Stay?
They lay next to each other both catching their breath, coming down from their orgasm. The last few hours had been great and Tony wanted to remember them until he died. When he thought he was able to move, he sat up and placed his feet on the ground.
For a second he thought he felt Ziva's eyes on him but when he looked over his shoulder he saw that she had rolled onto her side, her back facing him.
They had talked about this before. Talked about having a one-night-stand with each other.
"We'll do it at your place. That way I can leave whenever I want and nobody overstays their welcome." He had told her and as soon as it came out of his mouth it sounded a little rude.
But Ziva had agreed to that with a simple "Okay" and a shrug.
Tony looked over at her again and then out of the window. It was raining and there was a thunderstorm on the way.
"I think, I'll stay for another thirty minutes." Tony said lying back on the bed.
"Okay." Ziva answered not turning towards him.
He took the blanket and covered them both, pulling her into his arms. "Just thirty minutes." He yawned.
'Nobody overstays their welcome.'
He woke up three hours later. The thunder had been too loud. Ziva was still in his arms. She had turned around and her breath tickled his chest. Tony got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out he sat again on the bed collecting his socks.
'Nobody overstays their welcome.'
"Maybe… I should stay a little longer…" he started lying back. "You know, because of the storm outside and… It would not be wise to drive through it now… and…" Hell, he wanted to stay.
"Shut up." Ziva said rudely and Tony was about to get up until he felt her finger on his lips and her head on his shoulder. "I cannot sleep when you talk."
"So you're okay, with me staying a little longer." He asked.
"Yes."
"Would it be okay for you if I stay for breakfast?" he asked.
"Yes."
"And would it be okay if I…"
"Yes Tony. If you want you can stay as long as you wish just shut up and turn off the light please." Ziva's voice was soft but he felt her body stiff as if she expected him to leave now.
Instead he turned off the light and cuddled her closely. She relaxed and he was sure he would stay forever.
