Hey so in case you were wondering there are 42 days and approximately 21 hours till the US season premiere of NCIS! Yay! I will spend this time by watching all 8 seasons in order. I'm already on season 2;)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own NCIS or it's characters:/

6 hours later that day

Ziva knew that by telling the Americans about her father they would trust her even less, so she was not surprised by the cold shoulder she was getting. Even Tony seemed a little hurt by this though it showed significantly less than with the others. But Ziva put on a brave face and pushed through determined not to let anything or anyone drag her down.


Later that night when the team would usually part ways Tony asks if he could walk Ziva home and she obliged.

"Zi… I don't understand. Can't you trust me! Because I trusted you. And you knew that," Tony lets out the emotions that had come earlier.

"Tony! I need you to understand that I do! Right now I think I trust you more than anyone else. That is silly since we have just met I know but…" she trails off and moves her body to block his path. She looks up into his green eyes and sees the hurt and she can't stand it.

"I guess I don't understand since I live in D.C what it could be like to live in suspicion. To not completely trust my team," he admits to her.

"And for that you are lucky. It was my father who instructed me not to tell you or the squad. To be honest I was hoping you would figure it out since you knew my last name already"

"My gut was telling me that… I just didn't want to believe you wouldn't tell me," He sighs.

"Do you forgive me Tony? Please. I need you to forgive me," she pleads.

In response Tony leans down and entraps her lips in his. One hand finds her neck while the other wraps around her waist and he feels her encircle his neck with her arms. It feels as though they were made to be in this position forever but the lack of air breaks them apart.

"I'll take that as a yes" she smiles into his lips.

"You should take that as a hell yes," he chuckles back. Then they move back to walking side by side but this time their hands intertwined.


The next morning Tony wakes up smiling. He could tell this was going to be a good day already. He makes it downstairs first so he gets them all coffee, and soon his partners are joining him.

"Tony is the first one down, got us all coffee and hasn't stopped smiling. Something is up," Kate jokes with Tim.

"What I can't be happy one day?" Tony tries to scowl at her.

Gibbs walks in and they all make their way to the car.

"It is weird though Tony… I mean maybe the coffee and the smiles but the first one down! Something's up," McGee smirks.


As soon as they make it into the building Ziva pulls Tony to the side.

"Tony… I need to tell you something. I've been thinking ever since last night and it has to be said," she says very seriously.

"Anything Zi," Tony nods in response but just as it seemed her mouth opened Jedidiah turned the corner and eyed them.

"Hey you two… They're looking for you back in the conference room. Come on," he states promptly then waits for the two to walk off. It seemed whatever it was Ziva had to say was going to have to wait. When Tony walked in Kate quickly came up behind him to see what was up but Gibbs was ready to start. This did not deter her and she continued to stay close by throughout the morning effectively canceling all shots that Zi could tell him anything. It was funny actually, Ziva stayed by Tony waiting for Kate to leave while Kate did the exact same waiting for her to leave!

Alright so I realized the breaks I was putting in weren't showing up in the site and am trying something new. I hope this makes it easier.
