Ziva was totally laying into Tony! The whole "You had your chance" line? Wonderful! Then Borin knowing about the bet was priceless! Anyway, I don't own the song lyrics. They are owned by The Beatles.

I Want You So Bad It's Driving Me Mad

McGee and Borin had left half an hour ago leaving the other two agents alone in the bar. As he sits alone at the booth, Tony replays Ziva saying, "You had your chance," he watches her flirt with the bartender. For some reason, he cannot turn his head away from the scene in front of him. In so many ways he is jealous. Somehow, any man can have Ziva except him.

He watches as his partner comes back with another drink and takes a sip of the beverage. Her curly hair fell a little in front of her face as she puts the glass back on the table and he smiles as memories of their years together as partners come flooding into his mind. Then Ziva's words come back and he wonders where all his chances had gone.

"Tony?" Ziva says bringing the man back to reality.

"Yeah?" He says pretending he has not been thinking about her.

"You have been staring at me all night. Are you okay?" She questions. He nods grinning.

"Just fine Zi." He answers knowing she knows he is lying. He sighs saying, "You said I had my chance. When was that?" Ziva takes another drink before continuing.

"Whenever I did not have a boyfriend? When Ray would not contact me for weeks? There were many Tony." With her words, each agent was silent. Knowing it was now or never, Tony asks, "How can I make it up to you?"

"Make what up Tony?" Ziva questions as she tries to figure out where the conversation is heading.

"The fact that we didn't invite you anywhere the other day." Tony answers. Ziva smiles as she wonders why it took him so long to ask for forgiveness.

"I am fine now Tony. I just let my feelings get in the way."

"Your feelings huh?" Tony jokes wondering how he was able to let her insert her foot in her mouth twice in a night.

"Not those types of feelings, Tony. I mean, there were feelings, but not—" She stops and waits for the chuckle that will inevitably come. But, instead of chuckling, Tony smiles.

"I understand." He says wondering if he can ask another question. When neither speaks again, Tony says, "Why did you want me to see if I could get a date with Borin?" Smirking, his partner says, "To get back at you. Besides, I told her what I was doing." Her partner nods and she is thankful she does not have to explain that she was also jealous. Tony had been leaving her out recently and she did not like the feeling.

"I'm just happy you didn't prank me like you did a couple years ago. It took me forever to get the black rings off my eyes." The man jokes. Ziva laughs as she puts her head against the seat of the booth. Again, Tony stares at her realizing again just how pretty she looks. Before he can say anything, his partner looks at him curiously and says, "It is getting late Tony. I think I should leave."

Ziva digs in her purse for some cash as Tony says, "I'll get it." Taken aback, Ziva narrows her eyes slightly then smiles at the offer.

"Thank- you, Tony." She states as she places a hand on his arm. "Good night."

"Night." He replies. Before she is out of hearing range, the agent calls her name. She turns and smiles at the next words he says.

"Movie night next Friday?" He asks. She nods then turns around to exit the bar ecstatic that she is now accepted again.
