Tony waited for about thirty minutes before he logged back into his web cam and called Ziva. He was glad to see she was online but sad that she wasn't at the computer. He saw her walk into the room in her bath towel and smiled. He whistled at her and she quickly turned in shock and then glared at him. She walked over and sat down in front of the computer.

"Are you a peeping cat now?" She asked teasingly.

"Tom Zi, and no I am not, I just got lucky." He winked at her.

She blushed. "So are you getting ready to go out tonight with Abby?"

"Yes I am. What are you doing tonight?"

"I am sitting here on my balcony looking at the ocean."

She sighed. "Is it beautiful?"

"Eh, it's alright. It's not as beautiful as you though." Shit, did I say that out loud? Maybe she didn't notice. He thought.

Oh she noticed alright. Her eyes widened. And she smiled. "I am in a towel Tony. And my hair is wet. I am not beautiful."

He grinned. "That is where you are wrong my crazy ninja. That is why you are beautiful." He winked at her again.

"Get your mind out of the sewer Tony." She teased.

"Gutter sweet cheeks."

"Whatever it is. Stop thinking it." She laughed. She had missed him correcting her English all the time. She was glad now that it was just them and that Abby wasn't standing there with her like earlier. She had missed his voice and his face. She noticed he was sporting a scruffy look now. Which made him all the more attractive.

"You're no fun." He laughed.

"I am plenty of fun. I promise you that."

"So what are you crazy girls doing tonight?" He wanted to switch the subject before they got in to uncomfortable territory. That had always been their thing, they teased up to a certain point. Making sure to never cross that invisible line.

"Abby said something about going to a karaoke bar." She said.

"Zee-vah Dav-eed. You're going to sing karaoke? Abby better get video!" He said playfully.

"I said that we were going not that I was going to be singing." She said glaring at him.

"Well then you better get some video of Abby singing. She will definitely be singing. Especially if you girls are drinking." He seemed a little sad to Ziva.

She smiled. "I promise if she sings I will video it and send it to you. I wish you were here to go with us though."

"Me too." He looked up out at the ocean. Ziva could tell he had something else on his mind. And as much as she would rather sit and talk to Tony all night she needed to get dressed. Abby would be there soon to get her.

"Well," she said breaking the silence and he turned to look at her. "I have to finish getting dressed. Abby will be here soon and she will be very upset if I am still sitting in my towel not ready to go."

He chuckled. "Okay. Have fun."

"I will talk to you soon, yes?" She asked unsure. She really hoped he didn't wait another three weeks to call her.

"Of course. Good night." He seemed distant but she let it slide. She would find out what was bothering him when she had more time. Maybe tomorrow night she would call him.

"Good night Tony." With that they both disconnected.

Tony shut down his lap top and sat it in the bag next to him. He sat on the balcony thinking about what he was doing here. He knew he deserved the promotion. He had done a great job at their first case. The team here respected him. So why did he still feel like he was missing something. Maybe it wasn't so much as something but maybe someone. Ziva. He ran his hands over his face and decided to go for a walk. He rolled up his pant legs and carried his flip flops in his hands walking on the shoreline. As the water came up and hit his ankles. He walked for a couple miles letting the thoughts swirl around in his head.

He noticed this pretty brunette run by him. She smiled as she did. Maybe he should try and move on. Ziva and Abs were going out tonight. Maybe he should too. Get out and meet someone new. Someone to get his mind off of her.

A/N: So what do you all think? And do you all like the longer chapters or the shorter ones?
