Second chapter is here! I couldn't find a song to fit how I wanted this chapter to go, so it has no song to it.


"Well, at first I thought you were joking. But I have to confess…"

Ziva felt his eyes stare into her. She couldn't hold off answering this question too much longer. She stepped back against the elevator buttons. Ziva felt behind her for something, anything that would buy her some time. Truth is, she doesn't know how she feels about him. There's no way I'm going to tell that to him, she told herself.

"Ziva, you can't hold off on answering me. We're trapped in this elevator until you do." He obviously didn't notice that she switched the elevator back on. Ziva cursed herself for even responding to his question. She had nothing to confess, so why did she say that she did?
"Tony, I-"she was cut off by the ding of the elevator. She saw Tony staring at something and followed his gaze right to Gibbs. Thanks a lot, Gibbs, she thought gratefully, now I don't have to answer him yet. Tony, however, didn't look nearly as pleased to see their boss standing there.

Tony looked over at the opening elevator doors. When did it get switched back on? He thought, mentally kicking himself for not noticing what Ziva had done. He saw Gibbs looming in the opening. Thanks a lot, Gibbs, he thought angrily, now I can't find out what she was about to say.

"Am I interrupting something?" Tony was snapped out of his spiteful thoughts by Gibbs's voice. He opened his mouth to reply, but Ziva was quicker. "No. I accidentally switched the elevator off earlier but that situation has been rectified." Tony stood dumbfounded as Ziva slipped past Gibbs into the parking garage.

"Well, Dinozzo? Are you going home or are you just going to stand in the elevator?" Gibbs blue eyes bore into Tony as if he were trying to see into his soul.

"I'm…See you later, boss." Tony said as he slid past Gibbs. Gibbs couldn't help but shake his head at his senior field agent hurrying through the parking garage after Ziva.

Tony hurried past rows of parked cars to try and catch up to Ziva. Thanks a lot for delaying me Gibbs, he thought as he ran past a red Ferrari convertible, Now I'm not going to be able to catch her in time. He spotted Ziva getting into her car about ten cars ahead. Piece of cake, he thought. He sprinted to her car just in time.

Ziva heard something hit the left side of her car. She looked over and saw Tony trying to open her door. Sighing, she rolled the window down. "What do you want?" she snapped. She was going to miss Assassin Secrets(A/N: I thought it'd be a show that Ziva would enjoy) because of him for the third time this month. She mentally kicked herself for forgetting to TiVo it. "You never finished your thought," Tony panted, clearly out of breath for trying to catch up to her. "Tony, you're going to make me late for my friend's party," she lied, "So leave me alone and I will tell you tomorrow." "Fine," he replied, "But you better keep your promise." Tony stepped back and watched her drive off, leaving him not only alone, but also anticipating her response.


I know, it's short. The next chapter will hopefully have a song to go with it.
