A/N: Hello guys! It's only been 4 days since I published this story but I have 4 reviews! Haha, thank you so much, guys! You don't know how much it means to me. I'm sorry if EJ's character is OOC, and also Ziva's. I've tried my best to make it a little longer and this was written when I was in school, just so you know. XD Anyways, enjoy! :D

My Heart Beats

By Franz Musni

Chapter 2

"You're acting like you're on your own, but I saw you standing with a girl, stop trying to steal my heart away, stop stealing my heart away."

Ziva was taking a little break from her paperwork, she stretched her neck, it was a little sore. She

checked the time; it was 3:26 in the afternoon. McGee was probably down in Abby's lab, Gibbs… only

God knows where the hell he is, and Tony… probably taking a break. She glanced at Tony's desk, empty…

except it's a little messy. She thought about yesterday, was he jealous? Ziva shook her head. "Of course,

who am I kidding? He's dating EJ, why would he be jealous?" Ziva thought to herself. She stood up from

her desk, deciding to take a break. She decided to take the elevator, she was too tired, or rather lazy, to

take the stairs.

At the break room, she was too distracted to care about what's happening around her, but her senses

came alive when she saw Tony and EJ standing and leaning to the vending machine, she was sure she

was interrupting something. The two stopped talking when they saw Ziva standing awkwardly.

"I…I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…uh, interrupt." She stuttered.

"That's okay." EJ replied with a smile, "We were just talking about things."

"Oh." Ziva nodded, she turned to Tony, "So, Tony, have you finished your paperwork?" She asked him,

trying to make a little conversation.

"No, but I'm almost finish."

Ziva was about to open her mouth to speak but she was interrupted by EJ.

"Ziva, why don't you join us?" EJ cut in, she offered with a smile.

"Thank you, but I have some paperwork to do." Ziva replied, still nervous.

"Oh…" EJ frowned, "Well, see you later then."

Ziva smiled at them politely, she stole a glance from Tony before she walked out.

She entered the elevator, relieved when she saw the elevator was empty. Tears welled up in her eyes

but she was holding it back. Before she realize, the elevator already stopped at the third floor. She head

her way back to the bullpen, McGee was already there, so she wasn't alone anymore. She told herself

not to cry.

"Ziva, are you okay?" McGee asked with concern.

"I'm fine, don't worry." She replied with an reassuring smile.

But Ziva knew that she was not fine at all. Tony was stealing her heart away.
