Hey. :) So, this quote is really cute. I really like it.

My computer has decided to be stupid. It's having a delay on my typing. :( I really hate typing this slow. Grr.

Anyway, there are only about three more quotes I am going to use. Then this is over. Unless any guy's on this site want to drop me something your girlfriend, signficant other does.

Dedication: This chapter is dedicated to OutCold, for having a reallly good Tiva idea, and letting me think of some ideas. I can't wait to read it girl!

I absolutely love that any time she wakes up in the middle of the night she gives me a kiss on the cheek, like she's super psyched to see my lying next to her.
-Brian Dean, 25, Providence R.I

I always slept through the night, so I had no clue. I didn't know. But, one night when I couldn't sleep, I was almost surprised when I felt a kiss planted on my cheek. Then she moved back into my arms, laid her head on my chest, and settled back in for sleep. I couldn't help but smile in my sleep haze, and pull her closer to me. I don't think she knew I was awake, because she chuckled slightly and said something in Hebrew.

When I would go to bed before her, I would fake I was asleep. I'd say good night, and crawl into bed. About an hour later, she'd walk in and get into her pajamas. As soon as she curled up under the blankets, she'd kiss my cheek gently, move my arms so she could lie in my embrace, and fall asleep. If I did fall asleep before she got into bed, I'd wake up to her head on my chest and my arms around her shoulders. One time I woke up with her hair in my nose, and I had to stop myself from sneezing. I smiled to myself as she moved in her sleep, her hand pulling her hair away from my nose.

Like she just knew I was going to sneeze.

Nonetheless, I loved getting a small kiss on the cheek when she thought I was asleep. She rarely showed her affection like that in public, and I was lucky to hold her hand without a glare. But, I guess when I was asleep it was easier for her. To just be herself and to do what she wanted.

She walked out of the bathroom, and her feet padded across the floor. I looked at her discreetly, and I saw that her hair was braided at the bottom of her head. She let her towel drop, and she pulled on her pajamas. I smirked to myself as she crawled into the bed without a shirt on. I could feel the bed next to me dip as she rolled up next to my side. Her hand settled on my chest, and she pulled at the hairs there. I winced just a little, and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She settled into my arms, and bent her head up. She kissed my cheek softly before letting her head fall into the niche between my neck and shoulder.

"Good night Tony." She said quietly, and I tried not to freeze. I could feel her smiling into my neck, and I took a deep breath.

"Good night Ziva." I whispered, and she patted my chest.

"You are an awful actor." She whispered, and I smiled.

"You bought it." I whispered back, opening my eyes to look at her small body nestled against my side.

"After the tenth time, I knew." She said, and I laughed. I gently pulled on her hair, kissing the top of her head.

"So, why do you only kiss me on the cheek at night?" I asked, running my fingers through her curls. She shrugged.

"You look peaceful," She whispered, "And really nice when you are asleep."

I grinned smugly down at her, and shut my eyes.

"Right." I said, and she smacked my chest.

"You did." She said.

"Then why are you blushing?" I asked, feeling the heat on my neck. She buried her face deeper into my neck, and mumbled something quietly into the skin. I moved so I could see her face, and saw she was blushing deeply.

"What did you say sweet checks?" I asked, and she blushed some more. I reached up and touched her cheek, and smiled at the feeling of heat there.

"I said I like seeing you next to me." She whispered, and I smiled softly. I pulled her closer to me, kissing her gently. I looked into her eyes and felt myself smiling even wider.

"I love seeing you next to me too." I whispered, and she buried her face in my chest. I smiled, wrapping my arms around her and waiting until she fell asleep to let myself drift off.

The next morning, she walked out into the kitchen, following her nose to food. She walked up behind me where I sat, and leaned down. I thought she was going to whisper in my ear, until I felt her lips meet my cheek. I smiled at her as she walked over to the stove, and put two pancakes on her plate. She stopped next to me as she walked to the table, and bent down so she could whisper in my ear.

"I love you."

I personally like this a lot. Not as much as Thunder though. But, that is just me.

Oo, chicken bake is done. Gunna go eat it.
