A/N Thank you for all the wonderful reviews and thank you especially to all of you who commented about my use of phrases from British language. I've learnt quite a lot researching British and American colloquialisms, it's been absolutely spiffing if I do say so myself. (Read in posh English accent!) I hope you enjoy this addition, it's got a cliff-hanger so good luck! P.S- I don't like tea.

Nell had surprised Kensi, having planned a meal with her partner without her friend's knowledge. Little did Nell know that they were now officially together so the situation was very different than she had imagined. Kensi had opened the door to a very surprised Deeks and she herself was very bemused at the sight of him in Nell's doorway.

After a few awkward moments and silent expressions were exchanged Nell broke the silence and invited Deeks into the house. As Deeks squeezed past Kensi in the doorway, Nell walked back into the kitchen, the smile on her face still obvious as she realised that there was definitely something going on between her two friends. Once Nell was clear of the hallway, Kensi punched Deeks hard in the arm.

"What are you doing here Deeks? It was meant to be just me and Nell tonight… Ooh, she's been crafty this time, she always thinks there's something going on between us and she tricks us into things."

"Well, she has reason to be suspicious doesn't she Princess. We are together now aren't we?"

Kensi's expression warmed as Deeks mentioned their newly formed relationship.

"Yes we are." Kensi replied through a smile before leaning up towards Deeks to initiate a kiss.

But Deeks stopped her before she could.

"I don't think we should show any signs of affection. Even though all I want to do is snog you right now, knowing Nell she's got cameras hidden everywhere. She could be watching our every move and if you kissed me right now, who knows how little time it'd be before the whole team would know?"

Kensi nodded in agreement, she was inches from his lips but she had to restrain herself. Deeks was right, Nell was shifty and the evening's events had already proved that.

Instead of kissing Deeks, Kensi just settled for a quick bum squeeze before walking off back to the living room. She left Deeks in an awkward state, slightly aroused in his colleague's house.

After a few minutes of chatting in the living room, the three friends were surprised by another ring at the doorbell. Nell knew who it was however, her partner, Eric was at the door.

"Sorry guys, last surprise, this time its Eric. The rest of the team weren't able to come so I decided a meal for just the four of us would be perfect before we headed off for the holidays." revealed Nell.

She walked over to the front door and let him in, he joined Deeks and Kensi on the sofa whilst Nell finished preparing the main. She then called them over to enjoy the starter.

The conversation flowed easily between the four friends but the topic of Kensi and Deeks' and Nell and Eric's relationship always managed to avail the diners. They were all consciously aware of the tension between each couple, it was mainly sexual tension that burned up at work. However now they were in a more casual setting the connections between the partners seemed more obvious. Whenever Nell spoke, Eric would listen intently to every word and vice versa across the table. Kensi and Deeks shared secret glances between each other throughout the courses. Of course each individual recognised what was going on but nothing was ever mentioned.

After the main course, Kensi offered to prepare the dessert that she had brought along. Nell gladly let her take over the hosting as she was tired, especially after all of her scheming. Kensi walked out of the dining room and down the hallway to the kitchen. She stood in the kitchen and looked out of the window, giving herself a rest from all the restraint she had had to cope with throughout the evening. It was dark and raining, but not extremely heavily, Los Angeles rarely had storms but tonight was an exception. The sea breeze had picked up into a strong wind and the news bulletins last night had warned of unseasonably high tides and hurricane force gales.

The weather didn't worry Kensi, in all the years she had lived in California there hadn't been many major storms, but however she could be proved wrong by the evening's upcoming events.

As Kensi stood in the kitchen she was surprised for the second time that evening by Deeks' appearance. Arms snaked around her slender waist and a tall muscular body pressed into her back. She knew it was Deeks before he even came close to her, having been partners for 5 years now she could always recognise his presence.

Kensi tensed slightly, with the knowledge that Nell could be near made her wary and slightly terrified. However Deeks calmed her be whispering in her ear.

"Don't worry Fearne, Nell and Eric are safely in the living room. The conversation got a bit more personal between them when you left so they didn't mind when I offered to help you in the kitchen."

Kensi felt relief as she realised she would get a few moments alone with Deeks without their colleagues noticing. She took full advantage of the situation right away. She turned around, allowing Deeks hands to remain around her waist and then she put her own hands on his ass. Kensi seemed to be obsessed with Deeks' bum, but he wasn't concerned, he kind of liked it. She stood up tall on her tiptoes and kissed him hard on the lips and as the kiss deepened within a few seconds her hands travelled round to the front of his body.

After a few minutes of embracing in Nell's kitchen Kensi could obviously feel Deeks' excitement. However there was nothing either of them could do about it. In no reality could Deeks and Kensi get away with anything more than kissing in Nell's house. She had some kind of radar for personal contact, and Eric was catching on as well. Every time the couple shared a personal moment, whether it was undercover or even in OSP, Nell and Eric always seemed to interrupt.

Realising that this could easily happen again, Deeks broke the kiss, perhaps allowing himself to calm down and let certain parts of his body recover from their short yet intense make out session.

The pair then decided it was time to serve up dessert, especially knowing that they'd wasted a few minutes and Nell and Eric next door would probably be getting suspicious. Kensi had brought Eton Mess, which she had loved ever since her trip to London a few years ago. She began to serve up the meringue and strawberry desert and Deeks watched her from the other side of the kitchen.

He loved to watch her work, but he was bored at that moment. So he decided to have a bit of fun. He dipped his finger into one of the bowls of Eton Mess, then he sneaked around to the side of her and then he proceeded to wipe the desert across her cheek. She screamed in surprise and disgust but her reactions were quick and within seconds she had grabbed a small handful of the cream from the bowl and she had smeared it across Deeks' face.

Deeks responded by licking it off his lips to distract Kensi, and at the same time he dipped his hands into the container behind her. He then brought them up her face to show her. She gasped and then he swiftly moved his hands back down and placed them on both of her bum cheeks. Kensi gasped again and the adrenaline was now pumping through her blood. She tried to end the food fight by picking up a whole bowl of desert and then dumping the entire thing on Deeks' head.

He opened his mouth wide as the cold cream and strawberry ran down his face. He was about to say something, probably insulting before Kensi interrupted. She grabbed his sticky face and pulled him in for yet another kiss. He was silenced by Kensi's soft lips.

Over the noises of screams and gasps in the kitchen were the sounds of the storm brewing outside. There were hardly ever storms in Los Angles, but now that it was December the conditions had gotten milder and the wind had picked up

After having been caught in the heat of the moment, Kensi and Deeks did not hear the footsteps in the corridor that led to the kitchen door. It was Nell, she had got bored waiting for her dessert and so had Eric. She headed along the hallway, expecting to find the next course ready in the kitchen. As she began to open the door to the kitchen she heard a large roll of thunder.

She was very surprised at the sight in front of her as she entered the kitchen. There stood her two friends, embracing in a long and obviously passionate kiss. She saw them for a split second before there was an almighty bang that sounded from outside the apartment.

Then the power went off, and the house was plunged into darkness.
