It was still only the both of them in the office, the music from Tony's computer could be heard around the whole office. Gibbs was no where in sight again. Tony was going through the box that Gibbs brought in looking for a file.
"Kate! Where did you put the file with the blue folder?" asked Tony as he searched through his pile of files looking for it. When he got no answer he asked again.
"Katie, the files, do you have it?" asked Tony, this time he looked up. Then only did he realized that Kate was asleep.
Tony let out a sigh and then leaned back on his seat as he took a look at his watch. It was 3.45 a.m.
And take a minute to reflect in your own way
Take your time and connect in your own way
I know it's good to be alone some days
But you got a long face in your own way, baby
I know you got a big heart in your own way
Independent and smart in your own way
And even though you get along somehow
You're missing out now in your own way, babyThe song was ending on Tony's computer. It was In Your Own Way by Caleb Kane. A recommendation by Abby, she heard the singer's song, This Close in a movie.
'Independent and smart in your own way' thought Tony to himself as he took a look at Kate. He took a handful of M&Ms from the packet on his table and popped it into his mouth. She was sleeping, resting her head on the desk, on top of a file.
'I hope she's not drooling in her own way' thought Tony. He couldn't see her face as her hair covered it up.
Everything he has heard on his computer that day seemed to remind him about the woman sitting behind the desk that was opposite of his. As if every song he heard was telling him that she was the One.
"My brain is playing games with me' thought Tony… it was either that or the computer was.
'Yeah right…As if computers can play games with my head! Darn it Matrix, you've made me paranoid!' thought Tony to himself.
A new song came on. It was Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleepingWhile you're far away dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure'Ok, this is creepy' thought Tony. This was just more proof that something is playing games with his head….or perhaps it was a hint that Kate and him were right for each other.
'Nah' thought Tony as he popped another handful of M&Ms
But then again, the song would totally fit this situation.
'Maybe I got whacked in the head too much' thought Tony as he tried to push that thought away. He told himself many times before, he and Kate would never work out. He doesn't want to do anything that could jeopardize the relationship he has with her now.
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing'How can I miss something I never had' thought Tony
Lying close to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
Yeah, he did like this moment. Where they were alone, she asleep, though the place where this is happening wouldn't be his first choice. And he did wonder if she was dreaming of him….or if she had ever dreamed of him.
Don't want to close my eyesI don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Tony walked over to her desk, and started to go through her files. He then found that the file he was looking for was….well, she was sleeping on it.
'God, I really hope she's not drooling' he thought
He pulled the file from under her and tried his best not to wake her.
'Good, no drool' he thought
He closed the file and place it by the table. And he squatted next to her.
I don't want to miss one smile
I don't want to miss one kiss
I just want to be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just want to hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time
He pushed her hair from her face, and ran his fingers thought her hair. He used his finger and poked her nose. And she reacted by twitching her nose.
'Cute' thought Tony as he let a small laugh escaped him. He poked her again.
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Then he realized that she was cold. He got up and took her coat that hung on her chair. He took it and put it on her.
He squatted next to her again. And wondered what to do next, and he saw a pen on the table… he could help her with a makeover
'She'd kill me' he thought as he smiled an evil smile. He could hear her breathing.
'Damn it, just like the song… are you dreaming of me?' he thought to himself.
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
I don't want to miss a thing'Ah what the hell, she won't know' he thought. And he leaned forward and gave her a kiss.
He was enjoying it until his cellphone on his desk rang.
'Damn it' he thought as he quickly backed off and ran to his desk to answer his phone. He looked back and saw Kate still sleeping. He sighed in relief.
"Dinozzo" he answered. It was Gibbs on the other end.
"We got a lead, get Todd and meet me at Abby's lab" Gibbs said and without saying anything else he hung up.
Tony put down the phone. And looked at Kate. Still sleeping.
Tony took a piece of unwanted paper, balled it up and threw it at her.
"Katie, wake up" he called
No reaction, he took another one and threw it all her.
"Katie!" he said, this time louder. She shot up and looked around the room as if trying to register what was happening.
"I fell asleep" she said tiredly.
"Yup" he said as he grabbed his coat. And took his M&Ms.
"Gibbs wants us at Abby's lab…now" he said as he turned off his media player on his computer.
Kate nodded and wanted to get her coat only to realize she already had it on.
'That's thoughtful' she thought to herself. She got up as she watched Tony as he popped another handful of M&Ms
'That man runs on sugar' she thought
She licked her dry lips. And her eyes widen
'Why the hell does my lips taste like chocolate?' she thought
And she gave Tony a weird look.
"Are we going?" asked Tony
"Uh…yeah" she said as she tried to recover from the shock.
'Did he kiss me?' she thought. And she could imagine it happen while she was asleep.
"Chocolate?" Tony offered as she walked up next to him.
Oooooh….I wonder what happens next….
