I know a few of you are not enjoying the McAbby storyline I have created because this is a Tiva story. But I want to drop McAbby into my story and the development of their relationship is important for the rest of this story and the sequel and the development of the defining friendships in this fic. Hope you all understand. More Tiva coming I PROMISE.

P.S. I do not own NCIS or any of it's characters.

Tony looked to see Abby standing in the doorway and he smiled at her. He then looked at Ziva. There was something glistening in her eyes that made Tony's heart skip a beat. He looked at her and melted. He thought about the last few weeks and how their love had come to a screeching halt. She didn't deserve that. She had been there for him and she was right, even though McGee had been missing he shouldn't have forgotten about Ziva. He needed to fix it, all of it.

He got up and moved to Ziva in the doorway.

"I'll leave you guys alone." Tony said. "I'll be back tomorrow."

McGee nodded, still staring lovingly at Abby.

As Tony and Ziva left to walk down the hallway Tony closed the door and gave McGee a thumbs up from the window.

He turned back to Ziva and wrapped his arm around her waist. Ziva turned to him and smiled leaning further into his touch.

"I'm sorry." Tony whispered to her as they turned a corner, heading for the exit.

Ziva shook her head. "I understand. I know what you did and why you did it, I am not mad. I should not have expected so much when your best friend was missing. I am sorry. Can we just not talk about it?"

"Of course, Zi." Tony said pulling her into a hug.

"I am just glad to have you back." Ziva whispered.

Tony smiled and kissed her neck lightly.

Suddenly they heard someone clear their throat in front of them. They both turned and to their shock it was Vance standing in front of them.

"Director." Tony said respectfully.

Vance nodded to them. "Dinozzo. David."

"McGee's room is just around the corner to the left." Tony said.

"Thank you, Dinozzo, but as much as I'd like to see McGee I can't stay. I actually came here to find you."

"Me?" Tony asked as he felt Ziva's hand latch onto his own.

"Yes, I just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent work on finding McGee and solving the case of the hacking. SECNAV also was impressed by your work."

"Thank you sir." Tony said.

"You are very welcome, Dinozzo. I could easily see you taking Gibbs's position one day."

Tony just smiled, not knowing how to react or what reaction Vance was expecting.

"And David?" Vance asked turning to her.

"Yes, sir?" Ziva asked.

"Have you heard from your father recently?" He asked.

Ziva cocked her head. "No, I have not. Though we rarely keep in contact at all. Why?"

"Oh-uh, no reason." Vance stammered clearing his throat again.

Ziva gave Vance a suspicious look and when he saw it he turned back to Tony.

"Anyway, thanks again Dinozzo. I think I'll go visit McGee for a minute."

Tony nodded and smiled.

Vance gave Ziva one last look before he pushed past them and made his way around the corner to McGee's room.

"What the hell was that about?" Tony asked as soon as he had left.

"I do not know." Ziva replied.

Tony turned to Ziva and smiled. "Let's get out of here."

That night Tony had decided to take Ziva out to dinner and when he arrived to pick her up his mouth fell open.

She was dressed in a royal blue dress that came down to right past her butt. The V-neck dipped into the valley between her breasts and the back was open, hardly clinging onto her shoulders. Her hair was gently curled and swept into a side ponytail. She had on a pair of small diamonds studs and patent black leather heels.

Tony groaned as he looked at her and felt a twinge in his pants.

Ziva laughed and raised her eyebrow. "You like it?"

"Did you put that on just to get us out of dinner?" Tony growled flirtaciously.

Ziva laughed again and turned around to lock the door. Tony looked down and had to keep his hands to himself as he stared at her ass. And you thought it looked good in the cargo pants. He thought, laughing to himself.

When Ziva stuck the key in the door he spun her around and kissed her feverishly on the mouth.

Ziva was startled at first but softened in his touch and melted against him. She wrapped her arms around his neck dropping her keys to the floor. Tony pried her mouth open with his tongue and felt the familiarity of her tongue, her teeth, her lips. Tony ran his hands along her bare spine and he felt her shiver under his fingertips.

She parted her legs and put one of his legs between them. Tony felt himself harden against her hip. He trailed one of his hands down to her thigh and slid his fingers under the hem of her dress.

Suddenly Ziva broke their kiss and Tony gave her a questioning look.

"Did I do something wrong?" Tony whispered in a husky voice.

Ziva shook her head.

"Well what is it?" Tony asked worriedly.

Ziva looked deep into Tony's eyes and bit her lip.

"I am ready." She said.

Tony let her go and adjusted his jacket. He ran a hand through his hair and cleared his throat.

"Sorry, of course you are ready." Tony said blushing a bit.

"No, I am ready." Ziva emphasized grabbing at Tony's jacket.

Suddenly it clicked.

"Oh!" Tony He said as the lightbulb went off.

Ziva laughed and flung herself back into Tony's arms. Tony crushed her lips with his own and smiled. Ziva reached around and opened the door and pulled Tony inside.

He slammed the door with his leg and followed Ziva as she pulled him through her apartment to her bedroom. They bumped into walls, tables, chairs, and sofas and laughed each time. They took turn yanking off each others clothes, throwing shoes, unclipped themselves until they had nothing on at all. They fell back onto the bed, tangled up in each other.

Tony hoisted himself onto his hands above her, smiling at the curl that was stuck in the corner of her mouth.

"You know," He breathed. "it is said in Greek mythology that humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a head with two faces. And Zeus feared the power that they might acquire he split them into two separate beings, forcing them to spend their whole life searching for their other half..."

He bent down and kissed her.

"You, Ziva David, are my other half."

Tony bent down and kissed the tear that was sliding down her cheek.

"I love you." She reminded him.

"I love you too." He whispered and then he slid into her.

Okay, well I know most of you were expecting a lemon but I am not sure about writing one... I love this story the way it is. I don't know if I want to add one. I am afraid it may take away from the story... Hmmm... Opinions? I mean I could always start the next chapter with one continuing from the scene I just created. But I don't know... Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it! Please review!

Also, what do you guys think Vance was talking about Eli for?

Hmmmm

Thanks as always for reading! Love you!
