I haven't actually seen Man On A Ledge so anything that is written in here has come from IMBD.
Ziva/Tony date :D
I got a review, by an anonymous reviewer who asked me a few chapters ago where Gibbs was. Would you like to see Gibbs? If so can you please throw a few suggestions of how to get him into this story? I had the idea of this story with typically Tony/Ziva (of course) and Tony/Tim & Abby/Ziva friendship. But if you would like to see Gibbs I will include him :)
Disclaimer: I do not own NCIS or Man On A Ledge.
It was a few days before Tony had contacted Ziva again. Two days before he was free.
When the day finally arrived she was ready with they excuse of her staying at Abby's house and Abby ready to back her up if need be. She was dressed casually for the time being, when she got to Abby's house she would change.
The plan was to actually stay at Abby's house but when they say they are going out for a bit, Abby was going to go out with some other friends while Ziva was on the date with Tony. Then when the date finished they - Abby and Ziva - would return to Abby's house. The next morning she would go home after asking Abby what she and her friends got up to while she was on her date.
When she was at Abby's house she changed into the clothes that she would be wearing on her date with Tony. She felt that with Tony, if he didn't want to date her how she was then she wouldn't date him. She wasn't going to wear a dress or skirt; she was going to wear her denim blue jeans and a white v-neck top that had a fancy design around the collaring in a silvery type of lace accompanied with a pair of black shoes that had the slight heel to them. She could get away with that because she was shorter than he was and at least in those shoes she could walk comfortably.
Abby dropped her at the meeting place at the park entrance and Tony was already there playing games on his phone. She said good bye to Abby and walked over to him.
"Hello," She said. He turned and smiled before saying his greeting as well, "What is the plan?" She asked.
"We're going to see a movie then get some dinner and work out how to ditch that other guy," He said as he stood and began to walk with Ziva close by his side to the cinema.
"What movie are we going to see?" Ziva asked.
"Man On A Ledge. It's about an ex-cop who wants to jump of a hotel roof in Manhattan. There is a psychologist that he requests to talk him down. But while all that is happening the biggest diamond heist is in action," He explained then was faced with the questioning look of Ziva.
"Are you sure you have not seen this already?" She asked.
"No, I have a friend who saw it and I did my own research from movie magazines. I love movies," He stated.
"Okay," She said as she approached the ticket counter.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Getting my ticket," She replied, confused.
"No, I will get your ticket," He said.
"Why?" She replied.
"Because... Look I don't know, but on dates I pay. Can we not change that please," He somewhat begged.
"Okay," She said and waited a little behind him while he got the tickets then went to the concession bar and got drinks and popcorn before handing her, her drink and leading her to the room they were in and finding their seats.
There wasn't much time before the movie started to engage in small talk. It started basically as soon as they took their seats
After the movie finished they walked out of the cinema discussing the movie. Ziva laughed at Tony's over enthusiastic explanations and arguments.
They took his car to the little restaurant that looked rather expensive but Tony told her the meals were decent at a decent price and he didn't get paid until the next day.
When their meals arrived Tony asked her to explain her situation to him so they could work out what to do about it.
"Remember the day you ran into me at the park?" Ziva asked, when he nodded she continued, "Earlier that day I was sat down by my father and told that I would date and marry this person. I went to the park with Abby that day to think about and talk about what I was in for. When I got home I stupidly told my father that if he thinks so highly of him than he should marry him. That of course when down well," She said sarcastically.
"He hit you?" He asked.
"Yes. Then a few days later, he set up a date for him and me. He was the most boring person I have ever listened to; he spoke about himself the entire time. Told me everything. I left in a hurry," She said.
"Do you know why your father wants you to marry him?" He asked.
"No. That was the one thing I could not work out. There is nothing in him to reflect any of his values or anything. No training in anything and no interest in anything thing. A business man," She said.
"What type of man is your father?" He asked.
"He is in the higher ranks at Mossad. We moved here because of some work thing he wanted to do. He can be violent and forceful when he doesn't get what he wants. I have learnt to just do as I am told to prevent myself from getting hurt," Ziva explained.
"So you are basically the good little daughter who will do what ever he wants when he wants?" Tony asked.
"No-" She began.
"It sounds like it,"
"I am not. I do it to prevent injury to my sister or brother," She argued.
"And in that process you are saying 'how high' to his 'jump'," Tony told her, "I bet you are obedient, and will do anything he tells you to," He stirred.
Anger flashed in her eyes before it settled to something Tony couldn't quiet place.
"What gives you that impression?" She asked calmly.
"Just something about you," He replied. Ziva thought about what he said as they finished eating and exited the restaurant after paying the bill.
They walked aimlessly around the town for around half an hour. Asking each other aimless pointless questions. But something was bothering her.
They were standing in front of him next to his car looking up at him while he looked down at her.
"Do you need a lift?" He asked.
"To the corner from Abby's place, I will call her on the way. Um, Tony, can I ask you a question?" She asked.
"Sure,"
"What do you think I can do to rid myself of the reputation of 'jump; how high'?" She asked.
"I don't know. Maybe you should do something rebellious. Something that your father wouldn't approve of," He said moving a little closer to her.
"Like dating you?" She asked with a smile as she made herself taller.
"Ah huh," He said.
"What else do you think?" She said moving herself closer.
He didn't say anything rather studied her for any hint of what she was going to do. Although he had a fairly good idea of what.
Something seemed to click when their lips met; creating the delusion of familiarity and safety. When in fact they barely knew each other. There were no testing boundaries; just the sudden need to be kissing each other as if they had been together for ages. It didn't last for long but the kiss was something that he had never experienced on a first date with someone he was going to call back in the morning.
Her hands moved around from his face to his hair and neck; pulling him down to her level and his hands were on her back. Moving slowly and carefully between her upper and lower back; pulling her body closer to his.
She broke first. Almost gasping for air. She didn't break away too far before speaking again, "Something like that?" She asked with a coy smile.
"Something likes that," He repeated.
"I had fun tonight," She admitted.
"Am I better than that loser?" He asked.
She smiled before answering, "I would not know, I have not missed him. But if you are regarding how interesting you are; then yes. You are better," She replied moving away from him and opening the door to his car.
As she did she heard a car horn blare. She looked out the still open door to see Abby's car across the road.
She smiled as she stood again, "It appears that I do not need the lift," She said, "Maybe some other time?" She asked.
"Second date?" He asked.
"Sure," She said as she walked to Abby's car.
"How was it?" Abby said before she had the door open.
"Good, easy," She said as she put her head back on the head rest.
"Did you kiss him?" She asked.
Ziva's face broke into a large smile, "Yes,"
"What was it like?" Abby asked.
"No words," Ziva stated.
"Who do you like better; Him or Riley?" Abby said.
The smile fell from Ziva's face. Riley. If she had wished he would disappear before tonight, what would the wish be now that she had found and started dating someone so much better?
"Tony," She stated.
"Second date?" Abby asked.
"I would like to think so,"
I am loving the response, please keep it up :D
Review Please :D
