"Run!" that was the only thing going through my mind. For a little moment I forgot all of my worries and I literally ran for my life.. I heard Gibbs behind me. I heard his breathing getting heavier. I hoped we would make it. And we did, eventually.

X~ -

It is a Monday morning like always. Ziva stayed over the night before, so we were a little later than usual. But that was fine, we would think of an excuse later. Our first priority was to find our clothes, that was always quite the challenge. And don't get me wrong! I feel like the luckiest guy on the planet, I mean, not everybody is lucky enough to get with Ziva. She is all passion, that's for sure, never a dull moment with a David. But sometimes I would like to have a nice relaxed dinner before I got my clothes ripped of.

I never thought I'd say this, but there has to be more in a relationship that just sex right? Or maybe I wasn't even in a relationship, maybe all I was to Ziva was a guy for in bed. This thought got me worried. I had waited so long to take this step with her and maybe she had never even noticed..

I looked at her, she was putting on one of my t-shirts, because I ripped her shirt of a little too enthusiastic last night. The soft cotton hadn't survived the fight.

When she noticed I was looking at her, she gave me a quick little smile before she teased: "Come on big boy, we don't want to be late.".

This was what I was scared of, Ziva never showed any sign of real love or even a serious commitment. All she thought was fun. And maybe it was just me, maybe I was the only one of us who changed since we first kissed. And maybe that had been a big mistake. I heard her leaving, she closed the door behind her. I'd better hurry up before she'd decide to let me walk to work. I quickly put on my jeans and the same shirt I had worn yesterday, I wouldn't really care if anyone would notice today.

It was unusually quiet in the car. I wasn't really in the mood for small talk, all I could do was to try to think about a clue about what Ziva ever mentioned about our "special friendship". I was hoping I would remember something that proved that she was into us as much as I was. But I couldn't remember her ever mentioning anything about it after their first kiss in the elevator that day.

It made me a little sad that I didn't just ask her, she was sitting right next to me for heavens sake.. I stared out the window when I noticed we weren't driving as fast and reckless as usual. I looked at Ziva, I saw she was thinking about everything except for the road.

I was the sun coming up behind her, she blinked. I couldn't believe I was blessed to be with this goddess.

And then I heart shots, I felt a whining pain in my shoulder and then everything turned black.
