Chapter 7
The first thing Jenny was aware of when she began to wake up was the pounding in her head. How much bourbon did she have to drink? She asked herself her hand going straight to her head.
The redhead then felt the person beside her start to stir; she turned slowly and smiled at the man beside her. She looked at Jethro's face, he was so much more peaceful, he looked younger, he reminded her of the teenage boy she'd met all those years ago.
She couldn't believe he was lying next to her, merely a day ago she'd been angry at him but after a couple tumblers of bourbon she couldn't resist his blue eyes and charming smile and before she knew it they ended up in bed together.
Jenny remembered the last time he had been in her bedroom, the day after she's found out about her dad dying, how he'd held her all night as she cried for her father and the fact that she was going to be leaving, she was determined this time not to leave, she just hoped he didn't regret what happened the night before.
"I can feel your eyes on me" his voice mumbled from beside her.
"I can't help it if your nice to look at" she said leaning in closer to him and caressing his cheek with her thumb.
Gibbs smiled before reaching up and taking her hand in his and kissing the palm of her hand, "any regrets?" Jenny asked biting her bottom lip in anticipation of his answers.
"Non what so ever" he replied leaning over and capturing her lips with his. He smiled as he felt her smile against his lips, they broke away laughing with happiness. Then they kissed again.
"We should get dressed, we'll stop by your house on the way to work" Jenny said pushing him away a little but he stayed close anyway and she didn't really want to fight him.
"Wouldn't want to do the walk of shame "he mumbled against her lips before beginning to kiss her again.g to kiss her again.
, Jenny laughed against his lips before giving in.
"Mmm…Jethro we have…have to get to work" she managed to say as he began to place butterfly kisses on her neck.
"We could always call in sick" The blue eyed man said grinning against her neck.
"Leroy Jethro Gibbs doesn't get sick, you never even had a day of school" she commented
"There's a first time for everything" he said kissing Jenny's cheek, chin before attacking her lips once again.
"I can't I have a meeting with SEC-NAV" Jenny said pushing him off of her so her landed with than 'oomph' next to her with his head buried in the pillow.
"Fine you win" he mumbled into the pillow as the redhead sat up beside him a grabbed her dressing gown before slipping it on.
"I'm going to have a shower and get dressed, get some coffee" she said getting up and leaning over the bed to kiss him before walking into the bathroom.
Fifteen minutes later Gibbs was waiting in Jenny's kitchen, he walked around it with a mug of coffee in his hand. Turning he found himself looking at the stools he had sat on so many years ago.
It had been where he and Jenny had first kissed, when he had asked for a second chance, the night he had known she was truly someone special in his heart, a night that changed his life for the better.
Taking another sip of the hot liquid he turned again only this time to face the fridge, his eyes were drawn to a scrap of paper being held up by a couple of magnets. Gibbs moved closer to get a better look at it.
Once he was close enough to read the neat hand writing on it he found that it seemed to be a list, a list of things to do? All of a sudden he felt slender arms wrap themselves around his waist and a chin rest on his shoulder. "What you doing?" she asked, her breath hot against his ear.
"What's this list?" he asked motioning to the paper with a nod, he got worried when he felt her arms move away and then she stood in front of him wearing a black pencil skirt, blue blouse, black jacket and blue high heels, he couldn't help bit grin, she looked good but then in his opinion she looked good in anything
She move to the fridge, bringing him from his trance "It's nothing" Jenny said taking the paper and pulling it off before crumpling it up in her hand.
"Jen" Gibbs said in an almost whiney tone "If we want this relationship to work we have to be honest with each other" he said following her around the kitchen as she made herself coffee.
Jenny put the pot down before turning to the man she'd given her heart to many moons ago and smiled as he took her hands in his "Ok" she said taking a deep breath "It was a five point plan of everything I wanted and how I would get it that I made when I was seventeen" she confessed.
Gibbs was a little hurt he hadn't seen his name or anything to do with him on the list, he tried not to let the emotion show but as always Jenny saw straight through his big tough guy mask and saw what he really felt. "Come with me" she said taking his hand in hers and leading him upstairs to her bedroom.
"Though you said we didn't have time for this Jen" Gibbs said with a cheeky grin making Jenny laugh before shaking her head at him.
He then watched as Jenny bent down and pulled an old shoe box from under her bed and sat down and he sat beside her. Slowly she pulled off the lid like she'd done the day before, she lifted out a bundle of letters held together by a single elastic band "I kept every letter you ever wrote to me" she said before placing the bundle on her bed and putting her hand back in the box.
The she pulled out a thing black velvet box "I used to always wear this, but I stopped wearing it when you didn't show up the other night" she explained opening the box to reveal the heart shaped pendant he had given her for her birthday.
She watched as he fingered the J's, he's remembered seeing the pendant in the shop window and working extra shift and some of Abby's at the shop to get extra money to save up for it. "May I?" he asked.
Jenny nodded before turning with her back to him and pulling her hair to one side as he slowly put the necklace around her neck and fastened the back just like he'd done when she'd first put it on.
A kiss on the cheek later and Jenny was back sifting through the box, she showed him the pictures he'd laughed at most and smiled at the strip from the photo booth, then she came to the reason she'd brought the box out.
She pulled out another piece of paper similar to the one on the fridge and held it for a moment before speaking "This is a list of things I was going to do once my five point plan was complete" she said before handing it to him.
The only things written on the paper in big bold lettering 'find Jethro'. He traced the words with his thumb. "Jenny…I… you" he wasn't really sure what to say.
"I'm sorry for never replying to your letters Jethro life just got so hectic" Jenny said shaking her head.
"I know Jen I know" he said taking one of her hands in his and giving it a squeeze.
"Things might have been different if we had kept in touch…maybe it would have been better if we'd just stayed friends" Jenny continued even though Gibbs thought it not necessary.
"Look at me" he said lifting her chin to look at him and she did with her watery green eyes "I wasn't just your fault it was both of us, you gave me an out remember before you left and I wouldn't let you go Jen, I couldn't and I wouldn't and I still won't" he said giving her a smile "I mean I know we've only known each other for twenty years but I really like you Jen" he said twisting his words from all those years ago.
Jenny couldn't help but laugh "I really like you too" she said cupping his cheek with her hand before placing a soft gentle kiss on his lips. "We should get going, unless you want to do the walk of shame" Jenny said getting off of the bed and walking out of the door and Gibbs followed loyally behind.
TBC…
Kind of rubbish and pointless but what did you think?
I have ideas of where I'm going but if anyone has suggestions please give them!
