Finally have another Friday night for you all :) Hope you like!

'You better not have any plans for Friday night.' Deeks called out as he strolled into Kensi's place, searching for his partner. He came to a standstill realising she was nowhere to be found. Concern started to rise within him.

Ever since their first date and an enjoyable weekend spent together, the two partners had hardly had a moment to themselves. The NCIS LA team had been caught up in a gruelling operation which had lasted well over a week, finally coming to a closer earlier that Wednesday morning. They had spent most of the time running down leads and solving the case and any moments of down time was spent returning to their own homes to catch up on some much needed sleep. After spending the afternoon relaxing with Monty, Deeks had made his way to Kensi's with grand plans to make up for lost time. Upon letting himself into her place with the spare key she'd given him months ago (Kensi had shoved it into his hands after about the tenth time he'd picked her lock) he fully expected to find his girl sprawled out on the couch catching up on her trashy television shows.

He stood still, frowning as he tried to think of where she could be. As the room suddenly shut down into silence, a smile grew on Deeks face. Of course how had he not noticed the soft drone of water running? Kensi must have just finished in the shower. He made his way into her bedroom heading towards her ensuite.

'Kens.' He shouted as he made his way to the door. 'No need for your gun, it's just me, your gorgeous chunk of meat.'

He was met with silence until the door flung open causing him to jump back in surprise. She stood there wrapped in a lush towel, wet hair dripping down her back. It was a glorious sight, one he hadn't seen since their undercover mission as Justin and Mellissa. Only last time Kensi had been slightly horrified he'd caught her in such a manner. This time she just stood there a huge smirk on her face.

'Chunk of meat sounds about right.' She replied chuckling lightly making her way into the bedroom towards her closet.

'Uh, hey.' Deeks cleared his throat. 'You look, ah...'

Kensi gave him a pointed look, waiting to see how he would finish the sentence.

'Relaxed.'

She let out a laugh, he was good.

'And sexy as hell.' Deeks added, confidence returning.

Kensi shook her head. Only Deeks. 'So what are you doing here?' She asked as she went through her draws, pulling out some leggings and a baggy shirt.

'I have a proposition for you.' Deeks came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her stomach. His fingers traced light circles which Kensi could feel through the towel as he continued. 'And I haven't had a kiss in like a week!'

Kensi turned in his arms, a soft blush on her cheeks. 'If I give you a kiss will you let me get changed in peace?'

'If I must.' He offered a bashful smile.

As one hand held the towel around her, Kensi's other came up to graze the stubble on Deeks' cheek as she lent up, capturing his lips in a sweet, long lasting kiss.

The partners shared a smile when they finally broke apart. 'I missed that.' Kensi broke the silence in a joking manner. There was an honestly in her eyes however that made Deeks blossom with pride.

'Are you sure you want me to leave?' He asked, tone rusty as his fingers caressed her jaw bone.

She moved to give him a peck on the cheeks before stepping out of his embrace. 'Just let me get changed and then you can tell me about this proposition.'

'Sure you don't need any help?' Deeks asked cheekily as she pushed out him out the bedroom.

...

Kensi returned from her bedroom moments later, fully dressed, hair tied back in a loose plait to find Deeks wondering around the kitchen helping himself to some leftovers and a beer.

'So,' Kensi started as she flopped onto her couch, expecting Deeks to join her. 'What's this proposition you have?'

'Since we haven't spent any time together of late I thought Friday night maybe we could break your first date rule?' Deeks came to sit beside her, mouth full of food.

'I've seen you everyday Deeks.' Kensi smiled. 'But do continue. Where are we going?' She asked.

'Well,' He smirked. 'I don't mean to brag or anything but I'm pretty sure I've come up with a pretty bloody perfect date numero two for one Kensi Marie Blye. How does a monster truck rally sound?'

A broad smile spread across Kensi's face. 'How did you know I love Monster Truck Rallies?'

'Wait, you've been to them before?'

Kensi laughed. 'You know those times when Nell and I go to 'Zumba' or out clubbing or whatever it is you think we do?'

'No.' Deeks replied in mock horror. 'Are you kidding me?'

Kensi shook her head, laughing heartedly.

