NCIS:
MISTLETOE...
DISCLAIMER: NCIS and characters do not belong to me.
SUMMARY:
Abby climbed the ladder and hung the misteltoe in the doorway between her office and her lab. Just as she was starting back down the ladder, her foot slipped and she fell. The next thing she knew is she landed in someone's arms, she opened her eyes and...
CHAPTER 2: TALKING...
THE CAFE...
"What's going on? You two have been acting strange since we caught you kissing under the mistletoe." Tony said looking from McGee to Abby as Ziva stood by his side.
"That's what Abby and I were talking about before you two showed up. How about we go somewhere else to talk?" McGee suggested to Abby and she nodded in agreement.
McGee and Abby got up, leaving Tony and Ziva looking at each other confused.
THE CAR...
"Where are we going?" Abby asked as they got into McGee's car.
"Well...we can go back to my apartment, so we're not disturbed." McGee said starting the car.
"I don..." Abby said beginning to object.
"Just to talk." McGee said with a quick glance over to her, then after thinking for a minute, Abby finally agreed.
A while later they reached McGee's apartment, he unlocked the door and followed her inside.
MCGEE'S APARTMENT...
They sat on the couch and neither of them knew where to begin.
"Abby..." McGee started.
"Tim..." Abby began at the same time and they looked at each other.
"Go ahead." They said together.
"I...I don't know where to begin." McGee confessed looking away.
"Neither do I." Abby admitted.
"I.-I've been thinking about us for a long time. I never stopped loving you. Something changed the day I saw your back as you put that shirt on and when you were trapped in that car..." McGee trailed off.
"I know, Timmy. Earlier when you kissed me, I can't tell you how many times I've dreamed of that." Abby told him.
"I don't know if it was being under the mistletoe or what, but it..." McGee stopped trying to think of the right words.
"Felt right?" Abby suggested.
"Yeah, it felt right." McGee said looking at her for the first time in a few minutes.
"I don't want to lose you as a best friend if we start something, but..." Abby began.
"We've already started something, Abby. Do you regret the kiss?" McGee asked.
"NO! Do you regret it?" Abby asked.
"No, I remember when you got trapped in that car and how after everyone left the garage you wrapped your arms around me from behind. I think almost losing you that day, made me realize how much you actually mean to me." McGee said looking into her eyes.
"What are you doing for Christmas?" Abby asked.
"Wh...N-nothing, probably just going to stay home and write." McGee replied, surprised by the change of subject.
"Why don't you come over to my apartment and we can have dinner." Abby suggested with a yawn.
"All right, do you want a ride home?" McGee asked and Abby nodded.
McGee got up and pulled Abby to her feet. They headed for the door, McGee locked it and soon they reached Abby's apartment.
"You didn't have to walk me to th..." Abby began, but McGee kissed her for the second time that day.
"I know I'll see you later." McGee told her and walked away.
Abby unlocked the door and walked into her apartment, still in shock at what had happened in the past few hours. With a sigh, she went to take a shower and then climbed into bed.
It seemed to be only a few minutes, but when she looked at the clock, it had been a couple of hours.
At first she didn't know, what had woken her up. Then she realized someone was in her apartment.
Before she could defend herself...someone put something over her nose and mouth.
She tried to struggle, but it was no good.
