Chapter 10

Abby waited patiently for Gibbs to emerge from the shower. She so wanted to join him but he had made it very clear that it wouldn't be a good idea. She needed to shower again! She only wanted to help with water conservation but obviously Gibbs wasn't into saving the planet!

She heard the shower stop. "Gibbs, any idea where you taking me on our first date. I need to know what to wear. I've only got a clean change of t-shirt and jeans here. If you're taking me anywhere expensive I need to go home first to change."

Gibbs padded out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist. Abby thought she had never seen him so sexy. "I'm taking your out for a late brunch but we could go pass your place this afternoon so you can pick up some stuff. You definitely need a dress for when I take you out on our second date" said Gibbs mysteriously.

Abby squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I can't believe we're actually dating, it's so exciting".

An hour later, Gibbs and Abby were sitting in a diner in Georgetown finishing their brunch.

"I'm stuffed" said Abby as she put the last French fry on her plate into her mouth. Gibbs just smiled and took a sip of his coffee. "Not bad for a first date, I love Georgetown it's so old. I've found that I'm developing a taste for older things these days." Abby reached over to Gibbs and placed a soppy kiss on his lips. "I so like the taste".

Gibbs returned the kiss, teasingly running his tongue along her bottom lip before pulling away. "If we're talking about age, I've definitely taken a liking to the gothic period".

Gibbs stood up, "If you've finished Abs, I'll go and pay the cheque"

Abby admired the view as Gibbs walked towards the counter to pay. She loved Gibbs when he wore causal. He looked so gorgeous. He was wearing jeans, a light blue v-neck, which matched the sapphire of his eyes, his usual white undershirt and his black Carhartt hoodie. She just loved the look but not as much as she like the look of him naked. Abby's mind started to drift back to the image of Gibbs in a towel.

"Abs, catching flies", so caught up in her reminiscing Abby hadn't realised that Gibbs had returned to their table. "Catching flies?"

"You were doing a good impress of a frog there, with your mouth hanging open".

Abby began to pout, "I was appreciating my boyfriend's assets and thinking of what I plan to do with them later"

Gibbs raised an eyebrow, "Your boyfriend must be a very lucky man"

Abby smiled seductively, "Oh, he is and I will show him exactly how lucky he is later"

Tim McGee was sitting at his favourite table in his favourite coffee bar. He came here often to get inspiration for his books. The table was next to a window with a clear view of the sidewalk outside. McGee loved people watching, it gave him inspiration for the characters in his books.

McGee's attention was drawn to a couple on the other side of the street. They were holding hands and the girl was laughing at something the man said. They stopped in front of a shop window directly opposite the coffee shop. The girl pointed something out to the man as he placed an arm around her waist. The girl leant into the embrace and was rewarded with a kiss to her head. The man whispered something into her ear which made the girl turn around to look into his face. From where McGee sat he could clearly see the expression on her face, it was pure unconditional love. He felt his throat constrict, he never seen that look before. He couldn't see the man's face but that didn't matter as he was only interest in the girl. He watched as she put her arms around the man's neck and drew him into a deep kiss. McGee felt his heart miss a beat, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, his Abby was passionately kissing Gibbs. He turned away from the window and looked down at his cup of coffee. His Abby with Gibbs, he wondered how long it had been going on for? They were always very tactile with each other but so was he and Abby. He could feel the jealousy burning up inside of him. What right had he to feel jealous? They hadn't been a couple for years and they had both dated other people since then but he had never felt jealous before. He suddenly realised what it was, it was because Abby was now with Gibbs. He always hoped that maybe one day they could get back to being more than friends but now Abby was with Gibbs that was definitely out of the question. He turned and looked out of the window again hoping to catch a glimpse of them, just to confirm that what he saw was real, but they had gone.