'My badass Blye I can understand.' Deeks arm went around her shoulders, pulling him towards her in a playful manner. 'But Nell? Really? Gosh she's a sly one.'

'Girls gotta have her secrets. Don't you dare tell the boys or she will kill me.'

'Don't worry princess, your secret is safe with me, in fact I'm honoured to be the only one that knows just how wild you two are.' Deeks sent her a wink.

Kensi rolled her eyes. 'So what time should I be ready for you Friday night?'

...

Friday morning was a quiet one for the team. Kensi had decided she would take a break from the paper work heading up to say g'day to Eric and Nell. Upon reaching Ops, Kensi realised only Nell was about.

'Hey.' Kensi made her presence known as she collapsed in the chair next to Nell.

'Hey.' Nell offered a smile as she turned her attention away from the computer. 'What's up?'

'Urgh just bored out of my brains. Thought I'd come say hey. Where's Eric?'

'I have no idea. I think Hetty dragged him somewhere. Actually I've been meaning to track you down anyway.'

'Oh, how come?' Kensi asked, wondering what it was Nell needed her for.

'I know it's late notice and all, but my friend Chris has a couple of spare seats for the Monster truck rally. Thought I'd see whether you wanted to come. All good if you have other plans.'

'Ah, thanks so much for the invite.' Kensi began to stutter as she came up with a reasonable excuse. 'I'm actually having dinner with a friend tonight.'

Nell picked up on the lie but decided to let it go. 'No worries. I'll let Chris know he can invite another friend.'

'Who is this Chris creature anyway?' Kensi asked with a cheeky grin.

'A friend!' Nell quickly replied in a scolding tone. 'Gosh he has a wife Kensi.' She laughed.

'Haha okay okay. I better get back down to the paperwork before Deeks starts making paper planes from it. Have a great time tonight.'

Walking down the stairs Kensi found Deeks approaching her.

'Where have you been slacker?' Deeks asked jokingly before Kensi grabbed him by the elbow dragging him into the armoury where they could be alone.

'Everything alright Kens?' Deeks asked, clearly confused by Kensi's actions.

Looking around to make sure they were alone Kensi explained how Nell had invited her to the rally. 'Nell invited me to the monster truck rally.'

'Oh.' Disappointment reached Deeks' eyes. 'That's okay. We can do something another night.'

'Deeks, you big fool. I didn't mean I was ditching you. I'm just saying Nell is going to be there, what if she see's us, you know, together?'

'So you'd still want to go with me?' Deeks asked still a little worried. Kensi just raised her eyebrows hoping he'd realise how ridiculous he was been. Finally a smile broke out on Deeks' face.

'We could go in disguise.' Deeks began cheekily. 'We could get you a wig and have you looking like Marilyn Monroe and...'

'Deeks.' Kensi cut him off with a punch to the shoulder.

'Oww Kensi!' He whined.

'I am not going on my second date dressed in bloody disguise. '

'Look, monster truck rallies are huge. I highly doubt we're going to run into Nell.' Deeks reassured her placing both his hands on her shoulders.

'Yeah I guess you're right.' Kensi agreed. Quickly after taking a glance around to ensure nobody was about, she lent up offering a quick peck to Deeks' lips.

Deeks jumped back in surprise. 'Uh what was that for?' He asked, shock lacing his voice.

'Do I need a reason to kiss you?'

'Um no, it's just we're at work and...'

'There's nobody around is there?'

'No, but...never mind.' Deeks wasn't stupid, he knew there were surveillance cameras all over the place, but he thought it best not to mention this to Kensi in fear of scaring her off. Obviously this fact had been completely forgotten by her. All he could do was hope nobody was watching.

'We should probably get back to the paperwork.' Deeks suggested, offering her shoulder a gentle, reassuring squeeze before heading out of the armoury.

Meanwhile up in Ops, Nell had switched her computer screen to the surveillance tapes hoping to find where Callen and Sam were so she could past on some important information. Instead something else caught her eye. Shocked, her mouth dropped open as she pointed to the screen. 'Eric did you just see that?'

