"So, where are they?" - Deeks asked Kensi.
"At the beach. They fell asleep." - Kensi responded with a thoughtful expression.
"Ok, I don't like the look on your face right now. Is there anything I should know about?"
"Not that I'm aware of, but this is strange."
Callen and Nell arrived at home.
"Hello, sleepy heads!" - Exclaimed Kensi with a smile.
"Sorry if we worried you, guys." - Said Nell.
"No. You were in good hands anyway." - Responded Kensi.
"I'll just take a shower and then make dinner." - Exclaimed Callen. Nell went to the bedroom with him so she could put down all the stuff she was carrying.
"What was that about?" - Deeks asked Kensi while joining her at the couch.
"What?"
"The 'you're in good hands' thing. Do you know something I don't?"
"I don't know, maybe. But when you went to buy ice creams, Callen went for a dive and Nell couldn't take her eyes off of him when he got out. It may not mean anything, but I think she likes him."
"Yeah, I noticed that on the other day, when you girls were taking off your clothes, he was staring at her, though it was kind of obvious because after all she doesn't wear like too short or provoking clothes on a daily basis." - Said Deeks.
"Something tells me there's something going on between those two." - Kensi told him.
"Maybe."
...
"Are you gonna use the bathroom?" - Nell inquired.
"Yeah, I was going to take a shower. But if you can go if you want to." - said Callen
"No, it's ok. Go take your shower."
"Really?"
"Yeah, go." - Said Nell.
Callen went to take his shower and Nell couldn't stop thinking about what had happened that afternoon. She couldn't stop thinking about the man that was sleeping in the same bed as she was. Did Nell had feelings for Callen? Maybe, but he would never look at her the same way she looked at him. At least that was what Nell thought. She was one of those teenagers that fall in love with a badboy, but then end up with some nerd. Callen was too much for her. About Callen, he seemed to be ok with what had happened. It had been nothing more than an affection human gesture. Nell was wtching TV when suddenly Callen called her name.
"Nell?"
"Yeah?" "
"I forgot my clothes. Can I go get them?"
"Sure, no problem." After Nell's confirmation, Callen went to get his clothes. Nell wanted to focus on the TV but it was difficult, because Callen was there... Just in a towel and water was streaming down his body. Had it been another man, Nell would be able to focus, but it wasn't another man, it was Callen. The NCIS bad boy, the man every woman dreamed of having. It didn't take very long for Callen to choose his clothes and head back to the bathroom.
"Bathroom is all yours if you want to use it." - Callen said. - "I'll make dinner." Callen went downstairs, only to find Kensi and Deeks snuggling on the couch while watching a movie.
"Sorry for interrupting the moment..." - Exclaimed Callen.
"It's ok." - Kensi said.
"What so you guys want for dinner?"
"I trust you, do whatever you want." - Kensi told him.
"Ok, then."
...
Nell had already taken a shower and was now trying to find her camera so she could take pictures of these summer vacations with her colleagues. Nell went downstairs and then to the kitchen where she found Callen cooking with a cloth on his shoulder. she tried as hard as she could to take a picture of Callen without him noticing... And mission accomplished! even distracted, Callen looked great in photos.
"Guys, dinner's ready!" - Callen alerted everyone and then realized Nell was standing there. - "How long have you been there?"
"A while. I didn't want to be a candle between those two." - Both laughed. In only 15 minutes Nell saw how agile and confident Callen was inside a kitchen and she heard him humming. Many surprises so far during these summer vacations.
After dinner...
"Me and Deeks will go to a bar. Do you wanna come?"
"Sorry Kens, but i´m really tired. Maybe tomorrow." - said Callen
"Ok. How about you Nell?"
"I'll also stay home."
"Alright then. See you later or tomorrow." - said Kensi
"Bye. Have fun!" - said Callen. "Well I'll clean the dishes since those two were freed." - Callen said smiling.
"No, no i'll clean. You already did dinner." - said Callen
"But you don't ne..."
"I insist."
"Okay. Then I go to the gym a little bit."
Nell had already washed the dishes up and walked to the gym. The first thing she noticed was Callen's sweater that was on the treadmill. Callen was fighting against the punching bag. He didn't notice the arrival of Nell because he was listening to music.
It was strange for Nell seeing him without a shirt. Of course she had seen many men without a sweater, but it was strange to see her boss like that, but she couldn't deny that she liked what she saw.
After 10 minutes of training Callen turned off the music. Nell realized and went to the living room without Callen might realize that she was watching him. He hadn't worn the sweater.
