Author's note: Okay, so I am slowly staring to get better at my upgrading time, since my last chapter was posted a day ago. Well, for all of you McAbby fans out there, you will enjoy this chapter but I couldn't resist having at least a small snippet of Tiva. So, I will not give anything away until after you have read, but I do want to ask you guys to please review. I love reading the reviews you guys give me and this story is only going to be another chapter or two (sorry) and I'd really love to get at least 100 reviews on my first fanfic, I'm getting close and I'd be estatic if I do. (Sorry if I'm asking for too much!) So anyways, please review, thanks for reading and most importantly ENJOY!
Ziva couldn't help the childish smile that spread very quickly across her face. It felt good to beat Gibbs, and even better to beat Tony, she was never going to let him live this down. She could still picture the look of shock on his face as she kissed him, it was priceless.
To be truthful, she had kissed Tony just as much to win the game as to be able to kiss him. Hopefully she'd be able to think more clearly now that she had that out of her system. As soon as that thought entered her head though, she realized that she definitely didn't have Tony out of her system.
She could still feel his lips on hers, she smiled. Ziva turned around when she got the feeling that someone was watching her and met Tony's stare. He smirked and she blushed, it was only then that she truly realized what she'd done, I kissed Tony!
She looked away and wondered if things were now going to be awkward, she quite enjoyed the kiss, but Tony might not have felt the same way, then again judging by the big grin on his face…
Ziva slowly made her way to Tony, smirking to cover her nervousness.
"What is the matter Tony? You weren't fast enough to catch me were you?"
Tony smirked, "I was just enjoying watching you act so immature, it suits you." He couldn't help but break out into a full smile when Ziva's face got a little flushed, "What's the matter Zee-vah? I thi-"
But Tony was cut off by yet another head-slap from Gibbs, Ziva laughed as Tony looked innocently at Gibbs.
"What was that for?"
"Letting Ziva get our flag." Gibbs replied gruffly, hiding the small smile on his face at seeing Ziva so excited about her win, she didn't relax like this much so he wouldn't let DiNozzo tease her when she did.
Tony grinned, he knew it was his fault they lost, but he'd be glad to lose to Ziva again if she gave him one more kiss…

Abby shrieked with pleasure, THEY WON! SHE BEAT GIBBS AND TONY!
Well, to be fair Ziva did all the work but still…
Abby couldn't contain her amusement as she jumped up and down, she'd already hugged Ziva and she turned to McGee.
She yelled "TIMMY WE WON!" as she ran towards him and gave him a big hug while jumping up and down. She was so caught up in the moment that she gave McGee a quick peck on the cheek, but that innocent kiss still had an affect on both of them.
Abby stopped jumping and took a step away from McGee, a blush spreading across her face while McGee also blushed and cleared his throat. He was wanted to tell her how he felt, but he couldn't get the words out so he simply smiled.
Abby smiled back at him and they stood there in awkward silence until they saw Lisa approaching them.
McGee was thankful for Lisa's interruption, he was just about to break down and tell her, but to be honest he really wasn't ready yet.
McGee smiled at Abby and for a few long moments he couldn't help but get lost in her beautiful green eyes. He finally forced himself to tear his eyes away from her and listen to Lisa, who was congratulating them on their win.
"Good job Team 2! You may all go back to your cabins and relax until tomorrow when you can meet me at the main cabin at 9, see you then!"
~~~NCIS~~~
The next morning came much too quick for McGee. He hadn't gotten much sleep last night, he kept thinking about the kiss Abby had given him. He never would've thought that anyone could ever drive him this crazy over a simply kiss on the cheek!
McGee knew that Abby wasn't just "anyone" though, she was special. She was unlike any woman he'd ever met before. She was funny, sweet and beautiful, just one look in her green eyes could hypnotise him for hours.
McGee was trying to get over her, telling himself that she didn't feel the same way, but he wasn't being very successful, he thought back to what Ziva said to him that morning, "I'd go for it McGee."
McGee didn't know what to think. It terrified him to think that she didn't return his feelings, but after the kiss today, he realized that he couldn't live much longer without telling her. He made his decision right then, he had to tell her, and he had to tell her today.
McGee got up, willing the day to come faster so that he could talk to Abby. He'd held this in for much too long, and now that he'd decided to tell her, he needed to do it before he lost his nerve. McGee showered and got dressed, all the while trying to steady his steadily rising nerves. It was eight o'clock when he decided to go to her cabin. He wouldn't tell her there of course, but he'd convince her to get ready and walk with him, he'd tell her then.
He was heading out the door at the same time Tony got out of bed looking very tired. McGee was a little concerned at the worn-out look on Tony's face, but he decided not to say anything, he didn't have much time before breakfast and he needed to talk to Abby.
When McGee arrived at the girl's cabin he knocked and was surprised to find Abby open the door, fully ready. She looked tired too and he instantly worried about her, "Are you okay Abs?"
Abby looked just as surprised to see him there, but nodded and told him not to worry.
McGee stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do or say next. The two of them stood there silently, both waiting for the other to talk first.
Abby finally broke the silence, "Do you want to come in?"
McGee blushed, he'd just been standing there! "Where's Ziva?"
Abby smiled, "She's in the shower, but she just got in if that's why you came here."
He thought Abby sounded a little disappointed when she said this, and he instantly regretted bringing Ziva up.
McGee stuttered over his next words, trying desperately to find the right ones. "NO! I um… I mean, no I didn't come to talk to Ziva, I came to talk to you. I was just wondering, this may take a while, do you wanna take a walk while I explain?"
McGee waited, the few seconds where she just stood there, not responding seemed like hour, but he couldn't turn back now.
He was sure that she was going to turn him down, he was searching for an excuse when, to his surprise, she nodded. "Let me just grab my coat."
Abby bounced to get her coat, and came back smiling, more like the Abby he knew, not the silent Abby he was talking to only moments ago.
He smiled back at her and they began walking. McGee instantly regretted asking her to walk with him, before maybe Ziva would've interrupted them and saved him, now there was no way out, he had to tell her.
McGee didn't know where to start, he'd been hiding these feelings for her for so long that it now seemed just as hard to tell them as it was to keep them secret.
He decided that he just had to start before he lost his nerve so he began, "Abby…"
Abby turned to look McGee in the eyes when he began in such a serious tone. His heart sped up as he continued, "Abby, I need to tell you something. For years now I, I've loved being your friend." He saw a disappointed look in her eyes but refused to stop now.
"I love seeing you in the lab everyday, I love seeing you after work with the team, I love that feeling I get when we're working together and… I love being your friend, but especially over the past few months I've come to realize that although you really are my best friend, and don't get me wrong I love our friendship but I've come to realize that being your friend isn't enough. Abigail Scuito, I can't hold it in any longer, I love you. I've loved you from the first time I saw you. I love everything about you, I love the way your face lights up whenever you get a caf-pow, or how…"
McGee knew he was rambling but he had to keep talking to fill the awkward silence until she either fulfilled his dreams or broke his heart. He took a deep breath and was about to continue but was cut off when Abby's lips covered his.
McGee had kissed girls before, but it'd never been felt with so much feeling and power, other kisses never made him realize that he'd walk thousands of miles just to get one more kiss like that. He recovered from his initial shock and began kissing her back. He pulled her closer to him and they finally broke apart, grinning wider than ever before.
"I love you too, Timmy."
Okay, so you can now see why I said it was a McAbby chapter. I noticed that I'd gotten less and less McAbby lately so I decided it had to come back with a bang. Thank you so much for reading, I hope you liked it and please review! :)
