DISCLAIMER: NCIS and characters do not belong to me.
Summary: Tony goes missing and no one knows where to start looking for him. Will they find him and will Ziva finally tell him she loves him, or will it be too late?
CHAPTER 6: BECAUSE I LOVE YOU...
"There is this one woman I dated a few months ago..." Tony began. "Do you remember her name or what she looked like?" Gibbs asked. "I definitely remember what she looked like." Tony replied. "Well..." Gibbs started.
Tony started to describe the woman, while Abby sketched her out and then showed the sketch to Tony.
"Wow, you're good…that's her." Tony replied.
"All right, let's get back to NCIS and see if we can track her down." Gibbs said and the team started to leave.
"Ziva," Tony called and she turned around. "Yes, Tony?" Ziva asked as the other left and Tony waited until they were out of earshot. "Do you love me?" Tony asked. "Get some rest, Tony." Ziva said and started to leave.
"Ziva," Tony called again. "What, Tony?" She asked walking back over to his bed. "If you didn't love, you wouldn't have kissed me like that. So what was that kiss about?" Tony asked.
"You're not going to forget about it, are you?" Ziva asked. "No, Ziva, I'm not. Do you want to know why?" Tony asked. "Why, Tony?" Ziva asked not really wanting to know. "Because I love you," Tony told her in a tone that said he meant every word.
"It's the painkillers talking. Get some rest, Tony. I will come back later." Ziva said and left.
After a while, Tony fell into an uneasy sleep, waking up a couple of hours later. The conversation he had with Ziva came back into his mind.
'Because I love you,' He had told her.
'It's the painkillers talking. Get some rest, Tony. I will come back later.' Then Ziva had walked away.
It had taken Tony almost losing his life to make him finally tell her that he loved her and she thought it was the painkillers he was on.
Tony knew though that he did love her and had for a long time, he had not told he loved her, because he was on painkillers.
Would she ever believe that he was sincere about loving her?
