Sorry that it took me so long to write this chapter but I had to rewrite it at least 3 times and I think that it still didn't come out as I wanted it to.
Anyway…here's the new chapter.
Please let me know what you think about it.

TANGLED UP IN ME
CHAPTER 3
Kensi woke up the next morning and noticed right away that she wasn't home. It took her a few seconds to notice that she wasn't alone either.
She felt Callen's strong arms around her and that made her feel safe and protected. She loved that feeling and it had been a long time since she had had it.
Kensi remembered every single word and touch from the night before.
She had completely broken down in front of him and the weirdest thing was that she didn't feel ashamed because of it. Callen had comforted her in a way that she was sure that no one else could.
She remembered all the sweets words that he had whispered in her ear while stroking her back in an attempt to calm her down; she remembered how he had lowered them both onto the couch while keeping his arms around her; she remembered how sweet and caring he had been.
Kensi smiled and stood like that, in his embrace, with her head in his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
She also remembered the night of their undercover mission. That simple kiss had made her feel alive. She had actually felt a spark when their lips touched.
She wanted more.
She wanted Callen.
That realization med her smile and freeze at the same time.
What if that kiss hadn't meant anything for him?

Callen woke up and looked down at his chest.
Kensi was still lying next to him, with her head still resting on his chest.
He had his arms around her and it felt incredibly good.
She was the most amazing woman that he had ever met (and he had met quite a few while working). She was strong and fearless but also feminine and absolutely gorgeous. The way that her curls fell around her always made him wonder exactly how long it took her to comb her hair like that in the morning.
She almost never wore makeup but that was also because she didn't need to wear it.
She was still beautiful without it.
Callen looked at her body and smiled.
Her body was amazing too but he didn't want to think about it because then he would have a «below the waist» problem and she might notice that, which would be embarrassing for both of them.
Callen knew that she was already awake.
She was drawing patterns in his chest with her finger without even realizing that she was doing it.
He knew a lot of things about her: he knew that she always spoke with her mother in Portuguese; she always rolled her eyes when Eric got a new toy; she always curled a strand of her around her finger when she was thinking about something that had happened; she always bit her lip when something made her sad.
He decided to let her know that he was awake. He stroked her arm lightly before saying:
"Good morning!"
She didn't look at him but answered anyway:
"Good morning!"
She got up and went to check her watch without looking at Callen. She was afraid that he would read he like a book as he always did and would find out what she felt for him. She was afraid that he didn't feel the same way…that would break her heart. With time, Kensi had learned not to create false expectations about things because she usually got terribly disappointed. She valued Callen's amazing friendship and that was something that she didn't want to end.
"It's 7 a.m.! I better go home to have a shower and change clothes…see you in a bit!"
With that she went home, leaving once again a very confused G Callen behind, sitting on the couch.
