I had been upstairs in his room for awhile before I made my way back downstairs, he wasn't on the couch so I decided to check downstairs. As I made my way downstairs I smiled as I watched him work on his boat that was when I noticed photos from Paris around his work area, the frames he had made me he must have saved them, he must have taken them out before the fire. As I made my way further downstairs he much have noticed me because he spoke softly I shook the thoughts from my head as I looked towards him.
"Hey..." he said softly looking towards me. I smiled as I made my way to the other side of the boat looking across from him.
"Hey, " I respond as I looked toward him.
"What are you doing down here, I thought you were suppose to be sleeping?"
"Can't sleep, it was too quiet."
He laughed slightly as he pulled down his bottle of liquor he then grabbed the two cups as he poured a glass handing one to me and he took the other. He then sat down across from me as he watched me with a smile.
"What you thinking about?" I asks taking a drink.
"Paris." He said smiling usually i'd tell him to get his head out of the bedroom and get back to reality but something was holding me back. I just smiled as I took another drink. "I've missed that smile so much Jen"
"You just missed the smile?" I asked looking towards him he laughed as he set his glass down.
"Of course not I missed the woman it belongs to as well."
I smiled as I watched him "Well i've missed you as well."
He looks towards me "So Jen what is the real reason your down here?"
"Like I told you before I didn't want your bed because it was yours" She said grabbing my hand as she pulled me upstairs.
"Jen what are you doing?" She laughs as she leads me out of the basement, I tried to stop her but she gripped tighter as she lead me upstairs to my bedroom.
"I won't lay in here unless you're here as well.."
"You sure Jen?"
She nods "It is your bed and I don't wanna take it from you." she said as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"Sometimes I hate how I can't say no to you.." She just smiled as I climbed into the bed beside her. I slid off my pants and shirt so I was in my boxers I then climbed under the covers as I watched her "So i'm in bed now are you gonna lay down as well or are you just gonna leave me here?"
She shakes her head as she tossed one of the pillows at me, she then climbed under the covers beside me as she laid there watching me.
"Jen?"
"Yes Jethro?"
"What are you thinking?"
"I was wondering how I ever let myself walk away from the only man I ever loved"
I sigh as I pulled her closer to me, she snuggled up next to me as I laid there holding her as she fell asleep in my arms. I soon fell asleep as well not letting her go.
Last night was the best night of sleep I had gotten in awhile, when I awoke I was alone, there were some of my clothes laying on the edge of the bed. I got up and went to take a shower when I came out I smiled seeing him sitting there watching me.
"Morning sunshine." he said softly "I brought you breakfast."
"Why thank you" I said sitting beside him. I sat there eating when I looked towards him I laughed as I picked up a sausage as I carefully held it u for him,
"Want it?" He nodded. "Then take it" I said handing it to him he just laughed so I shook my head.
When we finished up we made our way downstairs, I grabbed the things I needed as I made my way to the car climbing into the passenger side as I sat waiting for him he came out a short time later as he got in. As he drove he had one hand atop mine. I smiled as I watched in front of us, when we got there he parked and we walked into the building once in the elevator he leaned over and kissed my cheek I ignored the little blush that had come across my face as I looked towards him. He gently leaned over and kissed me as I kissed him back. We then stood in silence as the elevator opened.
"Goodbye Jethro.." I said making my way out of the elevator into the bullpen from there I made my way up the stairs. He had gone to his desk he watched me as I disappeared into my office.
We watched as they both walked in as we watched them DiNozzo said a smart ass comment
"What do you think happened between they two last night."
"Nothing." I replied softly
"Come on Kate you don't even think something little happened."
I didn't respond because they had come by Gibbs slapped him in th back of the head.
"You heard all that didn't you" Gibbs nodded as I sat there and laugh. I then went back to doing my work.
After awhile of silence Abby came into the bullpen as she looked towards Gibbs. He looked bcd at her silently.
"So... What happened after you two left last night?'
I heard him mumble something as he looked towards Abby. "Nothing happen was does everyone thinks something happened?"
With this I spoke up "Because we see the way you look at her, you give her this look that you give no one else, you're always happy around her and you guys came in talking, laughing and smiling we all know you like her boss and well we know she likes you as well."
"Even if I do why does it matter?"
McGee was the next to speak "You lost her not once but twice boss, each time you lost her you got worse and we could see that no one makes you as happy as Jenny does why can't you see that? You should go after her before you lose her again."
"Why would I lose her again?"
