Chapter Two

CHRISTMAS DAY AND NIGHT OF THE PARTY

The hot shower seemed to calm down Kate Todd's senses. Few minutes later, she climbed out of the tub and put on her bathrobe. The cabinet door in her bathroom was opened and a hairdryer was removed. Once her hair was tried, she slipped on a pair of loose fitting jeans and an NCIS work shirt. Getting into her car, items for the dance in tow, and drove off towards Abby's house.

"Kate come in. Come in." Abby exclaimed excitedly ushering her in. Together the two, got changed and fixed their make up and tied their hair up. Two hours later, Kate and Abby stood in front of the mirror, admiring each other. Kate stood tall, shoulders back and head up high. Her silvery dress clung her at her waist and then dramatically flowed out like a fairy tale gown. Her hair hung in curls around her face, and her make up accentuated her brown eyes and fair skin. Abby stood tall as well on two inch black heels. Her crimson red off-the-shoulder dress elongated her long legs, and her make up brought out her fun side.

A black sleek limo pulled up to the grand hotel room. Two amazing looking women sauntered up to the steps of the lighted up reception room. The doorman couldn't help but staring at the women passing him by. Soon, Abby spotted the crew. Ducky, Tony, and McGee. Each were decked out in a wonderful three piece tuxedo, their hair neatly combed back. The music slowly engaged the few people who were brave enough to go out to dance floor. Kevin, who suddenly appeared out from the back, being one of them. He took Kate's hand gently in his and pulled her towards the gathering crowd. The two of them danced among the twinkling disco balls and flashing neon lights.

Tony noticed little details that were normal to others, but awkward to him. It was perplexing seeing Kate's hand entwined with some one. Her body pulled close towards another human figure that carefully twirled her. It was weird to see lights reflecting off Kate, making her seem more intense then normal. It was bizarre that Tony was actually in love with someone. Someone who didn't wear short skirts and tight tops. Someone who teased him every day. Someone who was as tough as he was, perhaps even more. Someone that apparently wasn't interested in him.

"Hey Tony!" Abby squeaked towards him. Her hand shot out of her cashmere shawl and handed DiNozzo a tall attractive glass of the classic Christmas drink. Egg Nog! Reluctantly, Tony took it in his hands. He looked down at his glass and then back at Kate smiling and in the arms of another man. Abby swiveled her head between Tony's gazes. It finally clicked in her head. Slowly slipping past, she walked towards Ducky. "Ducky!" She whispered mutely. "Well my dear, we can't do anything about it. We must let them figure it out themselves. It's the only way." Ducky alleged proudly in his British accent. Abby sadly nodded.

About an hour later, Kate walked towards the bar where Abby and Tony was seated and looking like they were in deep conversation. Her face was flushed red and her panting really heavy. "Wow! Kev is a good dancer. A really good dancer." Kate said heavily. "Sure…rub it in." Tony said to himself soundlessly. Kevin sauntered up towards Kate, wrapped his strong muscular arms around her waist and kissed her lightly on the cheek. In his arms, Kate turned just enough to give him a gentle but passionate kiss on the lips. "Going to get some drinks." Kevin replied sweetly and walked towards the concessions. Tony followed behind him with the excuse that he needed a drink too.

Kevin, a strong built man, stood by the drinks and sipped his egg nog while the woman at the counter handed him another one. He turned around and almost poured the two drinks in his hand all over Tony. Thankfully, he caught his balance at the right time. "Uh…hi…Tony right?" Kevin said unsurely. "Yeah. Tony DiNozzo, hey. You've got a gem of a something don't you?" He said, with a sly witty smile that, unfortunately, Kevin didn't recognize considering he's never met Tony. "What do you mean?" Kevin replied his eyebrows lifting up and obviously his curiosity setting in. "Well you do know Kate's secret right? I mean you've been dating it for quite some time now." Tony gleamed with enthusiasm seeing Kevin becoming uncomfortable. "Huh?" "Oh my Kevin. Well, I guess I should let you know the truth. I mean it's eventually gonna come out in the open." Tony gasped with fake tiredness as he bought himself another glass of egg nog. "Well. The truth is…Kate's really a guy. Sh…he is just another one of you and me. But he is still a great guy when you get to the know the real him. Guess he just wanted to let out his femininity forever." Kevin whipped his head toward Kate, who was laughing whole-heartedly with Abby and McGee, and couldn't seem to figure out who or what she really was. "I…had…I had no idea. Geez…I got to get away from her….him…bye. Tell Kate or whatever her name is that we are through please."

Before Kevin got the chance to even get through the hordes of people who were crowded around the refreshment table, Kate walked up to him and touched his arm gently. Kevin shrouded her hand off and gave her a dirty look. "Kevin…what's wrong?" Kate voiced worriedly. "Kate…look. Were through. I know your secret and I'm sorry that I had found out this way, but I can't spend the rest of my life with a guy whose now a girl. Bye" Kevin shook his head and left. Luckily no one around Kate, Kevin or Tony was paying any attention to them. Tony was grinning like an idiot, and Kate just stood there stunned, trying to register the words in her head.

Soon, Tony started laughing that people around him began to stare at him like he had lost his mind. Kate realized what was going on so she pulled him into a corner away from the people who would over hear them arguing once again like they mostly did everyday. "What did you do?" Kate screamed, her face in a fury. "I…just told him…that you were ….a guy." Tony gasped between snorts of laughter which he could not control any longer. "TONY DINOZZO! HOW COULD YOU?" "Kate. Come on. It was funny." "I DON'T GET HOW YOU FIND THIS FUNNY. THE ONE I THAT I TRULY FOUND AMAZING AND YOU HAD TO DO SOMETHING STUPID. DO YOU NOT LIKE TO SEE MY HAPPY OR SOMETHING? THIS IS THE LOWEST. I REALLY LIKED HIM." Light tears slowly streamed down her face mixed with sadness and anger. "Kate. Come on. It's not like you were in love with him or something…were you?" Suddenly, Kate remained stunned. Was she in love with Kevin. "I…I don't think so, but he was like one of the sweetest and most decent guys I've met." And with a huff she walked off away from Tony. "I'll make it you to you Katie." Tony called out after her. She looked back with a glare before running off towards Abby.

Sorry bout my chapters being so short..it's not meant to be as long as my other story.
