She thought she'd imagine the soft noise on her front door until she heard the knock again.
Glad she hadn't changed for the night yet, she went to the door and looked through the
peephole.
More than surprised, she opened the door.
"Tony." She moved away to let him enter her apartment. "Sorry that I'm late, I won't stay long, I just wanted to give you, your present."
He lifted his arm and gave her the small Christmas bag he was carrying.
"I've got something for you too." She turned around and grabbed a box from her table.
"This one is for you."
He couldn't help but smile. "What?" "Never mind."
For that he earned himself a punch on his shoulder.
"Sorry I forgot 'Ziva rule number one': Never use the phrase 'never mind'!"
He crossed the small distance between himself and her coffee table. He placed both presents upon the table and pulled her into a soft embrace.
"I was smiling because I think Abby is trying to play Cupid."
"You might be right." Ziva moved closer into the loving embrace of her boyfriend.
He kissed her softly upon her forehead. "Let's unwrap them later." "Good idea."
He followed his girl towards her bedroom. "You know, sooner or later Gibbs is going to kill us."
That was the last sentence he spoke before the bedroom door closed.
