What happens in Vegas

Chapter 3

Kensi pov

As I pushed open the door I noticed Deeks standing very close to me. "Ever heard of personal space?"

"We're partners, we shouldn't have personal space issues." He stated as our conversation was interrupted by Callen walking past.

"Cal, where are you going?" I asked seeing him in some jogging bottoms and a baggy shirt carrying a rather heavy looking bag.

"Gym… care too join me?" He stopped walking and placing one hand on his hip and the other on his gym bag.

"Yeah I'll be there in 5." I started walking over to my desk to put my bag down when Deeks caught a hold of my arm and stopped me. "Deeks, what are you-"

"Do you think Sam will hurt me?" I saw him staring round the corner at Sam. He looked like a little boy who had lost his parents.

"Deeks, you're a grown man. Grow some balls and come on." I turn back around and continue walking over to my desk. "Hey Sam, we're all going to the gym… you coming?"

"Yeah, ok." Sam stopped talking and smirked as he saw Deeks walking around the corner. "Hey Deeks, get ready for an intense sparring session"

"Spa-ing… together… sounds interesting" He laughed and I got his humour instantly.

"He means fighting genius." I dropped my bag and leaned back on my desk staring at Deeks.

"Yeah, I knew that." He smiled and shrugged as he started walking over to his locker "Coming partner?"

"Urr yeah." I paused and turned to Sam who was staring at me. "Go easy on him." He replied with a simple nod, which felt insincere. Following Deeks to the lockers we geared up and headed to the gym.

Deeks pov

Kensi and I walked through the doors leading to the gym to find a very sweaty Callen on one of the machines. "Callen!"

"Deeks… Kens" He nodded as he said each name, his breath heavy and his speech fast. He was obviously tired.

"How about a little bit of sparring then?" I felt quite pleased with saying the word I just learned.

"Sparring. I've never thought you would be into that, but ok." He said as he started walking over to the mat. "You and Kens go first. I'll play the winner."

"Ok, bring it beach boy." Her words were soft but dripping with sarcasm.

"Don't worry sweetheart I'll go easy on you." Taking our positions on the mat we began our training. She made the first move when she grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back before I managed to wriggle out of her grip. I grabbed her shoulders and hooked my leg around hers and instantly got her on the ground. I was lying on top of her and everything seemed to slow down. Time had stopped. I was just lost in her eyes, forgetting where I was. Our moment stopped as she flipped me over and she was now pinning me down.

"Owww! Ok you can get off now you win!" I squirmed in pain trying to escape her grasp but it was no use.

"You are such a wimp." She got off me and helped me up.

When I finally got my breath back I turned to her and smiled. "Maybe I shouldn't have gone easy on you." She smiled back at me then went to punch me. Surprisingly when her fist connected with my shoulder it actually hurt. "Ok, ow." I let out a short breath and turned back to Callen. I then noticed Sam by his side; sporting a huge grin

"You got beat by a girl." Sam mockingly sang avoiding eye contact.

"I wouldn't class Kensi as a girl. She's more like wonder women or cat woman or something."

"You would like me in a cat suit wouldn't you Deeks?" she flirtatiously smiled and batted her eyelashes making me smile at the image currently in my head.

Oh yes I would

I turned to Kensi who was now staring at the ground smiling. Coughing awkwardly I proceeded with "Ok, Callen, she's all yours."

As they were about to get on the mat Eric came through the door blowing a trumpet. "Gather children, come and gather round Ops."

"I'm not letting Kens off that easy... We'll pick this back up later" Callen said as he walked off with Sam in front of us.

"I know you're now picturing me in a cat suit" Kensi quietly said as we started walking out of the gym.

"Of course not." I smiled at the fact we both knew she was right "All I can say is you would make a very attractive cat woman"

"Marty Deeks was that a compliment?" I couldn't help but notice that she was blushing at what I said.

"I think it was. You know would be nice if you gave me a compliment sometimes." My facial expression looked hurt and upset which only made her laugh again

"Ok then urm, your fighting… isn't… bad?" She raised her shoulders and smirked.

"Oh, such an amazing compliment… really helps my self-esteem." We walked out the doors and started climbing up the stair to Ops.

When we finally walked through the doors there was a picture of Hal up on the big screen.

"Ok so you all know that this is Hal Valenco. He was spotted this morning leaving this house-" Nell started to explain.

"Who owns the house Nell?" Callen interrupted.

"It's Melanie Portsman's house. 28 blonde, typical Barbie-" Nell frowned as she started to explain what Melanie looked like.

"Wait, Nell, bring up a picture of her please." I said. There was no way it could be the person I was thinking of.

"One sec…" She started tapping at her tablet and up popped the picture.

"You have got to be kidding me…" My thoughts came out my mouth like word vomit as I rubbed both hands through my hair. Kensi stared at me with confusion until it was like a light bulb went off in her cute little head.

"Let me guess, one of your many psycho ex girlfriends?" Kensi's confused look very quickly turned into a smile as I bowed my head in disbelief after a subtle nod.

"Miss Jones, Mr Beale, please continue." Hetty said staring back at the pair.

"Well, we followed Hal's car through traffic cams and right now he is at Monica Pier." Eric showed traffic cams of Hals car but all I could think about was what the hell is Melanie doing with him.

"Ok, Mr Callen and Mr Hanna will go and get Mr Valenco. Miss Blye and Mr Deeks I want you to go and find out more on Miss Portsman." We all just stood there causing her to waft her hands in the air "Go" she said walking out of the room.

"Perfect." I muttered under my breath as Kensi started dragging me out of Ops.

As we started hopping down the stairs Kensi couldn't help but ask me the question she always asks when a crazy ex comes up. "C'mon, out with it… what's wrong with this one?"
