As Ziva curled up in her seat in Tony's car, she thought of how much she enjoyed her day with Tony and how she just couldn't wait to see what he had planned next.
"You alright over there?" She heard Tony's voice.
"Oh. Yeah. I'm alright. I've just been thinking is all." She gave him a soft smile.
Tony pulled out a penny from his pants pocket after digging for a minute.
"A penny for your thoughts my beauty?" He said, handing her the penny.
"I've just been thinking about my father, and just everything that has occurred today and how much I've enjoyed spending my day with you." She said, looking down at her hands.
"What about your father? Something bad or good?" Tony questioned, hoping that she wasn't too sad about her dad.
"I was thinking about how you pulled out all of my favorite foods today during the picnic. I thought you maybe spoke to my father before he passed. Did you?" She asked quietly.
"I did. I asked him so I would know that I was doing everything right. He knew that I was going to ask you on a date and he wanted to make sure that it would be perfect so he told me your favorite foods and he told me everything you loved." He sent her a gentle smile.
Ziva sat there for a long time thinking. How did Tony know to go to her father? But, she's glad he did because if he hadn't, they wouldn't have had this perfect date. It made her realize that beyond his smartass exterior, he could be a real sweetheart. To her it was an amazing thing to see Tony like this, being sweet and full of love rather than just talk about movies and his love for Italian food.
As they got back to Ziva's house, she couldn't help but feel a bit sad that the date was ending all too soon. Tony got out as soon as he parked, went to Ziva's side of the car and opened up her door. He held his hand out to help her get out of the car. She smiled. He was such a gentleman.
He walked her up to her door and smiled down at her.
"I hope we can do this again soon. I had a great time." She said looking back up at him, with a genuine smile on her face, knowing that this was the end to a perfect day.
"Of course. Maybe next time, I can top this one. I fear I may have set the bar too high this time." He chuckled, giving her his signature smirk.
"I'm sure whatever you plan next will be just as wonderful." She said looking down at her feet, then back up at him.
She studied his face. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes. Just about as soon as that happened, as if by instinct, they both began to lean in. Just as their lips met, his arms slowly snaked around her waist. Her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck.
Yep, this day couldn't have gotten any better.
As they both pulled away, they both smiled.
"Well, it's getting late. We better get you inside so you can get some rest. We both have work in the morning." He said quietly, almost as if he didn't want to leave.
She turned and unlocked her door, turned back around, and gave Tony a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight Tony." She said, smiling.
"Goodnight Ziva. I'll see you in the morning." He said.
He watched her walk into her apartment, and after he knew that she was safely inside, he went back to his car and started it up.
All doors were locked, and he just sat there thinking about the next date he could be planning. But just as he was about to pull away, he saw a figure in Ziva's apartment window. He knew something was up. He gave Ziva a call and when she didn't pick up that's when he darted back into the apartment building to make sure his girl wasn't hurt.
