Waking up to find the person you love on your arms

Callen is sitting on the couch of his rented apartment when his phone rang. He picks it up, knowing there is only person who would call him this early on Christmas morning.

"Good morning, Kensi…and merry Christmas!" He hears her laughing lightly on the other side and frowns. Has she been drinking this early in the morning?

"Can you come over?" She sounds happy, something unusual ever since Jack has come back.

"Where's Jack?" She laughs once again and he can't help but smile because that is the effect she has over him.

"Can you just come over now, please?" Callen has no idea of what is going on but he's curious and she knows he's not strong enough to say no to her, not even over the phone.

"I'll be there in 20 minutes." With that they both hang up and Callen gets ready to go to her house.

Callen parks his car outside her house and frowns, noticing that Jack's car is nowhere to be seen. He locks his car and walks to her doorstep but he doesn't have the chance to ring the doorbell. Kensi opens the door as soon as he gets there.

She is wearing a t-shirt and shorts, her hair is tied up in a ponytail and she has a huge smile on her face. Even though it is Christmas it is still a hot day in Los Angeles.

She throws herself into his arms without giving him time to react and hugs him as tightly as she possibly can. Callen wraps his arms around her too to keep her steady and to return her hug, not entirely sure of what is going on with her. She pulls back after a few seconds but doesn't give him time to speak.

Kensi crashes her lips on his and kisses him. He kisses her back because, even though he has absolutely no clue of what is going on here, he can't deny her something that they both want so badly.

When air becomes an issue, they finally pull back. Kensi is still smiling but Callen looks confused. She understands why and explains with what's going on in one simple sentence.

"Jack left!" Callen frowns and she continues. "I woke up this morning and he was gone. He took all of his things with him. He's gone, Callen!" He can't help but smile because she looks like she's about to burst from happiness. Callen leans in and gives her a soft kiss that makes her smile against his lips. When he pulls back her eyes are almost shining.

"Want to go out for lunch?" Kensi smirks and grabs him by the shirt to pull him inside the house, closing the door as soon as they are there. As soon as she does, Kensi walks to him and crashes her lips onto his once again, kissing him with passion. He kisses her back with the same amount of feeling and feels her arms going around his neck. He rests his around her waist, pulling her as close to his body as humanly possible. He starts to kiss her neck but stops when he hears her soft whisper.

"Seven months…"Callen frowns and looks at her, confusion written all over his features.

"Seven months?" Kensi understands his confusion once again.

"It's been seven months since I've last had sex…Screw lunch!"

Callen smirks and kisses her once again. This time he feels her weakening on his arms and smiles against her soft lips. He grabs her by the waist and makes her wrap her legs around his so he can carry her to the nearest soft surface, which just happens to be her living room couch.

Callen wakes up and smiles as soon as he opens his eyes. He sees that the sun is beginning to set through the open curtains of the bedroom window. Then he looks down to his arms and his smile gets even bigger.

Kensi is still asleep on his arms and he can't imagine a better image to see as soon as he wakes up. He notices that they have been sleeping for two hours so he figures that it is probably better if he wakes her up. Even though he is sure that she's still tired, they need to get something to eat. Callen kisses her forehead and she cuddles closer to his chest. He pulls her even closer while stroking her back. She wraps her legs around his and that's what gives her away.

"I know you're awake…" She opens her eyes sleepily and looks at him with a soft smile on her face.

"Why did you have to wake me up? I'm still tired, Callen."

"We need to eat." Kensi knows that he is right so she doesn't argue with him about it. She gives him a soft peck on the lips and gets up, wrapping her sheet around her naked body. Callen gets up too and puts his boxer on after finding them discarded on the living room floor. He walks to the kitchen with his shirt on his hand to find Kensi there with the phone on her hands and a few papers.

"Chinese, pizza or Thai?" Callen shrugs so she dials a number and orders Chinese food. As soon as she hangs up Callen walks to her and kisses her, unwrapping the sheet that she has around herself. She pulls back and smirks at him.

"I think that we really need to eat something before we even think about that, G!" Callen laughs and kisses her forehead before helping her putting his shirt on.

"I just figured that you'd be more comfortable with a shirt on than with a sheet. However, if the delivery guy is coming, you might want to put some shorts on before answering the door." Kensi smirks and wraps her arms around his neck.

"You know what I think?" Callen wraps his arms around her waist with a smile on his face and shakes his head.

"I think that I'll never be able to look at my couch the same way again, or at my kitchen table, or at my shower…"

Callen laughs and pulls her in for a hug. It has been a good day, indeed.
