I would love some reviews and/or ideas on if I should continue this or not.
For all you TATER's, I'm keeping my promise from the last chapter.
A few hours later – The Bullpen
Tony was giddy.
He had a date tonight and not just any old date but a date with one Ms. Kate Todd.
Amazing.
He was twirling his pencil out of habit while trying to decide where he was going to take her. It was Friday after all and he wanted it to be special…I mean, you only got to do a real first date once. No do-overs allowed.
She looked hot today. He'd always liked her in that red sweater and now that he'd had a glimpse of what was underneath, he had a new appreciation for it. He put his feet up on the trashcan under his desk and allowed himself a few moments of pure remembrance bliss from last night. He could not have drawn it any better than the way it worked out and he still could hardly believe it.
First there was the fact that she had kissed him first. Kate had taken control. It was glorious. She was glorious.
And then there was the discovery of just how good she had tasted…He'd never known, well never really thought about, just how good a woman's mouth could taste. Mmmmmmm and Kate, well Kate, tasted incredible. Before he'd just gone in for the kill but this felt so different. He actually wanted to savor the moment. He wanted to come up with a hundred flowery words to describe how Kate's skin smelled and to take the time to figure out if she tasted like vanilla or cherry or something else altogether.
God, she was a woman who would test his control, he thought, remembering how he'd finally had to pull his mouth away from hers. He hadn't been kidding that he wanted to take it slow.
No one would ever believe it. Oh Kate might in time but he didn't want to scare her off just yet. Who would have thought that she would be the one to bring out his romantic side. He wished he'd paid more attention in that college poetry class now.
Amazing.
So where to take her?
Tony pulled himself up out of his chair, leaned over to whisper to Kate, looked left, looked right, when…
THWACK!
Gibbs smacked him on the back of the head.
"Grab your gear, we've got a body."
"Ouch Boss! Could we not make that a habit?" Tony asked.
Gibbs stopped walking, turned back to Tony and narrowed his steel blue gaze.
Kate stifled the small smile that wanted to come out, not because she liked seeing Tony get thumped, because as of yesterday she most certainly did not but simply because she was glad that not everything had changed since last night. Still, it was a bit childish of Gibbs to take it out on Tony.
"What would you prefer Dinozzo?" Gibbs retorted, clearly not expecting an answer, since he had already started walking away.
Tony looked over at Kate, moving his lips mimicking Gibbs parting shot.
She grinned at him for a second but then put her finger up to her lips to tell him not to push it. They were already skating on thin ice with this whole dating thing.
Gibbs practically punched the elevator button.
"When you two are finished over there, maybe we could try and get to the body BEFORE it decays!" He bellowed.
Kate jumped up quickly grabbing her gear and motioned to Tony to do the same.
Tony scoffed, grabbing his bag. Always on a Friday. Did every dead body needing their attention have to show up at the start of what was suppose to be the weekend? If this messed up his date with Kate tonight...
"But Boss we're just getting started…" He hadn't meant to say that out loud.
Kate looked stunned, stopped in her tracks, like a rabbit in front of a moving car. Ok, maybe it would have been better if certain things had changed since last night…like Tony's big mouth, she thought.
Gibbs just turned his back to them, facing the elevator, muttering to himself too low for them to hear.
"That's what I was afraid of…"
