CHAPTER NINE

An: thanks for the reviews from my loyal readers . I hope you'll the chapter. Almost the last one I promise

David escaped...

"Apparently he was able to grab one of militaries' guns and shot his way to freedom, killing two men in the process. They think he'll try to flee the country but I have my doubts." Kate looked rather confused at her partner. She wanted to say that David would indeed flee the country but she knew better, she knew he was right and she was afraid he'd come after him. She stepped closer to him and touched his hand that was still resting on the bottle. He turned to face her and gave her a comforting smile.

"I've been thinking Kate" She noticed he gave her his I'm up to something look and listen further to what he had to say. But first she redraw her hand and used it to put her hair in a ponytail. He continued " Maybe I should stay here… just to.." Kate smiled first then said surprisingly yes. Tony blushed and went straight to the bedroom.

"Tony" He quickly turned around "The couch" Tony smiled at her and said he knew that.

He slowly walked past her, unzipped his jeans, removed his shirt, socks. He was almost butt- naked  causing Kate to blush especially when she realized, he saw her standing there, almost drooling over him. She let out a girly smile and just acted like nothing happened. "you know Kate." He had no time to finish his sentence, embarrassed she said goodnight and closer her bedroom door.

At first David went to the hospital where they told him Mr Dinozzo had already gone home. Then he went to Tony's apartment but he wasn't there. By then David had figured out he was at Kate's place. It didn't take very long for David to find her place since he still had her wallet. He had watched them for several hours before he decided to play out his perfect plan.

2pm, that was what Kate's clock read in her bedroom. She had been awake for quite some time now. A part of her wanted to get some sleep while the other part desperately wanted to go and see how Tony was doing, if he was awake, if he wanted to talk or something. She waited till 2.15 before she went to her living room and woke up a snoring Tony.

"Kate? What's wrong." he asked with his eyes half open. His voice sounded tired which made Kate feel a bit guilty at the beginning for interrupting his sleep. "Nothing, I just can't sleep."

He made a gesture for her to sit next to him on the couch. "I understand."

He gave her a comforting smile which made her feel immediately more comfortable. Slowly he moved his arm around behind her, like he used to do when he was on a date in the cinema. An innocent beginning, definitely a not so innocent ending. This time would be no different. He switched on the tv and she relaxed by laying in his strong warm arms. He kissed her on her head and she moved more closely. "Tony?" "uhu"

"Thank you for saving my life today" When Tony said: sure, Kate sat up straight and made him look at her. "No, Tony, really thank you. What you did for me today and yesterday. I don't think I can ever repay you."

"I can think of some ways" She slapped him soft on the arm & he faked pain grin saying that she had really hurt him. Kate believed him and rubbed his arm softly, forcing her to come closer. Their lips were only a few inches away which Tony closed by moving even more closer. He kissed her passionate for the second time. At the beginning Kate wanted to fight it and tried to resist but his kiss was so good she couldn't. She really knew why so many girls were attracted to him for more then his looks. He treaded her with so much respect and with so much love, that it made her afraid.

He carried her to her bedroom and laid her carefully on the sheets. He was unbuttoning her shirt when she stopped him. He looked at her with an intense look which made her feel guilty for interrupting him. "What is it? Too fast?" He let go of her and wanted to give her some space. She wouldn't let him go too far. She still had her arms wrapped around his waist but for some reason she kept staring at the ground. With his hand he moved her chin so she would look him in the eyes. He asked her again if he went too fast. "No, Yes.. I.. I just don't want to be another person you can add on the list of girls I slept with."

She noticed the pain in his eyes. She had actually hurt him with comment. He then put back a strain of hair that had fallen before her eyes and smiled at her. He kissed her again then he said something she thought she'd never hear from him. "There are no words to describe how beautiful you are or how much you mean to me. You're my everything. I promise I'll change if that would mean I could call you mine." Kate blushed by his words and said she didn't want him to change and helped him unbutton her shirt further…

After some time Tony fell asleep but Kate was still awake. She couldn't sleep yet, she felt so happy, she was afraid if she'd fall asleep she'd wake up to find everything a dream. Suddenly she heard a knock on her door.
