Chapter 3

It was the morning after tony and ziva had spent the night together, 6:30am

"Tony" ziva whispered in his ear. Tony jumped up and saw the clock. "Morning" ziva said with the biggest grin you could imagine. "Morning" tony replied giving her a peck. "We need to get to work" tony said kissing her. They got ready and waked to the bar and picked up their cars and turned up for work. They were in the elevator. Tony turned it off. "Tony, we were meant to be at work an hour ago" ziva said confused by his actions. "We need to talk about last night" tony said with a serious tone. "Do we?"Ziva asked not quite sure what tony wanted to hear." It was the second time in a row" tony said. He was about to continue his sentence when ziva kissed him. "Is that an answer?" ziva said as she continued to kiss him and switched the elevator back on. The elevator soon reached the squad room. They stepped out and walked to their desks "sorry I'm late boss" they both said at the same time. "We got a house disturbance call out on a marine base" Gibbs said "tony go and see if there is a case, take ziva "Gibbs said and tony's face lit up.

3 hours later in the car driving back to NCIS headquarters. "Any plans tonight?" ziva asked. "Yeah, I'm cooking for this ninja girl I like" tony said with a smile on his face. "You cook?" she asked. "No but I order a great Chinese" tony said and ziva laughed. "So what is this girl like then?"Ziva asked with a smile on her face. "Absolutely amazing, clever, stunning she is everything" tony Said looking at ziva." you like her then" ziva said. "More then I have ever liked anyone" tony said. "More than Jeanne?" ziva asked trying to dig beneath tony's exterior and find out how he feels. "Jeanne, Jeanne was complicated she was a mission I had to love her, I told myself I did but now I am not sure." Tony said." That wasn't my question" ziva replied. Tony pulled into the car park underneath NCIS headquarters. "I know" he said getting out the car and into the elevator with ziva. Neither said a word. They arrived at the squad room. "Anything?" Gibbs asked. "A marine found out his wife was sleeping with his boss. Screaming matches nothing more" tony answered. "It took you six hours to figure that out?"Gibbs asked

"Got lost on the way there" tony replied before being slapped round the head. "Oww won't happen again boss" he said. "What have you and mcgeek been doing?" tony asked. "ziva`s paperwork" Gibbs said looking at ziva. "Sorry Gibbs" she said realizing she had completely forgotten about the two huge stacks of paperwork on her desk. Tony and ziva spent the rest of the day doing paperwork while McGee was down in Abby`s lab helping her with the case of the two murder victims while Gibbs tried to work out their connection.

6pm

"Ok I'm done for the day, see you tomorrow" Gibbs said as he walked out the squad room heading for the elevator.

"Are we on for tonight?"Ziva asked after the elevator had shut. "My place at 8" he said before walking out the squad room and towards the elevator.

8pm tony`s apartment

Knock knock. Tony answered the door. "Hi" tony said while taking her jacket. "Hi" ziva said. They sat down and tony poured the wine. "You are full of surprises" ziva said "is that a good?" tony asked not quite sure what to make of it. "Yes it is very good" she said almost laughing. Tony served up a pot of Chinese noodles. Ziva laughed. "You know I told you about this ninja girl I like but you never told me about your date" tony said and ziva giggled. "Well he is very sexy and full of surprises" she said trying to keep a straight face. "You like him then?"Tony asked. "Yes I like him" ziva said with a smile on her face as she ate her pot of noodles. "More than Michael?" tony asked hoping he hadn't pushed the boundaries. "Michael was complicated, my father sent him it wasn't real" she said. "wasn't my question" he said." I know" she said with a smile on her face. The evening went well it was 11pm they were in the living room watching one of tony`s favourite movies that he had finally convinced ziva to watch. "Tony we need to talk" ziva said. "Now?" he asked hoping she would say no. "Yes tony now" she said turning the TV off. "What are we going to do about work?" she asked hoping he would have a brainwave. "we have no choice we have to keep it quiet" he said noticing the sadness in ziva`s eyes. "If Gibbs or Vance found out we would be fired." Tony said holding her hand. "I know I I just thought maybe this time we we could be free." She said in disappointment. Tony used his finger to lift her face up. "We still can" he said before leaning over to kiss her. "I don't like lying" ziva said continuing to kiss him. "I don't but we don't have a choice." Tony said standing up and taking ziva into his bedroom.

8am...

