"I had a good time today tony" ziva said in the car on their way back to the hotel.
"Am glad zi" smiled tony "it's the most fun I have ever had at one of the reunions"
"Your family is very friendly" said Ziva "they are very funny, the stories they told me had me crying with laughter" Ziva said thinking about the stories she was told.
Tony just smiled at Ziva "should I tell her now, no I will wait until we get back" thought tony.
"Just tell him David, we have had a good few day together, just forget all you have been taught and take the chance" Ziva kept thinking.
Arriving back at the hotel they parked the car and went up to their room.
"Do you want to go out for dinner Zi? Asked tony "I have something important to tell you"
"I would like that tony" replied Ziva "I will just go and take a shower" "tonight at dinner is your time to tell him and to find out if he feels the same"
Ziva came out of the bathroom showered and changed to find tony asleep on the bed. Deciding to have a look at the photos tony had taken at the party she went to get the camera out of his pocket, instead of a camera though she pulled out the velvet box, opening the box she gasp, the ring was absolutely gorgeous.
"It was my mother's" said tony coming up behind her "my gamma give it to me, she said it was my mother's last wish for me to give it to the only girl that could keep me in line"
"Am sorry tony I was looking for the camera" Ziva shyly whispered, not taking her eyes of the ring.
"Its okay zi" tony said looking at her closely.
"So who is the lucky girl" Ziva asked her heart breaking.
"oh she is amazing, sexy the most beautiful women I have ever met" said tony making Ziva's heart broke even more "she is kind, caring, she can always makes me laugh, she can make my heart stop whenever she walks into a room, every time she smiles at me I just melt, she has me wrapped around my little finger"
"She sounds lovely" said Ziva trying to not let him see how much this is affecting her "I am to late he love this other woman, this amazing woman and there is nothing I can do about it" thought Ziva trying her hardest to hold back her tears "you must really love her"
"I do, more than anything in the world, she is my soul mate" smiled tony with love in his eyes.
"Oh god, I really am too late" thought Ziva.
"She is one of the strongest people I know, she can keep me on my toes and kick my arse any day of the week, she also scares the crap out of me" tony laughed looking at her.
Ziva trying her hardest not to cry said "she sound perfect for you"
"Oh she is" said Tony taking the ring out off the box "can I try something" he asked looking her in the eyes.
"Try what" asked Ziva her voice cracking a bit "keep it together David; don't let him see your cry"
Tony took Ziva's hand and slid the ring on her finger "I just want to make sure it fits" said tony smiling at her.
Ziva did not know what to say was he asking her to marry him or was he just playing one of his jokes. Ziva just stood there not knowing what to do, finally letting her tears fall, Ziva was so heartbroken he loved this amazing woman and was just been plain mean, she just didn't care anymore.
"It has always been you" said tony lifting her head to look at him and wiping away her tears, Ziva just looked at him, finally noticing that the love that was in his eyes was for her and not anyone else "I have loved you since the 1st day we met" said tony leaning down to kiss her.
"Oh my god, oh my god" Ziva kept thinking "is this actually happening"
Tony looked at Ziva she had not said a word, tony starting to panic that it was to soon went to take the ring back "am sorry it is too soon" he said.
Ziva pulled her hand away before he had the chance to pull of the ring "you can't put a ring on a girl's finger, and then take it back" said Ziva finally coming out of her trance.
Tony just looked her in the eyes seeing all the emotions, hope, fear and the one that stood out the most was love "so does that mean what think it means" tony asked hopefully.
"I don't know, you haven't asked me anything yet" Ziva smiled sweetly.
Tony smiled back and took her hand getting down on one knee "Ziva, we have been through a lot together over the last 5 years, there has been lots of good times and bad but we have always come through it together, you make me want to try and be a better man every single day, you have changed me for the good, I could never live without you in my life. I love you Ziva more and more every single day and I want to spend the rest of my life showing you how much. Ziva David will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me"
"Yes" was all she said rapping her arms around him. Tony stood up and kissed her. All the love they both felt was put into that one kiss.
"I love you Ziva David"
"I love you to Special Agent DiNozzo" smiled Ziva kissing him again.
They decided to miss dinner that night and just spent the night in each other's arms.
