February 4th Lyrics
All that I am, all that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know when, confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

Drabble 3 Part 5
Even though, Callen had expected her not to call, he'd been disappointed. However, thirty minutes ago, that disappointment had transformed into anger. Deeks had called him saying that Nell was ignoring all texts and phone calls from the team, and even her mother. He didn't question how Deeks knew about Nell's mother as he was taken off guard that Nell was ignoring everyone. As soon as he got off the phone, he said his goodbyes, and left Sam's barbeque. As he drove from Sam's to Nell's, he had called her, but was ignored.
He was surprised that Nell had opened the door as he had been fully prepared to pick the lock as he had threatened.
"Come in, or would you rather yell at me from there."
"Nell."
"No, don't. I understand that I was being careless and unprofessional about not answering the team's calls, but I needed some space from work. If Hetty had called or a work number, I would've answered."
"I agree that you were being careless, but we both know that this has nothing to do with work."
She bit her lip and started to back away. Simultaneously, he grabbed her waist and gently kicked the door close.
"Callen!"
He picked her up and placed her against the door; pinning his knee between her legs, and placing his forearms on the door on either side of her shoulders, successfully trapping her between him and the door. She shuddered at the overwhelming sensations that the position caused. He bent his head and the breath on her ear made her shudder once more.
With his each word whispered, he butterfly kissed her earlobe. "Nell, I don't do relationships."
She winced, silent tears formed in her eyes, and she pushed at his chest as if that would make him let her go. "If you were looking for a one night stand, last night was your chance."
"Let me finish." Again, with every word he said, his lips caressed her earlobe, which made her shudder and her breathing shallower. "I don't do relationships and I know that you don't like the R word. I heard you and Eric talking about the flowers you did not send yourself."
"How do you know?"
"I sent them."
Nell could not believe it. She had told Eric that she had sent them, because not knowing who had sent them was awkward enough, but Eric would have started a search to identify her secret admirer. "You sent them?"
"Yes, you were having several bad days; I wanted you to smile."
"Oh."
He pecked her on the cheek before his piercing blue eyes met her watering hazel.
"I didn't forget. Did you?"
"Forget? Forget what?"
"Nell, this is your, our last chance. I walk out that door…"
"I'm scared."
"Of me?"
"No."
"What then?"
"I'll screw it up."
"Babe, it's not going to be easy, or perfect, but our relationship would be worth it."
"I want you, Callen."
"I want you, too. Kiss me."
She did.
