A/N: Two in one night (and that's just for this collection…I also updated/completely my other one!). It's amazing what one can do when you avoid studying. So I'm catching up on the requests…after this chapter I have one more to do and I'm caught up, so feel free to send more my way!
I could have gone mushy with this one, but I decided to approach it from a real-life/in the moment angle. Hope it's good!
Disclaimer: I don't own NCIS but I do great PR work. Got my whole family hooked in a matter of weeks!

Ziva: You'll never get it

If she had given him a moment to get past this normal jest and pop-culture references, he may have been able to give her the answer she wanted to hear.