'Huh. What?' Eric asked rolling his chair towards her to get a look. Nell regaining composure realised it was not her place to be sharing what she'd seen, even if it was just Eric.

'Uh, nothing.' She quickly replied. Eric gave her a funny look. 'Deeks just fully stacked it; it was amusing that's all.' Nell quickly amended hoping this lie sounded more convincing.

Eric let her off with the shrug of her shoulders.

...

Drinks in hand the two partners were thoroughly enjoying their second date. Kensi really did love the action and excitement this kind of event bought. She was really in her element and her excitement was contagious. Deeks was having a ball. As the evening came to a close, the two pair made their way out to Deeks' car. Both had completely forgotten about the possibility of running into the intelligence analysis until a familiar voice sounded behind them.

'Kensi?'

Both Deeks and Kensi froze. Nell would have to be a complete fool to not notice what was going on between the pair. Deeks had his arm wrapped tightly around Kensi's waist, Kensi's own hand holding his in place. After a moment of stillness while they got over the shock, the partners quickly separated, spinning around to face Nell, standing as far apart as possible.

'Hey Nell. How's it going? What are you doing here? Who's this?' Deeks began to babble in embarrassment.

Nell looked between the agent and detective before bursting out in laughter. 'You guys are ridiculous. You don't have to hide this,' she pointed between them. 'From me. Oh and this is my friend Chris.'

Kensi and Deeks shared a look of horror. 'What, hide what? What are you on about Nell?'

'I'll ah catch you later yeah?' Chris turned Nell deciding it was best to leave, noting the tension in the air.

'No worries Chris. Thanks for the awesome night. Say hi to Josie for me.'

With Chris gone Nell turned back to the partners. 'I saw you two in the armoury today.' Nell began, slightly embarrassed. 'You don't have to hide this from me. I'm happy for you. It was only a matter of time anyway.'

'I'm sorry what?' Kensi spluttered. 'A matter of time before what?'

'Kens.' Deeks took a step towards her, realising they'd been made and there was no point hiding it. 'She knows.' With that said, Deeks threw his arm around her shoulder, smiling sweetly down at her before looking back at Nell.

'It's alright Kens, I'm not going to tell anyone.'

Kensi sighed, Deeks was right, no point denying it. 'Thanks Nell. We just want to keep this to ourselves for a while. I mean we will tell everyone eventually.'

'Hey I got your back guys. I'm great at keeping secrets.'

Deeks frowned slightly, wondering what other things Nell knew that they didn't before giving her a cheeky grin.

'So you into your monster trucks Nell?'

Nell blushed furiously.

'Don't worry Nell, your secrets safe with me.'

'Haha, right, thanks Deeks.' Nell offered a relieved smile as silence filled the air. 'Anyway I should let you two go. You up to anything tomorrow night Kens? I think a girl's night is in order.'

'Um nope. That sounds good.'

'What? I'm not invited?' Deeks cut in using his puppy dog eyes to full effect. 'That is so unfair.'

'Don't worry Deeks. I'll only steal her for a couple of hours. Catch you guys later.'

'Bye Nell.' The partners replied simultaneously.

...

A little while later the partners were greeted by Monty as they made their way into Deeks' place.

'So,' Deeks began as Kensi dropped her purse onto his coffee table before making her way into the bedroom. 'Girls night tomorrow huh?'

'You jealous Deeks?' Kensi asked eyebrows raised as she turned and made her way back towards him.

'Not at all.' Deeks replied taking one last step to close the gap between them, arms wrapping around her waist. 'Unless it's a zumba class, in which case I'm very jealous.'

'You could always come with us.' Kensi continued in a sickly sweet tone as her hand came to rest on his ass. 'You'd look great in a pair of tight leggings.' That said she gave his butt a playful squeeze before removing herself from his embrace.

'Is that one of your fantasies Blye.' Deeks called after her as she entered his bathroom, closing the door behind her. 'Because I'd do anything for you, you know that right princess?'

'Gosh no!' Kensi laughed from behind the closed door. 'Now let me shower in peace or I won't join you in bed.'

'Your threats are empty Kens.' He replied, huge smile on his face as he granted her wish, heading to the lounge to watch some TV. Gosh she made him happy.
