11) The Next Step

Kate was happy at Gibbs' place. Sure, she still slept next to him every night, but no, nothing happened. Just their goodnights then silence.

Lately, Gibbs had been very busy, barely seeing Kate at all. Being the gentleman he was, he decided to make it up to her by taking her out to a fancy restaurant.

Gibbs came home early, leaving Tony in charge (Uh oh), to take her out. When he came home, Kate was cleaning the kitchen, and when she heard him turned around in surprise. "Gibbs! What are you doing home so early?"

"Well, I heard that the Starlight Diner was open tonight and I got us a table." He smiled a rare smile.

Kate's eyes widened, her dazzling smile emerged she ran to give him a hug stopping short. Gibbs rolled his eyes and opened his arms as Kate squeezed him back. "What will you be wearing?" Gibbs asked. With that Kate sprinted upstairs to go through her dresses.

They ate happily through an expensive three course meal, laughing and telling stories along the way. Then Kate stopped the laughter. "What are we doing?"

Gibbs swallowed. "We're eating at a fancy restaurant, telling weird stories I don't think present company should hear and having a good time." Gibbs summarised.

"No, Gibbs. What are we doing?" Kate put more emphasis on the 'we'.

Gibbs looked up from his steak. "What do you want us to be doing?"

Kate looked at him. "Honestly, I don't know." She smiled, wiping the edges of her mouth with the napkin.

Gibbs inclined his head. "Well I don't know either." He said smartly.

She threw her napkin at him laughing. "You're so... different." She looked at him.

"I think I have a touch of charm in me tonight." He replied, taking a sip of his wine.

"I think you are just touched my self." Kate smiled. Gibbs looked at her, his blue eyes piercing her brown ones, then he looked away quickly. Kate frowned a little and kept going with her meal.

They pulled up at Gibbs' house. Gibbs turned the ignition off and was about to get out when Kate grabbed his hand. "Are you sure you don't know?" Kate asked.

Gibbs sat back in his seat. "Oh, I knew. Your eyes told me everything. You know I can get a feel for a person, just by looking in their eyes. And your's we're like an open book." Gibbs stared out of the window.

"Well?"

"Well what?" Gibbs replied.

"Are you? Are you going to do as my eyes asked or ignore them?" Kate tried to look into his eyes, but he avoided hers.

Gibbs then decided what to do. He looked at her. "I will. But nothing else." He whispered. The got closer, their noses touching, then all Kate felt was lips working hers. Then Kate was quite sure that the world stopped, just for a moment...

AN- TA DA! How was it? Sorry if you didn't like the kiss, but I was getting a wriggle on lol REVIEW
