Chapter 11

Thanks for the awesome reviews on my last chapter! So glad you like the story so far. Hope you enjoy this latest chapter

The team spent the day working on their current case, it got to 6.30pm when they all re-entered the mission

."I don't know about you guys, but I could use a drink" said Callen

"I could go for a beer and some food." Said Deeks

"Me too" Said Kensi

"Sam? You up for some food and a beer?"

"Sure why not. Someone has to keep you guys out of trouble." He said with a smile.

Eric and Nell came down the stairs.

"Hey! Wonder twins, we're all going out for a bite to eat and drink. Are you in?" Asked Deeks

"Sure, why not" Replies Nell

"Sure' chimed in Eric.

30 minutes later they had arrived at their local bar and had ordered their food and we're one drink in each when Callen looked at Kensi. "Who's up for another round?" They all nodded in agreement.

Callen got up to head to the bar, when Kensi got up to follow. "I'll help."

Kensi joined Callen at the bar as he ordered another round. "You want tell them don't you." She said

Callen turned to Kensi. "I know you freaked out when Sam found out about the two of us. I know you weren't ready for him to know, but Sam knows Deeks knows, Hetty knows. It's only fair that Eric and Nell are looped in and besides these guys are my family you know, we keep enough secrets as it is I really don't want to keep this one as well.

"Alright."

"Alright? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, it's time they knew." Said Kensi as she picked up the drinks and headed back to the table.

Callen followed and sat down next to her. He grabbed her hand under the table.

"Guys" Said Callen as they all looked towards Callen and Kensi. "Kensi and I have are dating, we're in a relationship."

"Congrats guys!" Said Eric.

Nell got up and walked around to Kensi and Callen and hugged them both. Congrats guys."

Sam and Deeks sat not saying anything, just smiling

"Why do I get the feeling that you and Deeks already knew." Said Nell

Sam didn't say anything, he just responded with a smile.

Suddenly Deeks rose his glass. "A toast to Kensi and Callen. Good luck Callen, you're gonna need it. She's a handful. Believe me I know!" He said with that cheeky smile that everyone knows and loves

"Deeks!" she said as she punched him in the arm.

"Ouch, okay that hurt." He said

Callen chuckled. "I've already been forewarned Deeks." He said as he looked at Kensi with a smile.

"Well alright." He said as he continued his toast. "As I was saying, congrats guys." He said with an almost forced smile as he rose his glass and motioned for everyone to do the same. They all clinked their glasses and wished them congrats.

"Who's up for another round?" "This rounds on me?" Said Nell

Everyone started talking all at once. "Sure, yeah, sounds good." Were all coming from different directions all at once.

"Alright, I'll be back in sec. Hey Kens, can you come and give me a hand with the drinks."

"Sure" she said and she got up and followed Nell to the bar.

"So…"

"So?" Kensi replied, apparently confused by the question.

"So, how long has that been going on?"

Realising what Nell was talking about Kensi smiled. "You want to gossip?"

"No, no I want to have some girl talk and then live vicariously through you, since my love life is non -existent."

Kensi laughed as the guys looked over at them.

"What do you suppose their talking about?"

"Probably gossiping about you." Said Deeks

Callen looked Deeks not saying a word."

"What! You know I'm right. Girls talk, alright. Trust me Kensi is up there right now telling Nell everything about what happened between the two of you. It's just what girls do."

Meanwhile at the bar Kensi and Nell were doing exactly as Deeks had predicted.

"So, let me get this straight, after we left the bar, you and Callen slept together and he told you he had feelings for you and you would talk about it later. I remember he was late that morning, because he slept in with you. Nice!"

Kensi rolled her eyes and nodded.

"And then then the case happened and you guys talked decided to give this a go and then Callen got shipped off to Russia, and you thought you lost him right? When you heard he was shot. Explains your reaction in OPS."

"Yeah, I thought I'd lost him before we have even started anything."

"And then what happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Kens, we've clearly got some blank space in between Callen's return from Russia to know and the boys already seemed to know so spill." Said Nell

Callen looked over at Kensi and Nell who were still talking at the bar. "I'd better go before the girl talk turns into an interrogation." Said Callen.

Sam and Deeks chuckled.

Callen walked over to the bar. "You know we are going to die of thirst if you girls don't hurry up with the drinks."

"Sorry G" Said Nell as she grabbed the drinks and headed back to the table.

Callen looked at Kensi. "I thought I'd better come and save you before girl talk turned into an interrogation." Said Callen with a smile.

"Hmmm, it was just innocent girl talk that all." She said with a smile as Callen pulled her in close.

"Hmmm, really?" he said

"Really" she said as Callen leant in and kissed her.

As Callen and Kensi broke the kiss they could hear cheers coming from their table from everyone except Deeks, who was just smiling.

They both laughed and headed back to the table.

An hour later they had finished up their food and were getting all heading out.

"Thanks for coming out tonight guys."

"Sure" said Nell and Eric at the same time.

Nell turned to Kensi. "Next time though how about we ditch the guys and we can have a girls night out."

Deeks piped up. "You mean a gossip session."

Nell shot Deeks one of those "If looks could kill looks", which shut Deeks up. They all chuckled.

'Night guys" Said Nell as she headed out.

"I'm out too guys" Said Eric

"Me too guys." Said Deeks as he left.

"I'd better get home before Michelle changes the locks on me." He said with a smile. He hugged Callen and Kensi. "Remember what I said." Said Sam as he finished hugging Kensi.

"I will Sam." She smiled.

"Oh, that goes for you too G."

"Got it Sam." He smiled as they hugged

Sam left leaving Kensi and Callen alone in the car park. "Back to your place?" he said.

Kensi didn't answer, just simply smiled, turned and walked towards her car.

Callen chuckled and ran off after her.

Meanwhile at Kensi's apartment

People were inside tossing the place, clearly looking for something. They took up positions both inside and outside her apartment, waiting for her to come home.
