Chapter 7

Kensi was sitting on her desk going through some paperwork. It had been three days since that day and she couldn't do any kind of field work because she still had stitches on her leg and if she made too much effort, they would open again. Callen and Sam had gone out to pick up lunch so she was stuck waiting for them.

She and Callen had fallen into a comfortable routine for the past couple of days. They would only talk about work during the day but at night, he was always in her bed, waiting for her. He was always there to rub her back in an effort to calm her down when she woke up with nightmares. He had been there the night before when she had made a wrong move and had ripped two stitches. He had driven her to the hospital after cleaning the blood and making sure that the bleeding was under control. He had lectured her about not making that kind of movements if she didn't want to end up in the hospital again but she had seen that the truth was that he was worried with her.

Kensi knew what he was trying to do. She knew that he was trying to prove that he could be there for her whenever she needed him to be. He was trying to prove her that he wouldn't just walk away when things got a bit complicated. He was trying to make her see that she could trust him with her heart because he wouldn't break it. She knew that they needed to talk but she was afraid. Everyone that she had loved so far had either left her or let her down. Her father had been the first one on the list followed very closely by one of her best friends. After that, she had seen many people come and go but none that had really mattered for her. Then it had been her boyfriend. They had been together for a while when she had found out that he was only using her to find out information about her father. After that, she had lost a partner and then Dom too. She had almost lost Callen a couple of times already and she knew how hard it had been. She couldn't imagine how hard it would be to lose someone like Callen, a person that she cared so much about.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the two smiling agents who walked and sat next to her with bags of food.

Kensi knew what she had to do. As soon as she was home, she would have to talk to Callen about their relationship.

Callen opened the door and they both entered the house. As soon as they did, Kensi took off her jacket and stood in front of Callen. He looked at her with confusion written all over his face so she started to talk:

"I have issues…I have lots and lots of issues. When my father was killed I started to build a wall around my heart to keep everyone outside. That way, I figured that nobody would ever hurt me. All those people who left me just made the wall stronger but you're trying to break it. It won't be easy to do so, Callen!"

Callen just smiled and got closer to her.

"Good thing that I have the right tools, then! I need help, though. I can't break that huge wall if you won't help me. Are you willing to do that?"

"I want to be happy and I know that I can't do that if I don't let anyone in so yes, I will help you but you're stronger so you'll have to do the majority of the hard work!"

"Don't worry…I'm all for hard work!"

With that much said, he kissed her with passion. They both needed this. They both wanted this. He finally had her permission to do what he had wanted to do for a couple of weeks now. He had her permission to try to make his way to her heart. Callen felt her hands making their way inside his shirt but he pulled back. She looked at him confused.

"I want you, Kenz…I really do but I won't do this until you're not fully healed. I don't want to see as much blood as last night."

Kensi sighed and nodded.

"I guess I can wait! I'll have the stitches off in one week…"

"Thank God for that! I don't think that I can wait longer than that!"

They both laughed and went to bed.

Kensi was walking down the street to her car. Callen had left earlier to go work out with Sam so she was alone and therefore decided that it would be a good idea to stop by her favorite donut's house for breakfast. She was walking to her car when she got the weird feeling that someone was following her. It might have been just paranoia but she was a well trained agent so she got closer to a store that was selling sunglasses and was able to see that someone was indeed following her. She couldn't take a good look at the person though so she pretended o ask a woman where was the closes bakery. The woman explained it to her and she had the chance to see the man's face. It was no one that she recognized but he was indeed following her.

Kensi kept on walking but sent a text message to Eric with her address so he and the guys could see what was going on.

Eric received the text and asked Callen and Sam what was he supposed to do with that. They tried to call Kensi but she didn't answer so Eric decided to hack into the security cameras that were on that street. They could see Kensi and there was a guy after her that was clearly following her. They could see how Kensi had cornered the guy in a moment of distraction and they could see that he was telling her something but the sound that they could capture wasn't enough to hear what he had said. They did hear the 5 clear sounds of gunshots that followed though. The guy dropped to the floor in front of Kensi and she tried her called an ambulance but they all knew that it was too late. Callen and Sam looked at eachother and ran out of the building to go pick up Kensi. Whatever that man had told her it was important and he had been killed because of it.

TO BE CONTINUED…
