Kensi ended up falling asleep on Deeks's shoulder. He noticed that Kensi was asleep and he lay down on the couch pulling her along.
The sun radiated through the curtains when Callen woke up with a strange emptiness in his chest. Nell was sleeping with her back to him and seeing her like this, Callen came up and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Nell turned in her sleep and leaned her head against his Callen's chest, who, now already felt much better with his princess in his arms.
It was the best feeling in the world to have someone in your arms...someone whom we can call 'mine', in whom you trust to talk about what scares us, with whom we can share our happiness...someone to protect with all our strength, someone to whom we can ask for a goodnight kiss because somehow you'll sleep better, and a good morning kiss because we believe that kiss will make our day better...someone to who you say 'I love you' with all the certainties and ' I don't want to lose you' because that is our greatest fear. But above all is someone whom we call 'home' because that person happens to be our home, our world. It's to who we tell all, with who we spent the day in bed because we don't feel like to go to work. It's with this person that we want to spend our life and we share everything with her all the time, whether happy or unhappy.
"Good morning." - said Nell with a sleepy voice.
"Good morning, princess." - said Callen twirling Nell's hair
"You won't get up?"
"I feel like spending the day in bed, like this, just the two of us." Nell smiled. "And i want to ser the photos you took of me". Both laughed
"They're really bad, but i'll show you." - said Nell getting up to go get the camera. Nell began showing him the photographs and stopped at the one where Nell was dancing samba.
"This is very pretty." Callen give her a kiss. "It was when we were playing 'truth or dare'?"
"Yeah. When Deeks said one consequence was having to kiss one of you." Callen smiled. "I still had to think twice to see which one i would do. "
"Why?"
"Because otherwise, had chosen to kiss you and it was not the right time."
"For me there was no problem." Callen laughed and Nell hit him in the arm. "I'm sincere. Who says the truth doesn't deserve punishment." "But I didn't know if you felt the same too, so i didn't do anything until i know."
"I already feel the same a long time ago, but i never had the courage to show it." - Callen said looking into her eyes.
" , the NCIS agent who has the courage to go after bad guys alone, but doesn't have courage to show what he feels." - said Nell joking.
"It's harder than it looks. You know perfectly that i'm not good at 'showing feelings'. But it was hard...all this time without doing anything and seeing that every time you dealt better with Eric." They continued to see the photos. "Well, you like a lot to get me photos on the beach and sleeping...for what i see." - joked Callen
"Don't be silly. You're a good model for photos so it's no my fault." Nell smiled.
"Now I get why you were in the kitchen." They both laughed. "But seriously, they are spectacular. Why don't you persue this?"
"You really want to see me out of NCIS?"
"No, quite the opposite. In fact you could do both at the same time. "
"How...?"
"So, you create a blog or so and shoots. Maybe one day someone will give you due credit."
"It's really sweet that you want to help but i already have the due credit...yours. And I know you'd probably say 'the merit of a person skilled in the subject' but the truth is that i already have the credit of who i love and it was never my intention to follow the area of photography. I like, well i love but only as a hobby."
"I just think that so much talent shouldn't be wasted."
"Oh, what you want is seeing me outside of work." - joked Nell
"Ok." Callen pretended to be grumpy.
"I'm kidding." Nell gave him a kiss.
...
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, Kens. Autch! I think i broke something."
"Seriously, Deeks? You don't last a night on the couch with your girlfriend?"
"If you'd stop eating so many cookies, it helped." - joked Deeks
"You're so stupid!"
"I love you too." - Deeks said while trying to kiss her.
"I don't want kisses." Kensi pulled him away
"You don't want them."
"No."
"Ok." Deeks did nothing, just leaned back on the couch waiting for Kensi to turn around for him.
"You really know how to act with a woman." - said Kensi upset.
"What? Now I don't understand anything. I gave you kisses, you said you didn't want then and I stoped. Now you're upset because i don't give you kisses. I no longer understand women." - said Deeks laughing.
"You are very funny, but then don't complain."
"Oh, you won't be upset, will you?" Deeks began to give her kisses on the neck. "Hum?"
"I told you i don't want kisses." He didn't stop and start to tickle her. Kensi laughed.
