To be honest I had some difficulties writing this chapter. Don't ask me why. I knew exactly how I wanted them to meet again but it took me a while to get the words around it. Hope you like it anyway:/

Kensi looked at her reflection in the small mirror. Even though she had applied quite some make-up including concealer she still looked tired. Those three months had been awful and she felt drained. Would this be an undercover mission like all those missions before she wouldn't have thought about this too much. But she would see Deeks for the first time in over three months. She didn't even know if he knew she would be there. What if he didn't know? How would he react? They were supposed to do their job even though there were so many things she wanted to tell him. They needed to be professional tonight. What she really wanted to do though, was being close to him. Just touch him, feel his warmth and strength, smell his unique ocean-like smell.

She lost count of the nights she had laid on her cot far away from home thinking about Deeks and their first and so far only night together. She had enjoyed it so much but hated the morning after when they both didn't know how to deal with the change in their… partnership, relationship… whatever it was. There had been nights during the mission where she was absolutely sure he wouldn't wait for her. She was an emotional wreck so why should he put up with that? On other nights she had longed for his touch and had wished she could just hear his voice for a minute. Being away from him had given her the opportunity to get her head clear and by now she knew exactly what she wanted – him. She wanted him so much it scared her yet again. She wanted to be his girlfriend in every sense of the word. She wanted to have a real relationship with him including dinner dates, movie dates, beach walks, romance, waking up with him, going to bed with him, kissing and making love with him and so much more and right now every fiber of her body just wanted to be with him.

'Soon,' she thought 'soon, I'm back where I belong. Just this little assignment and then…'

"Agent Blye, get back to your seat, we gonna land soon." Granger's voice and knocking outside the small bathroom brought her out of her thoughts.

She took a deep breath and left the bathroom getting back to her seat.

Deeks stood in front of the mirror in OSP straightening the jacket thinking about how weird this situation seemed. Usually, he wouldn't think about this so much. He would simply get dressed in one of the Armani suits purchased by Hetty and would wait for his partner leaving the changing room in yet another dress to kill for. He could almost picture her in a tight fitting, little-too-short dress and high heels that would make her legs seem endless. He gulped hard trying desperately not to think about Kensi's perfect body again. Otherwise he would never be able to get his head straight tonight. He knew whomever Granger had sent to help them out – even though it wasn't necessary – could never compare to his partner.

"Sorry baby, gotta do some undercover work with another wife," he whispered to himself imagining Kensi could hear him. He almost felt the punch he would have received for calling her baby.

It was a little past 9 when they all got on their assigned positions and Deeks approached the VIP section in the club.

"Any news on our mysterious agent who's supposed to help here?" Deeks asked everybody over the ear wig.

"Nothing yet," came Eric's quick reply. "We're monitoring the entrance though."

"K. Give me a warning when she's here," Deeks said.

"Sure."

Deeks took another deep breath and started acting.

"You must be Mr. Martinez. I'm Thomas Blake. I think we have an appointment to talk about some stuff." Deeks offered the man a handshake while Sam took his position behind him.

"Ah, Mr. Thomas, it's nice to meet you."

Martinez looked from Deeks to Sam and back obviously missing something.

"You looking for something?" Deeks asked him.

"I thought I'd meet your wife, too. It's always nice to have something beautiful to look at while talking about the business."

Deeks laughed nervously, hoping to hear something from Eric about the missing agent.

"Well, she'll be here in a few minutes. She went out shopping and doing some beauty stuff and we agreed to meet here. You know how long women can take to get ready, right?" He hoped Martinez bought this.

"Don't tell me about it man," Martinez laughed and motioned for Deeks to sit down.

Callen let his eyes wander around the room again looking for anything strange and then he saw the female agent Granger had sent. He couldn't believe his eyes but it really was Kensi. She was scanning the room, too and Callen knew the instant she saw Deeks. Her heart seemed to jump out of her chest and there seemed to be a force pulling her towards him. She didn't have eyes for anything or anyone else. He had about two seconds to give Deeks a warning.

"Deeks, she's here. Don't freak…," he said but he didn't need to say more because Deeks' and Kensi's eyes had already found each other.

"Oh my god," Deeks said more to himself than anyone else when he saw her. He thought she was a vision, a trick of his mind, a dream. But it was really Kensi finding her way over to him and she looked absolutely gorgeous. She wore a midnight blue satin dress, showing off her perfect figure. It was quite short and showed a lot of leg and also a lot of cleavage. Her long brown hair flowed over her shoulders framing her face in soft waves. She looked straight into his eyes while she crossed the room.

Martinez had noticed her, too, just like every other male in the room.

"Don't tell me, that's your wife," he said.

"Ahem," Deeks couldn't think straight let alone talk.

Kensi stopped and stood in front of him obviously not quite sure what she should do now. Suddenly, Deeks felt Sam nudging him with his elbow to bring him out of his thoughts.

"Come here baby," Deeks whispered holding out his hand.

She was in his arms in an instant. She clutched his suit jacket with both hands and his arms went around her body. They hugged tight completely lost in each other for some moments.

"You have no idea how good this feels," he whispered only for her to hear.

"Believe me I do," she answered still not willing to let go.

"Hey you lovebirds, how long have you been apart? Seems like an eternity," Martinez interrupted them.

They reluctantly pulled apart remembering where they were.

"You have absolutely no idea," Deeks sighed. "And hey, be honest, would you let her out of your sight for long? I mean, look at her."

Martinez looked up and down her body before extending his hand.

"Where are my manners? I'm Jerry Martinez, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said.

"Sarah Blake," Kensi answered shortly not really comfortable with the looks Martinez gave her.

"Come on, let's sit and order some drinks. Then we can finally talk business," Deeks suggested. He still had a death grip around Kensi's waist not willing to let go.

"Sure," Martinez motioned to some seats and ordered drinks with a wave of his arm.

"You look absolutely stunning," Deeks whispered to Kensi before they sat down as close together as possible. His arm went around her shoulders when she leaned into his side resting one of her hands on his thigh. Both wanted nothing more than being alone right now but they had a job to do. The faster they finished up here the faster they could be alone.
