Chapter 2

Deeks POV

I hate guys who think they stand a chance with a girl like Kensi. The day went rather fast. Sam and Callen arrived; we came up with a plan of security and told everyone where they had to be and what their jobs were.

We were all making our way back to where Hetty was waiting with a few surprise treats for all of us.

"Now Kensi..." I started as we walked inside "I know you said no drinks, no parties, no celebrations... but this is cake and consider it more a few friends hanging out instead of a party and we're not celebrating, we're chilling"

"You guys are unbelievable" She threw her arm around my shoulder and slovenly walked over to the rest of the group with me "I can't believe I'm turning 25..." she said shoving a slice of cake into her mouth.

"25? Oh please, pretty soon you'll be playing Bingo with Hetty" I blurted the insult not considering the fact that Hetty was stood right next to me.

"I'll have you know Deeks I have never played Bingo in my life... Chess is my game" she sipped her cup of tea and seated herself at her desk. She scares me. She may be old and tiny but she is one scary woman. The door opened and in walked and in walked Nate.

"Happy birthday Kensi" he gave her a tight squeeze and handed her a little present.

"A gel bracelet? That brings my grand total up to 80. Thanks Nate" they hugged once more then Nate helped himself to cake.

We talked, hung out and finished the cake before going home at midnight.

"You sure you don't want some company on your birthday?" I shouted across to where Kensi was getting in her car.

"I'm sure Deeks, I'm just going to go to bed" she yawned loudly and over the top which made it obvious she wasn't even tired.

"Alone?" She's right, I am one for pushing my luck.

"Yes, alone, unless..." I looked over the roofs of all the cars to see Kensi looking around the car park "Nate wishes to join me?" she was teasing me, trying to wind me up. Well it was working. She had no intention of going home with Nate

"Hm, what? I urm... I have to get home... I need to feed my... er fish" he awkwardly climbed into his car and sped off causing Kensi to laugh.

"Goodnight Deeks" before I knew it she was also off into the night.

"Sweet dreams Kens" another failed attempt from Marty Deeks. How much harder do I have to try?

Kensi's POV

The sun was rising and I peeled myself out of bed. 6:00 am. Throwing on my running gear I set off on my 5 mile run that I do every morning. Except this morning was different. Deeks was waiting outside my front door with his running gear on.

"Hey partner, I thought I'd run with you" I greeted him nicely with a smile and we ran together. It was quite sweet really. It reminded me of once when we were undercover together. Deeks wasn't too bad actually, he kept up and wasn't completely dying when we got back.

"Do you mind if I quickly have a shower at yours then drive into work with you?" he asked nicely probably assuming that I would say no.

"Yeah that's fine but if you try to go through any of my draws I will not hesitate to chop both your hands off" I smiled sweetly and proceeded into the house holding the door open for my partner.

With the time now being 8 am we were due in work in 15 minutes. Deeks left his car at my house and I gave him a lift in. We arrived in the car park at the exact same time Sam did.

"Coming to work together? Did he make sure you saw out your birthday... perfectly?" Sam said sarcastically with a wink.

"If you must know Sam we went for a run this morning; some of us actually like to maintain our fitness" Deeks took the lead taking none of Sam's bullshit

"Navy Seals don't need to work for it... we just have it" Sam threw his bag over his shoulder and rocked past Deeks

"Only problem is you're not a seal anymore" I don't think either of them were joking. Normally they throw around a few insults, laugh a bit and move on. This was a serious problem between these two.

"And you're still just a little boy who snuck into NCIS from LAPD... know your place" Deeks sensed Sam's anger and backed off keeping his mouth shut. Sam turned around and walked inside ending their argument for today.

I laughed at the 'oops' look that he gave me.

"Come on little boy, let's try get through the day without shooting someone"