"Zee? Wake up we are late again" tony said realising the time "its 8 zee" as he said her head shot up. Tony started giggling "come on we have to go Gibbs is going to kill us" he said as he got out of bed. Tony got dressed and went to work while ziva got dressed into yesterday`s clothes and went home to change then went on to work. Tony arrived at 9am. "Good night tony?" McGee asked realizing he had a giant grin on his face. "Best night I have had in a long time what about mcgeek?" tony said. "Not bad" McGee said. Gibbs walked into the squad room "where is ziva?" Gibbs asked while sipping his coffee. "Don't no boss" tony said even know he knew exactly where she was. Ziva then walked in. "sorry I'm late Gibbs my alarm clock didn't go off" she said smiling at tony.

"Our serial killer has killed again" Gibbs said putting a photo of a girl on the screen.

"Tony and ziva you are doing paperwork, McGee your with me" Gibbs said picking up his gear and heading towards the elevator with McGee in toe, ziva waited for the elevator to shut before she spoke. "We need to set the alarm in future" ziva said with a big grin on her face. "I forgot I was a bit busy last night" he said ziva laughed. "Will I be busy again tonight?" ziva asked. "Depends on my ninja friend, you?"Tony said. "Yes he's taking me to dinner at a posh restaurant" ziva said "he is?" tony asked in a bit of shock. "Then were going back to his place to set the alarm" she said as tony smiled. 2hours later...

Gibbs and McGee rushed in "we have a fingerprint and a note" McGee said as she rushed to his seat to put the note on the screen. It said "I told you I would be back to make you pay". "Someone wants revenge" tony said. "You think?" ziva said. "Do we have a match on the fingerprint?" tony asked McGee. "Not yet" he replied. "I need to use the men's room" tony said and walked off. "I`ll see if Abby has got anything" ziva said and walked off in the same direction. But left her phone behind.

Tony was waiting for her behind the stairs as soon as her cam round the corner tony grabbed her and pulled her up against the wall and started to kiss her. He didn't notice McGee had just walked around the corner. "Tony" she said then continued to kiss him "yea" he said "McGee is watching" as soon as she said it he stopped.

"McGee, you can tell anyone" tony said while holding ziva`s hand.

"One condition" he said almost with a smirk on his face. "What mcgeek?" tony asked with a sigh. "For starters you can stop with nicknames" he demanded "fine" tony said in an almost mad tone. "And all of my paperwork for the next two months" he said in a very smug tone. "Ok" tony said depressed. McGee gave ziva her phone and went back to the squad room. "That was too close if it was Gibbs" ziva said realising how careless they had been. "I know" tony said letting go off her hand and walking back to the squad room, ziva then followed 5 minutes later not to raise suspicion. It was soon lunchtime with no hit on the fingerprint McGee went to give Abby a caf POW. Gibb sent tony and ziva to check because he had been there for over half an hour. As they walked into Abby's lab they saw McGee kissing Abby. "Mcgeek" tony said. Ziva smiled realising Tim's blackmail attempt had just failed. They stopped kissing. "I guess I'll be doing my own paperwork then" McGee said. Tony just nodded. "Fingerprint abs?" tony asked. "Nothing but that letter was written by a women" abs said. "Thank you Abby" ziva said as tony and her walked out. In the elevator... "what posh restaurant are you going to tonight?" tony asked "the one on George street" ziva replied "at 8" she said before she walked out of the elevator and filled Gibbs in about the letter. "One of your enemies again tony?" Gibbs asked, ziva smirked. "Not that I know of Gibbs" tony responded. "could be yours or McGee`s" he said. Gibbs just gave him a glare. "I`ll get started on a list" he said and started writing down a list. The list took all day ziva and McGee also helped him. It was 5pm...

"Night" Gibbs said as went into the elevator.

"You and Abby doing something tonight mcgeek?" tony asked.

"Yes" he said as he also headed for the elevator.

"shouldn't you be getting ready for your date?" tony asked "I hear he has got one hell of a night planned and he has already set the alarm clock oh and he wanted me to tell you he will pick you up at half past 6." He said before walking out ziva finished off her work and went home to get ready.

6:30pm....

Tony arrived at ziva`s apartment. Ding dong. Ziva opened the door wearing a dress similar to what she was wearing nearly 1.5 years ago (season6 episode 1). "Wow" tony said as he saw his date for the evening. "You like?" she asked. "I like, I'm not hungry do you want" ziva put a finger to his lips and shut the door behind her. At the restaurant they had a table next to the window lit up by candles. They had gone through nearly two bottles of wine. "I guess we are walking back to my place then" tony said before drinking more wine. Ziva smiled. They left the restaurant and walked back to tony`s apartment, when they walked in tony poured them a glass of wine each and put the rest of last night movie on. "That was a reasonable night" ziva said. "Reasonable?" he said almost comically shocked by her response. Ziva laughed. "Ahh, but the night is not over yet" tony said kissing ziva`s neck. "Have you set the alarm?" ziva asked before kissing tony. "Yes" he said taking her into his room.
