CHAPTER two

Back at NCIS, while she was waiting for Abby to show up, Kate studied some of the evidence she collected that morning. Tony scared her to dead when he showed up from behind saying booo while putting his hands on her shoulders. "Tony!"

"Did I scare you" He said with a big smile, already knowing the answer.

"What is it with you today? Can't you just leave me alone.?"

She kept shaking her head, then looked back into the microscope. "Well, somebody got up at the wrong side of the bed. Or maybe it wasn't her own bed, which could explain the bad mood, because someone didn't get enough sleep. I'm on to something here, am I not dear Kate." He winked at her "Who was it Kate? Someone I know?" But Kate wasn't planning on answering the question. At first she wanted to give the privacy speech again but she knew it was no use, so she just kept quiet and ignored him.

After a few moments he broke the uncomfortable silence

"I've been meaning to talk to you about our, let's say, little rendez- vous earlier today." Kate gave him a puzzled look. "Remember the closet, where you were about to kiss me."

"Uh no" "Admit it Kate, you wanted to stick your tongue…"

"Ew Tony that's, that's just gross."

"Hey hey, You..."

"I wasn't, really, believe me."

"you know what this reminds me off. No? Well that movie with Sandra Bullock. The one where they turned her into that hottie. And man they succeeded."

Kate still wasn't interested but Tony mistook it for not knowing what he was talking about "That scene with the pool, remember. Maybe we should watch it together tonight.?"

"Don't you ever get tired of being rejected." She stood up and stopped on her way out to say : "And as I remember it correctly, they never kissed at the pool."

"Maybe not but they did end up together, didn't they?" He winked at her. Kate left.

"Hey, Kate, where were you?" Abby said, removing her jacket and leaving it on Mcgee's chair. Kate didn't respond, she seemed lost in her thoughts. Abby couldn't help but to smile, she knew what Kate was thinking about, after all Ducky did tell her what happened in the marine's apartment. Now, Abby wouldn't tell Kate she knew, she wanted to hear it from Kate herself, maybe Kate would reveal something more.

"Kate." Kate shivered and saw Abby standing in front of her with some coffee. "Abs, hey"

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I was just uh thinking. Doesn't really matter, what do you got for me?" Kate took a sip from her coffee, rubbed her eyes and asked Abby to repeat everything she said because truthfully Kate wasn't paying any attention. She just couldn't focus. She didn't understand why every conversation she had with Tony could set her off like that, or why she couldn't stop thinking about what would have happened if Gibbs hadn't opened the door. She couldn't be really falling for him could she?

After repeating everything for the second time, Kate still wasn't listening so Abby would use another approach: "come on Kate, spill it."

Kate was surprised "uh, what were we talking about again. God I'm really sorry Abs. Whose DNA was it again."

"It's female DNA, so far I didn't get a match yet. It won't take long so in the mean time we can talk a bit. What's on your mind?"

"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired. Didn't get enough sleep last night."

"I need a better excuse."

"Lately, I don't know, there's just this tension between Tony and I." Abby nodded yes:

"A sexual tension. Right, buy that you guys had from the beginning"

"No, not a sexual tension, I think, I couldn't , I mean we couldn't. I mean me and Tony? Hahaha God no. Oh who am I fooling. You know the other day when he had that date with, what's her name again, Tara, I have to admit, I didn't like it. At first I thought it was because she seemed like a real, you know, but know, after this morning I'm just not sure."

"I understand, so what are you going to do?"

"Do? Abs, I'm gonna do nothing. I don't want to be the laughing stock of the office. I don't want to get dumped and I definitely don't want to loose my job. By the way it's just a short moment thing. it won't last."

"That's bullshit Kate, and you know it." Tony joined the conversation. "What's bullshit ladies?" "None of your business." Kate shouted at him and she left in a hurry. "Man, what is eating her." He looked at Abby but she wasn't planning on telling him a thing.

An: thanks for the reviews, better chapters are coming up! I promise. Or at least I hope so!

Okay so I tried to made it easier to read, if not so then let me know and I'll try to fix it !
