Deeks dropped his phone in Kensi's lap before taking his place beside her. He'd just deposited the remains of their take out in the bin and was ready to relax with his girl for the rest of the night.
"What's this?"
"My phone." Deeks answered before taking a pull on his beer. He could practically hear Kensi rolling her eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you giving it to me?" She refrained from a sarcastic reply and Deeks couldn't help but be impressed with her restraint.
"I want you to look at it."
Kensi raised one eyebrow but swiped across the screen and quickly input his code to bring the phone to life. Immediately the photo album with Catalina's modelling shots popped up. She rolled her eyes for the second time in this exchange and swiped through the same three pictures she'd seen this morning.
"Keep going." He prodded when she stopped on the third photo. Unsure what he was up to but willing to trust him, Kensi swiped again. This time the image of Catalina's profile popped up. It was clearly from an NCIS file. Kensi couldn't stop the smile as she realised that the pictures were part of the file Nell and Eric had put together. The next picture was page two, then three and so on until she got to the end of the file.
"And swipe again." Deeks spoke as she paused on the last page. The image that filled the screen surprised her. It was herself, asleep, in what was clearly Deeks's bed at his new place. It couldn't have been more than a couple of days old. Her hair was fanned out on the pillow and her bare shoulders were peaking out above the sheet.
Kensi looked up at Deeks in surprise and met his smiling eyes. He gestured to the phone and once again she swiped the screen eager to see what other pictures he had. The next one was from the last Saturday they spent on the beach. They'd sat in the sand, her back to his chest and he'd taken a selfie of them. They were smiling, laughing. They were clearly happy and the love was written all over their faces. She loved this photo and made a mental note to send it to herself later. Right now she had more browsing to do. So she swiped again and laughed at the next picture. It was the same day and the first attempt at a selfie, one where monty had decided to be part of the fun and had photo bombed them.
On and on she swiped. Pictures of them together. Pictures of her alone. A few of her in her bikini on the beach. She wanted to roll her eyes at those ones but couldn't bring herself to bother. Some from workouts, some from date nights, even a few with the team. She stopped when she came to a picture of them at the ice rink last Christmas. She'd never seen it before. He had a firm hold on her hand and was skating backwards, pulling her along. She knew it had been taken mere minutes after he'd kissed her and taken her breath away.
"Where did you get this?" She asked as she ran her finger down the screen gently.
"Michelle took it and sent it to me."
Kensi smiled as she pressed a few icons and viewed the album in thumbnail view. Scrolling through she saw that every picture he had featured her. There were even the photos she'd sent him when she was in Afghanistan. Photos that went all the way back to the beginning of their partnership. His phone was full of her and them.
"She may be hot when made up and photoshopped, but you... You are perfection always." Deeks whispered in her ear and Kensi felt the blush rise in her cheeks. She hadn't really been all that annoyed with Deeks appreciation of the model. Catalina was beautiful and exotic, and Kensi realised those were two things she was often called. They had that in common. She smirked as she remembered Sam's comment about being 'married, not dead' and knew that guys would be guys. It didn't mean he loved her any less, or found Catalina more attractive. It was mere appreciation.
"I love you." Kensi whispered as she leaned up to brush her lips against her sweet boyfriend's all too kissable lips.
Ok, so hopefully this idea will be better received than the last. Lol.
