Hey Everyone
Thank you so much for those of you who have reviewed and have left constructive criticism/ comments they are greatly appreciated and even though sometimes I don't agree it makes me so happy and thankful that you even care enough to review and send me the long reviews!
To those of you who have left reviews and PM's me saying you will stop reading if I don't get Kensi and Deeks together in the next few chapters, I don't think that's very fair. This is a story which has only JUST reached the halfway point. There is still so much I have planned and so much more to Kensi, Deeks and their relationship than I have let you see thus far. I really hope you stick with this story even if its not turning out exactly the way you wanted it and the timeline you want it to happen.
Thanks so much to my Beta AlexxxJ, she is the one you have to thank for reminding me to get writing again.
On a personal note thanks for everyones kind words, i felt empowered for a little bit and even you know, left the house for something other than work or food hahah so thank you :)
Cheers

Chapter 27
Deeks had managed to avoid everyones questions about Kensi all day. He was thankful he wasn't allowed out in the field yet and honestly didn't mind the paperwork, it took his mind off the shit that had become his life. How could he have gotten the Kensi thing so wrong? Deeks knew he had to be more strict with Lily, that was a given. His daughter may have been very bright but if she didn't study, she wasn't going to be able to get into the college she wanted, and he honestly couldn't remember the last time she had practiced her music. So he sucked as a boyfriend and sucked as a dad.
"Hey Eric can you check something for me?" Deeks asked, catching Eric before he went up the stairs to OPS. Eric turned around slowly, unsure as to what Deeks could possibly want as he wasn't working any active cases and he was just about to head home for the day. "Is it illegal? Because if it is, you probably shouldn't ask me out in the open like this." Deeks rolled his eyes "I just need you to trace Lilianna's phone. She's supposed to be at home and I just wanted to check that she actually is." He had to admit he felt a little sick checking up on his daughter. He never wanted to be this kind of father, he wanted to have an open relationship where they could be friends, but it appears that wasn't going to work. Lilianna needed boundaries and Deeks needed to step up. "Dude I shouldn't be doing this but…" Eric started typing on his tablet. "She's … not at your place… it appears she's at the mall." Deeks couldn't believe it, he told her not to and she just went and did it anyway! He was furious. "Thanks Eric, I'm going to go collect my disobedient child." Deeks grabbed his jacket and bag from his desk and waved goodbye to Hetty on the way out explaining something had come up with Lilianna.
"Oh my god Lil, you totally have to buy these jeans for your date!" Paige said as she pushed Lily into a dressing room. Lily looked at the jeans and shook her head. "No way, my ** is not going to fit in these." Lily said as she went to walk out of the dressing room. "Put them on, they stretch. Trust me they will look amazing. He won't be able to take his hands off you." Lily sighed realising she wasn't going to be able to get out of it. She pulled on the jeans and amazingly they did fit… but god they were tight, every single curve was defined and Lily had to admit. She looked hot. After trying on a few other things both Paige and Lily paid for what they wanted and walked out of the shop. Lily glanced at her watch, she still had another two hours before her dad would be home, which was plenty of time to get home, hide the shopping and start her homework, she had it all worked out.
"Lilianna Jade, last time I looked we didn't reside in the mall." Lily screamed in shock and turned around. Her dad was standing there looking furious. She had never seen that look aimed in her direction until now. Paige on the other hand was delighted. She had only seen Lily's dad from afar but now up close he was even more good looking than she could ever have imagined.
"Dad don't do that! You scared me!" Lily said as she picked up her bags of shopping that she dropped.
"I wouldn't have scared you if you were at home… where you were supposed to be! Did I or did I not tell you explicitly that you weren't allowed to come to the mall and that you had to go straight home?" Deeks asked, raising his voice. He was so furious with her. How can she not obey a simple instruction? Was she doing it intentionally or did she just honestly think he wouldn't mind? Either way things were definitely going to change at home.
After dropping Paige at her place they drove back home in complete silence. Lily was scared, she had never been scared of her dad. Lily knew she did the wrong thing but she honestly didn't think that her Dad would have been that angry at her. She would have expected him to look a little bit disappointed and tell her not to do it again but this whole silent treatment thing was not what she was used to, it just wasn't her Dad. The shrill ringing of Deeks' phone broke the silence in the car. Deeks looked at the caller and immediately rejected the call. Lily glanced at the phone and saw Kensi's name. The phone started ringing again, and it was Kensi again. Lily watched her dad look at the phone, open his window, and throw it out. Lily was shocked. What the hell was going on?! Her dad never did anything like this. He was always the happy-go-lucky type guy. Yeah he got angry and pissed off but he always liked to talk it out.
"Dad, You can't just throw your phone out the window." Lily said only just above a whisper. Deeks looked back at Lily and then turned his eyes to the road again. He was just so angry. Lily was just lying to him and doing whatever she wanted, completely disregarding everything he had said. Then there was Kensi, Deeks had spent hours trying to call her last night and sent countless texts trying to figure out what the hell had happened earlier that night and he heard nothing. Not even a text back to let him know she was ok.
