A fun little chapter inspired by DefinedGravity's idea! Hehe. If you have any ideas, it is more than welcomed.

Autumn Dance

Beep! Beep! Beep! The constant ring of the alarm sounded in my ear, I reached over and slapped around the table in hope of hitting the stop button. Instead I pushed the mug accidentally onto the floor and shattered it to pieces.

"Ugghhh!" I groaned as I got up and cleaned up the mess, Today isn't starting off great. After carefully disposing the glass on the carpet in the bin, I entered the bathroom to freshen up for a hopefully relaxed Saturday. I washed my face and wiped it with the towel. My eyes fell upon my unfit body.

"I should work out," I said to myself as I went to my wardrobe and slipped on a pair of shorts and a hoodie. I munched on an apple as I cleaned up and got ready for my run. I left my apartment and crossed the street onto the route I rarely ran.

I ran past the shops as the amazing aromas of bread, eggs, bacon and freshly grounded coffee beans filled my nostrils. Nearly made me ditch the run and instead settle for a delicious omelet with a cup of cappuccino. I refocused my mind and headed towards the park entrance.

As I ran through the park my eyes automatically fell on a familiar petite, slender body; Ziva. A smirk appeared on my face as I constructed a fabulous plan.

I crept up towards her slowly, I frowned, she still hadn't had an idea that I was following her; her ninja skills must've been a little rusty. I quietly closed the distance and lifted her off the ground for a slight second. She screamed at first; more like a squeal, then as she recognized me her scream turned into a growl, "TONY!" I placed her down and sped ahead; which didn't last very long.

I heard her scream my name again as she started to chase me, rather quickly closing the distance between us with a few seconds. I bent down and picked up a bunch of leaves and threw it behind me in hope of slowing her down. I looked behind me to see the leaves gliding back down to Earth; no Ziva.

"Ziva?"

"Boo!" she poked me from behind I fell to the floor startled then chuckled as she stood over me and laughed.

"You run like a girl," she teased.

"As long as it's beautiful," I grinned at her as she offered a hand. I took it and as she pulled me up with all her might she misplaced her foot and lost her footing. I caught her just before she hit the ground. My hand positioned on the small of her back and around her waist, as her hands found its way around my neck; holding onto me like a life line. Our eyes were locked onto each others; hers chocolate brown eyes were filled with surprise and embarrassment.

"Why do we always end up in this position? And how?" I chuckled, breaking the growing awkward silence; her fragile little frame comfortably wrapped in my embrace.

"You can help me up now," she hinted, and I did as I was told and pulled her to her feet.

"Let's go have lunch, I'm starving!" I started jogging on the footpath towards the row of shops, "catch me if you can!"

"Is food all you can think about?" She chuckled, shook her head in disbelief and ran towards me.

I stopped waiting for her to catch up; I watched as the leaves of autumn cascaded slowly down to the ground like rain as Ziva made her way to me.

A smiling vision.
