistled "Director Vance is online" Eric said and Callen was the first to get up and head to ops.
It was the LA team's turn to go to Washington; before he left he went to find Nell who was destroying documents.
"I've got to go" Callen told her
"I know and I'll see you when I get back" Nell replied turning the incinerator on
"Do you want to take my car?"
"No it's okay, my car is finished I'll catch a cab from here"
"Oh okay then, I'll let you know when we get there" Callen said pulling her to him and claimed her mouth, he was glad she wrapped herself into him and into the kiss.
