Chapter 6
It had been three weeks since Jenny and Gibbs's first date and they had gone on two more since then and often 'bumped into each other' at the coffee shop they both loved. Everything was perfect, they were prefect, Gibbs was perfect, He worked hard and a lot of the time but so did she and the small amounts of time when they got for each other was relished.
"So how are things with Dr Blue eyes?" Abby asked Jenny as she sat on the edge of Tim's desk slurping away at her second caf-pow of the day while the other agents sat finishing case reports.
Jenny looked up and gave her friend a small smile "They're fine" she mumbled, a little shy about telling her team, her friends, her family about the man that she was beginning to feel strong feelings for although she was terrified to admit it.
"How was your date on Saturday night?" Ziva asked looking up from the file in front of her, loving the idea of a distraction from the mountains of work they still had to do
"We worked on his boat together, had Chinese, drank bourbon, it was nice" Jenny smiled.
"He has a boat?" Tony asked with a slight snort of laughter.
"Yes, He's building it in his basement" Jenny eyed Tony carefully, daring the Italian to say something horrible about her man.
Tony smiled "How's he gunna get it out?" he asked.
Jenny nodded that was an honest and legitimate question, as for the answer she had absolutely no idea "I dunno maybe I'll have to stick around long enough to find out" Jenny suggested "That is hoping he isn't sick of me already" she added before going back to her work.
"Oh I don't think he's getting sick of you" Abby giggled making Jenny looked up.
"How do you know?" the redhead asked raising an eyebrow at the bubbly Goth.
"Because he's coming straight towards us" the younger women broke out into a grin, Jenny looked over to the elevator where Abby had been motioning and just like she had said Leroy Jethro Gibbs was coming straight towards them, looking sexy as ever in his shirt, polo shirt and trousers.
"Hey" Jenny greeted him with a smile as Gibbs rounded the corner of the bullpen.
"Hi" he grinned at her in return.
"What brings you to me neck of the woods?" she asked, both ignoring the intense staring from the team.
"There were a mix up with some papers and I need Mr DiNozzo to sign some papers about his release, Dr Gelfand is just one of those useless interns" he added shaking his head before turning to Tony and handing him some forms.
Jenny then got out of her chair and walked Gibbs over to the window "That all you came for?" she asked raising and eyebrow at him.
Gibbs smiled at the beautiful redhead "Gelfand wanted to come and give the forms to DiNozzo but I wanted to come and see you" he grinned before pulling her close by her waist while her arms wound round his neck "Permission to kiss you?" he asked, not sure if it was ok to show a public display of affection.
"You never have to asked" she giggled before pulling him close and running her hands in his hair before kissing him.
Moments later they pulled away because they need air, both couldn't help the smiles on their faces, Gibbs opened his mouth to say something when his pager went off, he groaned before looking down at the machine that was hooked to his belt, "I have to get back, I'm needed at the hospital"
"I understand" Jenny assured him before giving him another quick kiss on the lips.
Gibbs nodded to her "I'll call you later" he assured and Jenny nodded before they walked back to Jenny's team.
"All signed" Tony handed Gibbs back the forms.
"Thanks" Gibbs nodded "See yah guys" he said to the others before turning to the elevator. Jenny sighed as she watched him walk away; she could never get enough of Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
"Special Agent Shepard, can I see you in my office now!" They team and Jenny turned to find Director Daniel Davis was standing on the catwalk in front of the catwalk glaring daggers at Jenny standing below him.
Jenny nodded to him and watched him walk back to his office, "You gunna be ok?" Abby asked, the whole team knew after a night at the bar when Jenny had drunk too much and ended up telling them the story of how her now boss broke her heart and then that's when they understood why Jenny couldn't stand the man.
"Yeah" Jenny nodded before going up the stairs taking two at a time and then headed to the director's office "What can I do for you director?" she asked wanting to get this over with so she could go back to her job.
"What do you think you are doing?" Daniel asked eyeing the redhead evilly.
"Doing my job" Jenny spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"No I mean you and that….. that…man" the director flailed his arms about "You two showing public displays of affection in the middle of the bullpen" he explained.
Jenny eyed Daniel carefully; she could obviously see the jealousy he was giving off "He is my boyfriend" she explained "I don't think anyone other than you really cared let alone noticed" she explained.
"In future Special Agent Shepard, do not bring your dates into work, it should only be the people with the right clearance" he scolded her.
The redhead smiled "Fine" she then turned on her heels to walk away, fully aware that her ex was watching her.
"Everything ok?" Ziva asked when Jenny walked back into the bullpen.
"Yep, he's just jealous" she gave her friend a small smile before going back to her desk.
Hours later Gibbs pulled into his driveway after hours or surgery, all he wanted was to go home and curl up in a ball and sleep, he smiled when he noticed the familiar car outside his house.
Quietly he walked into his house, being careful encase his guest was fast asleep, so he crept slowly into the lounge and through into the kitchen.
He noticed the half-eaten cartons of Chinese food on the side and smiled once more before pulling out a fork from the cutlery draw and eating some of the now cold take-out.
Then Gibbs made his way into the lounge in search of his guessed deciding that they were probably upstairs.
A groan from the sofa stopped him in his tracks, he turned and immediately saw the red hair and knew it was her.
Jenny was curled up asleep on his sofa, her red curls covering her face, carefully Gibbs leant down and pushed them out of her face and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Then he stood, debating whether to wake her or not, to leave her on the sofa or to carry her upstairs, stifling a yawn he made his decision and removed his shoes, sock and shirt before grabbing the blanket off of the back of the sofa and being careful not to wake her, laid down behind her on the sofa so he was spooning her and pulled the blanket around them.
Jenny automatically snuggled into him while he wrapped a comfortable hand around her waist and pressed another kiss to her forehead before letting sleep take him, feeling the most at rest and comfortable he had in years.
