If he was Gibbs he would work on his boat. But he wasn't Gibbs, so he would call for a Pizza and watch the TV absentmindedly.
It was his fault really, he shouldn't have become so emotionally attached to Kari and her story, and maybe if he curbed the flirting in the office with Ziva he wouldn't be in a position where even on all his dates, she was the one who zoomed in and out of his thoughts faster than a kid on sugar. But who could blame him? She was a beautiful, deadly, and a stunning woman, "Damn it" he whispered and looked at the empty seat next to him. He growled under his breath, if this was making it easier for Ziva then so be it, he would do anything for her, because she wasn't a one-night stand, she was Ziva and he- "I love her" Tony said to himself in realization, and to be honest, it scared him a little. He did have those commitment issues, hence why a lot of his relationships ended very quickly, "Or maybe it was like what those girls used to say, wait until you find the one" he grinned at himself, he did sound a bit silly, but If sounding silly was going to help him sort this out, then so be it!
It was early hours of Saturday morning, he must have fallen asleep on the sofa, he was greeted with the annoyingly bubbly voices of the news team on the TV, "Ugh" he moaned and rolled off the sofa to the floor, the crash and sudden rush of pain to his head seemed to wake him up. He groggily walked over to the kitchen and raided the cupboard he labelled the "sugar cupboard" it had various sugary treats which could wake you up in a snap.
He walked to the bathroom, munching on a mouthful of what ever he had taken from the bowl, he opened the door and it creaked and hit the wall, he eyed the sink and took out his tooth brush as he swallowed the contents in his mouth, his hands ran through his hair as he darted to the shower, hitting his toe on the side of it on the way there, he bent down quickly to rub it, although it did very little to ease the pain, it helped mentally.
He turned the shower on and watched the water speed down to hit the shower floor. "Rise and shine Tony!" he said to himself then got in.
A more clean and wake Tony appeared from the bedroom, changed and ready for what ever this day brought on him. "Maybe I should call Ziva, see if she is okay," he said to himself as he flicked through one of his more 'favoured' magazines.
The David household was up and sitting at the small eating area, "Tony's really nice isn't he?" Kari asked avoiding putting 'mom' at the end of the sentence. Ziva looked up from the book she was reading, think fast David. "Uh yes, Kari" she said simply and did her best to avoid Kari's growing inquisitive gaze by putting the book down and looking into her coffee mug. Kari giggled "Hey! If you go any further your going to need a snorkel" she said with the biggest grin imaginable plastered on her mildly tanned face, Ziva looked at her, "Something you want to ask, Kari?" Ziva said with the same questioning look on her face, it was turning into a match of who's going to find out first, so to speak. "Well, You and Tony seem a little, yah know!" Kari giggled again; she was having the time of her life, toying with Ziva. Ziva looked at her, one eyebrow rose "There is nothing going on!" Ziva lied. "Well, in my thoughts maybe" she thought and grinned slightly, but went back to all seriousness with Kari. "Oh come on! Its sooo obvious" Kari added and put down the magazine she had been flicking through. Ziva glared at her, "There is nothing obvious about it Kari David!" she barked using Kari's full name for effect. Kari nearly fell of her chair with laughter, "Calm down woman!" she told her and picked up the plates from the table, carrying them in hand to the kitchen sink. "You really should control that temper of yours" Kari teased and came back for Ziva's plates and empty mug. Ziva sighed "Yeah okay, drop it will you?" Ziva asked with a more serious and annoyed tone of voice. Kari put the things down and looked at her, "Mom, you okay? It was only a joke" Kari apologized, putting a hand on her shoulder. "No its not that its-" Ziva began but was cut of by Kari finishing "Just admit it, its him, he's all you can think about sometimes, right? But your too worried about hurting me, well don't worry, for once in my life I've got a sense of normality" Kari stated and looked at her mother affectionately. "If I had a problem with him, I would tell you okay?" Kari said then gave her a kiss on the cheek, before dashing of to her room to listen to some music for a bit. Ziva smiled and thought silently, this was going to be difficult, but it would work.
