Okay wow. I'm so sorry for not updating sooner. My English Teacher has me up to my neck in speeches, propaganda reports, and poems. -sigh- I've been working on this piece by piece. I hate not updating for so long though. So here it is! Finally.
But before you read! I'd like to thank all of you who read this story. :DD
Enjoy.
"Why didn't you tell me Abbs?"
Abby sighed, she was standing in the elevator with Gibbs. She knew that he was going to ask her. He had followed her into the elevator. She knew that she couldn't lie to him, he already knew the truth and if she told him to drop it, it would only make him more persistent.
"Because you loved her." Gibbs didn't say anything, but waited for her to explain. "You were so happy with her Gibbs. Even if she didn't like me, she made you happy, which I was okay with. I didn't let her bother me. In fact I ignored most of the things she said. Like when she threatened me at your house-" Abby stopped short, realizing that she shouldn't have told Gibbs that.
"She what?" Gibbs couldn't believe what he was hearing. Hollis had threatened Abby not once, but twice! And that was weeks ago. How could he have missed it?
"Nothing."
"Abby." Gibbs growled.
"Well she really didn't threaten me."
"Abbs!" Gibbs barked. Abby jumped. Gibbs hardly never raised his voice at her. Sure, he would to get her attention, but this was different. She knew she had to explain, or test his patients even more. "She told me that she didn't like me hanging all over you and didn't like the fact that I was staying at your house..." That explained why Abby had kept her distance from him for the past few weeks.
Gibbs pulled Abby into a hug. He knew that not only did Hollis' words hurt her, but she also felt guilty for Gibbs ending it with Hollis. Abby wrapped her arms around Gibbs. She buried her face in his chest and cried. Gibbs simply held her tighter and rubbed soothing circles on her back.
After a few minutes, Abby's sobs quieted. She pulled back and smiled at Gibbs. He kissed the top of her head, "That's my girl."
He flipped the switch to the elevator and it began it's decent to Abby's floor. When the elevator stopped, she stepped out. She held up hand and signed I love you to him. Gibbs smirked and signed it back just before the doors closed.
With one problem taken care of, Gibbs strode to the Director's office.
"Jethro, what can I do for you?" Jenny asked. She was surprised to see him, usually he only stormed in like that when something was wrong, or something didn't go his way.
"I have something to ask you." Gibbs stared at her. Leroy Jethro Gibbs was nervous, even though he didn't seem it. Jenny was one of the few people who could tell though. He walked a little stiffer and talked a little softer, but you would never notice that unless you really knew him. She waited for him to ask his question before she said anything though. "I was wondering if you were doing something tonight?"
Jenny couldn't hide the shock from appearing on her face. She had been waiting for this moment for almost a year her composure, she replied "I've got nothing planned."
"Well. Would you like to go out to dinner tonight? I know this great little diner." He said. Jenny immediately knew which one he was talking about. He had said the same thing to her on the day he asked her to be his wife.
"I'd love to Jethro." Jenny gave him a supporting smile.
"I'll see you at eight then." Gibbs turned and walked out of the office.
"Come on McChicken. Just do it!" Tony taunted. He knew eventually he would get him to agree to it.
"Back off Tony. I'm not doing it." McGee growled.
"But why not? I do not understand your reasoning McGee. After all, we are done for the day. It is eight o'clock." Ziva argued.
"Just. Because. Drop it." Tony smirked and winked a Ziva.
"Okay okay." Once the door to the elevator opened, Tony pushed McGee into Abby's Lab. "Abbs! McGee has something to tell you!"
Abby looked up from her computer and smiled at her three musketeers. "What'cha need Tim?"
McGee smiled nervously, "Uh..." McGee wanted to crawl in a hole and live out the rest of his life alone. He should have never told Tony how he felt about Abby, or for the fact that he wanted to ask her out. Taking a deep breath, he decided to get it over with. "?"
Tony smacked his forehead, of course McGee wouldn't be able to do this right. Abby on the other hand smiled, "Of course Timmy! I'd love to go!" McGee grinned and exteneded his arm to her. Abby looped her arm in his and they left the lab.
"Wow."
"Wow what Tony?" Ziva questioned.
"Abby speaks McGee." Ziva gave him a questioning look. She spoke five languages and knew of most of the others and she had never heard of a language named after McGee. " But, McGee is not a language Tony. He is a person?"
"I know that." Tony muttered as he left the lab. Tony's reasoning only confused Ziva even more.
"But then why did you say that she speaks McGee?"
"It's a figure of speech Zee-vah." Tony sighed as he stepped into the elevator. Ziva followed after him, cursing about the English language. Tony smirked, he loved it when she did that.
~The End~
