CHAPTER 11: QUESTIONS...
After a few hours of bowling...Nell and Kensi beat Marty and Eric, only because Kensi was able to get the first strike.
KENSI'S SRX...
"I hope Nell or Eric got a shot of what happened when your bowling ball landed in the gutter of my lane." Kensi said with a smile. "You're not going to let that go are you?" Marty asked and she glanced at him with a smile.
"Nope, because I know you would let it go." Kensi shot back and Marty threw his head back against the seat and looked over at her with a grin.
"Fine, let's see we've had breakfast today, went to the beach and bowling. So what's next, Fern?" Marty inquired. "You will find out when we get there." Kensi informed him.
"Why are you being so secretive today?" Marty questioned and Kensi grinned at him.
"Because I can, I could be mean and tell you to close your eyes." Kensi shot back. "But you're not going to...right?" Marty asked. "Keeping asking me questions and I will." Kensi warned.
"I've been having fun today and I have a question, but if I ask...you said you would make me close my eyes. So I guess I can wait until we get where we're going..." Marty told her with a smirk, because he knew it wouldn't be long before Kensi's curiosity got the better of her.
Kensi didn't say a word as she watched the road and bit her lip, she wanted to know what his question was, but at the same time...she knew he was challenging her.
"...Kensalina?" Marty asked in a sing song voice still grinning and trying to get her to glance at him. "What?" Kensi asked.
"Ah, I thought you would never ask. So we've had two dates, right? What are we now?" Marty asked in a serious voice and Kensi looked at him, swerving before returning her eyes to the road.
"What are you talking about?" Kensi asked. "Are we a couple now or what?" Marty asked.
"What did you just say?" Kensi asked, knowing what she had heard, but wanting to make sure she had heard right.
"We've been on two dates and we've told each other
'I love you'
...so what does that make us?" Marty inquired with uncertainty in his voice.
Kensi went quiet as she thought about her answer.
"How about we talk about this when we get back to your apartment? I don't think it would be a good conversation to have while the car is moving." Kensi said at last. "So we're going back to my apartment, huh?" Marty asked.
"Okay, where is a blindfold and duck-tape?" Kensi muttered. "Oh, I like where this thought is going? Getting some ideas for some more fun times together?" Marty joked.
"Oh my, God, I was talking about duck-tape to shut you up!" Kensi exclaimed feeling the blush creeping into her face. "Oh, so you wouldn't use duck-tape to tie me to the bed and have your way with me? Is that a blush I see on the face of, Kensi Marie Blye?" Marty teased.
Kensi was ready to hit him, until she remembered what they had started to talk about on the way to the bowling alley.
FLASHBACK *
"What is with you and abusing me? Does it turn you on or something?" Marty asked with his eyes closed. "No and you never try to stop me, so do you enjoy it?" Kensi shot back, but didn't see the dark look cross Marty's face.
"No and the reason I don't try to stop you is I don't want to be like my dad." Marty confessed and this time Kensi glanced over at him. "Marty, I'm so..." Kensi began, but Marty felt around for her hand and took it in his with his eyes still closed. "It's okay, Kens." Marty tried to assure her.
"Dammit, Marty, it's not okay and I thought we were trying to talk to each other now. Don't lie to me and say its okay when I know it's not." Kensi said pulling into a parking space and shutting off the car.
0900 HOURS...
THE PARKING LOT...
AMF EL DORADO LANES...
"Okay, so it hurt a little when you said that. Are we there yet? How long do I have to keep my eyes closed?" Marty asked. "Yes, we're here, but you have to keep your eyes closed until I say it's okay to open them. I want you to use you Detective skills to figure out where we are before you open your eyes." Kensi told him with a smile as she let go of his hand and got out of the car, as she came to the passenger side Marty was already getting out of the car, at the same time that Nell pulled up.
* END FLASHBACK
It was a conversation she wanted to continue with him.
"Shut up, Deeks..." Kensi replied staying focused as she turned into the parking lot of Marty's apartment building.
She pulled into a parking place and shut off the car, before opening the car door.
"...You showed up at my house at 7 AM, which means that Monty has been locked in your apartment for a while and probably needs to go out. Then we can continue our conversation." Kensi told him. "Okay...the conversation about the question I asked you on the way here?" Marty asked to clarify they were talking about the same thing.
"Yes, now let's go." Kensi said as she started to get out of the car. "Are you going to walk Monty with me or wait here until I get back?" Marty asked. "I'll wait here if that's okay." Kensi said as they headed up to Marty's apartment.
"That's cool, if you want to order take out...I'll pay for it when I get back." Marty said as he unlocked the door and opened it, letting Kensi enter the apartment first.
INSIDE MARTY'S APARTMENT...
"What do you feel like eating?" Kensi asked. "I don't care...you choose. Come on, Monty, let's go for a walk." Marty called and it was not long after he left closing the door behind him.
KENSI...
Kensi thought about Marty had said on the way here as she looked through the take out menus trying to decide...
FLASHBACK *
"We've been on two dates and we've told each other
'I love you'
...so what does that make us?" *
END FLASHBACK
Marty had seemed so unsure when he asked her what they were.
'What the hell had he been talking about on the way here? They had both said 'I love you'?'
She racked her brain trying to think of when she could have said those words to Marty, but she had never actually said the words 'I love you.'
Maybe he just assumed, but if he had...he was right.
She was in love with him she had wanted to talk about their 'thing' before but then thought of what could happen if they actually started dating.
Things were different now though, because today had been their second date...Marty Deeks had actually broken her first date rule, at this thought Kensi smiled.
MARTY...
Marty grinned as he walked Monty...he and Kensi were finally getting ready to talk about their 'thing' and where they stood.
He was ready for this talk, yet at the same time...nervous as could be.
15 MINUTES LATER...
INSIDE MARTY'S APARTMENT...
Kensi was sitting on the couch lost in her thoughts and didn't seem to notice Marty and Monty's return.