"Well, there's a lot of fun down there." - Callen said laughing and Nell laughed. "How about a movie?"
"Great idea! 'Mamma Mia'?" - Nell asked excitedly. "I've always loved this movie."
"Fine for me. Never saw the movie, so. And i'll do whatever it takes to see you with that smile on your face." Nell kissed him.
"Stop it!" - Kensi said while she was laughing.
"You are no longer upset?"
"I am." Deeks made her more ticklish.
"That's enough! Ok, I'm no longer upset."
"Are you serious?"
"No. Ok, im not!"
"Yeah, i thought it too."
"You're bad." Kensi throwing him a pillow
"Yeah but you like it"
...
During the film, started the song "Honey, Honey". Nell couldn't resist and started singing to Callen.
"Honey, honey! How he thrills me, hu hu, honey, honey...Honey, honey, nearly kills me hu, hu, honey, honey. I've heard about him before. I wanted to know some more. No i know what they mean, he's a love machine." Callen grabbed her and turned them.
"I love you, Nell." She didn't said anything...just kissed him.
...
"Well, shall we have lunch?"
"What exactly?"
"Well, we need Callen."
"Leave him. Let's order pizza or something."
"Okay I'll ask them if they fals want." - said Kensi
...
"Can i?"
"Of course." - said Nell
"Well, lovebirds we'll order pizza for lunch. You also want?"
"Yes sure. Sorry if we didn't go downstairs but we wanted to stay here together." - said Callen smiling.
"No problem. Enjoy it. After I bring you pizza." - Kensi said smiling. "What you are watching?"
"Mamma Mia. I love the movie and he hadn't seen it yet so..."
"Ok. I don't bother you anymore."
*The bell rang*
"I go!" - Deeks said. "Hum so good." Deeks was enjoying the smell of the pizza.
"Give it to me." Kensi was going to bring pizza to Callen and Nell
"To me you don't take the food to the room." -said Deeks joking but Kensi just rolled her eyes
...
"Come in." - said Nell
"Here you have your lunch."
"I could get used to it." - Said Callen and Nell looked at him. Callen laughed. "I'm kidding."
"I'm going down. If you need anything call."
...
"What will we do in the afternoon?" - Deeks said ending his slice of pizza.
"Those two want to stay in bed and I think we could go to the amusement park. What you think?"
"We'll leave them alone?" Both laughed.
"Ok, it can be. C'mon then."
...
"It's a really cool movie." - Said Callen
"It is. Reminds me of when I was little and my parents were putting ABBA on the radio. It was a party whenever it happened." Callen has not stopped smiling. The song "Lay all your love on me" sounded on television and that was the one that Callen knew the lyrics by heart.
"I wasn't jealous before we met, now every man that i see is a potential threat. And i'm possessive it isn't nice, you heard me saying that smocking was my only vice. But now it isn't true, now everything is new. And all i've learned has overturned, i beg of you."
It wasn't usual to hear him sing but the truth is that Callen sang very well.
"Don't go wasting your emotion. Lay all your love on me. Don't go sharing your devotion. Lay all your love on me." Nell completed while pulling him by the shirt for a kiss.
...
"May I?" - Kensi asked knocking on the door. Callen and Nell smiled.
"You can." - Said Callen
"Sorry to bother, but it was just to say that I and Deeks go to the amusement park. Anything, call."
"Okay, go. Have fun!" - Said Nell
"And you two behave yourselves!" The three laughed
...
"You ready?"
"I am. We can go." - Kensi said
...
"Wow! I'm Feeling like a kid again."- said Deeks looking to the huge Park right in front of him.
"You are a child every day." She loves to joke with him
"Why am I still talking?"
"Because even a child like you needs to do it." Deeks laughed
"From where do we start?"
"Roller coaster!" - said Kensi excited
"And i am the child." - muttered Derks quietly
"What did you say?"
"Nothing ... roller coaster."
"C'mon!"
...
"I'm not a big fan of movies, but this onde is worth to watch. Great cast and is an interactive movie. I'm enjoying it." - Callen said smiling
"Glad you like. And yes, they are good actors. Mainly Meryl Streep. I watch her movies since I have memory."
