A/N
I own none of the characters! Wait, i'm claiming the hotel staff, they're mine, CBS better not steal them. Anyway, later.
"I'm so sorry sir, but it would seem that there are no reservations for a Mr. Johnson in the system." The front desk clerk looked up from his computer to Deeks.
"No, see, that's not possible, a friend of mine made the reservation a few days ago." Deeks replied angrily.
"Sir, there may have been a mistake, but we have no rooms open, we stopped taking reservations last week."
"Then how come my friend told me that she booked rooms for me four days ago?"
"I'm not sure, but we have not made any reservations for this week since the Friday before the last."
"I want to speak to a manager."
"What's going on?" Kensi walked up with their suitcases
"They don't have any rooms, even though we reserved one, four days ago." Deeks replied to Kensi, she chuckled. "What, you think this is funny?"
"Yeah actually I do."
"This isn't a funny situation, Kens, we have no place to sleep."
"No, its funny, because of why we're in this situation." Deeks had a confused look on his face. "It seems your lady friend bailed on you." She clarified. "Maybe you shouldn't call in favors with one-night-stands."
"Mr. Johnson," Deeks looked over to see another uniformed man behind the desk. "Hi, I'm James, the manager of this hotel, can I help you with anything?"
"Yeah, um, we thought we had a reservation here, but there are no rooms."
"Ah, I'm very sorry sir, I'll check to see if we have any rooms that will be available soon."
"Thanks."
"Yes, it looks like a couple just left a room, I'll have it cleaned for you right away."
"Thank you" Kensi smiled at James. Deeks shot a jealous look.
"You, ma'am, are very welcome." He smiled back. "Here are your key-cards, your room will be ready in an hour." He replied, with a disgusted look and a scoff from Deeks.
"You want to go get dinner?" Kensi asked Deeks.
"Sure."
"So, where to first?" Eric asked Nell as they walked out of the hotel.
"Hmmm... I don't know. Snorkeling?" She asked in reply.
"No."
"Swimming with dolphins?"
"No."
"Helicopter tour?"
"Definitely. Except-"
"What?"
"Do helicopters have wifi?"
"Really Eric?"
"What?"
"You can't let go of your phone for two hours?"
"I can't tweet from13,000 feet without wifi."
"Really Eric?!"
"Fine. I'll leave my phone here."
"Thank you."
They walked down to wait for a bus to take them to the helicopter.
"Looks like you're sleeping on the floor."
"Huh uh. No way. We can sleep on one bed."
"Deeks" Kensi raised her voice. The one room they had at the hotel was tiny. One bed, no couch, and a small bathroom.
"What? It's not like we're gonna-"
"Deeks!" This time, she yelled.
"Fine, I'll sleep on the floor. But only for you, princess." Kensi glared at him.
"Here." She handed him a pillow and blanket.
"Thanks fern." She glared again before laying down on the queen sized bed. Deeks spread out the blanket and threw the pillow on the floor then laid down.
"I think this floor is concrete."
"Shut up Deeks, I'm trying to sleep."
"My back is going to hurt all day tomorrow."
"Shh!"
"Geez, Kens, you make me sleep on the floor and then yell at my pain?"
"If I let you sleep on the bed will you shut up?"
"Maybe."
"Fine." Kensi made space for Deeks.
"Thank you."
"Shh.." He laid down next to Kensi on the bed. She turned around and put a pillow between them.
Deeks could feel the warmth of Kensi's breath on his neck. It sent chills down his spine. They had pretended to be a couple in undercover ops before but he and his partner had never been so close, they were almost touching. He didn't know how to describe the feeling he had not just now, but whenever he's around Kensi. All he knew was he didn't want to go too far with it. Or did he? 'No.' he thought, 'that could get us in to trouble.' It wasn't that he wasn't crazy about Kensi, he was. But he knew that the moment they cross that line of being just partners, there was no going back. And in their job, that could get people hurt. Whatever this feeling was, he had to be happy with it, no more, no less.
