I woke up with a terrible pounding in my head. I groaned and sat up in bed, hangovers suck. I scratched my head and stretched. I looked around and saw Nell who was still asleep. I started to get up, the floor was cold and when I stood up the room started spinning. The blood rushed to my head just making my headache worse. I ran to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet.

I quite literally crawled to the sink to brush my teeth and wash my face of yesterday's makeup.

But then I headed back to the adjoining bedroom. I smelled eggs and bacon and coffee, weird. Nell wasn't up yet so who was cooking, I looked over to the bedside table, it was 10:30 on a Saturday morning. I noticed a glass of water and a small plate over it with a note and aspirin.

I looked at the note it read: "Morning Sunshine. I hope you had a fun night. I came by earlier to see if you wanted to go to the beach. Didn't think you'd be dead asleep at 10 in the morning. Here's the aspirin you're gonna need. I kept Nell's there too. – Deeks"

I couldn't help but smile, he was still here making me breakfast. That's so sweet of him. I opened the door to make my way out and got hit by a delicious smell of eggs, bacon, pancakes and coffee.

"Mm, what smells so good?" I said smiling at my goofball of a partner.

He was dressed in his bathing suit and a white t shirt on that framed his strong arms. I looked him up and down. He was grinning and said "Well looks who's up. When you said girls night I didn't think you two would be so hammered you'd have to call Callen for help."

"He told you?!" I groaned inwardly. Just what I need. I'm never gonna here the end of it now. I made my way over to the cabinet to grab a coffee mug and poured as much coffee as it would allow. I was gonna need it.

"Yeah, he told me to come and check up on you two. He said you guys are gonna have splitting headaches, he said you weren't as drunk as Nell so I came to see if you wanted to go the beach. But I guess not." I went ahead and filled my plate with food while he went on and on about what he made for breakfast and what he planned on doing today.

Don't get me wrong I was listening but I was a little distracted by him actually being here. I kept saying mhm and traveled around the kitchen to get what I needed. I turned around to get the pepper shaker and bumped right into Deeks.

"You're not really listening to me are you?" his voice serious.

"What? Of course I am! I would never tune you out!" I said.

"Really? That's what you're goin with? You tune me out on a regular basis." He said tilting his head to one side studying me and crossing his arms across his chest.

"Well I was listening, I was just really looking for the pepper shaker." I said folding my arms across my chest mirroring him.

He unfolded his arms and came dangerously close to me my face only a few inches away from his. He leaned towards me, reaching over my head, sending my senses into overdrive. All of a sudden I was aware of everything, I inhaled sharply at the closeness and the warmth I felt, and got a wave of his scent instead. Ocean, cologne and him. There was no other way to describe it. It only lasted a moment, he leaned away and I instantly missed his warmth.

"The pepper shaker was right there. Besides if you were listening you would know what the last thing I said was." He challenged as he handed me the shaker

"I- I do know." I stuttered as I toyed with the shaker, clearly the side effects were evident from what just happened.

He crossed his arms again "Oh yeah? What was I saying?"

"Um, were you talking about uh, um, Monty…?"

"No."

"The beach?"

"Nope."

"Veronica?"

"Who?"

"The girl you're dating."

"I'm not dating anyone."

"Wait what?"

"You're talking about Vanessa. She's a little girl from the homeless shelter I volunteer at. She wanted to go to a ballet at least once in her life. So I volunteered to take her."

"So, you're saying you don't have a girlfriend, and that you tricked me into believing you have a girlfriend?"

"I never said she was, besides Vanessa's eight. I asked for your advice with what color tie I should wear."

"You said she's a total babe!"

"I was just messin with you, she's a little too young for me Kensi. Besides I think I like someone else."

I stopped breathing. By now we had closed the distance between us again. I looked into his inviting beautiful blue eyes and he looked into mine. He started to lean in, was this really happening? I guess breakfast is gonna have to wait.