"I really like Pierce Brosnan. He has charisma, acts well..."
"It's charming." - Nell completed
"That too, but I'm not ...?" - asked Callen laughing.
"But you're not an actor." They both laughed.
"I see, so we have to be an actor to be charming?"
"Not necessarily. You just need to be a man with blue eyes, turning, sexy and fight crime with style."
"That was the best answer i havê everr heard."
"I know." Both laughed
...
"Ok, you don't catche me on a roller coaster again."
"You're so weak. It's just a roller coaster, Deeks!"
"No. .. it's not just a roller coaster. It is the object of my nightmares as a child." Kensi started laughing. "You can laugh, but i caught a little scared to death."
"Oh yeah? What was it?"
"It was my birthday and my dad wanted to surprise me. Then he brought me to a roller coaster at the amusement park that existed only twice during the year. It is obvious that every child would love to ride a roller coaster and I was completely happy. Except for my unhappiness, that day, the mountain broke down and we were 'stuck' at the top. The worst thing is that my father had heart problems, and began to feel unwell. I started getting scared and wondering what was happening as I watched my father suffering. I only remember that it suddenly started again, and if it wasn't him, despite not being well, I think i wouldn't be here today. If he hadn't grab me, I had flown completely. They took him to the hospital and it was a close call that I didn't become an orphan that night...Now you know why I do not like roller coasters."
"Sorry that I made you remember that moment..."
"It's ok. I can't be afraid of things forever."
"Well, let's forget it and go back to the fun." - Kensi said smiling
"Yeah, is better."
"Target shooting"
"Target shooting." - Agreed Deeks
"Film finished, and I'm starving." - said Callen
"So let's make a cake. Therefore they also can eat when they arrive."
"I don't know. I think the cake will disappear in a few seconds."
"Don't be greedy! Come on let's get things ready."
"And it will be about...?" - adked Callen
"I don't know, we can make a fruit cake." - said Nell while showing some fruits to Callen.
"Good idea. Hands-on, then."
First step, put all the ingredients on the kitchen counter.
Second step ... well I guess this is not quite as they appear in recipes. Chosen ingredients, it was necessary to balance the quantities since it was for four people. An ingredient: flour, and it was a great hubbub.
While Nell was busy with the eggs, Callen has been measuring the amount of flour that was necessary, but as is obvious, it wasn't all. Nell started to see flour falling ahead of her and that was when she noticed that Callen began to play with the flour. She stopped what she was doing and started throwing him flour and so started a war full of flour in kitchen.
After a few minutes both already appeared two snowmen. Nell loved these games with Callen. First it was with the hose in the pool...now with flour...
These were moments that were making the holidays special. Callen hold her closer to him and started to pour flour over them and kissed her.
Nell couldn't explain, but found it romantic, perhaps because he was doing it, despite the kitchen being completely disorganized.
...
Kensi and Deeks went to get some shoots.
"A round please." - Asked Deeks. "You'll see that I will win the biggest teddy bear."
"We will see." - Kensi said smiling
"I'll win but like all winners, I need inspiration." Kensi soon realized where he was goinf and gave him a kiss. Deeks loves all the kisses they both share, but this was diferent.
There was just the two of them. The only noise in the air was of their hearts beating faster and the sound of their heavy breathing.
If the beat of a butterfly's wings can cause a typhoon halfway around the world...then the sound of those two completely passionate hearts could originate hundreds of volcanoes. But the difference between these volcanoes was simple ... none of them belching lava, but a pleasant fragrance that made everyone fall in love with all who lived around them, and even those seeds that no longer yield fruit, were reborn of ashes. When the kiss ended, both simply let themselves get that moment to look into each other's eyes.
"Well...this was somthing."
"Now, don't you win the teddy." - Kensi joked. And he won. Deeks always hit the target and won the teddy bear. The board had two positions for target shooting and in the other there was a man whose daughter was sad, because the bear Deeks had won was the last.
Kensi looked at Deeks who approved what his look meant.
"Here, take it, little girl. Guess that means more to you than to both of us." - said Deeks smiling
"Thank you!" The girl hugged Deeks. Kensi couldn't help but smile after that so affectionate gesture.
"You're welcome."
