Jealousy (Part 2)

Three more fantastic months they spent working and being with each other. It was not getting old at all. They were both happier than they could ever remember being and they were pleased with everything that was going on with them and that they were finally settling into something that kept their relationship out of the office without drawing suspicion to themselves.

Today, there was a new girl in the office and she was sitting directly behind Gibbs on the other side of the divider. She was trying hard to move her desk. Tony's eyes were narrowed on her and Ziva was staring, worrying a little that this girl had something wrong with her that she was trying to move a desk. Out of the way.

She finally gave up and met Tony's eyes. Ziva followed her gaze and knew what that look meant. Ziva was instantly filled with jealousy, even though Tony's eyes were still narrowed on her.

"Hi, I'm Special Agent Barrett," she said quietly, walking up to the divider and clearly only looking at Tony.

"Special Agent DiNozzo," he said quietly, without his normal flirting that he would have put on a year or so ago.

Ziva almost instantly missed him introducing himself as "Very Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo" but she appreciated the fact that he was not that man to flirt with every female anymore.

"Is this skylight always so annoying?" she asked, with a smile for him.

"You get used to it," Ziva said quietly, still looking at the woman who was trying hard to flirt with her man.

"Hi. I'm Special Agent Barrett. Didn't see you there," she said reaching a hand out and not smiling at all at the woman that was standing in front of her.

"Special Agent David, former Mossad," Ziva said with a small smile playing at her face.

Tony was having all he could do not to laugh as Ziva made sure that this girl was fully aware of who she was and what she was capable of.

"Mossad? Really? What was your job with Mossad, if you don't mind my asking?" the new girl asked curiously, absolutely intrigued by this and smiling at her thinking it was nice that she was Mossad once.

"I was an assassin," Ziva said, her smile growing. "One of the elite."

The girl instantly swallowed and her smile faded. Her eyes returned to Tony. She smiled again.

"I'm fairly new to the area, Agent DiNozzo, would you mind getting some drinks with me this evening and showing me around the area?" she asked.

"I mind," he said quietly, but still loud enough for her to hear. "I'm busy tonight."

"Oh," she said with a disappointed face. "Some other night then."

"Against the rules to date a coworker, new girl," Gibbs voice said as he came around the corner, seeing the jealousy written all over Ziva's face and the anger written all over Tony's.

"It is not against NCIS policy," the girl corrected. "And I have a name. I am Special Agent EJ Barrett from the Rota office. I'll be working with your team if I'm correct in assuming you are Special Agent Gibbs."

"Never assume," Gibbs said. "That's one of the rules, too."

Ziva smirked and turned to Tony as Gibbs walked away. Tony looked at her and smiled. He had an idea. "So, take-out and movie night again?" he asked.

"I thought you were busy tonight?" EJ asked from behind the divider, obviously still listening in.

"I would like that, Tony," Ziva said with a smile and her back turned toward the new agent. "It has been a while since we have had a movie night."

In all truth they had watched a movie (or at least a piece of a movie) every single night. But, it had been a long time since they had referred to these as movie nights and neither one felt like they were lying that way, since it was almost the truth. Ziva glanced back quickly to notice that there was now jealousy on the other woman's face and she faced Tony and smirked.

"Oh, I love movies," EJ tried. "I've watched all kinds of movies. I have a ton of them on their way here now."

"That's great," Tony said almost maliciously. "Come on, Ziva. We've got work to do on this case."

A/N – So, here we have the second part of our jealousy. Personally, I like the way Ziva handled her jealousy, but I can also see where she was stepping back and allowing Tony to take care of EJ as well.
