Gibbs looked at his watch again for the 3RD time.

"McGee, try DiNozzo's cell." He ordered.

"Again boss?" McGee questioned, making a probie mistake. "on it boss." He said when he saw Gibbs stare at him.

Ziva was in another passionate kiss with Tony. They had sat in her car in the NCIS car park for the past hour.

Her cell began to ring, she looked at the caller ID as Tony trailed kisses down her neck.

"McGee." She mumbled.

Tony chuckled against her neck. "No, it's Tony, honestly, first you call me Gibbs, now McGee.."

She slapped his arm playfully. "Tony, we should go in now. We have been sitting here for an hour. And Gibbs'll be waiting for us."

"Let him wait.." Tony murmured.

When they finally made it to their office Gibbs was ..Gibbs. He slapped them both on their heads, glared at Tony then got McGee to brief them on the case.

"Get the car," Gibbs ordered and threw the keys at Tony. "and take McGee!" Gibbs shouted as an afterthought.

Ziva looked at Gibbs waiting for her orders.

"Ziva, I want you to stay here till the Director assigns us an agent here to take over."

Ziva began to protest "But-"

Gibbs glared at her.

She gave up. "Fine."

"Uh boss," Tony said glancing around as Gibbs climbed into the passenger. "Where's Ziva?"

Gibbs took a sip from his coffee and tried his best not to smirk as his senior agent squirmed in his seat, he looked in the rear-view mirror to see McGee looking out of the window inconspicuously, biting back a smile.

"Boss?"

Gibbs glanced at Tony. Tony's face was screwed up in worry.

"she's not coming." Gibbs finally said.

"Oh!" said Tony.

Gibbs saw the disappointment evident on Tony's face. He gave him a moment to recover then said "DiNozzo."

Tony broke out of his reverie. "Boss?"

"Let's go."

McGee smiled as his cell phone rang, Abby. They had just arrived at the hotel. Tony and Gibbs were at the bar and he was in his room.

"Timmy!" Abby screamed.

"Abby," McGee said softly.

"I miss you!"

"I miss you too Abby!"

"Let me talk to Tony!" Abby ordered.

McGee began to laugh. "Tony and Gibbs are at the bar!"McGee laughed again. "Abby, Tony's been in such a bad mood all day. He's hardly said anything! Not one movie reference and he's called me McGee all day!"

"Poor Tony!" Abby sighed.

"How are things down your end? Ziva killed anyone for breathing yet?" he said chuckling.

"McGee.." Abby said slowly.

"No really, I still can't get over it. Every time Gibbs's phone rang on the way Tony's head would just snap towards him trying to figure out if it was Ziva!" McGee chuckled.

"McGee.." Abby said again.

"She's right next to you isn't she?" McGee said with a gulp.

Ziva broke in, "Yes McGee." Then to Abby, "I am going home Abby, I will see you tomorrow."

Abby said goodbye and McGee mumbled a bye.

"McGee!" Abby scolded.

"WHAT?!" he said frustrated.

"She's been really quiet all day! She misses him!"

"Sorry Abs, I didn't know she was there!"

"Obviously! And did you just call me "Abs"?!"

3 days later..

Ziva stepped out of the car and smoothed down her pencil black skirt and ignored the stares of what Tony would call "Surfer dudes." Their case was not as simple as they had thought and the agent that the director had assigned to them at the NCIS headquarters had finally arrived.

She locked the car and walked followed the path to the beach, she scolded herself for wearing her heels as they clicked on the stone pavement. She scanned the crowd for Gibbs and saw..

Tony.

He had his back turned to her, but she'd recognise him anywhere, from any angle. She had memorised every little thing about him..

He was wearing a pair of white shorts which were riding dangerously low, she could see the top of his sky blue boxers. The shorts contrasted his tanned skin; he always tanned so easily, she thought. Ziva's eyes rested on his muscular back. It had only been 3 days, yet it felt like so much longer. Just seeing him there made her feel week at the knees, her eyes automatically flickered to his tattoo, she smirked a little.

He was standing with McGee and Gibbs. She could see McGee moving his hands about enthusiastically explaining something. She could just picture him rolling his eyes. Her smirk grew wider.

Then McGee saw her, he waved and Gibbs caught her eye.

Tony turned around to see her smirk. His eyes took in the sight of her. She made him breathless. It had only been 3 days. Tony turned to see Gibbs smirk at Tony's stunned face. "Come on then DiNozzo." He said to Tony who was lagging behind a little.

As they walked towards her Ziva tried to look anywhere but at Tony's chest and his extremely low shorts. He grinned, he knew exactly what she was trying to do. Ziva watched as two girls checked Tony out, she tried her best not to glare at them, but she did. Gibbs saw this and the corner of his mouth quirked a little. Tony didn't notice this at all. He only had eyes for Ziva.

After what felt like hours they stood in front of Ziva. "Gibbs, McGee.. Tony." Ziva said with a nod. All the while thinking "Don't look at his chest, don't look at his chest, don't look at his chest."

Tony leaned forward and kissed her cheek, dangerously close to her mouth. She breathed in the familiar smell of him. "Zee-Vah" he said with a wink.

Damn. She looked. She blushed a little then turned to Gibbs, trying to cool herself down.

"So did you find this John Stewart?"

