"Ziva, you need to get me out of here, please!" Tony said after he had eaten another terrible hospital breakfast.
"How? Dr. Benoit says you can not leave!" She told him. Today was the day Tony was originally suppossed to go home, but Jeanne was now insisting he stay an additional three days.
"I think she's making me stay because I wouldn't quit NCIS for her" He told he quietly.
"Well I could understand how someone would be upset with not being able to be with you." She said, sitting down on the side of his bed and kissing him.
"You too are sooo cute!" Abby yelled from the doorway, walking into the room.
Ziva quickly stood up blushing. That had been the third time Abby had caught them kissing in the past two days. Gibbs was letting Ziva stay off work until Tony was allowed out of the hospital, so she had been spending all her time there, only going home for about an hour a day to shower and change, usually when Tony was sleeping.
"You're blushing again." Tony said, only making her blush more.
"I am not. It is just hot in here, I am flushed." Ziva said, lying.
"Liar." Tony accused.
"I am not lying, I am going to get coffee." she said teasing Tony, because Jeanne had said he couldn't have coffee til he left. He was as addicted to it now as much as Gibbs was. He gave her the death stare. "Joking, Tony." she said and giggled, trying to seem adorable so he wouldn't get mad.
"You're doing that thing again!" He said.
"What thing?" she said twisting a piece of her hair around her finger
"Looking cute so he won't get mad."Abby told her. " You do it whenever he might get mad at you."
"Oh, I am not doing anything." Ziva said, smiling.
"It worked, so you can stop it now."Tony admitted.
"Great." she said, walking over to the other side of his bead and sitting in the chair.
"Do you ever leave here Ziva?" Abby asked, taking the seat next to her.
"Yeah, for about an hour everyday, usually when he sleeps." She said.
"She just can't get enough of me, I mean I'm just so irresistible." Tony joked and then winked at Ziva.
"Oh yes." Ziva said sarcastically.
"So when are you two going to get married?" Abby asked
"WHAT? WHO SAID WE WERE GETTING MARRIED?" Ziva and Tony yelled at the same time.
''Calm down! I just thought you guys would go and get married, that's what happens in the movies!" Abby said
"This isn't a movie Abby.'' Tony told her, starting to laugh
"Well I just assumed you would want to live you life like one." Abby said, shrugging.
"You're so wierd Abby." McGee said coming into the room,hearing the whole marriage conversation from down the hall.
"Am not." Abby said , getting defensive.
"Calm down, I thinks it's cute." McGee said "Hey whats that?" McGee said pointing to the window, when they all looked he head slapped Tony. "Ha that's the 10th one!"
"What?" Abby said.
"Oh, McGee has been head slapping me since Ziva was discharged, Gibbs doesn't come to the hospital anymore, so he knows he wont get trouble. That was tenth time." Tony explained, he didn't really care about the head slaps. They were much softer than Gibbs ever were.
"You're letting him get away with that Ziva?" Abby asked
"I did not see anything." Ziva answered and she pretended she was admiring her finger nails.
"You two are so lucky I can't get up." Tony said, laughing. "You guys are so childish."
"Yeah, we're the childish ones." McGee said, joining in on his laughter. McGee's phone rang,Gibbs was calling to tell and Abby they had to come back to NCIS because they had a case.
"Would you ever want to?" Tony asked Ziva when they were left alone in the room.
"Would I ever want to what?" She asked.
"Get married?" He asked being completely serious.
"To you?'' She asked
"No, Gibbs." He said sarcastically.
"Oh yes, I find him quite sexy actually." She joked, playing along.
"Really? What appeals to you the most? Is it his handy boat building skills?" He teased
"That is a little of it." She said getting up and walking over so she was right next to his bed. "His haircut just drives me crazy. And that fact that he says so little, makes him mysterious, you know, in a sexy way."
"So everything that is the opposite of me you find sexy?" he asked pretending to sound hurt. "I have no boat building skills, my hair is pretty up to date, and I think I my talk a little more than Gibbs. I'll be the flower girl at your wedding. I can see it now, you too in the middle of the ocean on your boat, with the whole team there of course. I'll come down the isle with my little basket of flowers petals, and I'll take everyone's breath away, I'll just look so adorable. Then you'll come into view. And you will look.." He took a dramatic pause and looked he up and down "decent I guess."
She punched him in the arm and they both laughed. He wrapped his arms round her waist and pulled her as close to him as he could, not being allowed to move his leg was making many things difficult.
"I don't think I would be able to let you do it. I think I'd steal you, throw us overboard and swim to some abandoned island where we could grow old together." he said, his face was so close to hers that while he spoke his lips had brushed against hers. She closed the space between their lips, which was probably about a millimeter. She never got tired of kissing him.
Each time they kissed, it felt like the first time all over again. When their lips touched the butterflies erupted in his stomach. Every time they kissed Tony wished he could just rip her clothes off and have her right there, but that would probably be frowned upon by most of the nurses and doctors. He longed for every inch of her body to be touching his. The feel of her was just so amazing. If he didn't get to go home soon so he could be fully alone with her, he would probably die. It was almost pathetic how desperate he was.
"Oops" they heard a voice from the door, they pulled apart to see Jimmy standing there nervously.
"Autopsy Gremlin, who dare let you out of the dungeon in daylight?" Tony teased
"I didn't mean to intrude, I could come back if you two are , uhh, busy. It's just I haven't been able to visit and I feel bad and I'm not sure when I'll get another chance." Jimmy rambled
"No, Jimmy,you are fine." Ziva said getting up from the bed.
"So it seems that you two are in pretty good health." Jimmy said smiling at them.
"Were great" Ziva told him.
"I know how I can get out of here!" Tony said suddenly. "You could sneak me out in a body bag, Jimmy."
"You're not going anywhere, Tony." Jeanne said as she came in the room. "I could just cut your leg off if you keep whining."
"I don't think doctors are supposed to threaten their patients." Tony said and laughed.
"For you we'll make an exception." She said smiling.
"Why can't I go home, seriously?" he asked her as she check all of his monitors and fluids.
"Because I said so." she said before walking towards the day.
"Fine then, you're acting like my mother!" he called after her
"Insults wont get you out any quicker"she called back.
He was so happy they were still able to joke after their brake up. He thought that there was a little piece inside of them both that knew that it wouldn't have lasted.
"So Jimmy, have you missed me being on team Gibbs?" Tony asked, he'd been meaning to ask everyone but it kept slipping his mind
"Yeah, everyone seems so distracted with you gone. I think everyone blames themselves in some way."
"That's exactly what I didn't want to hear" Tony grumbled
"What I meant to say is we have a party every day because were so happy you're gone." Jimmy said, and all three of them laughed.
"I've taught you well Jimmy" Tony said, still laughing.
