Love Song
The day was over and the team were going out. As a collective group. Hetty smiled as she chaperoned the younger generation into a bar. It was not one of the flashy modern bars but an old piano bar. They laughed when they saw it, but Hetty warned them. She went up to the bar and ordered drinks and a private booth for the team. They all settled in and cracked into the drinks. Soon enough they were laughing around and Hetty felt very proud of herself. She had watched her babies nurture and in the end she had defeated her main battle. Love. Work took up most of their lives. At least Sam was married but Kensi, the one date only girl and Callen... She had fixed that though, the plan would all fall into place in a few minutes.
Bingo. The piano bar was open. They were calling for anyone who wanted to play.
"Miss Blye" Kensi looked up at her.
"Yes?"Hetty motioned towards the piano. Kensi went red. The rest of the team looked round in surprise.
"I never knew that you played the piano!" Callen looked at her in astonishment. Kensi gritted her teeth and sent Hetty death glares.
"How did you find out?" Hetty stared at her nails and smiled sweetly.
"Personnel files do wonders"
"Go on" Sam egged her on. Nate grinned and Dominic looked like he was going to laugh. Kensi stood up and walked over to the piano and microphone. The audience cheered and then quietened down. Kensi sat down and played and opening cord. She began to play, Love Song by Sara Bareilles, but better. The audience clapped along or sang along. The team were smiling. Callen's was the broadest; he seemed to be staring at her in a new light. Hetty smiled smugly to herself. Love, Check.
Callen stared at her. She was so natural up on the stage, so beautiful, whoa. Did he say beautiful? Yes he did, he loved her. Her work the way she could flip character and change personality but when she was on her own, she could be the perfect one. Herself. That was what she was now. She was perfect.
The song ended and there was a rowdy applause. She came down from the stage and sat back with the group. They cheered for her until Hetty called for calm.
"Ok bed, go on, go home." They laughed and cleared out.
Kensi got home and threw her keys on the counter. She put her bag down and walked across her living room to pick out some music. There was a knock on her door and she went back over to it. Looking through the peep hole she saw Callen. She opened the door.
"Hey G, you need a place to sleep." he nodded sheepishly. She laughed and let him inside. Soon enough the couch was made and he had settled down.
"You need anything, holler" Callen smiled and nodded. She walked back to her room and disappeared into her bathroom. Callen fought with himself for a minute before throwing of the covers and running through her room and stopped short at the bathroom. There was the sound of a tap running and someone brushing their teeth. He knocked on the door. She opened it, toothbrush in hand and covered in toothpaste.
"Yesh?" Her voice was slightly muffled by the toothpaste. Callen walked in, straight up to her. There was less than half a foot distance between them. Kensi seemed slightly surprised but wasn't complaining.
"You were beautiful tonight." Callen said, staring deep into her eyes. He leaned forward ever so slightly. Like magnetic they seemed to be drawn together. Suddenly Kensi stopped. Callen pulled back, feeling like a complete idiot,
"Sorry, I'll go" Kensi turned around and bent her head to the basin. Callen turned to go. Kensi spat out the toothpaste dumped the brush and ran after Callen. She grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him around, pulling him closer to him. She pressed her lips to his and kissed him. He could taste the toothpaste on her breath and kissed back eagerly. She pushed him into the counter and he chuckled. They both came up for air and Callen smiled. Kensi murmured,
"You're quite a talented man yourself."
