This cannot be happening. I was frozen in my spot, I'd stopped moving completely. What are the odds of me actually running into a Ross with the same description I had given to Deeks? Deeks! I was here to forget about him, so why do I feel guilty all of a sudden?
"Hey is everything ok?" by now Ross had noticed me not dancing and looked at me in worry and confusion. His hands had left my hips. I kind of missed having them there. What am I thinking? Must be the shots.
"Yeah, no it's nothing. You remind me of someone I know. That's all." I somehow managed to get it out of my system.
"You sure?" He said, scrunching his eyebrows in worry. He looked cute like that.
"Yeah, positive." And with that I put my hands behind his neck and leaned in. He smelled like cologne and spicy cinnamon, I could get used to this.
His hands slid back to my waist and we danced for a couple songs, we headed to the bar and got beers. The entire time I was laughing and surprisingly good time. I sipped my beer and decided to look for Nell, I turned around and searched the club. I spotted her by some guy trying to offer her a drink.
I turned to Ross "Hey I'll be back, I gotta go get my friend." I grabbed my clutch and headed over to Nell.
"No, I really don't want a drink, thanks" I heard Nell say, the guys who was obviously drunk just wasn't getting the message, he held Nell's arm trying to get her to stay. I was tipsy, but not drunk enough to let something happen to either me or Nell. I slammed my clutch down on the bar top.
"Hey! Don't you get it? She's not interested!" I said pulling Nell away. I was standing at least a foot maybe two away from him and I could literally inhale the fumes of alcohol that were rolling out of his mouth.
"Hey you're lookin' nice, wanna get outta here?" he slurred. That son of a bitch.
"No, now leave before things get out of control." I was in agent mode. Even with alcohol in my system, every fiber in me was on high alert with this sleezeball. By then a small crowd had gathered around us, I spotted Ross in the crowd trying to get through, no doubt wanting to help.
Then the creep stood up and was in my face in a fury "You can't get rid of me that easily sweet cheeks" he grabbed my arm and pulled me against him "Besides, you're hotter than the pixie"
That's it. No one insults Nell and certainly try to take advantage of us. I gave the guy one last warning "Let. Go. Now." My eyes narrowed and I clenched my jaw.
"Try me princess." He said.
No one calls me Princess. No one, except for Deeks.
In one fluent movement, I took his arm and twisted it behind him and pushed him to the ground. I straddled his back and looked back at Nell "You ok?"
"Yeah, just shaken up. I'll be good in a few." she said. I nodded and turned back to look at the creep beneath me. The crowd around us was whooping and cheering me on. I didn't pay them any attention.
"Nell can you get the handcuffs out of my bag?"
The man's eyes got wide. "Who are you? Look I didn't mean no harm, I was just havin' a little fun."
I rolled my eyes. "Right. Now get up." I pulled him up to his feet and slapped on one of the cuffs, while attaching the other ones to the bar pole.
"Make sure he doesn't get out. Not that he will, call LAPD and get him outta here." I told the bartender. Who looked at me in awe and told me there was no need to pay the bill. Hm, I could live with that.
I gestured to Nell to follow me. I tried to look for Ross, but I'd lost him in the crowd. Nell and I walked over to the entrance when I heard my name from behind, I turned around and saw Ross trying to reach us. I stopped and waited for him. I smiled when he came closer.
"Hey I tried to find you but I lost you in the crowd, and we should probably get going too." I said, pointing to a drooping and very drunk Nell. Strange I was supposed to be the one to get hammered.
"Yeah I get it. That's cool, uh do you think I can have your number? I was thinking we could, you know, hang out?" he had one hand in his pocket and the other on the back of his neck. He looked so cute nervous. I giggled and nodded my head. He smiled like a kid on Christmas morning and pulled out his IPhone, opening up the contacts and handed it to me.
I typed in my number and name and gave it back. He took it and put it in his back pocket. He came closer and bent down a little whispering in my ear. "By the way, the thing you did back there was hot, makes me wonder what other things you can do." I shivered at his closeness and his words.
I smiled a sultry smile as he backed away and winked "Guess you'll have to find out huh?"
