Kensi slowly pulled away slowly but didn't move away for several minutes. They finished washing the dishes in silence. When they finished Kensi explained she was tired and was going to bed. She slipped out of the clothes she had been wearing and into a t-shirt and some sweat pants.
She didn't fall asleep for another few hours. She couldn't pull her mind into what had happened. It was amazing, something she never thought would happen just happened in the kitchen of her safe house. Safe house, she hated those words. She didn't need protection she could take care of herself.
Finally giving up on sleep, she walked into the kitchen and made a small sandwich. When she closed the fridge door, she saw Deeks standing there.
"You couldn't sleep either?" he said not sounding at all surprised.
" Not a wink. That's not normal for me. Maybe because of my job but…" she realized she was rambling but she did that when she was nervous. He slowly walked toward her until he was a little more than an inch away.
"Is this about what happened earlier?"
"Isn't it?" There was a brief silence.
"Look, Kenz, there's something I gotta tell you, and I don't want you to freak…" he started to say before she cut him off.
"Deeks, I know what you're going to say. I heard you the other night after you came back from getting some rest at home."
He looked at her and she could see his face growing pale. He stood there, unable to move, not knowing what to say (although he rarely did).
"Oh… and…?" Deeks said hoping to hear the same thing back. He got nervous when she didn't say anything back. She began walking closer. She leaned up and kissed him.
"And there's my answer," she said pulling away. She walked away and back to her room. When she reached her door, the front door blasted open. She quickly opened her door and grabbed her gun off the dresser. She slowly came out of the room with her gun held out in front of her.
When she came out she saw a group of five men. Only one she recognize as Hazar, the terrorist they were chasing. Apparently he noticed her as fast as she noticed him, because in a quick second, he pointed his gun in her direction and began to fire. She went back into the room.
She heard more gunshots, grunting and small booms from when they hit the floor. She started worrying about Deeks. She came out and saw three of the five terrorists on the floor. One came around the corner. She quickly fired before he had the chance. She fired three rounds and all three went into his chest.
She turned around to be facing Hazar. He fired two rounds before she responded firing five. Both of his rounds hit her. One went into her shoulder, the other her stomach. But four of the five she shot went to his chest. She missed with the last one.
They simultaneously fell to the ground. The last thing she heard was Deeks calling her name.
Kensi awoke in the hospital. Deeks was sitting in the chair next to the bed. Her arm was wrapped and in a sleeve to elevate it. Her stomach was wrapped up too and it felt empty. Not that she was eager to eat though.
"Morning sleepy head," Deeks said as she attempted to sit up.
"Great, I'm back here again. Actually, this place is growing on me," Kensi responded jokingly trying to ignore the pain coming from her stomach.
"Yeah, talk about De Ja Vu."
"How did they find us?" she asked knowing the question couldn't be avoided much longer.
"Someone in the group was a hacker and got into the mainframe and exposed all of our safe houses. Guess ours wasn't the first one they checked." He reached over and took her hand. "I'm glad you're safe, Kenz. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"I love you, Deeks," she said knowing that she had never really said it before.
"I love you too, Kenz." He leaned over and kissed her. Guess the ten year rule, goes in affect now!
The End!