"Nope," Gibbs said with a smirk. "We're calling it a night."

Tony tried to hide his excitement as Gibbs turned to him and McGee and said "Take Ziva to the hotel, and I want you to meet in the lobby tomorrow morning for 0700 sharp!" he began to leave the three agents behind, then went back and slapped Tony, "Owww, Boss what was that for?" Gibbs turned around so Tony wouldn't see him smirking "For what you were thinking as soon as my backed turned."

McGee looked over at a flustered Tony and chuckled. "Shut up McGoo." This made McGee laugh even more, "I see you're back to the "Mc" jokes." Tony glanced sideways at Ziva then glared at McGee.

"Come on Probie, let's go. Ziva's probably tired." Tony began to lead Ziva back up the path, their arms brushing occasionally, sending shivers up Ziva's spine. McGee played gooseberry, and updated Ziva on the case and subtly asked how Abby was.

Tony and Ziva glanced at each other occasionally when the other wasn't looking. As they got to the car park Tony suddenly spun around to Ziva. "Keys." He demanded with a grin that left Ziva so dumbfounded she handed the keys over.

McGee smirked and sat in the backseat. Tony opened the door for Ziva with a smile and sat in the drivers seat. They drove to the hotel in silence. Tony hummed along to the radio making Ziva smile a little and McGee played a game on his cell phone.

Finally they arrived and Tony, opened the door for Ziva, ever the gentleman. McGee went inside the hotel as soon as his phone starting ringing, playing Android Lust, the personalised ringtone Abby set herself. Ziva got her suitcase out of the car just and Tony parked the car. Tony came back to see someone from the hotel talking to Ziva and picking up her suitcase. A male. He ran over.

"I'll take it from here buddy." Tony said possessively. He followed Ziva into the hotel lobby, tilting his head and staring at her form from behind. They walked to the reception and both flashed their badges and got a key for Ziva's room in return.

They walked into the elevator and Tony pounced. His arms snaked around her and he began kissing her. "I've missed you." He murmured. "Really?" said Ziva. Tony could feel her smile in their kiss. He freed one arm and pushed it through Ziva's untamed hair. He inhaled the smell of her shampoo.

The elevator door opened to their floor and they broke apart relunctantly. Tony pulled her by the waist and carried her suitcase single handed. He unlocked the door to her room, threw her suitcase onto the floor and began kissing her in haste. She pushed him onto the bed and smiled. "Calm down Tony, I am not going anywhwere." Tony grinned at her and pulled her down with him. "Oh yes you are."

"Tony! GET UP NOW!" Ziva hissed "Gibbs is going to know you didn't stay in your own room!"

Tony stared at her, his head propped up on one elbow, she had just got out of the shower and was in only a towel, her wet her dripping onto the floor. She was beautiful. "What?!" she said. She was even more beautiful when she was angry.

"You're beautiful." He said seriously.

Ziva blushed a little, then said "That's not going to work!"

"Ziva, it's 5 in the morning, Gibbs isn't awake yet, and we don't have to meet him till 7!"

Ziva huffed. "Fine. Turn around."

"Why?" Tony asked confused.

"Because I'd like some privacy to get dressed!"

Tony chuckled. "Ziva, there's nothing left between us to be private!"

She scowled as he watched her pull out underwear, a skirt and shirt out of her suitcase. She put on her underwear and glanced at Tony, he hadn't made a single suggestive comment yet. His face was serious and full of.. She didn't know what it was, she looked away. It felt oddly intimate.

She began putting on her skirt.

"Ziva.." she looked up.

"Yes Tony?" she said jumping a little.

"Wear something else."

Ziva frowned "why?"

Tony sat up in bed, "Look how hot it is! Wear something a little less formal. Gibbs won't mind. We've been walking around in shorts."

Ziva smirked. "Don't you mean you won't mind?"

Tony grinned. "Well, yeah."

He swung his legs out of bed.

"Turn around." He demanded.

Ziva rolled her eyes. Tony grinned and pulled on the robe next to him. He tied it up so she couldn't see the bottom part of him, but could clearly see his toned chest.

He began digging through her suitcase "Hey! What happened to all the interesting stuff I packed for you?"

Ziva rolled her eyes again, he was referring to the lingerie.

Tony pulled out a blue summer dress. "Wear this today." Ziva sighed took off her skirt and pulled on the dress.

Tony grinned it looked great, he sat on the edge of the bed and tried to pull Ziva by the waist to him, but Ziva pushed him away with a grin.

"Ziva.." he whined.

"Tony.." Ziva teased in the same tone. "Go and shower!"

Tony pouted, "Let me go and get my stuff."

He kissed her on the cheek and walked out the door, shutting it behind him. He walked down the corridor humming until he got to his room. "Damn" he muttered. He had forgotten the key.

Suddenly he felt a smack on the bottom of his head. "Awww boss!" what was that for?" he said spinning round and facing Gibbs, who was only in his boxers and t-shirt.

"I thought I told you to keep it out of the office?" Gibbs questioned.

"Well, boss technically. We're not in the off.." Gibbs glared at him. "Shutting up boss." Gibbs slapped him again. "And that's for keeping everyone up all night." Gibbs slapped him again. "AND that was for not being more discreet!" Tony rubbed his head.

And walked back to Ziva's room with his tail between his legs.
