A/N: WOW! I just want to thank all of you! You made my day!! The reviews totally made me smile and my hangover seem less severe!!! LOL! I really thought you guys just didn't like the story anymore but you proved me wrong!!! So here is the next installment into Mickey Scuito! Enjoy!

"I Love you!"

Ziva stood stunned. He couldn't possibly be serious. He was only saying that so that she wouldn't be mad at him. Right?

"Zee? Say something. Please." He begged.

She opened her mouth to say something but no sound would come out. She closed it and opened it again this time only getting out "Uh."

"Zee?"

"Why?" She said finally.

"Why?" He laughed a little. "Why do I love you? I could name a hundred reasons…where should I start? You're a bad ass…"

"No! Not why do you love me. Why are you saying it now?"

"I don't understand the question."

"Are you saying I love you because you don't want me to be mad about you and Mickey? If that is the case you should not be saying it. Because it does not make the situation better. You should not say it if you do not mean it."

Tony reached up and cupped her face with one hand keeping a hold of her hand with the other. "I am not saying it so that you are not mad. I am saying it so that you know how I feel about you. I love you Ziva David. I am tired of pretending like we are just friends. I want you as more than just a friend."

Ziva let out a ragged breath that she had been holding. She leaned into his touch. "I…I want to be more than friends as well."

He leaned in so that his forehead rested against hers. He placed both hands on her waist and pulled her closer to him. Ziva wrapped her arms around his torso, they leaned in at the same time and he pressed his lips to her in a sweet kiss. It was soft and full of love.

Things were starting to heat up between them when they were interrupted with a knock on the door. Tony was the first to pull back still not letting her go. She smiled at him. "Why are we always being interrupted." He said a little agitated.

"I do not know." She stood on her toes and kissed him quickly once before turning to go answer the door.

He grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him. "Ignore them. They'll go away." He leaned in and kissed her again passionately but the knock on the door was louder this time. "Ugh."

She gave him a few quick kisses. "They are not going away."

"Fine I guess you can answer it. Just hurry back." He smiled at her.

She went and pulled open the door and was immediately upset. "Why are you here?"

Mickey stood there smiling. "I came to speak to you. About earlier."

"Okay." Ziva looked at her skeptically but still remained standing in the door keeping Mickey from coming in.

"May I come in?" Mickey said trying to see around Ziva.

"I have company at the moment. Can we make this quick?" Ziva said making sure Tony could not be seen.

Tony had heard Mickey's voice and moved out of view of the door. The last thing they needed was Mickey telling Gibbs that he and Ziva were together.

"Can I meet your mystery man?" Mickey started to tease. She knew it was Tony. She had seen his car outside.

"No. What can I do for you Mickey?" Ziva just really wanted her to leave so that she and Tony could continue with what they were doing.

"Ok. Well I just wanted to apologize to you. You were right. It was inappropriate of me to flirt with Tony like that in front of you. Especially since you like him but I just wanted you to know that I really like him too. And I am not ready to give up just yet."

Ziva's mouth dropped open. "I do not like Tony. What makes you say that?"

Mickey laughed. "It is very obvious. You don't hide it as well as you may think. Abby thinks it is obvious too."

Ziva couldn't believe it. "So what exactly are saying?"

"I am saying that you are going to have a little competition." With that she walked away.

Ziva slammed the door shut and turned and found Tony standing behind her. She glared at him.

"You okay?"

"No, no I am not okay. I cannot believe her." She fumed.

Tony rubbed his hands up and down her arms and pulled her into a hug. She was resistant at first but eventually returned the hug.

He continued to hold her while he whispered in her ear. "There is obviously no competition."

She lifted her head to look in his eyes. "Promise?"

"I promise." He pulled her into another kiss. Trying to comfort her.

She eagerly returned the kiss running her hands through his hair. She pushed him up against the wall never breaking the kiss. His hands were on her waist and her thumb traced small circles on her back. Which elicited a moan from her. His hand started to move under her shirt.

She mumbled against his lips. "Tony, I love you too."

He smiled and pulled her into a kiss.

She pulled away and led him back to her bedroom. Tonight would be just about them. They would deal with everyone else tomorrow.