"What a workout!" - said Nell while Callen went to the kitchen to fetch a bottle of water.
"Yes ... it was."
"I'm going to bed."
"Me too. I'm exhausted. "
While Nell wore her pajamas, Callen took a quick shower.
"On which side do you rather sleep?" - Asked Callen
"It makes no difference to me. Sleep where you want. "
Thus, Callen lay on the left side and Nell went to the kitchen to drink water.
"Can you turn out the light, please?" - asked Callen already quite sleepy.
"Yes ... of course." - Nell realized that Callen had fallen asleep and took the opportunity to take a picture of him sleeping. The lucky it is that the machine had no noise, otherwise she had been caught by Callen.
Around 3am Kensi and Deeks entered the house and went sneaking into they're room thus preventing waking up the other two.
"No, no, stop!" - Nell screamed in a nightmare.
"Nell ... Nell wake up. Nell." - Trying to wake Callen said Nell.
"No!" - Nell struggled, pushing Callen.
"Nell wake up! It's me, Callen." - Nell woke up and hugged Callen while crying. "Shh, it's okay. I am here. Shh." - Callen said soothingly.
"I'll get you some tea for calm you down."
"No!" - Said Nell pulling him. "Stay here, please." - begged Nell
"Ok, I'll stay. But try to relax." - Said Callen lying again facing Nell.
"Callen?"
"Yup?"
"Could you hug me?" - Asked Nell. No response was necessary because she was scared and Callen just moved to be able to put his arms around Nell.
"Better?" - He asked
"Better." Nell knew it would be difficult to fall asleep again but with Callen's arms around her she already felt safe. She always felt safe with him.
It was 10 am and Kensi and Deeks had already raised, but Callen and Nell were still sleeping. It had been a rough night.
"I'll make pancakes." - Said Deeks
"And I will call those two." - Kensi said
She was surprised when she opened the bedroom door since no one answered. The two were sleeping together and Nell was still in Callen's arms.
"Deeks."
"Yup?"
"You have to see what's going on up there."
"Do I want to see it?"
"Don't be silly, come on." They went up.
"After all, served as something our left, yesterday." - Said Deeks
"Well, it seems so. They both look so cute. "- Kensi said
"Yes, it is true, but now we should go downstairs or we'll be caught."
About half an hour later Nell woke up.
She noticed that Callen still had his arms around her.
"You're awake?" - Callen asked with a sleepy voice.
"I am now." - Nell turned to face Callen. Callen hasn't loosened of Nell and he kept his eyes closed.
"Tough night, huh?" - Said Nell
"Yes, but I hope you're better now." - said Callen moving a lock of hair from Nell..
"... Thank you for having stayed here."
"If i wouldn't had stayed here, where would i sleep.?" - joked Callen. Nell laughed
"No, I mean ..."
"I know." They were looking at each other for seconds that seemed an eternity.
"I think we should go downstairs."
"Let's go."
"Hey! How's everything sleepy heads?" - asked Kensi
"Good morning!" - Said Callen
"The night went well." - Deeks let out while preparing the table.
"What?" - Nell asked because she didn't understood.
"Nothing, nothing. This should be of the yesterday drinks. Never mind." - said Kensi
"Then,we go to the beach? Or we'll stay at the pool?" - asked Callen
"Today we'll stay home. We will debut the pool."
"Want some help, buddie?" - Deeks asked
"Thank you,but not i don't need." - said Callen
They were all in the garden, enjoying the pool and a barbecue.
They were all having fun while eating.
"I'll get my camera." - Said Nell. Callen followed her with his eyes until she was out of his sight.
Nell wanted to take the best pictures for later recall. Took pictures while everyone laughed, Kensi and Deeks in their quarreling and Callen while resting on lounge chair. There were more pictures where Callen appeared than those where it wasn't present. He was a good model for photos. There was no photo where he was looking bad.
"This is a bit off. Let's play a game. "- Said Nell
"Truth or Dare?" - Kensi asked
"Ok" - said Callen
"Then, Truth or Dare." - Deeks asked
"Truth." - said Nell.
"Is it true that you like someone?"
"No."
"Dare: dance a little, throw yourself like a sheet metal in the pool or you kiss one of us. Me or Callen."
"Deeks!" - said Kensi. Callen laughed.
"What?! It's supposed to be stupid!" - said Deeks.
"As you don'r give me another option, i'll choose the first one."
"C'mon!" Said Deeks. Nell danced a little samba and while she was dancing, Deeks nudged Kensi so that she could see that Callen couldn't put take his eyes out of Nell.
