. I know milk does a body good but how much have you been drinking?

Deeks opens his eyes after waking up with his very annoying alarm clock. He usually doesn't get up this early but there's that thing about changing his routines that he follows now. He doesn't get up at the same time more than two days in a row. He never runs through the same pats more than two days in a row. It's tiring and it takes a lot of planning but it's worth it because he doesn't want to end up in a hospital bed with two bullet holes in him anytime soon. Better yet, he doesn't want to put his team in danger because of his predictable routines. So, Marty Deeks gets up at 5 in the morning and drags himself to the bathroom. Fern doesn't show up and he's guessing that she's probably asleep at this hour. He can't blame her.

After a refreshing shower, Deeks walks to the kitchen and grabs an apple. Fern is on the couch, looking at him. He can tell that she just woke up and has no intentions of leaving her comfortable bed. Deeks smiles and shakes his head. He grabs a bit of bread and gives it to her, patting her head while she chews happily.

"Be a good girl today and I'll see if I can convince Kensi to come over tonight, okay?" He knows that it's crazy but he can almost swear that she understands every word he says and that she looks almost happy with the thought of seeing Kensi. Deeks grabs his keys and leaves the house. He drives to the beach and parks on the parking lot. He takes his surfboard out of the car and enjoys the quietness of the beach at that hour. There are no tourists around. In fact, there are only a couple of people there and they don't seem to pay any attention to him. That's exactly how he likes it. While getting ready to start his morning, Deeks thinks about the events of the previous day and about ways to make things right with Kensi.

He can't deny his feelings for her and he knows that she's well aware of them. However, it seems like the wrong move can throw him back to the starting line in a matter of seconds. Well, that kiss with another woman hadn't been exactly a smart move but he really thought it would make her see and admit her feelings for him. The rest of the day had been awful to him. Just knowing that she wouldn't even look at him made him sick. That's probably why he actually got a little bit happy with the opportunity of driving her home after her awful fight with Callen, her closest friend. Sure, things weren't okay but at least she looked at him and allowed him to do that for her. That was definitely a good thing. Today, though, he needs to talk to her and try to explain her why he did what he did the day before. He needs her to know that the only woman he can think about is her. He needs her to know that there's no one else he'd rather be with, even though they are not even together yet.

Deeks finally starts surfing, trying to block all the thoughts outside and focus on the task at hand. He stays on the sea for a few hours and when he finally decided to leave he looks at the time and smiles. He still has over one hour before he has to go pick up Kensi to her house. Deeks puts the surfboard back on the car and starts driving. She'll learn the true definition of unpredictable.

When he parks outside her house only twenty minutes later Deeks knows that this can end either very well or very badly. He's hoping that they will be able to solve things between them before they have to go to work but, when it comes to Kensi, things tend to end in a way no one plans. He gets out of the car and walks to her front door. He knocks on her door and waits just a few minutes before she opens the door.

"Good morning, sunshine!" He can tell that she just woke up and that's all part of his plan. She opens the door wider to let him in with an annoyed look on her face. He can tell that she's about to either yell at him or punch him but he shows her a box and her mood improves immediately.

"You brought donuts?" Deeks nods amused with this sudden change of his partner's mood…and all because of donuts. Kensi closes the door behind him and reaches for the box but Deeks stops her. She looks at him confused and Deeks realizes then and there that maybe things aren't that messed up between them.

"You can have your donuts after you shower. I know I'll have to wait forever if you start eating before you start getting ready. They'll be here, waiting for you until you're showered." Kensi rolls her eyes but doesn't argue with him. She goes to the bathroom to take a shower and Deeks starts making them coffee. It comes as a bit of a surprise for him but he can already locate every single thing he needs on her kitchen, even though he's only been there 5 times before. A few minutes later he hears the door of the bedroom opening and is expecting her to go to her bedroom to put some clothes on. However when he turns around his eyes almost pop out of his skull.

Kensi Blye is standing there, a donut on one hand and her hand extended, waiting for him to hand her the coffee. It's a good thing that she seems focused on the newspaper on the table and not on him because Deeks is almost sure that he is blushing. He hands her the coffee without a word but when she goes to get some milk out of the fridge he is sure that this is going to be the death of him. Kensi is wearing nothing but a fluffy white towel around her body. Her hair is still wet and he's guessing that she only dried it with a towel. The worst part is that the damn towel doesn't even provide much of a view-blocker. It only reaches mid-thigh and leaves him imagining the rest of her body, the one that it actually hides. He doesn't know if she's doing this on purpose, to torture him, or if she's doing it innocently. Somehow, he knows she is doing this to torture him. Kensi Blye is not the innocent type of girl. That's probably why he can't stop the words that leave his mouth.

"I know milk does a body good but how much have you been drinking?" Kensi turns back to him with a small smile on her face but that's not exactly the part of her body he's paying attention to. He is aware that he's openly staring at her body but Kensi doesn't seem to mind. Instead, she walks closer to him (so close that it wouldn't take much of an effort to connect his lips with hers) and whispers in his ear, making him tremble slightly.

"Consider this as payback for the little stunt you pulled yesterday. Try to make me jealous again and I can assure you that this is as close as you're ever going to get to seeing me naked. Are we clear, Deeks?" He just nods, unable to form a coherent sentence. She laughs and kisses his cheek just to tease him a little bit more before turning and walking to her bedroom to put some clothes on. Deeks allow himself to smile softly when she does, knowing that things are not as bad as he thought. Then his smile drops when another thought takes over his brain. Somehow, he knows that this revenge is just starting. Oh boy…
