Here's another chapter for you lovely reviewers….
Rina David opened the door to her mother's apartment, on Tuesday morning at 07.33; Abby had dropped her on her way to work. She did not want to disturb the occupant(s). Didn't they have to go to work today? She thought to herself as she made her way to her room, which was past her mother's bedroom. As she reached her mother's bedroom threshold, she did her best not to overhear anything, but the attempt was wasted as she heard her mother's laughter followed by Tony's. She locked the laughter out as she made her way to her bedroom and shut the quietly as possible.
It was 07.25 when Tony woke up, as he opened his eyes he realised that his bulb, wallpaper, carpet and even the bed sheets were different. Where wa…Ziva, he grinned as last nights images flashed in front of him. He turned to see Ziva, whose eyes fluttered open. She looked up at him and smiled.
"Good Morning" she said leaning up to kiss him.
"Morning. Careful Ziva I might get used to the morning kisses" He said grinning.
"I do not mind" Ziva said moving closer to him. Tony grinned.
"Didn't take you for the snuggling kind" he said draping his arms around her waist.
"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you Agent Dinozzo" Ziva said in business like tone.
"Oh… If anything it's not disappointment, Officer David" Ziva laughed, and soon Tony followed suit. Ziva's laughter died in her throat as she heard the wooden floor creek, she swallowed and looked at Tony, like he knew what was going on. Rina was back; oh she couldn't wait to go to work. Tony looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Rina is back" she whispered, Tony snickered "TONY" she said through gritted teeth.
"I'm sure it'll be fine…she'll probably act like a pro and completely ignore the fact that we spent the night produc…creatively" he said in a hushed tone, Ziva grinned. She got out of bed and walked into the en-suite bathroom, she turned around when she realised she wasn't alone.
"We have to get to work and we are going to be late…if you come into the shower…" she was silenced by his finger.
"I need to pee" Ziva scrunched up her face, and gave way. She walked towards her closet, where she exchanged Tony's shirt for a robe, before making her way into the living room. She stood near her bedroom threshold looking around to see if her daughter was there, what she found instead was her offended book and afghan on the couch. She bit one corner of her lip, before making her way to correct it. She suddenly felt like she wasn't alone, she turned around to see her daughter smiling at her; she smiled back as she tightened her robe.
"Boker Tov Ima"
"Boker Tov Rina" she mumbled before practically running into her bedroom. Rina grinned; her mother was acting like a goat caught at the traffic lights. She frowned, that did not make any sense.
Ziva sat on the impatiently fidgeting with her robe just as Tony entered the bedroom with wet hair and a towel around his waist. She raised his eyebrows at him. "I thought you had to pee" she said.
"I did and I also had to shower…by the way…where are my clothes…cos I'm gonna go home and get changed before I get to work…I don't wanna smell like sex" Ziva was completely quite, she was feeling embarrassed. What the heck was wrong with her, she thought to herself.
Tony realised that Ziva had suddenly turned pink. "Ziva…you look like a teenager having been caught having sex by her parents." He sighed "If I know your daughter well enough…I think she will completely ignore it. So should you." He said picking up his shirt from the bed.
"Why do I feel like this Tony? I mean it is not the first time I have had sex" she said looking at Tony who was putting on his belt.
He grinned "It's probably because you're close to her like a friend than a mother…and Ziva…it's the first time you are having sex with me" He winked. He was now fully dressed. He stood in front of her. "If you ignore it, she'll ignore it too" he bent down to kiss her, to which she responded sweetly, "I'll see you at work" he pecked again "Go shower, you smell like sex". Ziva laughed and walked into the en-suite.
Rina sat at the kitchen counter drinking tea, when Tony came out of her mother's bedroom; fully dressed. He sat on the couch pulling on his socks.
"Good Morning Tony" Rina called form her position.
Tony turned around "Oh…ha-ha…Morning…" Tony hesitated before asking "How was your night at Abby's? You sleep in a coffin?" he asked jokingly, as he finished putting on his shoes.
