It was the weekend before Valentines day and Tony was freaking out. He had planned a surprise for Ziva but he wanted to make sure that everything went well. If one thing went wrong then it would ruin everything.
Sunday, the 13th, Tony stopped by Ziva's house while she went on a run and got her brother to help him hid a gift in her room. Once that mission was complete he placed the roses on her desk and a pre-Valentines day card. Ari had told Tony that Ziva would be back soon, so Tony hid in the bathroom.
Ziva walked up to her house and went straight upstairs to her room. When she walked in she instantly noticed the flowers and the card and shuffled over. She smiled reading the card that was hand made.
Will you be my Valentine?
Turn Around :D
~Tony
Ziva turned around and saw Tony leaning against her door frame.
"Ziva, will you be my 2011 Valentine?" He smiled brightly.
"Of Course." She smiled walking up to him. "You did this? The flowers and sneaking around, just to ask me a question you already know the answer too?"
"It was worth it." Tony smiled lifting his hand to her cheek. "I think you almost blushed."
"Thank you." Ziva said smiling, "Very creative, I loved it."
"Your welcome." Tony said. He kissed her lips quickly. "Meet me at my car tomorrow afternoon. I have something planned after school, and do not worry, you will have time to get your homework done, because I know that school is important to you."
Ziva laughed. "I will. Are you not driving me in tomorrow?"
"I cannot." Tony said. "But I already called Abby and you have a ride into school."
"Thanks, you didn't have to do that. I could have called her." Ziva said.
"Well, I did, so... Accept it." Tony laughed.
"What do I have to wear tomorrow?" Ziva asked.
"Anything. You can wear anything, you do not have to get dressed up if you do not want to. We will not leave my house." Tony said.
"Okay, I will think of something." Ziva smiled wrapping her arms around him. "Do you ever wonder what would have happened if we were still only friends?"
"I try not to." Tony said. "I like us now, and I hope that we would have told each other at one point."
"I like us now too." Ziva said into his chest.
"I have to go." Tony said kissing her head. "I will see you tomorrow after school."
"Where are you going?"
"I have things to do, amazing nights to plan, you know, basic everyday Sunday stuff." Tony smiled looking down at her.
"See you tomorrow." Ziva laughed kissing him.
"Love ya." Tony said giving her a peck on the lips then going down the stairs.
"Love you too." Ziva called after him.
Monday, the 14th, VALENTINES DAY.
6:30
Ziva walked back into her room after finishing straightening her hair. She looked at her phone and saw she got a text from Tony.
Hey Beautiful,
Bottom right drawer.
I love you. TONY
Ziva smiled and ran over to her dresser and opened her bottom drawer and found a box wrapped in red wrapping paper. She ripped the paper off and opened the box. She laughed when she saw the shirt that Tony had bought her. It was one that she had seen in the store a week ago when they had gone to the mall. It was white and it hung off the shoulder. It had a big red heart in the center and the words love in big black cursive writing through the heart.
Hey Handsome,
I love it. Thank you. :D
~Love you, Happy Valentines Day
Ziva smiled and put the new shirt on and her jeans that she knew were Tony's favorites. She styled her hair and did her makeup before running out the door to Abby's car.
"Is that a new shirt?" Abby asked as Ziva got into the car.
"Ya, Tony gave it to me." Ziva smiled brightly.
"I thought he couldn't drive you in today?"
"He hid it in my dresser and this morning he sent me a text telling me where it was." Ziva said.
"Aw. That is adorable. He is so cute." Abby smiled sweetly.
"I know. I was so shocked." Ziva smiled.
2:45
Tony leaned against his car, anxious to see Ziva. He hadn't seen her all day because their classes were different and since he couldn't drive her in today.
"Tony!" Ziva smiled walking quickly over to him.
Tony smiled at the sound of her voice and rushed over to her. He picked her up and spun her around. Ziva laughed and held his head in her hands.
He placed her down on the ground but didn't remove his arms from her waist. He leaned in and kissed her. Ziva wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
"I missed you." Tony whispered. "Happy Valentines Day."
"Tony, how did you hide this? How did you know I didn't go in my bottom right drawer?" Ziva smiled.
"Your brother." Tony smiled.
Ziva smiled. "I love it."
"It looks great on you." Tony said giving her elevator eyes.
"Come on, lets go back to your house." Ziva said pulling Tony over to his car.
About 10 minutes later they pulled into Tony's driveway.
Ziva entered his house first.
"Hey Honey." Tony's mom said. "How has your day been?"
"Absolutely wonderful." Ziva smiled. "And yours?"
"Well, this day is just like every other for me." She smiled. "Where is Tony anyway?"
"He had to grab something out of the garage and I couldn't see." Ziva smiled.
"He is so secretive." His mom smiled. "He has been different since you guys started dating."
"Different?"
"Happier," She said. "He bought me roses for this morning, he has never done that. And he made me breakfast, again, he has never done that."
"Maybe he just appreciates things more now?" Ziva suggested.
