Chapter 8: You Ready ?

A/N: I know my last chapter was badly written, but I did write it at 0400, so yeah. You know the expression, 'Life's a bitch', well so is writers block. Enjoy this new chapter. Unless you have already read it then it will not be new, but still enjoy.

It was 0800 Tuesday morning, Ziva and Tony had just gotten out of the elevator laughing and drinking coffee. It was normal for them to do this so nobody thought anything of it. They sat down at their desks and started up their computers.

"Hello McGee." Ziva said.

"Hi Ziva." McGee replied not looking up from his desk.

"Hey McGeek, wheres Gibbs?" Tony asked.

"Hi Tony, look behind you." McGee stated as he looked behind Tony.

"DiNozzo, David conference room now, McGee work on those cold cases." Gibbs barked.

"Okay boss." They all replied.

Gibbs, Tony and Ziva headed towards the conference room. Gibbs was in front of them and Tony and Ziva kept silently asked the other if they knew what was going on. Neither of them did.

They finally got to the conference room, Tony and Ziva sat down next to each other while Gibbs sat in front of them.

"We in trouble boss?" Tony asked as he held Ziva's hand under the desk.

"I want to know why we are all going to the bar tonight? God please don't tell me that Ziva is pregnant?" Gibbs stated.

"No she is not boss, are you?" Tony asked Ziva.

"No, I am not pregnant. We are going to tell everyone that we are dating, we hate sneaking around and keeping secrets from the others." Ziva stated, still holding Tony's hand.

"Okay, well just remember, I don't want the two of you playin' grab ass when you need to be doing work. When you guys have a break, or are finished you work I don't mind you sharing a kiss or two, but do not make it too intimate. Do I make myself clear?" Gibbs said calmly.

"You got it boss, so you still coming tonight?" Tony asked.

"Yeah, how could I pass up watching the others react to this? Does anyone else know about the two of you?" Gibbs asked with a small smile on his face.

"Well there is just you and Abby so far. Ducky, Jimmy, McGee, and the Director will find out at the bar tonight." Ziva said to her boss while lightly squeezing Tony's hand out of excitement.

"Okay, one other thing, when are we meeting at the bar tonight?" Gibbs asked while getting out of his seat.

"2100 boss, that is when everyone else is coming." Tony stated as they let go of each others hands and got up out of their seats and headed towards the door.

"Okay sounds good. Everyone is getting off work at 2000, so that won't be a problem." And with that Gibbs left.

Tony and Ziva went back to the squad room to work on the cold cases.

"What was that all about?" McGee asked as they sat down at their desks and started working.

"Boss man wanted to know when to meet us all at the bar. I told him that we are all meeting there at 2100, McNosey." Tony replied.

"Okay, is everyone still coming?" McGee asked.

"Yes, McGee, are you still joining us tonight?" Ziva asked her friend.

"Of course, I haven't been out for a few drinks since the last time we all went out a few weeks ago. Are you still going Ziva?" McGee asked.

Tony and Ziva looked at each other and burst out laughing. The whole point of the team going to the bar is so Tony and Ziva can tell everyone about their new relationship.

"Yes McGee, I am." Ziva said still laughing.

They got on with their work and it was 1230 when Gibbs said. "Go have some lunch. You have 30 minutes before you have to be back here finishing these cold cases."

McGee walked off to the break room while Tony and Ziva got into the elevator.

"So sweet cheeks, where do you wanna go for lunch?" Tony asked as the doors closed.

"Well my hairy little butt, how about we get Chinese food?" Ziva said looking at Tony.

"Sounds great. Ziva do you want to stay over again tonight?" Tony asked as the elevator doors opened.

"I would love to, but after work we will have to go back to mine to get some more clothes before we go to the bar." Ziva said as they headed towards Tony's car.

"Okay, why don't you just bring enough clothes to stay all week, I have enough closet space and a have a few empty draws you could use." Tony said as he started up the car.

"Thank you Tony, that would be amazing. Now I am starving, lets go get lunch.

"They drove off to get their food. Once they got it they brought it back to the office. Tony pulled his chair up next to Ziva's at her desk. They ate and talked just they they usually did. McGee came into the bull pen to see Tony and Ziva laughing and eating together. He did not think much of it as they did it a lot, but something seemed different now and he could not figure out what it was.

They finished their food and chucked the containers in the trash. Tony still stayed at Ziva's desk and helped her with some things on her computer. They were typing on her keyboard together and every now and then their hands would brush against each other and they would smile every time that happened. Tony moved back over to his desk when Gibbs walked out of the Director's office and got on with his work.

