Summary: "Cause when Leroy Jethro Gibbs makes up his mind, his mind is made."
----------------
When Leroy Jethro Gibbs sets his mind to something or when he wants something, he gets it. If he wants to find a dirt bag, he'll hunt him down. If he wants coffee as dark as night, he'll find someone to make it. If he wants to drive down a tiny country road at eighty miles an hour, then he'll risk his life to do it.
If he wants to make a beautiful brunette subordinate his, then he'll stop at nothing until he has her.
When Leroy Jethro Gibbs looks into a woman's eyes with gentleness, it only means one thing. If he finds every reason he can to stay at the office late at night, there's only one person he waiting for. If he lets his fingers linger over hands that are coarse from the work he's required of them, there's only one Agent they belong to. If he steals glimpses if chocolate hair and soft features even when he knows she's watching, there's only one questioning gaze he'll be given.
When Leroy Jethro Gibbs forgets his socks because he's thinking about a dinner with a woman he'd told himself many years ago he'd never get involved with, there's only one girl he's picking up eight. If he forgets how to secure a tie and button a shirt, there's only one reason his hands are shaking. If he's sweating before he gets to an apartment door, there's only one someone behind the door. If his stomach does flips before he rings a door bell, the only thing keeping him from turning around is a gut churning feeling that feels ten times worse that's telling him he needs her.
When Leroy Jethro Gibbs takes a woman to an expensive restaurant, he's hoping for a relationship to last more than a night. If he laughs and smiles at even the most horribly told joke, he's watching the sparkle in only one set of dark brown eyes. If he gazes deep into her eyes and makes the smallest touch of his lips to hers taste irresistible, Katie Todd is the only one gazing up at him and pulling his lips back to hers.
Cause when Leroy Jethro Gibbs makes up his mind, his mind is made.
