Just want to thank Fashiongirl97 for giving me support and suggestions for this chapter and also once again my sister RUMad who gave me the idea for this story.
Chapter 3
"Mom" Tony tried to get his mother's attention as he pushed a piece of broccoli around his dinner plate. "Mom" he tried again.
Jenny turned around quickly to face her son "What?" she asked him running a hand through her long red hair, she'd been running late all day, she'd stayed late at school to finished grading papers and then on the way home she'd every red light going and the drive took forty five minutes on a good day and now she was running late for her date with Jethro.
She looked at the clock he would be here any minute, he'd told her to dress casual so she wore dark blue skinny jeans with a red jumper and her hair was tied back in a tight pony tail and she was walking around looking for her high heels boots, she'd already checked with Cynthia and she hadn't borrowed them.
"What do people do on dates?" Tony asked her.
"We talk" Jenny told him as she tried to think when she last had the boots.
"That sounds boring" Tony scoffed as Abby took the opportunity of her mother and brother being distracted to put the broccoli from her plate in front of Bert and try and stuff It into his mouth.
"If you don't talk to someone, how can you get to know them?" she asked her son with a small smile before turning to Abby "Abby put the broccoli back on your plate and eat it" she told her, her voice stern, her hands on her hips.
Abby pouted her, her lower lip quivering "But Bert likes broccoli" she said her green eyes bright and shiny.
"I'll remember that next time and give extra" Jenny said running a hand through her daughters hair as she walked past her, finding Abby's disgusted look very amusing.
"Everything okay?" Cynthia asked as she came through the front door coming back from her work.
"Everything's great, are you sure your okay with looking after them again?" she asked feeling bad, just dumping her kids on her friend for the second Friday in a row.
"Yeah" Cynthia smiled at the children she considered as her niece and nephew, "I'm just going to change" she said heading to her bedroom "Oh and I think I saw lover boy's truck out front" she told her friend.
Jenny glared at her friend before continuing her hunt for her boots, "What are you look for mummy?" Abby asked just as Jenny looked under the sofa for them.
"My boots" she informed her daughter, "They're black have you seen them?" she asked thinking that her daughter probably hadn't, I mean why would she?
"I know where they are" Abby told her mother jumping down from her seat at the small dining table situated in the corner of the kitchen and ran to the bedroom she shared with her brother and Jenny followed her inside.
The children's room was the biggest of the three, two single beds on opposite sides of the room, the walls a cream colour but decorated with stickers and posters that showed both child's individuality and taste.
Abby's wall was covered in bats and cobwebs, her bed covers where a deep dark purple with a black swirly cob web pattern, her toys and clothes neatly put away, Tony's wall was covered in movie posters and quotes, his bed covers were red and covered in cars and of course he wanted the car bedframe but Jenny couldn't afford it yet.
Jenny watched as her youngest child pulled her black boots from under her bed, "Abs what were you doing with them?" she asked her daughter, her voice full of surprise.
"I was trying them on" Abby explained, no joke about her, Jenny smiled before pressing a kiss to her daughters forehead just as there came a buzz at the door.
Jenny then walked out of her daughter's bedroom and went to the door and hit the intercom "Hello" she answered.
"It's Gibbs" His sexy gruff voice spoke.
"Come up the door's open" Jenny said unlocking the door so he could just walk in while she quickly put the boots on and zipped them up.
Gibbs walked into the apartment moments later with a bunch of white Phalaenopsis orchids in his hands, "For me?" Jenny asked with a smile and flutter of her eyelashes.
"No actually I bought them for Abby" he joked, upon hearing her name the little girl ran over to Gibbs, "Would you like the flowers?" he asked her.
"No" Abby said with a crinkle of her nose "I prefer roses" she told him "Black ones" she added after a moment "But mummy loves Orchids" she told him.
"Really?" Gibbs asked the redhead.
"I do, how did you know?" she asked him.
"Lucky guess" he mumbled shrugging his shoulders.
"I'll put them in water and then we can go" she told him before going over to the kitchen sink and filling a vase with water.
