Summary: Ziva comes back from Israel, but Tony is already in a relationship Keates. How will he choose between two such important parts of his life?
Notes: This one is a super short chapter but I liked having the three parts all kind of intertwine but be their own thing. Thanks for the support so far. I know it's a little out there, but I liked it so I thought I'd put it into the universe thanks for the support so far.
Zoe Kaetes wanted nothing more than to fall into bed and forget about the last twenty four hours. Most of the time she loved what she did, but this case had made it very hard. She was happy that she no longer came back to an empty sterile apartment. She wanted nothing more than to curl up next to her boyfriend. As exhausted as she was she knew she wouldn't say no if he woke up and wanted a quickie. Despite how tired she was her body tingled thinking about how he could make every hair on her body stand on end with just a brush in the middle of the night. He was the only lover she'd had who had been able to keep up with her and she had been happy for the past year.
She got to the building, thankfully without any sleep related incidents on the road. She yawned and tried to gather all of her strength to get out of the car. She stretched out, and seriously considered a cat nap in the car, but instead forced herself out of the vehicle. She knew she'd sleep better beside him, and that she could sleep longer in their bed then in the front seat of her car. She opened the door and was surprised to see the bedroom door was closed, he normally kept it open. Their calico Colby was sitting staring at the fish tank and didn't even move after she'd scratched the animal's head. She locked up for the night, not even going into the bathroom to wash her face or brush her teeth, she could do that when she woke up later. She needed to rest.
She swore she heard him talking before she opened the door, wondering if he taken to talking in his sleep or if she was so tired she was now hearing thing. She knew he'd been under a lot of pressure at work lately, and hoped the stress hadn't become too much for him. As much as she'd wanted to spend more time with him it was hard, and he always assured her he understood. She opened the door, and couldn't believe what she saw. There was another woman in the bed with him. She knew he had a long past, but she never suspected he could be capable of this. Although they didn't officially live together this was where they spend most of their time and she knew he wasn't stupid enough to try this, but couldn't deny what she saw with her own eyes.
"What the fuck is this?" she demanded, wanting to run from the scene that was playing out in front of her.
He bolted up out of the bed, naked as the day he was born. She picked up a pair of balled sweatpants and threw them at him, hitting him square in the head, and now she was wishing she'd picked up something heavier. She had never felt more betrayed and she didn't know who she wanted to kill with her bare hands first, the man she'd been seeing or the woman who was now turning very red in his bedroom as he pulled on the sweats and tried to open his mouth. Keates knew he'd better have a damn good explanation for this betrayal.
Notes: This might have been evil of me. I might have not told you that, but I do update daily so you never have toooo long to wait on a cliffy but there are some things that might take a couple parts to work out.
