Chapter 7 – Fine dining and perfect lives…
Abby and McGee – Room 301
"What time is it Timmy?" asked Abby.
"Ah 7 o'clock." McGee answered.
"I might go get Ziva, Jenny, Breena and Jordan so we can get all glammed up for dinner. You can come get Tony OK." Abby said grabbing McGee and walking out their hotelroom door.
"Sure Abs." McGee said getting pulled out the door.
They walked down the hall to Tony and Ziva's room and they met Jenny and Gibbs on the way.
"Hey Gibbs, hey Jenny I was about to come get you Jenny and now we can get Ziva." Abby said speaking at her usual Abby pace. Jenny and Gibbs laughed at her antics.
The four of them walked down the hall and went to Tony and Ziva's door, Abby knocked but there was no answer, so she turned the handle, it was open so they walked in. Abby was leading when she all of a sudden came to a halt and the other three ran into her back.
"Abby!" the other three shrieked.
"Shhhh… look! Look! Look!" Abby whispered and the other three finally learned what made them all crash into each other.
Tony and Ziva lying down in each other's arms fast asleep. Ziva's arms wrapped around Tony's stomach with her head on his chest, then Tony's head on hers with his arms wrapped around her as tight as he possibly could. Both of them snoring their heads off, much to the amusement of the other four.
"I think your talk worked Jethro." Jenny said to her husband.
"What talk boss?" McGee asked both himself and Abby looking up at their boss curiously.
"I finally gave them my blessing to be together, seems to me they listened." Gibbs said, Abby's face just lit up and she screamed and jumped like a little kid into Gibbs' arms. Little did she know she woke Tony and Ziva up with her screaming.
"Are we having a party in here or something?" Tony said as he sat up, pulling Ziva with him.
"OMG are you two together? Like really together? Like a couple? OMG OMG OMG Yayyyy !" Abby was so excited she was just running and hugging everyone even Tony and Ziva who had still not completely woken up yet.
"Abby settle down, you pretty much just jumped on Ziva and to answer your questions, yes, yes and yes. We're together." Tony said looking up at Gibbs and then down to Ziva who was now awake and smiling up at him.
"What time is it?" Ziva asked.
"About 10 past 7. Have a good sleep Ziva?" Gibbs asked, most likely already knowing the answer.
"Very good sleep, thank you." She said looking up at Tony. "10 past 7, dinner is in 50 minutes I need to get ready." She said jumping out of bed.
"Yeah that's why I came, now all you boys out ! You to Tony, go !" she pushing Tony away, then McGee and Gibbs.
"Can I at least get my suit first Abby?" Tony said laughing.
"Oh yeah but hurry up." Abby replied. Tony just laughed and walked off. Ziva followed him saying she needed to go to the bathroom but the others knew better.
Ziva ran and followed Tony into the other part of the room; she basically jumped on to his back like she did at the beach except this time he did not fall over.
"You need to stop doing that you know baby?" Tony said laughing and twisting his neck so he could try and look at her.
"Hmmm baby, that's a new nickname." Ziva said sliding down his back onto the floor and then wrapping her arms around his stomach.
"Yeah well you're my girlfriend now I can call you whatever I want to call you." He said sounding cocky. He grabbed his suit from behind him and then wrapped his arms back round her, "I better go before Abby attacks me again, I'll see you at dinner." He said giving her a kiss.
"Ok, I love you." Ziva said, she liked being able to finally say that to him.
"Yeah, I love you too." He replied and they kissed again, this time for longer and deeper as well. They only broke apart when they heard,
"Nawwwwwww, so cute you two are finally together. Now leave Tony, I need to make Ziva beautiful." Abby had found them; Tony just smiled as he walked towards the other men. He suddenly turned back around and leaned over the doorframe,
"It doesn't take much to make Ziva beautiful." He said, winked and walked out of the room with Gibbs and McGee. Ziva just smiled and blushed, while Abby was jumping around the room,
"Nawwwww." She said for the millionth time this trip. "Come on, what dress are you going to wear to dinner we need something that will make Tony weak in the knees."Abby said dragging Ziva to her clothes that she had hung up in the wardrobe.
