"It's not like that. It was just a mistake."

"Oh, am I not good enough for you? I see how it is."

"No, I…I didn't mean it like that. I was just trying to get him off our case." He turned towards her to explain.

"DiNozzo! So you're lying to me? Not a wise move." Gibbs raised his eyebrows

"Umm, Boss. No, that's not what I was doing. The thing is. I...I-"

Ziva cut in "What he means to say is that this is the frustration between us. We work very closely with each other. And I suppose over time...feelings have developed. We care for each other and this isn't just some silly hook up. I am not one of his hook ups."

DiNozzo just stared at Ziva with his jaw wide open as a result of what she was saying. Is she telling me how she feels but through Gibbs? What is going on?

Ziva nudged Tony. "Ow! What was that for? Umm, yeah. That's right. This isn't just some hook up. Well, it sort of is, but what I mean is I really like Ziva. And I don't mean just a crush." He could feel himself rambling on, but he didn't care. "At first it was a crush, but then things just developed and I realised I liked her. I really really really like her. So much that we haven't told each other yet, but instead we're sitting here naked in bed, telling you guys who are here for what reason exactly?"

Ziva just stared at Tony, she could feel her heart racing. He finally said it. I can't believe it. Not exactly the best circumstances, but at this point it's doesn't matter.

Abby looked like she was about to explode with happiness as she started jumping up and down to express her excitement.

McGee stood shaking his head, trying not to picture what had been going on.

"Well, Tim and I were getting drinks and we were telling each other what we wanted for Christmas. Then Gibbs rang and told us there had been two burglaries in your apartment complex, so we all raced over here. Then I thought I could smell Ziva and we all knew what was going on, so then we found you like this an-"

"Abz, take a moment to breathe. Just relax!" Gibbs said in a concerned tone.

"Well, that's quite an explanation you have there, Abby. Thanks for the detail." DiNozzo added sarcastically.

"Um, well we'll leave you two to get on with whatever you were up to ." McGee headed for the door.

"Remember, Tony. Rules are made to be broken." Gibbs winked.

"Just look after each other and don't let it get in the way of work. Oh, and DiNozzo?"

"Yes, Boss?"

"You hurt Ziva in any way, and I'm coming for you." Gibbs said pointing at Tony.

"Oh, don't you worry, Gibbs. If he ever hurts me, I was taught torture techniques while in Mossad." She giggled.

Tony's face turned pale as she squeezed his leg.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Boss." He let out a nervous laugh.

Gibbs, McGee and Abby all the left the apartment.

"Right, now where were we?" She questioned with a cheeky smile.