I waved bye and grabbed Nell again. The only problem was we were obviously too drunk to drive all the way home, and for some reason we'd decided to drive here. Why on earth would we do that I don't know. I contemplated on what to do. I debated asking Ross for help, but I figured he would be too drunk as well. There was no way I was gonna call Deeks for help with Nell and I like this, I'd never here the end of it. I decided on calling Callen for help. He lives around here I think.
I pulled my phone out and dialed his number. "Hello?"
"Hey Callen, could you us a favor?" I asked
"Sure Kens what's up?"
"Nell and I had a girl's night and we're both too drunk to drive, but for some reason we drove here to begin with. Can you get a cab here and then drive us home?"
"Nell's with you?" he chuckled and went on "Sure, but in order for me to help you I'm gonna need to know where 'here' is."
"Oh, oh yeah. Uhh, Boulevard 3." I said looking around to find the sign.
"Alright I'll be there in 10."
For the next 10 minutes, Nell and I sat on a bench outside, Nell had already puked twice in the bushes and had passed out. Typical.
True to his word, I saw Callen get out of the yellow cab, he paid the driver then looked around. I shouted his name and waved at him. He spotted me and climbed the steps and made his way to us.
"Ready to go?" he asked, then his eyes laid on passed out Nell. He laughed. I told him about her throwing up and passing out.
He grinned and picked Nell up bridal style. Too cute. I bet Deeks' arms would've flexed like Callen's too. He does have wonderful upper body muscles, Deeks that is. I will never say that to him though. No bad Kensi, no thinking of Deeks.
I sighed and stumbled down the steps with Callen in front of me. We reached my car, I opened the back door and Callen laid Nell down on the back seat. I opened the passenger seat and fell in by accident. I giggled a little and sat in correctly. Callen simply smirked and snickered his way reversing of the parking lot. I looked out the window and knelt my head on the glass. I closed my eyes and let Callen drive. I must've been extremely drunk, because I smelled Deeks' scent. The ocean, cologne and him. He sits in the passenger seat so much, his smell lingers on the seat.
I really thought of him for the first time that day. I may actually have a chance with Ross if I don't do my whole first date only policy with him. Deeks was with Vanessa, or was it Veronica. Doesn't matter. He deserved to be happy with someone who wasn't broken and so guarded. In fact I was happy for him. Besides I should give Ross a chance. It may actually work between us. I was most definitely attracted to him, he's so sweet, flirty, caring, definitely not a sleezeball with only one thing on his mind. He's different. I need that.
"We're here Kens." Callen said pulling into the curb.
"Great, you're probably gonna have to help me with Nell though. She's staying at my place." I opened the car door and stumbled out and somehow managed to stand on my feet, with my heels and clutch in my hand. All of the energy had been sucked out of me tonight.
Callen had gotten Nell out. And was waiting for me to open the door which I did after a little hesitation. I threw my clutch on the ground and then dumped my heels next to them. I instructed Callen to put Nell in my bed, I was gonna change out of my dress. I grabbed the closest pair of shorts and whatever shirt was on the floor and went in the bathroom. I changed and realized I had on Deeks' shirt. Lovely. He keeps haunting me no matter what I do.
I stepped out of the bathroom and noticed Callen kiss the top of Nell's head as he tucked her in. "Aw, when are you two gonna be official?"
Callen glared at me "I don't know Kensi, when are you and Deeks gonna be official?"
It was my turn to glare at him. "We don't have a thing."
"Yet you're wearing his t-shirt." He said pointing out the black shirt.
"He…I, it was just here ok?"
"Kensi, you're just lying to yourself. We all know you guys have some sort of feelings for one another."
"I am not. And I could say the same about you and Nell!"
"Whatever Kens. Goodnight!" and with that Callen walked out promising to lock the doors and make sure Hetty knew we would be late tomorrow. Not that I cared. I was gonna take a day off anyway.
I got in bed and pulled the covers around me. For the first time that night I truly didn't think about Deeks, maybe it was because I had his shirt on. Whatever the case was, I conked out the minute I shut my eyes and my head hit the pillow.
AHHHHHH I finally uploaded! Lol, I had school and my school is really rigorous and I have all these ideas but no time! Fortunately I'm on spring break now which means I can upload. I hope this is a good chapter cause I liked writing it (or typing it) I think you can tell I like Nallen too.
Comment, Rate, Follow, whatever it is that you do! xoxo
