Thank you guys so much! You're great. Hope you enjoy this chapter :)
Once Tony and Ziva got back to DC, it was around 11:30 ish in the morning and Tony was exhausted considering he left Ziva sleep, while he drove the whole way. "Ziva wake up, we're at your apartment."
"Hm? It is already almost 12!? Why did you let me sleep this late, I would have drove Tony."
"No, you had a tough night. But can I take a nap here while you pack?" He asked, yawning.
"Of course Tony, here take the key and I will meet you up."
When Tony went upstairs to her room, he opened the door, tossed the key on the table, and flopped down on the couch, and fell straight to sleep. Ziva then came up moments later with her bags, and saw Tony on the couch. She smiled to herself as she thought of how exhausted he must of been, but let her sleep anyways.
Once Ziva was done unpacking her clothes from the mission, she began packing her clothes for Florida. She began packing shorts, tanks, t-shirts, some jeans, and a sweatshirt even though she loved wearing Tony's. Then it was time to pack the bathing suit. She planned on packing two bikinis, but which ones to choose. After about a couple minutes of looking through all of them, she chose a black one with a gold chain that ran along the hip line, and a striped brown and white one. 'Tony is going to love these,' she thought to herself. After she chose her causual clothing, and bathing suits, she knew that Tony and her would problem go to dinner, so she packed a navy blue sun dress. She didn't really pack anything else except for some bras, panties, sunglasses, and shoes. She decided on bringing a pair of sandals, and some flip flops.
After about a half an hour of packing, she went out to go get some doughnuts and some coffee.
When she got back she walked into her apartment, and heard Tony snoring. 'Oooo, this will be fun.'
"Tony!" She screamed.
Once his name left her mouth, he jumped up and screamed her name. He then looked around and saw her laughing. "So not funny Ziva."
"Well. I am done packing, and I got us some doughnuts, and coffee. Once we are done eating we can go to your apartment and get you packed, and then I'll drive up to Florida."
"No Ziva that's ok."
"Tony, I insist, you drove all the way up here, so I will drive down."
"Zi, it's a 14 hour drive!"
"Tony I will be fine. Now are you ready? We can bring it with us."
"Yea ok." He agreed, and they left Ziva's apartment.
Once they got into the car, Tony was stuffing his face with the doughnuts. "Tony calm down. They aren't going anywhere." She laughed.
"Erm hungee Zi." He said with his mouth full of food.
"Alright Tony."
After about 15 minutes, they were at Tony's apartment. "Here," She said getting out of the car. "I'll help you pack." She offered as she grabbed his bag.
"Oh no that's ok Ziva." He said taking his bag, afraid that he was going to be embarrassed.
"Tony, just let me help you it will be faster."
"Fine." He agreed and they walked up to his room.
"You still only have a single bed Tony?" She asked as she walked into his room.
"Well I have no one to share it with Zee-Vah." He said as he unpacked his stuff from Maine.
"Hm."
"What Zi?"
"Oh nothing, just didn't know you still had the picture of me in Paris on your table by your bed." Ziva said picking it up smiling.
"Well I liked it." He said as he grabbed it and put it back. "Can you grab me some shorts, and some shirts Zi?" He asked trying to change the subject.
"Sure." She said as she grabbed 3 pairs of khakis, and a pair of white shorts. "Here are some shorts." She said as she tossed them to him.
"Thanks, and the shirts?"
"Oh yea, here you go." She said as she tossed his, a couple of t-shirts. "Don't forget your bathing suit, boxers, pjs, sunglasses, and some shoes."
"Jeez Ziva, you remembered everything." After he said this, she said nothing, just smiled.
"Ready Tony?"
"Yea I think so. Oh wait. You can meet me in the car, I just have to get one more thing!"
"Alright." She agreed and walked out.
Once she was gone he quickly took the picture, and put it in his pants pocket. He was so mad at himself for forgetting it when he went to Maine on the mission, cause he promised himself to look at that picture every night and every morning, to remind him that one day he needed to tell her how he really felt.
