WARNING CHEESY CHAPTER


„So…" Tim started: „Tony and Ziva… how long do you think it will last?"

Abby turned to him very slowly. "Until the end of time." She said.

They where at Tim's place, enjoying a big pizza and a good talk.

"You are a loyal friend Abby. But… you know… I think they will be bored of each other very soon."

"Why do you think that?"

McGee took a deep breath: "I think their relationship is built on sex and, don't get me wrong, as good as it can be, it's not meant to build a relationship upon it." He stopped for a second: "And they are so different. Ziva hates his movie quotes. And she liked to read, I've never seen Tony with a book, except mine. And I believe as much as he is now attracted to the wild Ziva… he might have enough of her soon. I don't want that, I want them to be happy with each other. But right now, I think they jump at each other when they come home and afterwards they fall asleep with their backs facing each other."

Abby smiled: "I think you are wrong."

He was wrong. Tony and Ziva had gone swimming after work. Ziva loved it for a work out and Tony… well he loved watching her. He also joined her on her jogging rounds in the morning. He had to admit that he got fitter every day. Which was good to keep up with an over ten years younger girlfriend.

After that they had left the swimming hall they stopped for Chinese food and when they got home they trained to play the piano tighter. Unfortunately they both were completely out of practice and Tony's neighbor didn't take long to complain about the noise.

In the evening they were in bed, cuddling each other closely and listening to an audiobook. It was a great way to spend the time. Of course, Ziva liked to watch a movie once in a while and Tony was okay with her reading a book when the movie was not her kind of taste, but this was perfect.

They only needed to concentrate on the voice. Tony was glad that he did not have to take off his eyes of the woman in his arms to catch up with the plot, even though he sometimes got so lost in her eyes that they had to listen to the same CD many times. Ziva was happy because she could cuddle Tony instead of holding the book in her hands.

In contrast to McGee's expectations, Tony and Ziva were convinced that this could work, that they would work.
