I'm so sorry I haven't updated this in like… a week! This week has been hell school-wise. I should really be studying now too but I've conned mum into giving me a day off on Wednesday to do some extra study then. Thought I'd get a chapter in while I had a spare hour.

The song I used in the last chapter was Just the Girl by The Click Five. It's an awesome song! My friend heard it when she was on holiday in Malaysia and emailed me to demand I download it. I love it. The one in this chapter is She's So High by Tal Bachman and the start of Bouncing Off The Walls Again by Sugarcult.

Well enjoy!

As soon as McGee's head hit the pillow, he was out like a light. Abby came out from her bathroom to find him curled up on the spare bed. She found herself smiling and moving closer.

Standing over him, she couldn't help running her fingers through his hair. He just looked so adorable.

He stirred, but didn't wake and she left the room quietly. In the kitchen she made herself a hot chocolate and padded into her own room, where she fell asleep almost as quickly as McGee.

Unfortunately for her, she'd forgotten to turn off her alarm so a few hours later the radio turned on and she woke with a start.

"It's a beautiful day, a top of 28 degrees and not a cloud in sight. Good morning, this is Barry Freybourne."

Abby stumbled sleepily into her bathroom to have a shower and emerged almost as perky as normal. Caffeine.

She bounced into the kitchen and put the kettle on to boil. She skipped back into her room to put on her make-up while she waited. Her radio was still on.

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound

Timothy McGee opened his eyes… then shut them again fast. He groaned and rolled over. He tried to open them again, this time more slowly. He felt a little sick and his head was a little foggy, but other than that his hang-over was low scale. He looked around the room, trying to get his bearings. He couldn't remember anything from the night before. Only driving Tony to a club, lots of loud music and girls… the rest was hazy.

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Yeah, yeah…

He lay there listening to the distant music. Where am I? Looking around, he took in the disturbing artwork on the walls, the black bedding, a studded collar on the table… Abby. His heart skipped a beat.

'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me

McGee couldn't get out of the bed yet. He didn't want to face whatever was out there. An angry Abby, an extremely perky Abby with embarrassing stories from last night, or… he didn't want to think of other possibilities.

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything

McGee closed his eyes again and listened closely. He could hear someone in the other room, presumably Abby. He was surprised, and glad, that her morning music wasn't quite as loud and angry as usual. In fact, he liked this song.

What could a guy like me
Ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be
Why should I even bother?

McGee grunted in appreciation of the lyrics. Abby was amazing, and he had to go and fall for her. Typical. He couldn't give her anything she couldn't get elsewhere. She was incredible and he was nothing special. She deserved better than him. And he just needed to accept that and get over it.

'Cause she's so high...
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high...
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high...
High above me

Everything Abby did, McGee was amazed by. He'd give anything to have her in his arms forever. He'd dreamed of it since he met her. He rolled over and noticed some photos on the shelf on the opposite side of the room. He got out of bed and went to look.

She comes to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal

There's a photo of Abby and a young blonde girl in her teens that McGee didn't recognize. They had their arms around each other and were laughing. Abby's whole face was lit up. McGee picked up another frame and chuckled softly. Abby was standing between the two older men with an arm around each of their shoulders. Ducky was smiling at the camera and Gibbs was smirking at Abby, who was glaring at him. The third frame held a photo that made McGee's smile broaden even further. It was a close up shot of her face. She was smiling a small smile. She looked as beautiful as ever.

But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

McGee stared at that photo until he heard the song finish, the radio get switched off and Abby clunking around in the room next to his. Suddenly the near-silence was shattered. A song started extremely loudly.

I'm bouncing off the walls again (woah-oh)

McGee chuckled and braced himself for whatever lie ahead as he opened the bedroom door.

To be continued… mwahahaha! I know I'm evil! But you love it so review!
