As the two of them lay together in silence enjoying the warmth of one another's bodies in a tight embrace, there was a shuffling outside the curtain and an unfamiliar face appeared. Well it was unfamiliar to Kensi, but Deeks knew who this man was. He was the doctor who saved Kensi's life, the doctor who bought her back to him.
All though he didn't want to leave Kensi's arms, Deeks felt the need to shake the doctor's hand. "Dr Miller, thank you so much for… well saving Kensi's life I guess" he said a little embarrassed that he couldn't come up with something better to say.
"Well it's my job… but thank you. How are you feeling today Miss Blye? How's the pain?" Dr Miller asked with a friendly smile.
"I'm feeling a lot better today, thanks to you, still a little sore" Kensi smiled. "When can I go home?" she quickly added in. She'd had enough of being in hospital. Kensi definitely wasn't the kind of girl who could just sit around. Unless there were lots of donuts and several episodes of top model involved.
"First things first, I'm gonna need to take a look at that bullet wound and assess how well you're healing up and then we will discuss when you get to break out of here." Dr Miller told her. "Considering the amount of blood you lost don't count on getting out of here to soon" he told her regretfully.
Hearing the doctors words Kensi's heart sunk. She so badly wanted to get out of there.
As the doctor checked over her bullet wound, Deeks couldn't help but notice the look of disappointment in her eyes. It broke his heart, he knew how much Kensi loved her job, and how she must have hated being stuck in a hospital bed for five days now. He gripped her hand tightly giving her a reassuring smile.
"Well Miss Blye, your wound seems to be healing up great, there is no sign of infection. Just to be on the safe side I would like to keep you in for at least another five days" Dr Miller said, preparing himself for her reaction.
"Five days? Really? I've been in here five days already and I'm going crazy in here. I can't take another five days!" Kensi cried out.
"I know it sounds like a long time, I'll tell you what… How about I come back in two days and we will assess how you're doing and if… IF I am satisfied with your recovery, I might discharge you early. BUT you will have to take it easy, Mr Deeks, you will have to make sure of that" Dr Miller told them both, sounding a lot like Hetty.
"Count on it Doc" Deeks replied with a smile.
"Alright then, I will see you two on Monday morning" the Dr said as he slipped through the curtain.
Kensi let out a big sigh, she hated being stuck in here, and now knowing she wasn't going to get to go home anytime soon she felt slightly depressed. "Hey Kens, it'll be ok. We will take it easy for the next couple days get you healing up nicely, and then hopefully we can bust you out early" Deeks said as he gave her a huge grin, trying to make her feel better. Then he remembered the surprise he had bought back with him.
"Kensi… close your eyes" Deeks whispered with excitement in his voice.
"Whyyyy? What are you going to do?"
"Do you trust me? It's nothing bad… c'mon please…" Deeks pleaded.
Kensi finally gave in and closed those beautiful mis-matched eyes that Deeks loved so much. When she felt Deeks crawl up onto the bed with her she was a little worried that he was playing some kind of joke on her, but she needed to trust him. She felt him close to her face, she could feel the warmth of his breath on her skin. "Okay… open" he whispered.
She opened her eyes to the sight of Deeks face close to hers, a huge goofy yet very cute smile on his face, and a chocolate bar held out in the palm of his hand.
"I love you" Kensi whispered softly.
"You talking to me… or the chocolate bar" Deeks joked.
"The chocolate of course!... Kidding! I love you Marty" she laughed.
"I love you too Princess" he smiled.
As he sat by her side he watched her devour the chocolate bar in a matter of seconds. Even when she was stuffing her face she was just so damn cute. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Kensi, even if it meant spending the next few months, even years breaking down those walls that she tried to hide herself behind. If anyone could ever do that, it was going to be him.
When the nurse brought Kensi her dinner, Deeks decided he better head to the cafeteria and get himself some food, even though he didn't want to leave Kensi's side. He had to make sure that he was at the top of his game, after all he was going to be looking after her for the next few weeks, whether she liked it or not.
Deeks ate as quickly as he could and hurried back to be with Kensi. As he made his way through the seemingly never ending curtain he was greeted by a very happy Kensi Blye.
"Deeks!" she exclaimed. "Look I have jello" she said as she flashed a big grin.
"I can see that" he said as he returned a smile.
She pat the space on the bed beside her, "Come share it with me?" she asked, which almost sounded more like a demand. Deeks was more than happy to oblige.
When they had finished the jello, they snuggled down together, Kensi wrapping herself around Deeks resting her head in the crook of his neck. The warmth of her breath on his collar bone making him shiver a little. Cuddling together like this had become so natural for the two of them, like it was always meant to be this way…
Hope you all enjoy the chapter. Please review! P.S Hope you like the jello bit (for thos who remember the jello scene from Personal). Btw that was not easy to write coz us New Zealanders call it Jelly, not Jello lol.