It was a long day since they did not have a case but everyone finished their clod cases by 2000.

"Go home and get changed, be at the bar by 2100. I will go and tell everyone else to go. See you all in an hour." Gibbs said as he left the bull pen.

"See ya later McGee, you ready to go Ziva?" Tony asked as he stood next to her desk.

"How come your driving her home again Tony?" McGee asked Tony.

"Yes I am ready Tony, and my car broke down yesterday when we were sent home early McGee, if you must know." Ziva said as she got up from her desk.

"Okay, fair enough. See ya later." McGee said as he packed his things away.

"Bye, McGee." Ziva and Tony said as they got into the elevator and the doors closed.

"So are we going to your place first to get your things?" Tony asked Ziva.

"Yes, then we will go back to yours so I can unpack my things. Now, lets go to mine before we lose anymore time." Ziva said as Tony drove off.

On the ride to her apartment they were singing along to the radio and just having fun. 'Bleeding Love' by Leona Lewis came on and they both smiled.

"Look Zi, it's our song." Tony said as the song started.

"I have never had a song with anyone before." She said as she placed her hand in his and locked their fingers together.

The song finished and they pulled up outside Ziva's apartment. They got out of the car and went up the stairs to the second floor, and to her apartment. She unlocked her door and put her bag next to table where she keeps her mail, they both took off their shoes and jackets and headed towards the kitchen to get a drink.

"I am going to grab a quick shower, get changed and pack my things, I will be 15 minutes. Help yourself to anything you want in the kitchen and watch some TV if you want." Ziva said as she walked up to him and gave him a kiss, something she has wanted to do all day. Since only Gibbs and Abby knew they were dating they could only kiss when in Abby's lab. So they would make an excuse to go down every so often but it only worked once, after that Gibbs would go down with them to see Abby. She broke away from the kiss and headed towards her bedroom so she could shower, get changed and packed. While she was showering Tony got a diet coke and made himself comfortable on the sofa and started watching 'The Big bang Theory'. She came out of the shower and got changed into some ripped skinny jeans, a denim crop top and her black converses. She had never worn outfits like this before, but when she is with Tony she always dresses to impress. She left her hair down, curly and wet. She packed her things into a duffle bag and checked to make sure she had everything. She walked out of her room and placed her bag on the kitchen counter and got herself a diet coke. She sat down next to Tony on the sofa and curled up in his arms. They were comfortable together, they has 30 minutes until they had to be at the bar. Everyone else had 45 minutes to get there, but Tony and Ziva decided that they would go 15 minutes earlier than everyone else so that they could figure out what they were going to say. They switched off the TV 5 minutes later and Ziva got her bag and met Tony at the door.

"Hey Ziva, you wanna a piggy back ride?" Tony asked while Ziva was locking her front door.

"A what?" Ziva asked confused. She still had a little problem with understanding English.

"You know where you get on my back and I carry you, so do you want one?" Tony asked when he saw that she understood what he was saying.

"Sounds fun, here take my bag and turn around." He did what she said and then she jumped on his back, lightly wrapping her arms around his neck and wrapping her legs around his waist.

Just before he started walking he turned his head and she leaned closer to his face and gave him a kiss. "Ready to go Sweet Cheeks?" He did not wait for a reply before he started walking towards the stairs. Once he reached the top of the stairs he slowly and carefully started to walk down them. Once he got to the bottom of the stairs he turned to face her once again and kissed her again, then he walked out of the building and towards the passenger side of his car. He lightly dropped her to her feet and turned around to face her yet again so he could kiss her. He could not get enough of her. He has his arms wrapped around her waist and she had her arms around his neck.

They broke away from the kiss and then got into the car. Once they got to Tony's apartment he grabbed a shower and Ziva put her things away so she would not have to do it later on, then she headed towards the couch and switched on the TV. Once he had finished in the shower he put on some jeans and a blue and white dress shirt with the top few buttons undone. He walked out of the bedroom and sat next to Ziva on the couch.

"Zi, you ready to go to the bar?" Tony asked as they both stood up.

"I am ready, are you?" Ziva asked as she just stood there and simply hugged him . This hug was full of love and he hugged he right back.

"Yes I am." He simply replied.

They left his apartment hand in hand. The bar was just around the corner so they decided they would walk to the bar.

They were sat at a large booth for 15 minutes when they saw the rest of the team at the door. Tony and Ziva were holding hands under the table and Tony said, "You ready?"

She nodded her head in response and lightly squeezed his hand under the table.
