OPS, Monday January 7, 2013

Nell and Eric arrive at almost the same time on Monday morning, smiling and talking about what they had done while they had been apart for a whole 7 days, the longest they had been away from each other since she had started. Heading to their lockers by the bull pen they heard hetty yelling at Callen about not having finshed his report before they went on Christmas brake.

"He's never gonna learn is he" Eric asked lowering his voice so the agent in charge couldn't hear his words.

"None of them are! Look at Kensi's inbox! The only one who doesn't have quite as much is Deeks and that's because before we were on brake he was at Court with LAPD!" Nell answered shaking her head. She could feel the tension but didn't want to stop the light conventions yet, fearing that it could mess with any cases they had if they got interrupted, and this subject was not to be taken lightly.

Setting up for the day in ops made the time go by a little quicker and the silence a little less uncomfortable. "So, umm about what happens before brake?" Eric asked finally no longer able to stand the silence.

"Yea, so umm... Yea?" That was more then had popped into my head, I had several ways to get of the conversation but they all died as Eric turned his chair to look at mr, not his computer.

"Why? Do you... What did it... I jus" Eric could find the word he was looking for. 'What are we? Can we do it again? Do you talk about it? What did it mean?' They all seemed like great things to say right now but somehow the words got mixed up on the way from his brain to his mouth. She's making me all tongue tied

Again.

She turned her chair and looked at him seeing he was blushing, how cute it was too! "It was just a kiss, mistletoe, keeping up the tradition. Ya know!?" She really hoped he couldn't hear how she was lying.

"Um yea I get it" he looked at the ground for a moment, looking very hurt. Then stood and walked out of the room.

Nell couldn't believe what had just happened. He had just left the room,the look on his face had looked like a little puppy in trouble for something he didn't do, it almost, made her want to cry. That look was far to sad to be on her Eric! She was about to stand up when kensi walked into the room.

"What's with Eric? He looks like hetty took all of his technology and put him in time out for 30 minutes." Looking at nell she saw the look if pain on Nell's face "and what's with you? You look like someone took you puppy!"

Nell told kensi about the kiss under the mistletoe and what had just happend, kensi just sat and nodded her head till nell finally reached the end.

Thanks for reading, more coming! Sorry for the wait, just had a week full of finals!