That's when Abby spotted it. The perfect dress. It was the perfect shade of blue for her, it was roughly the same colour they had seen her in when she went undercover as a singer in Morocco when she briefly went back to her father. The dress was strapless, long, but it had a slit straight up the skirt where her right leg would show. It was sexy but also dressy enough for a dinner.
"You're wearing this Ziva. It's perfect !" Abby said holding the dress out to her. "Now I am going to go into the other room and change into mine and you change here, then I will come back and do your hair and make-up." Abby was so excited, so Ziva obeyed and put the dress on.
A little while later Ziva was looking at herself in the mirror when Abby walked or in her case ran back in again, her jaw dropped when she saw Ziva in her dress.
"OMG, you look amazing that dress is amazing, Tony is going to die when he sees you !" Abby was smiling like a fool until she realised the look on Ziva's face, a mixture of shock and confusion. Abby immediately knew Ziva had not understood the 'Tony will die' expression. "Ziva, it means that he will be completely blown away because you look so amazing like he will be completely amazed." Ziva's face relaxed before she smiled and said,
"Thank you Abby, your dress is very nice too, very you." Abby smiled.
She was wearing a knee length black dress, it was revealing but not so much that it was distasteful. It has a big red silk bow around the middle and red material under the black material for the skirt of the dress. Very Abby.
"Thanks, now hair and make-up. You should not need very much because you're already hot so just your eyes and your lips and I have the perfect thing to do for your hair." Abby said as she got Ziva to sit down in front of the mirror.
…
20 minutes later Ziva was completely ready, she was wearing silver heals with her dress. Her make-up was completely natural a little bit of foundation that you could barely see because she already had the perfect skin, mascara, a light brown eye shadow that just enhanced her eyes and then a natural shimmery lip gloss. Then her hair was straightened like it was earlier but Abby had put some wavy curls through it and her fringe had been pinned up.
Abby was wearing her dress, black wedges and she had removed her dog collar. Her make-up was normal, black eyes and red lips and her hair instead of her signature pony tails was half up half down.
"We look hot and it is 10 to 8 so we better get going to the lobby, we are meeting everyone else down there." She said excitedly and practically dragged Ziva out the door.
The lobby – 7.50 PM
Down in the lobby Breena, Jimmy, Ducky and Jordan were grilling Gibbs, Jenny and McGee on the fact that Tony and Ziva were now together.
"It's about time though." Breena said laughing, Jenny started nodding.
"Yeah and it's all because Jethro finally let rule 12 go." Jenny added everyone just laughed.
"It was about time for that too. Everybody could see how much Anthony and Ziva wanted to be together especially me. The fact that they came to me all the time about how they felt if the other was dating someone else or if one was struggling with something, for example, Ziva with Somalia or Tony with the Jeanne situation or if the other was in danger, Tony especially was always concerned about Ziva." Ducky was explaining.
"Yeah but Ziva could always take care of herself." McGee said shocked about that statement.
"Yeah but when you love someone McGee your always worrying about them…" Gibbs started and was finished by Tony who had returned from the little boys room,
"… even if she is a ninja like Ziva. You should know that by now McUn-observant." Everyone else laughed at the nick name but received a glare from McGee.
"More Mc nick names Tony and again I'm not a ninja." Said Ziva's voice from behind him and Tony jumped like 3 feet in the air while everyone else just laughed.
"OK, I thought I said you couldn't do that anymore." Tony said holding his heart area. Ziva just laughed and shrugged her shoulders.
"I need something to keep me entertained." Ziva smiled a sexy but evil smile and the others laughed again before starting to walk towards the restaurant,
"Tea time you lot come on." Gibbs said, they all started walking before Tony quickly grabbed Ziva's waist and pulled her back towards him,
"I didn't get to tell you how amazing you look." Ziva smiled and blushed,
"Thank you but it's all because of Abby, she told me apparently you would die when you saw me." Tony laughed at how confused Ziva sounded by that expression.
