Finally got a computer at home! I am so happy. It is kinda slow and it will be until next Tuesday when we get DSL. Also, I finally saw that episode of NCIS I wanted to see... the one where Kate throws a sponge at Tony, Terminal Leave. Wasn't as good as Chained or Doppelganger, but good all the same.

Spoiler: small spoiler in this chapter for the movie Without a Paddle

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the movies, characters mentioned... etc. etc. etc.

Enjoy! Please review!

Oh, and I am really sorry if these next few chapters suck. It's my first... well, you'll see. SORRY!


"Are you sure the movie store is even open at..." Kate paused to check her watch. "12:19?"

"Finally, somebody didn't use military time," Tony said. "But you are right. I realized that they aren't open this late, except for drop offs. We can always order something on pay-per-view."

"Sounds like a plan. So, are we headed to my place or yours?" Kate asked, not recognizing the street they were on.

"Yours. It's a shortcut I found last week after I went by the coffee shop," Tony explained.

"Why were you going to my house last week? We weren't..." Kate paused once again, choosing her words carefully. " We weren't together last week."

"Did I say last week? I meant last... day. That's the Italian way of saying yesterday." Tony tried his best to cover up.

"Right," Kate laughed. "Wait Tony, I was kidnapped 'last' day."

"Oh look. We're here!" Tony cried, quickly changing the subject.

"Where's the fire?" Kate chuckled, exiting the vehicle and extracting the key to her apartment from her purse.

Kate threw her sweater onto the couch as she walked through the door with Tony in tow. "I'm gonna go change okay?"

"No problem. I will look for a good movie on pay-per-view or I could fix something to eat. Which?"

"I'm not really all that hungry and I have to assume you aren't becuase of all those fries. So I guess just find a movie. Make sure it's one that I'd like. Please."

Tony took a step forward. "You'll love it... I promise." He slowly ran his hand down her cheek, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Thanks. Well, gotta change now." Kate slwoly walked to her room, grabbing her sweater off the couch as she went.

Sitting down on the couch, Tony picked up the remote and began to channel surf, hoping to find something good on pay-per-view. "God that movie was so awesome," Tony whispered.

"What movie?" Kate asked sneaking up behind him.

"Holy cow! You scared me!" Tony yelped, dropping the remote.

"Sorry. What movie?" she repeated.

"Friday Night Lights. You look hot." Kate had on a pair of red flannel pants, a white tank top with the word NAVY across it, also in red, while her hair was tied in a sloppy bun.

"Thanks. So whats on?"

"Thanks... that's the only reaction I get," Tony sat looking sad, trying his best to give Kate puppy dog eyes. She returned his gaze with a blank stare. "Okay. Without a Paddle, Spiderman 2, The Forgotten, The Cookout and Cellular. Which would you like to watch?"

Kate sat down by Tony, laying her head on his shoulder. "How about Without a Paddle? I'm in the mood for a late night funny."

"Same here. Hey look! It's coming in about five minutes. aren't we lucky?"

"Yeah. It gives me just enough time to fix some popcorn," Kate said, scrambling to the kitchen.

" I thought you weren't hungry?" Tony tagged along behind her.

"I'm not. I just want to eat something."

"Wow. You actually eat something not completely healthy and you eat when your aren't hungry." Tony gave a low whistle, followed by a clicking of his tongue.

"Don't get your hopes up just yet DiNozzo. It's plain popcorn. No butter, salt, etc."

"Shoulda know it was too good to be true. I'll go sit down and let you know when the movie starts."

Kate sat down right when the movie came on and once again she laid her head on Tony's shoulder. As soon as she did this, Tony hopped up off the couch. "Gotta turn off the kitchen light. It'll make it seem kinda like a movie theater. Plus, I like the dark."

"Whatever floats your boat DiNozzo," Kate giggled, stuffing a piece of popcorn in her mouth.


"I can't believe they are actually going to go through with it," Kate said.

"Well, you know how wild and crazy they are," Tony replied.

"Even after he died?"

"It was kinda like his last wish. You have to respect that."

"Yeah. It was kind of funny how the combination to the lock was 38-24-36, just like the woman on the wall." The movie had been on for about twenty minutes and already Kate had laughed and cried(sorta).

"Are those numbers anywhere close to yours?" Tony teased, running his hands down Kate's bare arms.

Kate felt shivers rush up and down her spine as she closed her eyes, saving the feeling like memory foam... it always remembers your shape and always soft to the touch. She never wanted to forget the feel of his touch. His soft hands sent a tingling sensation chorusing throughout her entire body, leaving an imprint on every part of her skin. "Wow," Kate whispered, her eyes still closed.

Tony carefully lifted Kate's chin to where he stared into her eyes. "If just a touch made you shiver like that, then I wonder what a kiss will do," Tony said.

"You are treading on dangeroud ground DiNozzo. Do you want to have to give me CPR tonight?"

"That is a risk I'll have to take, besides I want to give you so much more than just CPR." Tony planted a light kiss on Kate's lips. "Had to test it first. May I continue?" Tony didn't need an answer. This time when his mouth touched Kate's, it was more passionate, magical.

"Stop," Kate said, surprising Tony. "I'm feeling a little light headed."

"Your joking right?" Tony sounded a bit concerned.

"Partially," Kate replied and then whispered something in Tony's ear. She could almost see his eyes pop out of his head.