"No, the couch was much more relaxing…the coffin was too…eerie. How was your night?" she asked covering her smirk with the cup of tea. He raised his eyebrows at her, "I was just asking to be polite. Would you like some tea?" she offered.
"Nah, I'm good." He made his way towards her "Do me favour?" she nodded "Just pretend like you don't know anything, Ziva's really embarrassed" Rina smirked and looked away shyly. Great Tony thought. "I better get going" exit stage left. Ziva walked in, dressed for work.
"He is gone?" she asked walking into the kitchen, serving herself a cup of tea.
"Yes, but I have a feeling he'll be back" she said shaking his keys in her hand. Ziva smirked as she heard the door bell ring. Rina was about to go, when Ziva took the keys from Rina's hands and walked to the door
"I'll get it" She opened the door and smirked.
"Hey…have you seen…my keys" the last two words came out as a statement rather than a question as Ziva shook the keys in front of his face. Rina had leaned out to see the interaction. Tony put his hand out to take, but not before Ziva took it out of reach.
"Do I get a reward for finding it?" Ziva whispered, not wanting her daughter to hear. He leaned forward and kissed her, slowly and sweetly. She wasn't impressed.
"Ziva…" he said in a whining tone "We are gonna be late for work, and Gibbs is gonna kick my ass"
"Fine…I will see you at work" she said handing him the keys. He was about to go, when she pulled him back for a final kiss "good-bye" he shook his head as he walked out of sight, I'm so irresistible he thought. Ziva shut the door and walked back to the kitchen to see a grinning Rina.
"What?"
Rina's grin faded to a smile "When you return from work, can we talk? I have someone I'd like to talk to you about"
Ziva furrowed her eyebrows "Of course". She kissed her daughter's forehead, before going into the bedroom and picking up her bag for work. As she did so, a strip of material fell on the floor. She smiled Tony's tie. She picked up the tie and made her way to the door. "I will see you later Rina. I love you" Ziva smiled at how easily those words flowed out of her mouth.
"Ken, I love you too" with that Ziva left for work.
Ziva arrived home later that day to find Rina on the phone with someone. She walked into her bedroom contemplating her day; work was interesting for her, she couldn't stop looking at Tony, and she wanted him so badly. Every time she was lost in her moment, she would be snapped out by a paper ball to the forehead and a wink from Tony. She didn't know why Tony had that effect on her. She got changed into a pair of jeans and t-shirt, and she walked out to living room.
"Who was that?" Ziva asked taking a seat beside her.
"That is what I wanted to talk to you about" Rina said leaning back into the couch.
"About who was on the phone"
"Yes…" she hesitated before adding "His name is Jacob…he is a year older than me. He is funny, smart handsome. He will make you laugh at the most tensed moment, and you would forget all about why you were unhappy in the first place…I love him…I do" Rina turned to see her mother, who was looking at her with raised with raised eyebrows. "I have not…We have not…you know" Ziva laughed.
"I did not ask" Ziva said
"I know but…just in case you wanted to know"
"He loves you back?"
"Yes…" she sounded uncertain.
"You are uncertain…has he ever told you" this is exactly the reason Rina wanted to talk to her mother, Ziva had been there before.
"Erm no…but he acts like he loves me" She said looking into her mother's eyes.
"Everyone can put on a good act Rina" Ziva said taking Rina's hands "Do not let him misuse you"
"You think he is with me for other reasons?" Rina's eyes stung with tears.
"I am not going to sit here and tell you that you should or should not love him. I am simply saying that misjudgements can be harmful" Rina moved into her mother's embrace. She was going to miss her mother; she was leaving in 3 days. She couldn't stay here forever. Ziva returned the embrace "You are still young…you will find that right person at the right time" Ziva's voice came out in a whisper.
"I do not want to go" Rina said.
"Rina…I do not want you to go too…but your school starts next week. You must" Ziva said sadly.
"I am going to miss you Ima…and Tony"
"I…we will visit…I promise" Ziva said wiping her tears away and kissing her cheek.