"Yeah well she was right, like normal." Tony said before lifting her chin up and kissing her, Ziva wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. They only broke apart when they heard someone clearing their throat in front of them,
"Just because your together now doesn't mean you can play even more grab-ass than you did before you got together. Not in public anyway. Come on they have our table ready." It had to be Gibbs, who just smirked and walked away. Tony and Ziva smiled at each other and followed.
Casa D'Angelo – 8PM
"Yay Italian food." Tony exclaims and then licks his lips and rubs his hands together in anticipation.
"Yeah we just thought we would get Italian so we don't have to listen to you complain DiNozzo." Gibbs said and Ziva just smirked as they walked over to the round table of ten.
Going clock wise around the table it went; Jenny, Jordan, Ducky, Breena, Jimmy, McGee, Abby, Ziva, Tony and then Gibbs sat next to his wife.
They were all reading the menus deciding what they wanted; Gibbs had said Tony is going to have to order because you have to order in Italian. That's when the waiter walked up to them.
"Buona sera, avete deciso cosa ti piacerebbe ordinare?" he asked.
"Ciao, sì, stavamo per iniziare con antipasti e bevande. quattro birre, tre vini bianchi e tre vini rossi. Poi antipasti, tre antipasti angelo, tre zuppe del giorno, tre Calamari alla griglia su insaltina di pomodori dolci arrostiti e una Polpetta salsiccia su melanzanee peperoni arrostiti." Tony said in fluent Italian.
"Certo, saranno circa dieci minuti. Bevande sarà pronta in un minuto." The waiter said and then walked to the kitchen.
"Grazie!" Tony called after him.
"DiNozzo Bel lavoro." Gibbs said and patted him on the back.
"Grazie Boss." Tony replied.
"Molto bello." Ziva added, Tony turned and smiled at his new girlfriend.
"Grazie bambina. Ti amo." Tony said.
"Ti amo anche." Ziva replied.
"Nawww, even I know what that meant and I don't speak Italian, but can we go back to speaking English now?" Abby asked. They all nodded and even laughed.
Translations: "Good evening, have you decided what you would like to order?"
"Hello, yes we were going to start with entrees and beverages. Four beers, three white wines and three red wines. Then entrees; three antipasti angelo (An assortment of seasonal grilled vegetables and sliced buffalo mozzarella), three zuppe del giorno (Soup of the day), three Calamari alla griglia su insaltina di pomodori dolci arrostiti (Grilled calamari served over roasted sweet tomato and arugula salad) and an Polpetta salsiccia su melanzanee peperoni arrostiti (Meatball and sausage over roasted eggplant and peppers with fresh tomato sauce and basil). "
"Certainly, they will be about ten minutes. Drinks will be ready in a minute."
"Thank you!"
"Nice job DiNozzo."
"Thanks Boss."
"Very nice."
"Thank you baby. I love you."
"I love you also."
40 minutes later they were ready to order their main courses and another drink.
"Ciao per i nostri corsi principali possiamo ottenere;. Due insalate caesar, cinque lasagnette D'Angelo, due costata alla griglia do spadellata di peperoni e patate e tre Branzino mare Chiaro anche quattro birre, tre vini bianchi e tre vini rossi. " Tony ordered again.
"Tornerà a essere circa dieci-quindici minuti." The waiter answered and headed towards the kitchen.
Translations:"Hi, for our main courses can we get; two Caesar salads, five lasagnette D'Angelo (Angelo's special lasagna with meat ragout, homemade mozzarella and Parmigiano Reggiano), two costata alla griglia su spadellata di peperoni e patate (18oz. Bone in Rib Eye over roasted peppers and potatoes topped with crispy shallots) e tre branzino mare chiaro (Pan seared marinated Branzino with asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a garlic white wine sauce). Also four more beers, three white wines and three red wines."