At that moment, someone behind Deeks coughed and spoke in hoarse voice. "Uh, don't mind me, I'm just here to get some much needed coffee and go back to bed." I peered over Deeks to see a very–and I'm saying this in the nicest way possible- disgusting and totally not like Nell, Nell.

"Morning Nell Bell" Deeks said getting away from me

I pouted a little and looked to where Nell was standing. "Yeah whatever. Wake me up in time for lunch." And with that Nell headed back in my room. I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but think of what might've happened if Nell hadn't walked in on us.

I was interrupted by my cell ringing, I grabbed my coffee mug and went to my phone. I felt Deeks' eyes on me as I picked it up.

"Hello?" I said

"Uh hey it's Ross. Are you free to get some lunch today?"

"Oh hey! Um…" I turned around to look at what Deeks was doing, his eyes were boring into me watching my every move, protectively staring so to speak.

"Yeah, I don't see why not."

"Great! I'll see you at Roy's around 12, you know where that is right?"

"Yeah I do, see you then." I said goodbye and ended the call. I planned on telling him I wasn't interested in him anymore, yesterday at the club it hit me that I needed someone who would appreciate me for me. Sure Ross was a total sweetheart, but he wasn't Deeks. No one could be, he was unique, and he was all mine.

I turned around to face Deeks. He looked at me "Who was it?"

"Ross"

"You're still dating him?"

"Nope, never was."

"What do you mean?"

"At first I made him up, but as of yesterday it turns out there is a Ross exactly the way I described to you."

"Why did you make him up?"

"I don't know."

"So why did he call?" his voice hard with an edge to it.

"He wanted to know if we could do lunch."

"And you said yes?" he said incredulously

"Yeah, I wanna tell him I'm no longer interested in him."

"Really?" he said. "What made you change your mind?"

We had progressively gotten closer as we were talking, till there was no space between us, our bodies were flush against one another. His hands brushed against my hips causing me to repress a shiver that was coursing through me. I stared into his loving eyes. It's a miracle how fast I get lost into them.

"A certain blue eyed blonde haired guy, who I consider not just my partner but my best friend."

"So he's friend-zoned."

I rolled my eyes and shoved him a little.

"Anything but." I grinned. It's strange how Deeks managed to do this to me. I was guarded, yet he managed to get around that. I was terrible with relationships, yet he managed to get me to fall in love with him. He makes me so happy. Happier than I've been in a long time, even when he can be irritating and obnoxious, it just makes me love him more.

He leaned in and we finished what we had left incomplete. His face slowly inched towards mine, not once did we break eye contact. His lips brushed mine and I felt sparks, not even Jack could do that. We teased each other his stubble grazing my skin, I kept my hand on his handsome face. Our lips met and I forgot everything, my hands automatically went to his hair and I tangled my hand in a fist full of hair.

It's like I melted into him and became a big puddle of Kensi, his hands went to my hips and pulled me closer. His hands crept up under the shirt to my waist, and I arched into him. His cold hands sent shivers up and down my spine. I couldn't help but let out a little moan as his warm lips left mine and he continued to kiss my jaw, and neck.

I used whatever amount of self-control I could muster and pushed him away. "I have to go get ready."

"What? Forget him, stay here with me please?"

"I wish I could, but I owe him an explanation." I quickly pecked his lips and told him I'll come over to his apartment after lunch.

He grumbled something about patience. I couldn't help but smile, really smile. I opened the door to my bedroom and saw Nell watching T.V at an unbelievably low volume. "Whisper, or I'll hurt you."

I laughed at her, and received a death glare from her. Guess that was too loud too.

"You're welcome to stay here as long as you want. I'll be out for lunch, and Deeks will be leaving. There's still food in the kitchen." I whispered.

I headed to the closet; alright, time to get this over with.

OMG almost done! Couple more chapters! Ross and Vanessa were meant to get these two together. Some of you guys got all worked up about it, but I understand I was like that about Deeks and that Eva girl from season 3.

Rate, comment, follow, whatever you do! Oh I really love reviews, positive or not. So those too please! xoxo
