Chapter 7

Callen walked in the Office just like in any other day. Sam was sitting on his desk and Nate was sitting next to him. When they saw him, they both looked up clearly a bit shocked. He sat on his own desk and waited for the interrogation that was about to occur. Sam leaned back on his chair and started:

"How did you got here latter than me?"

Callen shrugged

"I slept in."

Nate and Sam looked at each other and Sam continued:

"You never sleep in. Tough night last night?"

Callen smiled and started to go through the paper work sitting on top of his desk.

"I guess you can say that…"

Sam and Nate were both looking at him, both surprised by his answer. Callen wasn't the type of guy who took girls home just for fun and he sure as hell wasn't the type of guy who admitted that out loud. He always kept his affairs a secret, not that he had many. He was more the kind of guy who lived for his work and didn't create any kind of emotional bond.

"What do you mean by that? You met someone last night?"

Before he had the chance to answer, Kensi walked through the door and sat on her desk.

"Good morning, boys!"

They greeted her back and turned to Callen.

"Well, aren't you going to answer?"

Kensi turned to them, curious.

"Answer to what?"

Sam was the one who answered her, smiling:

"Callen slept in today because he had a tough night last night!"

Kensi looked at Callen with a huge smile on her face.

"Really? Have you met someone last night?"

"You can say that…"

Sam sat closer to him.

"Come on, G. Stop giving us half answers. We want details. How was she?"

Callen looked at Sam

"I'm sure that your wife would love to know that you want to know all the details about my sex life!"

"I don't want to know all the details about your sex life…I just want to know what kind of girl made G Callen forget everything about his life rules. I'm already fan of this girl. It takes someone with balls to do that! So, how is she?"

Callen just smiled and turned back to his paperwork but Sam wasn't satisfied yet.

"Come one, G. Blond, brunette…give me something here!"

"So you can mock me about it? No, thanks."

Callen was saved by Eric who called him upstairs. They had a new case.

Callen, Sam and Kensi went upstairs under the intense stare of Nate. Something was definitely going on with Callen. He was happy that morning. He had never seen him that happy. He agreed with Sam in one thing: he was already a fan of the girl who made him that happy.

Kensi and Callen were both sitting inside the car. They were doing surveillance work once again and needless to say that they were both bored.

Sam had gone to the victim's house to talk to his wife and see what he could find out.

Suddenly, Callen pinched Kensi's arm.

She turned to him with a shocked expression:

"What was that for?"

"That was for what you did to me this morning!"

Kensi smiled at him, a flirty smile that he knew all too well now.

"I'm aware of what I did to you this morning but I doubt that we are talking about the same thing because what I did to you was pretty damn good and what you just did wasn't!"

Callen laughed

"I'm not talking about that. What you did this morning was pretty damn good. What wasn't good was what you did to me when Sam was questioning me!"

Kensi looked at him confused.

"What did I do?"

"The problem was what you didn't do. You could have helped me out, don't you think?"

Kensi laughed.

"How was I supposed to help you out?"

"You could have told something to Sam that would have made him back off."

"You were the one who told him that you had had a tough night last night…"

"That wasn't exactly a lie…"

"I know but you were the one who spiced up his curiosity…"

"Yes, because I arrived to work later than he did which was your fault."

"How was that my fault? You were the one who took forever to get ready…"

"And why did I take forever to get ready?"

"That's not the point!"

"That's exactly the point. I arrived later than him because of you and that's what spiced up his curiosity. The least you could have done was helping me out."

Kensi leaned in and kissed his earlobe.

"I'll make it up to you!"

He looked at her with a smirk.

"Promise?"

She laughed and looked ahead, to the suspect's door.

"Promise!"

Callen smiled and went back to just look at that damn door.

They were in the boathouse interrogating the suspect. Kensi and Callen and caught him by a neighbor's pool and he had throw his laptop to the water but Kensi had jumped inside and caught it while Callen caught the guy.

Kensi didn't have any dry clothes in the boathouse so she had dressed one of Callen's shirts and had kept her pants that were already dry. Sam was with the suspect and Callen was watching it from the outside. Kensi was sitting on the couch with Nate who was staring at her.

After a while that got to her and she turned to him. She caught him staring but he didn't look away making her even more nervous. She whispered, to avoid disturbing Callen while he was watching Sam with the suspect:

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Callen gave you his shirt!"

"In case you didn't notice, my clothes were all wet and I didn't have anything to wear here. I needed something dry and he had a spare shirt on his car. What's the problem with that?"

"There isn't one."

"Then why are you staring at me like that?"

"Because he smiled when he saw you with his shirt!"

"And what's the problem with that?"

"Do you know that men are the most possessive people that exist?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Men like to see women wearing his clothes because it proves to everyone else that that girl is his girl. That's the ultimate act of possessiveness."

"Callen didn't give me his shirt because he was being possessive; he gave it to me because my clothes were wet!"

"I know that! What I'm saying is that he liked seeing you with his shirt and you like that!"

"You're not making any sense, Nate."

"When he saw you with his shirt and smiled, you returned his smile. You even blushed a bit. You were the one he spent the night with, weren't you?"

Nate said that with a smile and Kensi knew that there was no use denying it. Nate always found out the truth.

"Please don't tell anyone!"

"Don't worry, Kensi! You secret's safe with me!"

"Thank you, Nate!"

They turned back to the screen and saw that Sam had just finished the interrogation and arrested the man. He was guilty after all.