"Will again be around ten to fifteen minutes."
"I cannot wait to have my lasagne." Ziva said. The whole team, especially Tony knew how much she loves lasagne.
"It can't be as good as my Nonna's lasagne recipe. Best lasagne I have ever had." Tony said and Ziva nodded in agreement.
"That is true your Nonna's lasagne is very very good." Tony and Ziva just stared at each other, which the others were all thinking the same thing. Abby said it,
"Tony has cooked his Nonna's lasagne for you." She asked.
"Yes, every time it is his turn to cook on our movie nights." She said with a big grin.
"Tony can cook?" McGee asked surprised, everyone else realised Tony had never cooked for them, it was always Ziva, Jenny, Gibbs or really anyone other than Tony.
"Yes he can. He is very good too." She said as she placed her hand on Tony's thigh and started moving her hand up and down. Tony just gave her an evil glare; she knew what she was doing to him.
"Knock it off you two." They heard coming from Gibbs next to them.
'How did he know' they were both thinking. 'Wait, Gibbs knows everything.'
"Yes I do." Said Gibbs again. Everyone looked confused what Gibbs was talking about, but Tony and Ziva just smiled at each other.
…
20 minutes later their main courses and fresh round of drinks had finally arrived. Each of the five girls were happily digging into their lasagnes, Ziva especially much to Tony's amusement who did not realise how much of a slob his girlfriend was. Ziva looked up to see Tony smirking at her,
"What?" she asked wiping some sauce from her chin.
"Nothing." He said laughing. "Is it good lasagne?" he asked.
"Yes, but not as good as yours." She said smiling, before she put some lasagne on her fork and put it up towards Tony's mouth for him to try. He helped guide the fork to his mouth and tasted the lasagne. He was just thinking and chewing for a few minutes when he swallowed and said,
"Your right, it's not bad but mine is way better. " The others just laughed, typical Tony.
"So Abby, this dancing thing you said was on tonight where is it." Breena asked.
"Oh there is one here, but it's like formal dancing but there are some nightclubs around if anyone's up for it?" Abby asked excitedly.
"Count me in." Tony said.
"Me too." Ziva spoke up.
Breena, Jimmy and McGee also nodded.
"Again I think you will leave the clubbing up to you young ones." Ducky spoke for himself and Jordan.
"Gibbs? Jenny?" Abby asked almost childlike.
"Come on it will be fun Jethro, I could do with a bit of a dance." Jenny was almost pleading.
"Yeah come on Boss, let lose, have a dance and ogle some hot girls." Tony started but then saw Ziva death staring him. "No one is hotter than you of course my Ninja." He said flashing his DiNozzo smile.
"Nice save DiNozzo, you wouldn't want 'your ninja' going all ninja on your ass." Gibbs said, mocking the ninja part. Ziva laughed as did everyone else.
"Right, main course is finished are we getting some desert?" Abby said like a kid at Christmas.
"I got it Abbs." Tony said and waved over a waiter.
"Ciao, possiamo avere dieci tiramisù per favour?" Tony asked.
"Certamente." The waiter said and walked away again.
Translations
"Hi, can we get 10 tiramisus please?"
"Certainly."
"Awesome I love tiramisu." Abby said getting excited. "Anyway, after we finish this us girls can go upstairs and change into dresses more club like and then we can go dance the night away."
"Abs why do you need to change?" asked McGee, oblivious to the ways girls minds work.
"Well McGee, for one these dresses are slightly too formal for a nightclub and secondly they are too long to dance well in as well." Ziva answered for her.
They looked over to see their tiramisus being brought out,
"Wow, the service is quick." McGee said, they only ordered like five minutes ago.
"Well Tim, usually in restaurants they make dishes up so when people order they get their food straight away, especially when it is desert. Also tiramisu takes a little while so they need to start it earlier." Tony answered. They all dug into the tiramisus and all had them eaten very quickly as well.
"Ok let's go change." Abby said practically dragging Ziva up by her arm.
