"Ziva's father had just told her she was going away. She couldn't tell me where. Hannah had come after she had left. We got back together only after 3 weeks after I had gone back to camp."
Ziva finished." We had only just met we didn't know each other. It won't affect our case Gibbs. Don't worry we shall remain professional."
Everyone was shocked that they seemed to finish each other's sentences. But they seemed unaffected by it. Gibbs was quiet for a moment before saying." Then let us begin shall we."
Ziva's POV -
We discussed who was going to pair up with whom. But I couldn't really concentrate on what the conversation was though. I could just only focus on the man across the table. When Tony grunted my thoughts were interrupted.
"I don't think that is such a good idea given their history boss." Tony said in a low voice.
Gibbs looked behind him to stare at him. "They have said it will not affect this case Agent Dinnozzo. I believe Ziva. Do you not?" Gibbs gave him a hard look.
Tony knew that he was caught, Ziva could tell by the look on his face. "I trust her boss, she is my partner."
Ziva then realized that Gibbs had paired her up with Booth. Gibbs gave her a look. She could read his mind through his eyes. They said to solve their past before it affected everyone else.
She looked over at Booth he seemed like he was a bit shocked that Gibbs would do that.
"Get to work then, the body won't last forever." Gibbs said.
Later that day.
Ziva's POV
As the team got work Kate and Ari showed up on his motorcycle. Everyone had gone outside to head to NCIS since the investigation would happen there mostly. As Kate pulled off her helmet all the men stared even the married ones.
When Ari got off the motorcycle he also took off his helmet and put his around Kate's waste and they headed over to Gibb's. "Hey Gibbs." Said Kate.
"How was the honeymoon?" Gibbs asked a little louder so the other men staring from across the parking lot could hear him. They looked away disappointed.
Kate caught on and replied. "Very good Dad." Kate smirked.
"I'm not sure I wanted to hear that." Said Tony from behind Dr. Brennan.
The team laughed. Ari spoke up then." Thanks Gibbs but the men could not take on my Caitlin even if they wanted to. As for our honeymoon it was great 2 years ago."
Agent Booth was staring at Ari as he recognized him. "Haswari?"
Ari looked at him with a little shock. "Good to see you again Seeley. How was Afghanistan?"
Booth looked a little unsure when he replied. "Hot as hell."
Ari laughed. "I won't try to kill you this time Seeley don't worry."
Ziva laughed from Booth's side. Everyone was looking at them a little weird to learn that Ari tried to kill Booth.
"Well thanks for showing up on time then. How was the appointment?" asked Mcgee.
Ari brightened to where everyone could see it on his face. "It went well; the doctor said that the baby is growing strong and healthy."
The teams started their own ways. Booth and Ziva got in her black mustang everyone on Gibb's team was surprised when she handed him the keys so he could drive them. But then again they did seem to know each other more than they were telling the teams.
Booth's POV
As Ziva handed me the keys I noticed that the entire team Gibbs looked shocked. Then I remembered that Ziva never really liked it when other people drove for her. He remembered when they were in Israel on their 5 day together.
Flashback
I was the happiest man alive. I found a woman who not only loved guns and fighting but loved to laugh. We laughed about everything together from childhood stories to the children dancing in the middle of the street.
We were driving to the beach. It wasn't that far but we wanted to get cool in the hot weather. I was driving my Toyota Sequoia Ziva was in the passenger seat with her sunglasses on and her swim suit, a bikini, on. It was an olive green but it looked perfect on her skin.
As we parked the car we looked around, there weren't many people around but we got a picnic started right there in the sand. Ziva set out her red towel and we set our things down.
End Flashback
I remembered that day clearly as we drove to the crime scene. I looked over at Ziva, she looked less tense from earlier but I could still see the stress and tension in her shoulders. Her face was still, perfectly sculptured like from all those years ago. She had gotten a little taller than when we had first met. Her Star of David was still hanging on her neck on the chain I gave her. I was smiling happy that she had kept it.
Our teams thought that something had happened in Israel but nothing really did. I had fallen in love with her in those few weeks with her but I had never told her. I had told her about Hannah and how I had broken up with her before I departed for break. She had told me that I had seen something in her worthwhile and that was why I had dated her. She had told me that it was okay to feel sad but to not dish her completely.
I had not known that Hannah would want me back. I was still upset that I probably wouldn't see Ziva again; Hannah had come to see me that night. She had gotten a few days leave so she could visit me and make things right. I wasn't thinking straight when she had come in to my hotel room but I didn't regret getting back with her. She had noticed when we came back to America that I wasn't the same man she had dated before those few weeks. She had never asked what had happened but I wouldn't even tell anyone what had happened.
Those memories where my own. She was my own dream.
Sorry for such the delayed update. Will post ASAP.
