Chapter 20
(**Flashback**)
'What?' Gibbs hissed angrily.
„Calm down! Jeez! I was just kidding..." Tony said, relaxed.
„Fine. You two, good night. I'll see you tomorrow"Gibbs muttered.
„Ok, bye" Tony picks up his coat and puts it on. He steps out of the bullpen.
„Good night" Kate said as she rushed to Tony.
„Really? Did you have to do it? " She said, frustrated.
"Oh, it's revenge, Katie" he said while a grin slowly spread across his face. She rolled her eyes and then asked:
"Why? Revenge for what? " She was now pissed off.
"Well, for today. Entire day. You should be feeling sorry for me right now, because of everything I went through today, but no, you had to make fun of me and call Abby" He answered her.
"Fine. I'm sorry. Is that better? " She nearly yelled.
"A little. But you didn't mean it" He said with joy.
She groaned: "Uh! Ok, Tony. I'm really sorry" She said with a sad face.
"You still don't mean it, but I'll let it pass this time" He grins at her.
"Thank you!" She said feeling relieved.
"Now, I wonder what Probie was up to" Tony said questionably.
"What if he did have a date?" Kate said. Tony laughed.
"Come on, Kate. Even if he really does, I'm not willing to marry you" He said.
"Yeah, well me neither" She agreed.
They got out of the building. Tony says:
"See you tomorrow"
"Yeah, same" She replies and walks away. Tony walks away, but in the opposite direction.
Abby and McGee
Abby's getting dressed, at her home. She's waiting for McGee to pick her up. It's 6:50 P.M. She picked classic jeans and a black top. Well, it's pretty much usual for Abby. She hears a doorbell.
"I'm coming! " She yells.
She takes her bag and takes a quick look at the little mirror next to her closet. She opens the door, where McGee is standing with flowers. The flowers he picked are white roses.
"Hi" He finally says.
"Hey" She says, and afterwards, notices the flowers. "Oh, Timmy, you really didn't have to! You said as friends, right? "She says while smiling.
"Oh, well, I just wanted to surprise you, but if you don't like them, you can always throw them away…" He says kind off sadly.
"Oh, no, no, they're beautiful! My favorite! How did you know? "She says while sniffing the roses.
"Well, I didn't know, actually. Lucky guess, huh? "He smiles. Abby tilts her head while smiling back. He then says:
"I forgot to say, that you really look gorgeous tonight, Abby"
"Oh, thanks. But, remember, McGee! Friends" She blushes while telling him this.
"Right. Shall we, then? "He suggests.
"What are you, Ducky? "She says. He looked a bit offended, so she quickly corrected herself:
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you like that"
"It's ok, don't worry about it" He says. He walks her to his car. They both get in. McGee starts the engine. He drives them to the restaurant.
20 minutes later…
They arrive at the restaurant's parking. McGee parks the car and gets out. He approaches Abby's side and opens her door. He holds the door for her while she's getting out. After she got out, he closed the door slowly, and locked the car.
"Wow, you're such an gentleman, McGee" Abby notices.
"Uh, thanks, Abby" McGee blushes.
They get in the restaurant and take their seats. Afterwards, they both open their menus and look for meals. The waiter approaches them.
"Good evening. May I take your orders, please? "The waiter asked respectfully. Abby and McGee lift their heads slowly.
"Good evening, sir. Um, I'll take the, stake please" McGee orders.
"And what would the lady like to eat?"The man asks.
"I'll take chicken legs and spinach, please" She says.
"Anything you two would like to drink? "The waiter proposes.
"I'll take a Coke" Abby says.
"Yeah, me too" McGee agrees.
"Okay" The waiter says while writing down their orders in a small notebook.
"Some band is going to play here tonight, huh? " Abby asks.
"Not only one, Abby. Lots of them" McGee smiles.
"Awesome" She says. The waiter comes back with their drinks.
"I'm just caffeine crazy, McGee. You have no idea" She says while taking a sip of her Coke.
"Yeah, I can see that" McGee laughs, as well as Abby. The band Abby saw just finished their song. The band was called 'Desperately Happy' Abby thank that name of the band had no sense, but when she saw McGee enjoying their performance, she decided not to tell him. When they meals arrived, McGee said:
"Guess who is performing next" He sounded quite excited. Abby looked confused.
"Um, I don't know" She said. He got up from the table and said:
"Me!" He climbed up on the stage. A few more guys appeared behind him. They started singing. Abby was shocked. She waited for the song to finish. After 2 minutes, McGee went back to their table, followed with applause. Abby's jaw was literally on the floor.
"And?"He asked excitedly.
"Awesome" Abby said.
"Thanks" He said with blushing. They continued chatting and eating, when suddenly McGee said:
"I really, really like you"