He watched her for a moment before he gave into the pressure of the extra pair of eyes he felt on him, he looked to his side and smiled at Abby who smiled back, he looked over to Tony who still sat at the dinner table, but he didn't smile the little boy was glaring at Gibbs, He could sense trouble in the future.
"Ready?" Jenny asked Gibbs just as Cynthia came out of her room.
"Yeah" Gibbs nodding sending Cynthia a smile, so she had been the women he'd seen run past his car and into the apartment building, he'd thought he'd seen her before.
"You two be good" Jenny yelled to her children before she and Gibbs walked out of the apartment to go on their date.
….
Almost three hours later Jenny and Gibbs arrived back from their date "I really had a great time" Jenny told him as they reached her door, much like they had a week ago.
"Really, I know it wasn't fancy…." Gibbs began but Jenny cut him off.
"It was perfect" she told him with a smile, the smile that he was ever so slowly falling in love with.
Gibbs nodded, he believed her but it still didn't put the feeling in the pit of his stomach that he could have treated her to more, "I'll call you" he told her.
"I look forward to it" Jenny smiled at him, but neither of them began to leave, neither wanting it to end.
Jenny looked at him for a moment, her gaze moving from his eyes to his lips, it had been a long time since she'd gone on a date with anyone let alone two, it had been a very long time since she was connecting with someone how she was with him.
Gibbs saw where Jenny's gaze had landed and he felt the same, her ruby red lips had been tempting him all night, slowly they both took a step towards each other, he reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist, meanwhile she wound her arms around his neck, letting her fingers play with the ends of his salt and pepper hair.
Slowly their lips gravitated towards each other and before they knew it they were locked in a heated kiss, his tongue ran along her bottom lips as his hands went to the bare skin at her hips where her jumper had risen from her arms being around his neck and he being taller than her, making her groan which gave him the perfect opportunity to explore the crevices of her mouth and she do the same to him while her hands gripped tightly at his short silver hair.
Both parted when the need for air became too important, both left panting for breath as their foreheads rested against one another, at least they knew they connected that way as well, Jenny ran her hands town his chest, loving the feeling of his muscles under the thin t-shirt he was wearing.
"Wow" Jenny mumbled once she caught her breath, she felt as if she were alive again, like her whole body was on fire, her lips were tingling and she felt slightly light headed.
Gibbs didn't say anything as usual he just closed his eyes once more and took a deep breath to try and regain his composer of being the gruff ex-marine.
Jenny finally let go of Gibbs as he did of her, both missed the contact immediately "Good night Jethro" She smiled at him before pressing a quick kiss to his lips.
"Night Jen" he mumbled as he watched her going inside the apartment before turning around and heading back to his car.
Jenny crept into the apartment trying not to wake up Tony and Abby who she expected to be asleep, "You look happy" the redhead turned to find Cynthia watching TV, sitting on the sofa, Jenny sat down beside her.
"I am" she nodded, she couldn't stop smiling.
"Your lipsticks smudged" Cynthia told her friend with an almost giggle and Jenny only replied by laughing. "What did you guys do?" she asked her.
"He took me too a Diner that he likes and then we went for a moon light walk around the harbour and he showed me the boat that he owns and told me he'd building one in his basement" she explained the whole time with a smile on her face.
"How's he going to get it out?" Cynthia wondered.
"I don't know" Jenny shrugged her shoulders.
"So you like him?" her friend asked after a moment.
"Yeah" Jenny nodded, she definitely felt something for Jethro, "What do you think?"
Cynthia though for a moment "Has very nice eyes" she said making Jenny smile.
"He wants to get to know the kids" She told her friend after a moment "Abby seemed to be okay with him but I'm worried about Tony" Jenny explained, Tony had been her little man for a long time she didn't
"He might warm up to him once he gets to know Jethro" Cynthia said trying to comfort her friend.
"I hope so" Jenny mused.
TBC…
I really need suggestions I have serious writers block with what Gibbs and Jen can do with the kids?
