Chapter 10
Gibbs had sent the team home that day to pack for their next day flight. Except for Abby (who was staying in her lab), everyone was packing for Israel. After she was packed up, Ziva got very nervous, so she decided to pay Tony a visit at his apartment.
Ziva knocked on Tony's door. It took him a few seconds to answer.
"Ziva!" Tony exclaimed, surprised to see her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Are you done packing?" she asked.
"Yeah, I just finished…What are you doing here?" he asked her.
"I know I should have called and it is last minute, but do you want to see a movie? It'll be my treat."
Tony didn't know what to say then, other than, "Sure." They decided to see Morning Glory. After Tony took Ziva back to his apartment, she felt better.
"Are you okay? I mean you look a little bit nervous," Tony said.
"Yes, I am fine. I'm just uneasy about going back to Israel. And Gibbs said that I was in charge of this case. What if I can't do it? What if I can't lead the team?" Ziva blurted out.
"Ziva!" Tony said to make her stop babbling. "It'll be okay. You can lead this case. You can handle anything, Z," he said to encourage her.
"Are you sure?" she asked uneasily.
Rather than answering than answering her question, Tony pulled Ziva close and kissed her lips passionately. He could feel all of the nervousness flow out of her in that kiss. When they finally released, Ziva looked a lot calmer. "
"You okay? Feeling better?" he asked.
Ziva just nodded. "Yes," she said quickly, then pulled Tony in for another kiss. After she broke away, Ziva went home to get some sleep. But both Tony and Ziva slept with smiles on their faces.
-The next morning-
The team met up and drove to Dulles Airport. Abby went with them to see them off. When they boarded, Tony got the seat next to Ziva, Gibbs sat with Ducky, and Vance sat next to Palmer and McGee.
Tony had noticed that Ziva looked anxious and worried. "Ziva?"
Ziva looked at him. She nodded but said nothing.
Tony took her hand in his. "It'll be okay."
A small smile came out of Ziva's face. She squeezed his hand, and the plane took off.
Tony squeezed back and smiled because he had made smile. As long as his girlfriend was happy, he was happy too. A question popped into Tony's head after that thought. When will we tell everyone? Especially Gibbs?