"I'm coming too." Tony said standing up; the others all gave him weird looks. "What I'm wearing a suit it's a little formal. "He justified.
"Ok let's go." They all left, but Gibbs, Jimmy and McGee went straight to the nightclub and Ducky and Jordan headed to their room.
…
Room 312 – 10PM
10 minutes later Ziva, Abby, Breena and Jenny were all in Ziva's room with other dresses with them, Tony had already gotten changed.
He was now wearing a white dress shirt without a tie and with the cuffs undone, then black dress pants and a black leather jacket. He had also scuffed his hair up a little as it was gelled at dinner.
"Hey you look sexy." Ziva said to him pulling him down for a kiss and then playing with his collar.
"Thanks sweet cheeks. You want me to wait for you?" he asked.
"No you go, we still need to change." Ziva said.
"Ok well I'll go and save probie and autopsy gremlin from the boss man. What's this place called again?" Tony asked.
"Aura nightclub, no go away Tony, you won't be apart for long." Abby answered for him and then pushed him out the door.
"Bye." He called back through.
"Ok now Tony's gone let's change." Abby said and each girl went to a different part of the hotel room.
10 minutes later they all walked out to the main room.
Breena: She was wearing a short, 1 shoulder thick strap with a flower on it. It was hot pink, slim and suited her skin tone perfectly. She was wearing hot pink pumps to match. Then he hair was curled and out and she had on natural makeup.
Jenny: A brown, short dress with a flowy skirt. It had a 1 shoulder strap and a band around the waist with a white flower on it. She had on white pumps and her red hair was straightened and flowing perfectly. Her makeup was natural apart from the brown eye shadow and lip gloss.
Abby: Black, short and tight strapless dress. It has a V at the front so it showed off some cleavage. Abby was wearing black pumps on her feet. Her makeup was the same as it was at dinner, red lips and black eyes and she had taken her hair out.
Ziva: Ziva was wearing a black, wrap around strapless dress. It was short so it showed off her tanned legs and they looked even longer because she was wearing high black wedges. She had taken her fringe out so her hair was long and flowing and she had added some darker eye makeup so they now looked smoky.
"We all look hot." Abby said jumping around. "Let's go." And they left to go meet the boys at the club.
As they rounded the corner they noticed their husbands, boyfriend and friend standing their waiting for them. Though when they noticed the girls they were practically drooling.
"Wow!" was the only thing coming out of Jimmy Palmer's mouth when he saw his wife.
"Thank you Jimmy." Breena said laughing and they walked up into the club.
"Come on Timmy I wanna go dance!" Abby said and again grabbed McGee and basically running up the stairs even in the pumps she was wearing.
Gibbs kissed his wife's forehead and whispered in her ear, Jenny just smiled back and they walked up as well, leaving just Tony and Ziva.
Ziva looked and saw Tony just staring at her in his own little trance. She laughed and started saying his name,
"Tony,Tony, Tony." Tony suddenly snapped out of his trance to hear Ziva calling out his name and laughing at him. "Are you night dreaming or something Tony?" She asked and Tony laughed.
"Daydreaming baby and nah, I don't need to day dream anymore because I have all that I need right here in the real world." Tony said wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Yes, and what is that?" Ziva asked.
"Well great job, awesome friends, I'm on an awesome as hell holiday with those great friends and to top it all off I have a sexy as hell partner who I finally said I loved after loving her for seven years and she is now my sexy as hell girlfriend. Who right now is standing in my arms wearing an absolutely amazing dress which makes her look even more sexier than hell." He said ending with a massive smile on his face.
"My life's pretty perfect right now."Ziva blushed and put her arms around his neck.
"Mines pretty perfect as well, because of today that is." She said and she kissed him again, much much deeper this time. They were out there just kissing and holding each other for what seemed like ages, they finally broke for air. Tony let go of her but kept one arm around her waist, she wrapped one round his as well.
"Let's go get this party started." Tony said smiling at her and she just smiled and they walked up together into the club.
