*Date Begins*
Tony's hand rested on top of Ziva's, and he was content driving, headed towards Cumberland. He looked over and noticed that Ziva was peacefully asleep so he slowly moved his hand so he didn't wake her. She just turned her head slightly and went back to sleep. He was glad that she was finally getting some rest since she has been having a tough time with the whole situation with Joshua being killed. He drove for about another hour and parked at a parking meter.
Tony gently shook Ziva so he didn't startle her. Ziva slowly awoke and realized they had finally reached their destination. She smiled up at Tony, and was glad that she had such an amazing guy in her life. How could she get this lucky?
"You ready Ziva? I think you'll love what I have planned." He smiled at her sweetly.
"Of course. Where are we going?" She asked curiously.
"Oh you'll have to wait and see." He responded with a mischievous look on his face. He took out a blindfold and put it over her eyes.
"I hope we aren't walking far because you know how I am with blindfolds. I don't trust easily enough to put on a blindfold." She said warily.
"Just trust me like you always do. You trust me when we work together on certain mission's right?" He asked.
"Yes bu-" She was cut off.
"No buts Ziva. You'll be ok." He reassured her so she would calm down.
"Ok. Fine. But if I trip or get hurt or something, I'm blaming you." She replied.
"Alright. Sounds fine with me, sweet cheeks." He replied, smirking.
As they walked, Ziva felt at ease knowing Tony was with her, and that he wouldn't allow anyone or anything hurt her. She slightly leaned into his arms while he was guiding her and felt the warmth of his skin.
"I'm liking this date already." She said, smiling.
Ziva looked around and saw all the little antique shops, and the touristy shops and got excited. Tony somehow figured out that she loved small towns and that she enjoyed looking at what all of the small towns she visited had to offer. She smiled, knowing that a man like Tony would have probably never gone to this length to be with her unless he truly cared for her.
It made Ziva wonder though, how did he know that she liked small towns?
"Because I saw all of the pictures you had in your living room of small towns that you've been to." He answered, as if he read her mind.
"How did you kn-" She was cut off.
"You said it out loud." He said with a cheeky grin.
"Tony, you're something else, I'll tell you that." She chuckled.
Tony couldn't help but chuckle. "I've always been something else Ziva. But you know it's a wonderful thing." He grinned.
"Is there anything else we'll be doing today Tony?" She asked timidly.
"Follow me. You'll see what I mean in a few minutes, just come with me." Ziva followed Tony and soon enough, they were at a park.
As they walked in the park, Ziva saw a picnic basket sitting on a blanket. She gave a giant smile to Tony. He never stopped amazing her, even when she expected too much from him, he would go over the top with the gifts he would give to her.
"How did you know I love picnics?" She questioned.
"I know a lot of things. And, one day you pocket dialed me and I heard that you love picnics. I don't know who you were talking to. I think it may have been Abby or McDork (McGee)."
"Even when you aren't near him you still make fun of him." Ziva said.
"Of course. That's what I do. I wouldn't be me if I didn't make fun of McGee." He smirked.
"Tony one day he's gonna fight back you know that right?" Ziva said, trying to reason with him.
"McGeek will not fight back, I know that for sure." Tony said as if he was so sure of himself.
"Just you watch." Ziva stated.
They sat down and Tony pulled out some of Ziva's favorite foods from Israel that she hadn't had in ages. Ziva's eyes widened at the sight of all the foods that she loved that Tony had packed. How did he know all of this? Was she that obvious?
Then she realized, he must've spoken with her father before he was killed. But she couldn't prove it. Everyone she cared about was either killed or was on the other side of the world and hardly tried to talk to her at all. So, for now, she'll just enjoy what Tony did for her and enjoy being with him while they were off.