"Woman are un unpredictable species one day they are perfectly fin the next they get up and leave, they need a reason to stay if you don't give them that then they will leave.." Tony said from where he sat.
"I guess you guys are right maybe I should go talk to her.."
"You can't at the moment.." I said looking towards the elevator.
"Why is that Kate?" He said looking towards me.
"Because while you were all talking she walked right past you all and just got in the elevator with some guy couldn't quite tell who it was.."
They all looked towards the closed elevator, quickly we all made out way to the window and watched as Jenny climbed into a car, we couldn't quite make out who the man was but he looked older. Gibbs sighed as he went and sat back at his desk. He tried to bury himself in paperwork but we could see it wasn't working.
After an hour or two we heard the elevator ding and everyone glanced towards it,
"Goodbye" Came Jenny's voice as she stepped out of the elevator "Thank you for lunch we will have to do it again soon." With that she turned and made her way back towards.
Tony looked towards her "hey Jenny where have you been?"
She looked towards him "Lunch, why did something come up?"
He shook his head "No jus wondering."
I watched as she glanced towards me I tried to pretend I was busy but she was just too good that when she came and stood in front of my desk I looked up at her silently.
"Everything okay Jethro?"
It brought a smile to my face when she called me Jethro instead of Special Agent Gibbs or Agent Gibbs. I just nodded "yeah i'm fine."
She sighs as she turns to leave but then stopped and came back setting something on my desk "When you get the chance please give that to Ducky."
"Why?" I asked looking down at the money she placed on my desk.
"He refused to let me pay for lunch and i'm not letting him get away with that." She said as she turned to leave. I looked towards my team who were laughing.
"What?" I said looking towards them.
"You were worried about her going out to lunch to find out it was only Ducky."
I groaned as I chucked a pencil towards them. "Get back to work.."
After a few hours it had started getting late as I made my way up to Jenny's office, I had sent the rest of the team home since we finished the case I made my way upstairs knocking on the door.
"Come in" As I entered she looked towards me "What's up?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go to dinner tonight?"
She nods "sure let me just put a few things away.." She said packing her bag she then walked over to one of her cabinets. "I'll meet you downstairs i'm gonna change."
"You have clothes here?"
She nods "yeah for when I stayed long nights and didn't return home." I just nodded as I left waiting for her downstairs. After awhile she came downstairs in a black dress that fell just below her knees and black heels her hair which was now past her normal length fell below her shoulders about her middle back area, it was curly red just like it use to be. I smiled as I take her hand leading her out to the car.
That night I sat across from him in the candle light that was on our table, it was just like we were back in Paris he smiled as he watched me while I drank from my wine glass.
"Thinking about Paris?"
"Kinda" he said watching mean.
"What do you mean kinda..."
"Well you look as beautiful back there as you do now if not more beautiful, your smile lights up the whole room and you've got the most beautiful eyes i've see they're the perfect shade of green." I blushed as I watched him.
"Is that all you're thinking about." He shook his head "What else? Wait let me guess the bedroom?"
"Kinda..."
"What do you mean by kinda.."
"Well i'm thinking about it but not back in Paris..."
I laughed slightly "You don't mean.."
He nodded. I got up as I went and found our waiter asking for the bill I quickly paid it so he wouldn't argue about it as I took his hand leading him out and to the car. I dug into the pocket for his keys as I quickly made my way to the driver's side climbing in. He climbed in beside me looking towards me.
"Jenny is it safe for you to be driving..."
I leaned over and placed my hands on each side of his face as I kissed him, when we pulled away he laughed.
"Jen that doesn't after my question"
"Loosen up, I drank more then I did here in Paris and I drove without a problem." I said as I pulled out of the parking lot.
"We almost got hit.."
"So you're saying you don't trust me."
"No! I never said that.."
I laughed as I continued to drive home pulling into the driveway. I got out as I took his hand walking inside, leading him up to the bedroom. I had just taken off my shoes and turned around when he pushed me up against the wall, he stood there watching me.
"What's wrong?" I asked watching him.
"Nothing just admiring you're beautiful smile." He said as he carefully leaned down and kissed me.
I smiled once again as I kissed back, after awhile my hands wrapped around his neck I felt him lift me as I wrapped my legs around his waist..
"Don't drop me.." I breathed against his lips as I looked into his deep blue eyes. He laughed as he held me close.
"What are you doubting me now?"
I just laughed as he carried me to the bed laying me down, my hands traveled back to his face as I continued to kiss him. We remained awake the rest of the night. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard his soft voice.
"I love you Jenny..."
"I love you too Jethro..."
