Chapter 5

Jenny woke the next morning, feeling like a marching band was play souly in her head never had she felt this hung over since she was in college.

She opened her eyes slowly, cringing at the bright light from outside the bedroom window, looked around she wondered where on earth she was, she didn't recognise the room, she would have thought she was at home, instead she was in a foreign what seemed like hotel room, the covers white silk, large double doors leading to a balcony, another door lead to a bathroom, there were another two wooden double doors painted the same white as the door, where and why was she here.

Then it came back to her, today wasn't the day of her wedding to a man she'd been in love with since college, no that day had been yesterday, she'd taken the honeymoon to Paris and Gibbs had come with her.

Gibbs, she sighed laying back into the bed, images of their drunken make out session clouding her mind, she almost wished she hadn't stopped him from taking it further, shaking her head she realised no she was right, she couldn't let him be just like his wife, he deserved better than that, they both did.

Taking a deep breath, the smell of coffee filled her nostrils, her senses all began to wake up at once, she slipped out of the bed and grabbed her robe that was draped across the chair at the vanity table and then walked out through the double doors.

What Jenny saw when she walked into the small living area made her stop in her tracks, Gibbs had set the small coffee table up so it was a table for breakfast for two, glasses of orange juice, a selection of French pastries, fruit, she looked up just as Gibbs walked over with two cups of coffee.

"Morning" he said giving her a small smile, he'd woken up early and then decided to go out and get breakfast for them both, he also in a dire need of coffee.

"Morning, you've been busy" she told him with a small smile before she sat down on the floor on one side of the coffee table and Gibbs did the same.

"It's just breakfast" Gibbs said taking a cup of coffee and taking a sip, watching her the whole time, it was like almost overnight he'd forgotten how pretty she was, her pale skin, the freckles across the bridge of her nose, her messy crimson red locks, her bright green eyes, still clouded with sleep.

"What?" she asked him after a moment, noticing that he was looking at her in a way no man had ever looked at her before, a way that made her knees go weak.

"Nothing" Gibbs said with a shake of his head, the intenseness of his gaze not changing, making her a little self-conscious, she brushed her red hair behind her ear and gave him a nervous smile.

"So what do you want to do today?" Jenny asked him after a moment.

Gibbs thought for a moment "They were setting up a market when I went out earlier" he suggested, still surprised that she would want to spend the week with him, especially after last night.

"That could be fun" Jenny nodded with a smile "As long as we don't drink nearly as much bourbon as we did last night" she said with a laugh.

"Yeah" Gibbs almost laughed shaking his head, pretending he hadn't been thinking about her and the feeling of her skin, her lips, her silky hair since.

….

Hours later, both now changed into comfortable clothes, Jenny wearing tight fighting black jeans and a red turtle neck, high heel black boots and a black pea coat, Gibbs wearing a pair of worn out blue jeans, old NCIS t-shirt and his grey coat, both fighting the December cold.

"You know these are men's belts" Gibbs told Jenny as he looked over her shoulder at the stall she was looking at that sold different types of men's belt, the redhead currently eyeing a brown leather belt with a gold buckle.

Jenny shrugged her shoulders as she gave over the euro's and bought the belt "I like men's belts" she told him before turning around and going to find another stall.

Gibbs smiled to himself before following her, he was beginning to realise that he beginning to like Jenny for more than her looks, he liked her personality, she was fun, she challenged him, she was cheeky, she knew how to make him laugh, it was like she understood him more than he thought she did.

"You coming" the redhead called over her shoulder feeling Gibbs was no longer behind him, and like a lost puppy he followed her to where she stood at a tall nearby, "I thought we could have French feast for dinner" she suggested to the different, cheeses, breads and wines in front of them.

"Sounds great" Gibbs smiled at her, soon they walked away with a bag full of goodies in Gibbs' arm, they began to walk down the streets, as if out of habit, Jenny grabbed Gibbs' hand, he looked at her for a moment but she just gave him a smile.

She felt at these times in their lives, they didn't need to be alone, they needed to think that someone did care that they were so upset. Gibbs thought that if a beautiful redhead was offering to be there for him and let him be there for her, who was he to say no?

….

Hours later, the couple sat once again sat crossed legged around the coffee table, the hotel room dimly lit, the fire in the fireplace cracking while covering every corner of the room in an orange hue.

"This is nice" Jenny sighed as she took a sip of her glass of red wine.

"Yeah" Gibbs nodded with a small smile watching as Jenny pulled a cushion from the sofa and lay down on the floor, resting her head on the cushion, her red hair splaying down behind her on the cushion.

"Diane's a stupid women" Jenny began, stifling a yawn.

"Really?" Gibbs asked her with a slight chuckle as he leant back on his elbows.

"Yeah" Jenny rolled over to face him "She was stupid to let a guy like you slip through her fingers" she continued "You're like the perfect guy, sweet, charming, good looking…." She trailed off.

Gibbs smiled, she was probably saying this just because she'd had a little too much wine, even though earlier she'd said no more alcohol. "Obviously not good enough" Gibbs said as he turned to look at the redhead, only to find that she had fallen asleep.

Ignoring how his knee's screamed in agony, he got up from his place on the floor and approached the redhead, carefully lifting her into his arms, Jenny instinctively snuggled into his warm, muscular chest, he kicked open the double door leading from the living room to the bedroom and carefully put her down on the bed.

"Andrew was a stupid guy too" Gibbs mumbled as he brushed Jenny's hair out of her face and pressed a light kiss to her forehead before walking out of the room, leaving the beauty to sleep.
