"Wha what are you doing here?"

"I made a mistake when I left, and I'm sorry for leaving without saying a word. I thought I was doing the right thing, I just want to make things right between us."

She stood there speechless.

"Can I come in, so we can talk?"

"No I don't want to talk jack."

Just then she felt the presence of Deeks behind her. "Everything okay Kens?.. I can leave if you want me to." Deeks did not want to leave but he wasn't sure what was going through Kensi's mind and how she wanted to handle Jack.

Having Deeks leave was the last thing Kensi wanted. "No Deeks, he was just leaving."

"Kensi please." Jack said as he tried to take a step toward her. She took a step back and closed the door.

Deeks hand found her back and he gently rubbed circles to try and soothe her. He didn't know what to say. I mean how can she be okay her ex fiance who disappeared on Christmas and hasn't talked to her since just showed up at her door. Deeks felt anger boiling up, and couldn't wrap his head around the idea of someone leaving Kensi. If he was to ever get the chance to have her and be able to call her his, he would never let go.

Interrupting his thoughts kensi said "Let's start the movie." As she walked back over to the couch, grabbed her beer and sat down.

Deeks followed in silence. He knew she wouldn't want to talk about what just happened but he had to ask anyways.

"Kens-"

"Deeks don't.. can we please just watch the movie, I don't want to talk about it."

"Yeah sure." He said, sliding closer to her on the couch, there legs slightly touching. Deeks knew it would take some time but she would let him in and talk about it when she was ready.

They sat in silence for the rest of the night. Deeks was still worried about Kensi and would glance over at her every so often. The movie credits started rolling as a loud knock came from the front door. Deeks looked at his watch, it was eleven thirty.

"Who's here at this hour?" he said as he got up. There was another knock at the door followed with an angry voice. "Open this fucking door."

Deeks couldn't believe it, this asshole had the nerve to show up again. He went towards the door but was stopped by Kensi. "Deeks I'll handle it."

"Fine." He said backing out of site.

Kensi unlocked the door and opened. "What now? Did I not make myself clear the first time?"

Jack swung the door open. "I said I wanted to talk but instead you shut me out and let that other guy stay. Are you sleeping with him, who the fuck is he?"

"It's none of your business Jack!" He stumbled towards Kensi. She could smell the alcohol on his breathe. "Your drunk."

Jacks arm went out and he grabbed her by the waist, his hand sliding down her back. "I miss you Kens."

"Get off of me." She said putting both her hands on his chest and shoving him off.

Deeks knew she could handle him and she specifically told him she could but he couldn't just stand there and do nothing. "I think it's time for you to go." Deeks said coming around the corner so Jack could see him.

Just then he swung at Deeks caching his jaw. Deeks seeming to be unfazed throwing a punch back at Jack making him stagger backwards in his drunken state. Jack regained his balance and tackled Deeks to the floor. It didn't take long for Deeks to get the upper hand and start punching him repeatedly.

"Deeks!" Kensi yelled.

Deeks head snapped up, his angry filled eyes meeting Kensi's.

"Please just stop." she calmly said.

He grabbed Jack and stood him up, blood was dripping from his nose. "I don't want to see you around Kensi again.. get out." he said as he shoved him towards the door.

Jack gave him one last look. "This isn't over." And with that he shut the door.

"I'll get you some ice for your jaw." Kensi said as she turned and walked to the kitchen.

Deeks followed behind her. She had the freezer door open looking for some frozen peas.

She grabbed the frozen bag and handed it to Deeks. "Here this should help."

"Thanks." He said as he held the bag to his face where in the morning there would surely be a bruise. There was a moment of silence before Deeks spoke. "You okay kens?"

"I'm fine."

"Come on we both know when you say you're fine, you're not really fine.. talk to me."

"What do you want me to say Deeks? What is there to say? My ex-fiance who I haven't seen or talked to in over six years just showed up at my front door." She said as she lifted her self in a sitting position on the counter.

Deeks walked over and rested his hand on her thigh. "I know you don't like talking about things but I just want you to know that I'm here for you, you can talk to me about anything.. Okay?"

A slight smile appeared on her face. "Yeah i know Deeks thanks."

"I'm exhausted" she sighed as she slid off the counter.

"Why dont you go get ready for bed. I should probably bring Monty outside to go to the bathroom.

Deeks went back into the living room to pick up the empty beer bottles and bring the food cartons into the kitchen. After that he got Monty and walked out the door. The fresh air felt good, as he and Monty walked down the street. He couldn't stop thinking about what Jack said "This isn't over." What if Jack came back when Deeks wasn't there? What would happen then? He couldn't stop the questions running through his head. Deeks opened Kensi's door and walked in.

"What took you so long?" she said from the bedroom doorway.

"Sorry just lost track of time."

"What's wrong?" she said as she walked closer to him.

"Nothing, I was just thinking thats all."

"Thinking about what?"

He hesitated, unsure if he should bring it up again. "I'm just worried that if Jack comes back and I'm not here.. what's going to happen then."

She laid her hand on his upper arm. "Deeks I can handle myself, nothings going to happen."

"I know you can, I just.. I just don't want you to get hurt Kens. I'm your partner I'm supposed to be there to protect you and have your back."

Slowly they seemed to have gotten rid of the space that was between them. There faces inches apart. She could feel his hot breath hit her and the smell of ocean air, sunshine, and a hint of coconut coming off of him. His eyes met hers as he brought his hand up to caress her face. She licked her lips in anticipation. As he leaned down there eyes closed and there lips touched.
