The Turn Around Chapter 3
"I could sleep in the guest room. Think about your back. If you sleep on the couch then you'll wake it with it hurting like hell"
"Are you sure if you really want to you can sleep in the guest room?" Said Gibbs, looking at Abby
"Yeah I'm sure."
"Well my back will be fine. But it will be a little sore but I'm used to it. Believe me you have no idea what the worst is."
Abby is leaning against the headboard reading the latest edition of the forensics journal
"You're beautiful Abby" Said Gibbs, looking at her lovingly
Gibbs watches her start to read and then goes into the master bedroom to start the shower
Once he showers, he goes into the bedroom to see Abby dozing; he walks over and covers her up
"Night Abby"
….
"I love you Gibbs" Mumbled Abby
"I love you too Abby" Said Gibbs, shocked then sighs. He kisses her on the cheek in a more sensual way "love you too"
Gibbs moves over to the other side of the bed, lays down, and watches Abby sleep. He falls asleep with Abby's 'I love you' on his mind.
Hours later, Gibbs wakes up to light shinning through the window. He gets up and goes downstairs to start to make coffee.
"I shouldn't have stayed last night!"
Abby sleeps in until 11
"Man how long can she sleep in?" Ask Gibbs as he looks at the time "Wow I guess I better make lunch"
Abby wakes up to the smell of food drifting through the room. She gets up and goes downstairs
"Well hello there sleepy head! Good morning!" Said Gibbs as he met Abby by the stairwell
"Ow Gibbs! That was my ear" Said Abby as she moves from the stairs
"Sorry I couldn't help myself. I made grilled cheese. Want some?"
"Sure."
Gibbs chuckles when he sees her hair all messed up. They both go into the kitchen and then they start to eat.
"What?" Says Abby as she sees Gibbs looking at her and smiling
"Nothing." Said Gibbs, looking like an innocent child caught in the cookie jar
Abby raises an eyebrow
"You and your crazy hair is what is making me smiles a lot! See what you can do to me"
"What?!" Said Abby as she gets up and goes over to the toaster "Awe man" as she fixes her hair
"You looks crazy but that is not the only reason why I'm smiling" Laughs Gibbs
Abby walks back to the table and continues to eat
"Why else are you smiling?"
"Well you stayed with me all night and I had fun. I felt relax for the first time in along awhile. I woke up with a pretty woman next to me and I'm eating lunch with her." Smiled Gibbs
"Well I'm glad you had fun. I love spending time with you"
"Abby, do you remember what you said last night?"
"Hmm no. Why?"
"Uh never mind" Said Gibbs, nervous as he moves in his seat "I guess I was just hearings things" Said Gibbs, not looking into her eyes
"Wait a minute.. Did I say the L word?"
"Yes." Said Gibbs, still can't look at Abby in the eyes
"I uh... gotta go" Said Abby as she got up
"Oh wait please don't go" Said Gibbs, pleadingly
"Okay" Said Abby as she sat back down and started to eat again
"Abby did you hear what I said after you said that?" Ask Gibbs as he grabbed her hand to stop her from eating
Abby looks at him
"Uh"
"What did I say?" Asks Gibbs as he looked into her green eyes lovingly
Abby's eyes go wide then gasps
"That uh you.. love me"
"Yes Abby I love you. I mean it. I understand if you don't" Said Gibbs, looking into her eyes then looks away
"For how long?"
"For about two years now." Said Gibbs as he looked back at her but not into her eyes
"I have loved you since the first day we met. It just took me awhile to realize it." Said Abby, looking at him
"Really?!" Said Gibbs, shocked
Abby nods
Gibbs stands up and closes the space between him and Abby
Abby just watches him as he comes closer to her
Once he reaches her, he starts to feel insecure and he looks away.
"Something wrong?"
"Nervous I guess."
"There's no reason to be nervous Gibbs. Its just me. If you want to kiss me then go ahead. I'm not forcing you into anything."
With that, Gibbs puts his hand on her hips and then slowly leans in giving her a chance to back out if she wanted too. But she didn't back out, she met him halfway and then... they kissed.
Gibbs' thoughts
'O god she's a good kisser NO! Don't you dare let blood rush down.'
Abby's thoughts
'Oh my god! I'm kissing Leroy Jethro Gibbs. And it feels absolutely amazing!'
