"Happy Birthday!" Sam said coming up and hugging me. Deeks wasn't far behind. I walked back to the table everyone was sitting at.

"Wow, I feel like a total bitch now." I said smiling.

"Why?" Kensi said laughing. She was wearing a metallic grey dress with a one shoulder strap.

"Well I kinda thought everyone forgot and I was a little pissed." I said feeling guilty.

"You think I would forget you sis?" Paige said hugging me. I noticed then that G wasn't there. Everyone started talking and I got up to go get a drink and to get away from them. Don't get me wrong I love people but when they start talking I start feeling left out. I walked up to the bar and sat on one of the stool.

"I'll take a margarita double the alcohol." I said motioning toward the bartender. He smiled and grabbed a glass.

"On the rocks or blended?" he asked looking up at me.

"Blended lasts longer." I said glancing back at the table. Everyone was laughing at what Paige was saying.

"So a party you don't want to be at?" the bar guy asked. I turned back to him and laughed.

"It's a party for me so I do want to be here. It's just my friend is telling everyone my sad life story and I can't sit and listen to that." I said.

"Here's your margarita." he said putting it in front of me.

"Thanks." I said looking back at the table. I looked around the club and saw Callen making his way into the club. Great.

"Oh and guess what you get to meet my living hell today." I said looking up at the bartender. He raised his eyebrow but kept working. G sat down on the stool next to me. He motioned for the bartender who walk over and looked at him.

"I'll take a beer." G said obviously not grasping the meaning of club.

"Hey." G said looking at me.

"Oh hi I didn't see you there" I said looking at him. As soon as our eyes met I could feel my resolve melting and my heart felt like putty.

*************POV of G Callen************

I walked into the club Paige had told me to go to. I hadn't argued at the time because it was Paige and I wanted to get out of the office. There were people there who I didn't want to see. I wasn't a people person I never was and never will be. I enjoyed sitting with the team but it hurt too much when I had to sit next to Christy. Every day I could feel the resentment, hurt, and hostility she directed at every spare moment of her time. All I wanted was to grab her, kiss her and then tell her why I had broken up with her.

It wasn't my fault. I had been given direct orders from Hetty who could tell I was emotionally and physically strained after trying night and day to find the killers. Then after weeks she shows up days after we buried her. I sighed pulling myself back to reality and made my way to the bar. I sat down and motioned for the bartender then ordered a beer. I sunk back into my thoughts and could see clearly the sadness in Christy's eyes when I had said, Look, I had fun but I don't like you anymore.

All I wanted to do was explain but I couldn't. I wasn't going to let anyone get fired or transferred. We were a family and family stick together. I turned and realized who was sitting next to me.

"Hey," I said looking down at Christy who was sitting with a margarita.

"Oh I didn't see you there." she said obviously trying to hurt me. I looked at her for a while until she looked up and stared into my eyes. I could see the pain written on them. I could feel pain of my own bubbling up inside me.

"Look I don't want to do this anymore can I tell you everything." I said grabbing the beer.

"Sure you can explain if you want." she said glaring at her drink. I told her why I had to break up with her and how Hetty had given me an ultimatum. She sighed and looked back at the table. By the time I was done talking she had gone through three double shot margaritas.

**********POV of Christy***************

I listened to the end of his story and actually felt like forgiving him but maybe that was the booze talking. I looked back at the table with our friends sitting around it. I wanted to go and join them but I also wanted to stay here with him.

I got up and made my way to the table G followed close behind me.

"Hate doin this to everyone but I'm goin to have G drive me home cause I am drunk and I don't need to be driving." I said, voice slurred, looking at everyone.

Paige looked weird for a moment then everyone wished me a final happy birthday and I walked outside. G was trailing behind me. We got to my car and I tossed him my keys. I got in and must have fallen asleep because I woke up at my apartment.

I sat up and looked around. He was sitting on the kitchen counter with one of my beers. I sat up and looked at the clock it said it was 11.

"Is Paige home?" I said looking back at him.

"No, she called to make sure I got you home okay." he said smiling his god damn sexy smile. I looked away knowing my resolve was crumbling. I heard him walking toward me and I just gave up. Who cares if I was mad at him? I liked him a lot and he was the closest thing to a boyfriend I had in a long time. I felt the couch move slightly as he sat down. I got up and made my way toward my room.

"Well I'll just go then." he said getting behind me.

"You don't have to. I was going to throw some pajamas on and watch a movie it is Friday." I said turning around.

He smiled and threw his jacket in one of the chairs. I walked into my bedroom and grabbed my sweats. I went to put them on but then I saw my Ed Hardy nightgown and grabbed that instead. I had forgiven him and I was hoping he would spend the night. Paige was leaving town in the morning and I wasn't going to be trapped here alone.

I slipped the night gown on. It wasn't really a nightgown it was more of a long camisole. It was black and had two tigers on it. I smiled and headed into the living room. I walked over to the couch and grabbed the blanket Paige used to "spice" up the room. I flipped the TV on and found the movie channels before curling up against G. He smiled and wrapped his arms around me. I flipped through the movie list until I found The Hurt Locker.

"Good choice." G whispered in my ear.

"Thanks." I said turning around till I was facing him. I kissed him and didn't stop till the opening credits were done. My phone rang then and I looked at it. I saw Paige's name flash across the screen.

I grabbed it and answered it "Hey Paige, what's up?"

"Umm I don't think I'm coming home tonight. Dom and I are going to a resort and I already have clothes. Sorry." she said trying to explain herself.

"That's fine I'll see you Sunday night" I said looking up at G smiling "I'm a bit busy anyway. My weekend looks booked." I said winking. He smiled at me and held me tighter.

"Kay night" she said hanging up. I curled into G and turned toward the movie.

**************2 hours later**************

I flipped the TV off and got up. G was asleep and I covered him up with the blanket. I walked to my room and laid down. I set my alarm for 4 in the morning and drifted off to sleep.
