"I spoke to your boss" Tony's face dropped and he turned to Ziva giving her a worried glance, then turned back to his auntie.
"What?"
Tony was so worried by what his Auntie might have said to his boss. How did she even find his number? Francesca felt bad slightly about ringing his boss without asking first, but she knew he would be happy in the end; she would never do anything that would end up bad for him.
"Yes, he was a nice man I have to say, I talked to him about his rules that you told me about earlier" Francesca smiled at Tony's face; it was all scrunched up and worried. Ziva would be one to match his expression.
"What did he say to you?" Tony had to know what exactly they talked about.
"Well, he said that he knew you two would break that rule" Tony really looked confused at that.
"What? He did? Does he know we broke it?" Tony was talking fast with anticipation.
"Well, he guessed you had since I rang asking about it, but he said he doesn't mind because he knows the two of you know what your doing and that to break his rule you must be serious about it" Francesca's words this time made Ziva make a funny face.
"Wait, he doesn't mind?" Ziva's face turned into a smile at the realisation, she turned to Tony and he had gotten it also, as he was smiling back.
"He's not going to kill us! I can't believe this, this is awesome" Tony leant forward and pulled Ziva into a big hug. She laughed at his behaviour. Francesca was satisfied that her plan was all in good spirit now.
"Oh and he told me to remind you both not to be late for work in the morning" Ziva and Tony had one thought 'typical Gibbs'.
A little later Tony, all his cousins and their partners, Ziva, Alice and her boyfriend all started a game of Soccer on the beach.
Girls vs Boys.
They were just about to do the first kick off. Ziva was at the front with Alice, Ziva was giving Tony an evil smirk. He was going to get attacked at least one time in this game, he knew just by that smirk of hers. They had begun and so did the fun, the girls passed it round, they had a pretty good team. Obviously the boys were better at football than soccer when the girls scored the first goal, Ziva had run it down the wing and the crossed it into the middle were Cristina had scored.
Half way through the game the girls were up 3-1. Tony's aunties and uncles were watching and the loved how competitive it was all getting, especially as the boys started to get frustrated at being beaten by the girls. Tony was just lucky he hadn't been taken out by Ziva yet; he knew it was coming soon though.
And it did happen, Michael had passed the ball to Tony, and when he looked up all he saw was Ziva running at him with a grin. She made sure she got the ball when she dipped her shoulder into him with force (but in a playful way that wouldn't hurt him), he went falling over into the sand and she took of with the ball. She laughed when she heard him call out to her as she ran away 'I will get you ninja'. The game ended with the girls winning 5-2.
Tony smirked when he saw his chance for payback. They were all going round shaking hands and when Tony got to Ziva he shook her hand, but he didn't let go when she went to let go. He pulled her to him and then in one swift motion he lifted her off her feet and threw her over his shoulders. She struggled, but like last time he did this she couldn't get free from his hold and he began to run down the beach to the water. Everyone was watching and laughing as they had heard Tony shout he would get payback in the game.
Tony ran until he hit the water, then he threw her into the water with a big splash. He stood there laughing when she surfaced with grumpy, but he knew wasn't really grumpy, face. When he focused on her face after laughing he noticed that same evil smirk. Oh no what did she have planned. She stood up and ran towards him, he squealed like a girl as he took off in a sprint down the beach with her hot on his heels. She managed to get close enough and she dove at him with enough force to send them both to the ground, landing in the sand.
He grunted, but then when he focused she was right on top of him. Maybe this revenge wouldn't be so bad after all. He thought that until her thumb was pressed into his side just above his hip. He let out a squeaky-grunt. She smiled down at him.
"Now I will not release you until you surrender to me" she pushed her thumb in more when he smiled.
"Ok ok, Ziva I surrender your totally ninja and I bow down to your kick arse awesomeness" he knew it worked when she released her thumb from his side. He smiled and she kissed him.
"That is what I like to hear" she slowly stood up and offered her hand to him, he took it and stood also. They walked back to where the family was seated, but as they walked Tony kept poking Ziva with his finger into her side, and she would slap his hand away laughing. Ziva had warned Tony she would use force if he did it again, and then he did it again right before they got to their destination. As his finger prodded her, she grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back so she could whisper to him from behind him. He was squirming in her grip.
"If you value this hand you will stop prodding me constantly" she whispered in his ear. He smirked.
"I know you wouldn't because I know you like what that hand can do" so he was taking that way huh. She twisted his arm more, and he thought she was actually going to rip his arm off right there and then.
