Thanks everyone for keeping up with the story. I hope you like this chapter. I worked hard on it. The date will be spread across three chapters. I am doing this because it would be quite long if I didn't. Also it is going to take some time to write and I don't want to keep you guys waiting that long.
Kensi looked at the mirror for the tenth time. She was so nervous for tonight. Deeks wouldn't tell her where they were going. She heard the knock and grabbed her jacket. She was wearing a blouse and a nice pair of jeans. She had decided to go with black heels just to add a bit of sexiness.
"You ready?" Deeks asked.
"Yeah." Kensi replied.
"You look amazing." Deeks said as they walked to his car. He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. When they got to his car Deeks opened the door for her.
"So where are we going?" Kensi asked when they were on the road.
"I told you, it's a surprise." Deeks said.
"You know I'm trained to navigate with my eye's closed so you might as well tell me because I'm going to figure it out."
"Not a chance, but nice try." Deeks said. Deeks reached over and covered her hand with his. "Kensi just relax."
Kensi realized her hands were curled into fists. She relaxed her hand and intertwined their fingers.
"So…did you finish all your paperwork?" Kensi said trying to make conversation.
"No work talk." Deeks said. "Just for tonight, work doesn't exist."
Kensi sat in silence. She was at a loss for words. They never had trouble talking before, but she was so nervous she didn't know what to say.
Deeks saved her. "So how is your mom? Are you two getting along?"
"Yeah. We sat down and talked and she told me all about how she lied about falling for another guy. I felt so bad that I never gave her a chance to explain before now. I have missed out on over 10 years of birthdays and Christmas's with her. I think we're just trying to make up for lost time."
"Did you tell her what you do?"
"Yeah. After the whole event it was useless to lie. Unfortunately now she is constantly worried about me. She asked me to come over once a week to have dinner with her so we see each other."
"That sounds nice."
"It is. After so going so long without a family it's nice to have someone who cares about you. Who calls just to make sure you are okay and pesters you about having dinner. It's so…normal."
"We need a little normal in our lives."
After that the conversation just came normally until Deeks parked the car.
"Where are we?" Kensi asked. "I don't recognize this place?" She looked at the sad little diner. Now she was nervous again. What if Deeks was a terrible date? What if they didn't know each other at all? This was her worst nightmare, giving in to all of this and it turning out horribly.
"Trust me." Deeks said as he held out his hand. She took it and they walked into the diner.
"Marty." The cook yelled from behind the counter. He looked to be in his late 60's Kensi thought. "Where have you been man? Haven't seen you in a while."
"Hey Jerry. I've just been busy working." Deeks replied.
"Margie, get out her. Little Marty is back." Jerry called to the back.
"Come on Jerry. Can we retire the Little Marty name please?" Deeks said.
"You will always be our little Marty." A woman said as she walked through the door from the back. She looked to be the same age as the cook.
"Hi Margie." Deeks let go of Kensi's hand and walked over and planted a kiss on Margie's check.
"It's good to have you back Marty." She said. "It's been months since you've been here. Let me take a look at you."
Deeks backed up a few steps and did a turn. "You need to put some more meat on your bones."
"You say that every time." Deeks said laughing.
"Be a gentleman and introduce me to your lady please." Margie said.
Kensi walked up behind Deeks. "This is Kensi."
Kensi held out her hand. "We hug around here." Margie said as she enveloped Kensi in a big hug. This made Kensi giggle, much to Deeks's delight. He loved hearing her laugh.
"Well she is much better then the girls you used to bring around here."
Kensi looked at Deeks, eyebrows raised.
"To be fair," Deeks jumped it, "The last time I brought a girl here I was 19."
Deeks pulled Kensi over to a booth and they sat down. Margie flipped the sign to 'closed' so they could be alone.
"Would you like a menu sweetheart?" Margie asked.
"No need." Deeks said. "Two cheese burgers, seasoned fries, root beer for me, chocolate shake for her."
Kensi couldn't believe she had doubted him. This was an amazing date. He knew her so well she didn't have to worry about it anymore.
"So I take it you have been here before." Kensi said after Margie walked away.
Deeks laughed which made Kensi smile. "When I was ten I ran away from home for a day and I came across this place. Jerry and Margie had just taken over and they didn't know anyone. They took me in and fed me. They convinced me to go back home. After that whenever I needed to get away I would come here. They are like the parents I never had."
"So when did it become your go to date place?" Kensi asked with the cute, fake attitude Deeks loved.
"You know, I really don't remember." Deeks said. Kensi knew he was lying and just didn't want to answer.
"Hey Margie." Kensi yelled.
"Yeah sweetie."
"When did Little Marty bring his first girl here?" Kensi asked emphasizing his name.
"14-years-old. But she brought him here. It was our daughter. Kate." Margie answered.
"Oh really?" Kensi said with a mischievous smile. Deeks put his head in his hands.
"Those two were the definition of puppy love." Jerry said.
"They were together for quite some time. Marty was such a smooth talker it was hard not to fall in love with him."
"I know what you mean." Kensi said before she realized it.
Deeks looked at her with a smile.
"Do you have any pictures of her?" Kensi said trying to cover up the fact she just basically told Deeks she loved him.
"There is a picture of her up on the wall over there." Margie pointed to the wall next to the door. It was a corkboard with lots of pictures on it. Kensi got up and walked over there. Deeks followed her.
"Which one is she?" Kensi asked.
Deeks pointed to a beautiful woman with blond hair, holding two babies. "She got married about three years ago and just had two baby boys." Deeks said.
"Your still in touch?" Kensi asked.
"No, I hear everything through Margie and Jerry." Deeks said.
"She is really pretty." Kensi said.
Deeks turned her around. "Not as pretty as you." Deeks placed a kiss on Kensi's lips. They heard the ding of a bell.
"Food's up." Jerry called. Deeks escorted Kensi back to the booth.
"So did you break her heart?" Kensi said playfully.
"Quite the opposite." Margie said as she placed the plates on the table. "She broke his heart."
"Really?" Kensi said genuinely surprised.
"Yes." Deeks said. "She went off to college and I had to finish my last year in high school. Can we talk about something else?"
Deeks and Kensi talked and laughed with Margie and Jerry for an hour and a half.
"Okay. I think you have enough dirt on me for a lifetime. It's time to go." Deeks said. Kensi got up and hugged Margie and Jerry.
"Don't be a stranger now." Margie said.
"I won't." Kensi said.
Deeks leaned in and hugged Margie. "She's a keeper." Margie whispered into his ear.
"I know." Deeks whispered back.
Deeks took Kensi's hand and they walked out to Deeks's car.
"That was amazing. Thank you." Kensi said.
"Oh, the night isn't over yet." Deeks said.