"I guess." She said. "Well, I am going to run to the store to pick up some things. Tell him I will be back around five."
"I will." Ziva smiled. "It was great seeing you again."
"You too sweetie." She smiled. "It always is a pleasure."
Tony's mom walked out. Ziva sat down at his kitchen table and took out a book she had to read for English. She began reading the fourth chapter.
In the garage:
Tony pulled the dozen roses from his trunk and the box of chocolates that he had. He walked over to the refrigerator and took the white teddy bear off of the top. He went into the house to find Ziva. He found her at his kitchen table with her back to him. He smiled and walked up behind her.
"I love you." He said holding the bear and the roses in front of her.
Ziva removed the book from sight and looked at the gifts. "More?" She smiled.
"Many more too come." He smiled kissing her cheek.
"You really didn't have to do any of this." Ziva said taking the bear and playing with its arms.
"But I did." Tony smiled. "You deserve it."
"Thank you." Ziva smiled "Again and again and again. How many times am I going to have to say that tonight?"
"Well, you do not have to." Tony said. "I know you are thankful and that you didn't ask for all this, I am going to give you this stuff because I love you and I want to."
"I love you." Ziva smiled.
"Let's go upstairs." Tony said. "You can use my computer for homework and stuff then we will get on with the festivities."
Ziva smiled and follow Tony upstairs to his room. She sat down at his desk and pulled out all her binders and stuff. Tony laid down on his bed and read his basketball magazine.
"Aren't you going to do homework?" Ziva asked.
"Zi, I don't do homework." Tony laughed.
"I know, I just, always thought you were kidding." Ziva said.
"Well, I do the easy stuff, usually in the class before." Tony smiled brightly.
"You are one crazy boy." Ziva laughed.
"Crazy man," He corrected. "And I am only crazy for you."
Ziva couldn't help but smile. She shook her head and went on with her homework.
After an hours and forty five minutes, Ziva was finished all her homework.
"Okay, can I give you my girl now before anything else." Ziva said. "I feel like my gift is really bad compared to everything you did so far."
"I will love anything you got me." Tony said. "I didn't even want something to begin with."
"Well, neither did I and we can see how that turned out," She smiled grabbing his gift out of her backpack and sitting on his bed next to him.
"I do not listen.
"I don't either!" Ziva smiled. "Here. Happy Valentines Day."
Tony smiled taking the box from her and placing it in his lap. He opened the lid and pulled out the gift.
The first thing he pulled out was a Jersey for his future college, Ohio State. It had his name on the back and it was his high school football number.
"How did you get this?" Tony asked.
"That is a mystery you will never know." Ziva smiled.
"I love it." Tony said. "It is so awesome. Thank you so much."
"There is more." Ziva smiled.
Tony pulled a piece of red tissue paper out to reveal another layer of tissue paper. He laughed and pulled that off. He reached in and pulled out the second gift.
It was a quilt. But the quilt had pictures of them. The pictures were from when they were little to about three weeks ago. Their were about 20 large pictures creating a nice size blanket. The center picture was of them starring at each other at Junior Prom last year. Tony had asked Ziva to the prom as just friends and when they were dancing, a photographer took a picture of them. The pictures were in the center and a green border surrounded them.
"Ziva," Tony said.
"Do you like it." Ziva said. "Cause, you said it was always cold in your room and I was going to get you a Ohio State blanket but then I thought of this but if you don't like it I can get you the other blanket."
Tony turned her so that she was facing him and could see his face. "This is the most thoughtful, amazing gift anyone has ever given to me." He smiled. "I love it. It is perfect."
"Really?" Ziva said in disbelief.
"Honest." He smiled, he reached over and pulled her as close as he could. "I cannot find words to describe how perfect it is."
"Maybe if you did your vocab homework, you might be able too." Ziva smiled against his neck.
"I hate you." He laughed.
"I know right." She smiled. Tony leaned down and placed his lips on hers.
"Come on," Tony smiled, "I have to give you your gift."
Ziva smiled and got up off the bed with Tony. He brought her downstairs and into the piano room. He sat her down on the piano bench and sat down next to her.
He gently played the beginning of the song in a soft tone. Ziva was surprise when she heard the music pick up and Tony started to sing.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
He sang, the words coming out in total harmony with the music. Ziva smiled, she had never heard him sing before.
Baby, when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
Tears fell down Ziva's cheeks as she heard the touching words that he was soulfully singing. She could tell that he had really meant the words he was singing.
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby, you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Oh, every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Tony ended the song softly, saying the last sentence, starring straight at her.
Ziva tried to wipe away her tears, as they kept falling.
Tony grabbed Ziva's hands and held them.
"I'm amazed by you." He said softly. "I am amazed at everything you do, you do it perfectly. You can do anything you set your mind too and you do it with such grace. Ziva, I love you so much for everything. And today, you proved that you still amaze me with that gift. The perfect gift that I would have never thought of I a million years."
"I love you Tony." Ziva choked out before hugging him because that was all she could do.
