Authors' Note - Hey there friendship :)

Updating yet again because I have nothing to do :) This chapter is gonna be full of Callen/A.J. This chapter will be longer than previous ones. Hope you guys like it :)

I wish I owned NCIS: Los Angeles, but sadly, it belongs to Shane Brennan and CBS.

Chapter 3

Callens' POV.

With the case wrapped up, everyone sat at their desks, finishing reports before their weekend off. Nate was due back on Monday, his desk, which he will share with his new partner, A.J, was already placed neatly inbetween the two original desks. As he looked up from his paperwork, he caught a glimpse of their newest agent. Her hair was falling over her face, and she was struggling to keep it out of the way. He smiled. He had grown to trust A.J over the course of the investigation, especially when she technically saved his life today. If it wasn't for her, he'd most likely be dead, or in hospital right now, and he hated hospitals.

His thoughts were interrupted by Deeks -of course- stating, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I need a drink," he turned to Kensi, "you in, Fern?"

"Deeks," she said, practically scolding him, " how many times have I told you to stop calling me 'Fern'?"

"Fern?" A.J questioned.

"Long story." Kensi said, standing up. "Okay, Shaggy, I'm in. Callen, Sam? What about you?"

"Nah," Sam said, shaking his head," I got to get home to Michelle, she'll kill me if I ditch her to go drinking."

"Okay," Kensi replied, "Callen?"

"I could do with a drink, or five." he laughed. In his mind, he was hoping Kensi would ask A.J to tag along.

"A.J?" said Kensi, answering his prayers.

"Hmm?" A.J said, raising her head.

"You wanna go get a drink?"

"Uhh, sure." she said, flashing that brilliant smile Callen had grown to love over these last few days.

The sound of footsteps filled the room. Everyone looked up.

"Hey, Wonder Twins?" Deeks shouted to the sound of Eric and Nell approaching. "You two coming drinking?"

"Hell yeah!" said the redheaded girl wonder.

"Yeah." said the tech wizard.

"Great!" Kensi said, "O'Rourkes' in Santa Monica, 1 hour?"

"Yep." everyone said, almost in unison.

"Can someone text me the address?" A.J asked.

"Yeah, sure!" Kensi said, pulling out her phone.

"Thanks," she said, getting up." See you all in an hour?"

"Yeah."

And with that, they all left to go home to change.

1 Hour later.

As Callen pulled up to the bar, he saw A.J walking in.

"A.J!" he shouted, as he paid the cab driver. He'd never been an impatient person, but something about this woman made him not act like himself.

"Agent Callen," she said, smiling. If you asked him, her smile was her best feature.

"A.J," he said, " it's either Callen or G. We work together everyday, there's no need for formalities"

"Okay, Callen." God, she made his name sound so damn good."Shall we go inside?"

"Yeah." he said, smiling. "Lead the way."

They found Kensi, Deeks, and the Wonder Twins sitting in a corner booth, with five beers on the table.

"Hope you like beer." Kensi said, looking up at them.

"I'm half Irish, I like anything with alcohol," she said.

They all laughed.

So, there you have it. Chapter 3. I'll continue the bar scene in the next chapter, told from A.J's point of view. Just wanted to give you a little heads up, I've written a Densi chapter, but I'm not sure when I'll post it.

Please R&R!
