Chapter 5

"Come on Jenny he'll be here soon" Ziva yelled in the direction of the redheads walk in wardrobe where she was changing her outfit for the fifth time.

Ziva was sitting on the windowsill looking out to see if Jenny's hot date had arrived as they suspected he would any minute.

Abby was laying on Jenny's king size bed with all the unwanted outfits scattered around her "Come on Ziva, don't te;; me this isn't exciting" Abby squealed but the Israeli wasn't so enthusiastic and just shrugged her shoulders "Come on Jenny's going on a date she grinned.

"I believe she had been on one before" Ziva eyed the Goth, she remembered Jenny telling her about her many failed dates.

"But this one is different" Abby stated with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"How so?" the brunette asked from her place at the window.

"I can just tell" the bubbly Goth assured.

Finally the door to Jenny's wardrobe opened and she stepped out wearing casual yet almost smart black jeans and a red blouse and matching red heels.

"How do I look?" she asked biting her lip as her friends look in her appearance.

"You look, casual, confident, you look perfect" Abby grinned at her while Ziva nodded.

"And my hair still looks ok" She asked pulling on one of her red locks that were down in a natural curl.

"You look fine" Ziva assured just as an old truck pulled up outside and she saw the sliver haired man get out "He's here" she turned to her friends and smiled.

"You have fun we'll clear all this up" Abby assured Jenny upon seeing the redhead go into panic mode.

"Ok" Jenny nodded taking a deep breath "You two stay up here and don't make a sound" she ordered and both friends nodded just as the doorbell rang.

Jenny checked herself in the mirror once more before walking out of the room and heading downstairs and went to the front door.

She opened it to find Leroy Jethro Gibbs standing on her door step wearing, jeans, shirt with the top of a polo shirt showing from underneath, holding a bunch of orchids "Come on in" she smiled holding the door open for him "You look great" he commented her with a smile "Oh these are for you" he handed her the flower.

"Orchids" she smiled "There my favourite how did you know" she asked with a grin.

"Lucky guess" Gibbs smiled before shrugging his shoulders then turned and grabbed her coat and open for her.

"Thanks" Jenny gave him a smile in return "So where are we going?" she asked doing the buttons of her coat up.

"It's a surprise" Gibbs grinned, he then heard a squeal come from above them, he turned and looked at Jenny and raised an eyebrow, asking what it was.

Jenny took a deep breath before talking "It was my cat" she tried hard not to make it obvious that she was lying.

"Your cat?" Gibbs always knew when people were lying and found it very cute that Jenny was lying.

"Yeah, her names Abby and she gets really excited" Jenny nodded "Shall we go" she took Gibbs's hand and practically dragged him out of the door.

Jenny and Gibbs then made their way over to his truck. He held the passenger side door open for her to get in.

Once Jenny was comfortable in the truck Gibbs went around and got in the driver's side.

He then began to drive them into the heart of D.C before taking a back root to a quieter place, where there was a small secluded restaurant. "I hope you like French food" Gibbs smiled over at her.

"I love French food" Jenny stated in a little bit of shock at how perfect Gibbs was, never had she been on a date with someone who was as perfect as he was.

Five minutes later they sat inside in a romantically lit corner with the menus in front of them. "What can I get you guys to drink?" the waitress asked.

"Bourbon" Jenny asked.

"Make that two" Gibbs added seconds later.

"And to eat ?" the women asked after writing that down.

"Steak au poivre" Gibbs asked.

"Make that two" Jenny added just like Gibbs had moments ago about the drinks.

"Right I'll be back with that" the waitress smiled at the couple before walking away.

Jenny and Gibbs both looked at each other and let out nervous laughs. "So nobody needs you to save them this evening?" she asked leaning forward to him resting her cheek in her hand with her elbow resting on the table.

"Nope, have the night off" Gibbs smiled leaning in closer to her. "And you, no dead marine?" he asked.

"For once no" Jenny smiled at him "So how did you become a surgeon?" she asked.

Gibbs smiled at her "I was in the marines medical core" he explained "Then I got shot in the leg and honourably discharged and still wanted to help the marines so work at Bethesda" he continued just as the waitress came with their drinks.

Jenny nodded "Thought I recognised the hair cut" she explained smiling as she looked at his silver hair that was in a short back and sides style just like his fellow marines.

"Once a marine always a marine" he stated taking a sip of his bourbon.

"Semperfi" Jenny continued.

"Hoo rah" he mumbled into his glass, "How did you end up at NCIS?" he asked.

"Personal reasons" she stated, he automatically felt like he had touched a soft spot "How did you know what NCIS stood for?" Jenny asked remembering he knew what it had stood for.

"Personal reasons" he copied her.

"Ever been married?" Jenny asked, not seeing how a man like him could be single, so charming, so charismatic and definitely very handsome.

"Three times" he stated "Divorced three times" Gibbs added a couple of moments later making Jenny smile. "Same question" he raised an eyebrow.

"Never" she stated just as the food arrived.

They then began to eat in a comfortable silence, Jenny then noticed how he left his asparagus and he noticed her looking at them and him, he gave her a small smile before lifting his plate and pushing the asparagus onto his plate and in return she cut some meat off of her large steak and gave it to him.

Once they were finished Gibbs paid the check while Jenny went to the bathroom when she came back they both left. "You wanna go for a walk?" he asked motioning to the park across the road. Jenny nodded; both didn't want the date to be over just yet.

Jenny shivered a little in the winter cold, Gibbs looked over at her a smiled before wrapping an arm around her waist and pulled her close to share their body heat, Jenny gave him a small smile before resting her head on his shoulder both feeling very comfortable. Everything just came so natural for them.

To passers-by they must have looked like a couple who had been together for years not the hours they had been. After one lap around, the air began to get colder and they decided like all good things the date had to end.

When they reached Jenny's house Gibbs walked her to her front door, "Thank you for tonight Jethro" Jenny smiled to him "I've really had a great time"

"Me too Jen, we should do it again" he nodded, not really wanting to leave.

Both eyed each other for a moment, Jenny then leant in for the kill, their lips met in a sweet slow kiss, Jenny felt like fireworks were going off in her head, she'd never felt such electricity with someone before.

The couple were disappointed when they need for air over came the want for each other. "I need to go" Gibbs mumbled against her lips before resting his forehead against hers.

"You sure?" Jenny asked breathlessly before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

"Yeah I have surgery in the morning, I'll call you tomorrow" he pulled away.

"You better" Jenny called after Gibbs as he walked down the drive to his cars.
