"Kiss me" Ziva said following along behind a hurrying McGee.
"No"
"McGee…Look you already agreed that you wouldn't want our first kiss to be when we are on surveillance and everyone is watching. So? Kiss me"
"No" McGee dodged around the side of a desk and attempted to loose Ziva but she was determined.
"McGee. Look its not a big deal just turn around and kiss me…"
"Ziva! Stop chasing me. Look you're the one making it a big deal. I will kiss you when I'm ready ok? Just not now I have stuff I need to get done. And besides…"
"What? Why won't you kiss me?" Ziva huffed and put her hands on her hips. This was getting ridiculous. If he continued this she was just going to tackle him and kiss him. He was proving to be quite difficult to sneak up on and kiss.
Tim turned and faced Ziva exasperated and threw his hands up in the air.
"We are standing in the middle of the bullpen! This is no more private or less embarrassing then when we are going to be on the case. Besides I need to run through the names of the other delegates and make sure I know who I am supposed to already have had some contact with and who is an actual stranger to me. The clocks ticking Ziva and you chasing me around really isn't helping."
McGee picked up the file he had been after off his desk and headed out of the bull pen with Ziva again following.
"But McGee…it's a little kiss. How long will it take for us to kiss? A few seconds? And then we will have got one more thing out of the way. Come on I can't be that hideous surely?"
"It's not that I think you're hideous Ziva…quite the opposite…but I don't want to kiss you here…or now. Look we have to get ready and we only have a few hours so if you don't mind?"
"Yes I do mind. This is silly. You are making it a big deal and its not. It's just a little kiss"
"You think me kissing you is no big deal? Well it is to me and I would like to be able to at least be thinking about it when we finally…. Look please stop chasing me!"
"Then kiss me!" Ziva was firm and McGee almost broke into a trot trying to get away from the persistent Mossad Agent.
"Kiss Me!" Ziva demanded
"No!" McGee insisted dodging around under the stairs and making another pass by Tony's desk in the hope that if he could double back he could make it alone to the elevators.
"Kiss me McGee"
"No Ziva! How many times do I have to tell you No!"
Tony sat back and watched as Ziva foiled McGee's plan and was again right by his side clutching at his jacket sleeve and begging him to kiss her. He leaned back from where he was cheekily perched on the edge of Gibbs desk watching his fellow team members and spoke to Gibbs.
"Do you ever get one of those Twilight Zone days? You know where everything is the opposite from the way it should be?"
"Kiss me McGee right now or I will only kiss you more when we are undercover and then you won't be able to do anything about it. Ha take that!"
"Ziva when we are undercover you can kiss me as much as you like. Go nuts but can you please let me go? I still have to go home and pack…"
"Kiss me"
"No"
Gibbs watched Ziva and McGee bicker with a smirk and shook his head.
"Constantly"
Abby stood on the other side of Gibbs desk and looked thoughtful.
"Maybe if I came around the other side and trapped him then Ziva could get her kiss? Tony could you help head McGee in our direction?"
Tony groaned and threw his hands up in the air
"What is with everyone today? I am NOT participating in any stupid plan where McGee gets kisses. I only participate in stupid plans where TONY gets kisses."
"Kiss me!"
"No! I have to go. I will see you later." McGee disappeared into the elevator with a slightly panicked look and Ziva huffed. She hadn't expected it to be so hard to get McGee to kiss her.
She sat down at her desk with a pout and Abby came over and gave her back a pat.
"There, there Ziva. Timmy will kiss you later. Don't worry. He's just a bit distracted and worried at the moment. Lots on his shoulders and the chasing him around the office in front of everyone probably didn't help"
Ziva looked up at Abby sadly "He didn't want to kiss me. Would you want to kiss me if I asked nicely Abby?"
Abby smiled and nodded enthusiastically "Oh yes I would certainly kiss you Ziva if you asked me too."
Ziva leaned forward smiling "Oh good because I was…."
There was a thudding sound as Tony fell off Gibbs' desk and landed in a pile on the floor. He popped his head back up quickly with an eager smile on his face.
"Oh please continue…don't mind me"
Ziva threw a wad of screwed up paper at his head and Abby laughed. Gibbs took of his reading glasses and frowned at his agent still on the floor.
"DiNozzo?"
"Yeah Boss?"
"Get back to work would you?"
Tony sighed as he felt the moment pass
"Yes Boss"