"Are you so sure?"
"No, you'll probably find some crabs to nibble my arm off. I will stop prodding you just because I like this hand to make you happy when I use it on you" he was still smiling; he couldn't help, but add the last bit. But she did release his arm and spun him round to face her.
"That is good. Now be a good boy and let me lie in the sun" she kissed him again and then went and lay on her towel on her stomach. She smiled at the family members smiling at her, they all thought Ziva was very unique and she could be very amusing when she did things like that to Tony, they hadn't seen anyone ever have that much control over Tony.
Tony sat down next to Ziva on his towel. He looked out to the water and saw some of his cousins swimming and having fun, he also watched Marco play with Guido. It looked like so much fun to have a kid to play with. Tony then looked down at Ziva lying on her stomach, eyes closed and relaxed. He just hoped and wished one day that he and Ziva would get that far, get married and have kids of their own together. He ran his finger from her shoulder and down her back.
"Tony…" she opened one eye to look at him, he smiled at her. He lay down on his back and turned his face towards her.
"Sorry, you just looked so inviting, and I couldn't help but touch" at his words her face softened more, if that was even possible.
"No, that is ok" she moved her hand down towards his and laced her fingers in his.
"I love you" he whispered to her, she smiled.
"I love you too" she leant over slightly and kissed him softly. She leant back on her towel again after and closed her eyes. He closed his eyes too and squeezed her hand gently.
He lay in the sun, soaking up the heat. He was lost in thought. This weekend he was very happy for, the main part he and Ziva had moved to a new level together and that made him a very happy man. He had wanted Ziva for a very long time, they had clicked when they first met and it grew and grew from there. Now they knew each other more than anyone else; they were best friends, and now after so long they were lovers. He hoped that Ziva would stay with him forever, he would never want anyone else, but her, and he did not for the life of him want to be like his father. The events with his father this weekend were troubling but it sort of lifted a weight off his shoulders, not having to deal with someone worthless like him in his life, he had a family here with the rest of his family and Ziva.
He hadn't realised he had fallen asleep until he was woken up by Ziva; she was prodding him like he had to her earlier. He woke and quickly sat up.
"Hmm what?" he looked over at her smiling, he looked down and his hand was still in hers.
"You fell asleep Tony" she ran her thumb over his hand in hers. He looked around and no one else was out on the beach anymore, and the sun was going down. He ran his free hand over his face.
"How long was I out for?"
"Oh about three hours" she smiled at his shocked face.
"What? Wow you must be working me too hard or something, lucky I sun blocked earlier" he smiled simply at her smile.
"Maybe, but you will have to get use to me" with her free hand she ran her hand into the side of his hair.
"Oh, I don't mind" he leant and kissed her. This time it was stronger, more passionate. This was the one he deserved to give her this morning at breakfast. She leant back and he followed her, he lay half on her, his chest on hers, but his legs were off to the side. Her lips opened for him and he slipped his tongue into her mouth to join hers. They lay there and kissed as the sun finally left the sky for the end to the day and the coming of the night. He broke off the kiss and looked down at her, she looked so beautiful, all the time, especially with her hair slightly messy, pink lips from being kissed by him, and when she had that twinkle in her eye.
"What time did auntie say we have to be in for dinner?" he didn't think he could ever get over her. She reached down to his wrist with his watch on it and brought it in front of her face.
"We have about forty minutes" she dropped his hand back down, but it went to the side of her face. He ran his thumb over her cheekbone to her ear.
"I guess we should head in so we can pack quickly before dinner" he leant down and captured her lips for a last kiss in the sunset.
"I like how you think"
They grabbed their things off the beach and headed up to the house; once they walked in they saw Francesca working in the kitchen.
"Well hello sleepy, how was your nana nap?" Ziva giggled at Francesca's term for Tony's nap. Tony just pulled a face.
"It wasn't a nana nap, it was a power nap" he said standing taller, trying not to lose his masculinity. That made Ziva and Francesca laugh.
"Ok, sure thing dear, now you two go clean up for dinner"
Tony and Ziva went up to their room, they showered (together, but strictly PG as they had to get ready for dinner), packed up their stuff and got dressed for dinner. Ziva wore a very cute summer dress, crisp white; it brought out her tan skin so beautifully. Tony wore his nice jeans and light tan dress shirt; it worked with the colour of his hair and brought out his green eyes. They went down stairs to go to dinner, the last time they would see Tony's family for the weekend.
