I know I said there was another two chapters; but I have changed my mind. This is shorter because it is the epilouge. I changed my mind because I have another story I want to publish and I was closest to finishing this, and there is no way that I would be able to handle seven stories at once... I can barely handle six.
I think its a pretty weak ending but I couldn't think of any other way to end it.
Disclaimer: Not Mine.
Ziva hadn't slept with anyone since Tony told her to make her decision. She needed time. All she did was think, go to work, and come home.
Ziva had done nothing special for Ray's return. She had made her decision and now she had to tell him. She couldn't hold on to the false hopes that were being promised, the long times away with little or no communication.
When he walked into her apartment she told him that they needed to talk. She could tell from the look on his face that he knew what was coming.
She explained about the way she felt toward him being gone for long periods of time and that it wasn't permanent which was something she was beginning to crave in her life, she couldn't stay with someone who wasn't going to be there. It would end up seeming as if she was in a part time relationship. Then she began talking about her greatest mistake through all of their relationship.
To her surprise; he looked unsurprised. He sighed before saying that he had known something was wrong and that he wasn't surprised that she had turned to Tony to look for what she didn't have when he was away. Before he left, he turned to her and said, "I don't know why I kept holding on. Your heart had always belonged to someone else,"
She spent that night alone. She had to tell Tony now that she had made her decision, but the ball would remain in his court. As wrong as cheating on Ray was, it didn't feel right going to his house and sleeping with him.
She was lucky it was a weekend; tomorrow was Saturday. She was going to spend the rest of Friday night alone, then go to Tony's house at a reasonable hour the next day.
The next day at around five she knocked on Tony's door. He answered it rather cheerfully and invited Ziva inside. She didn't walk straight to the lounge; instead she walked to the table and Tony sat down across from her.
He offered her a drink and she accepted and they spoke of trivial things until she said, "I told him," She stated, "Everything. From a few reasons why, then about you,"
"How did he take it?" He asked.
"Well. To well for my liking. He said that he was unsurprised that I turned to you and he knew something was up," Ziva said.
"So that means you've made your decision?" He asked.
"Yes. I think that we should leave it a few months before doing anything. It is not fair on you or him. After a few months you can decide what you want to do. Whatever you choose; I will not argue against your choice," She said.
He nodded understanding what she was saying.
By this time it was nearing six-thirty. She stood to leave, she said goodbye and walked to the door. She had her hand on the doorknob when she was spoken to next, "Ziva, do you want to stay for a movie? Just as friends. I was going to start one before you came," He asked.
She thought about it for a minute. Just as friends. Just a movie. She nodded as she turned to face him and walked to the lounge.
Around a year after she had broken up with Ray, Tony and Ziva started things over again. Properly. No one else in the picture.
They enjoyed each others company when they knew the other wasn't going to leave the next day to go to someone else.
And Tony got his wish; he no longer had to share.
Thank you for reading. I'm sorry for the delays in the updates and all. I will be posting the story I was talking about before after I find a title if you're interested. Also feel free to have a look at my other stories :)
