"So you really broke your nose when you were eleven by... falling off a slide?" Kate asked curiously.

"Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?" Tony took a sip of his beer.

"It isn't now that I think about it. I mean, you are extremely clumsy," Kate laughed, holding her drink in her hand.

"Wow Kate. I never really pictured you as a 'Sex On The Beach' kinda girl."

"What! Tony, what are you talking about?"

"Your drink... duh!"

Kate laughed slightly. "Funny Tony, but it isn't going to help change the subject and diverge me from the fact that you are clumsy."

"Clumsy? Want me to prove it?"

"Go ahead," Kate said.

"Come on then." Tony held out his hand. "Dance with me."

"To this?" Kate questioned. No one usually sang after twelve. Angelina had turned on the stereo and out of the speakers blared some fast rap song that Tony had never heard of.

"Yeah. Why not? You scared?"

Tony knew Kate couldn't resist a dare. "Bring it on Anthony," Kate laughed as Tony pulled her out onto the floor.

The beat of the music put them in tune with each other as they danced around the floor. Not only was Kate an amazing singer, but she had moves that J Lo couldn't pull off... okay maybe she could.

At first they kept their distance, reminding themselves that they were colleagues as well as friends and that if they didn't behave Gibbs would know. They didn't know how he would know, but he would.

Finally, loosening up a little more they began to dance closer together and even on each other a little. Kate turned so her back was leaning into Tony and making a very daring move, he ran his hands along her stomach, pushing them slightly closer together. The heat of the room sky-rocketed as the duo ignored the others around them and just had fun... together. A huge smile was plastered on both of their faces and stayed there until the song ended.

"Well that was fun," Tony said. He could kind of feel the ackwardness between them, but he felt something else there to. Want. Desire. From just him. Maybe Kate too. No. Just him. Or not. "Back to our seats?" Tony asked, holding his hand in the direction of their table.

Kate began to walk back to their stools and as she did, Tony noticed even more just how perfect those pants fit and just how perfect Kate walked and just how perfect she was. He wanted her more then anything and the sweat glittering on her bare stomach and arms, made it even harder to resist temptation.

"Where did you learn to dance like that?" Kate inquired nonchalantly. Apparently unaffected by the recent events.

"I just picked it up I guess. Where did you learn to dance like that?"

"I will never tell."

"Why is that?"

"Kinda personal slash embarrassing."

"Come on Kate. I told you just how clumsy I was as a kid."

"Strip-tease Tony."

"You were a stripper?" Tony sounded utterly shocked.

"No you idiot. It is like aerobics, just sexier."

"Do you actually get naked?"

"Oh God Tony! Why did I tell you that?" Kate seemed slightly aggravated, but even more amused.

"Because you trust me," Tony said, more serious this time. "Do you trust me?"

Kate thought for a minute. "Yeah... I do." As she said that, a slow song began to play.

"You know, if that fast song wasn't enough to prove how un-clumsy I am, can I have a second chance?"

"Don't worry Tony. You have proven yourself worthy."

"Come on Kate. Scared?"

"Again? You use the dare line. Alright, lets go."

Tony once again, pulled her onto the floor. One hand wrapped gently around her waist as the other held her hand. Kate's arm draped lightly over his shoulder and just like that, they began to dance.

They didn't look into each other's eyes or barely even glance at each, but once Kate finally had the guts to look at Tony... they stayed that way.Gazing into each other's eyes.

Getting more comfortable with the position they were in, Kate rested her head on his chest and immediately, they began dancing to the rythm of his heart beating. Taking another chance, Kate laced her fingers in Tony's hand.
