I'm back with another songfic! I know I have other stories to update, but this idea wouldn't leave me alone. Enjoy!
Song: Jolene - Dolly Parton
Characters: Col. Mann and Jenny.
Summary: Col. Mann has a talk with Jenny.
Side Note: This is one of my favorite songs by Dolly Parton. The lyrics seem to be very fitting for these two ladies. As always, please listen to the song. It isn't necessary, but it might help you understand the story. In addition to Drama and Hurt/Comfort, there may be some angst in the story as well.
Usually, I don't get upset when Director Shepard and Gibbs are in the same room. However, that's changed. Lately, there's been more and more shared looks, slight touches and he puts his hand on the small of her back when they enter the elevator or any doorway. Then he flirts with her. He never really flirts with me, not the way he flirts with the Director.
In a last ditch effort, I decided to try and talk to her. I need her to know, that my happiness partially depends on her.
Director Shepard was standing by Ziva's desk, discussing something. "Director, may I have a word with you?"
Once we entered the elevator, I started to speak. "I'm begging of you please don't take my man."
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
Please don't take him just because you can
The Director looked at me with shock, and whether or not it was feigned, I couldn't tell. "I beg your pardon, Colonel?"
I sighed with frustration, "Aren't you aware that beauty is beyond compare. With long flaming locks of auburn hair, with ivory skin and eyes of emerald green, you could entrance anyone, choose whomever suits you fancy?"
"I am aware that I am somewhat beautiful, but I really doubt that I am that beautiful."
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
"Honestly, I cannot compete with you Jenny."
"What do you mean?"
She's blissfully unaware of their connection. Jenny seems to be an observant person, how could she not notice? "Jethro... He talks about you 24/7, even in his sleep. I think Jethro still loves you."
And there's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name
Jenny
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
"You don't have a clue on what he means to me, do you," I paused when I noticed Jenny had zoned out, "Jenny?"
She rubbed her hand down her face in a nervous manner, " No. I haven't noticed because I've buried my feelings for Jethro and have been throwing myself into mountains of paperwork and drinking myself into oblivion with bourbon. Just trying to forget about him."
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Please don't take him just because you can
"You could have your choice of men. But, me? I could never love again. You don't understand, Jenny. Jethro's the only one for me."
I low-key felt sorry for her when her face twisted into a look of sadness.
"I didn't intend to make you cry, but I had to have this talk with you.My happiness depends on you, and whatever you decide to do, Jenny."
I'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny
Please don't take him even though you can
