Chapter 48

After having a long argument with Gibbs about not finding the terrorists, Kate and ony came back to their apartment, glad they're alive with all of their body parts on their places.

„Gosh, I thought Gibbs is gonna kill us"Kate said as she sat on the couch.

„Yeah, me too" Tony agreed and sat by her.

„What time is it?" Kate asked, turning to Tony.

„It's... 10 A.M." Tony glanced at his watch.

„So, what are we gonna do now? " Kate asked.

„Watch a movie? " Tony suggested.

„Okay, but which one? " Kate said and got up from the couch.

„Please, James Bond! I want to watch it so bad"Tony pleaded, while giving Kate the puppy look.

„Fine, we'll watch James Bond then "Kate sighed and stumbled on the couch again. Tony inserted a disc into the DVD player and the movie started.

At the NCIS building…

Jenny looked around for a while, and finally found her place. She opened the doors where 'Director' was written. The room looked like a typical office. She sat by her desk and unpacked.

"I could get used to this" Jenny said and smiled. She couldn't help but think about Gibbs again. Suddenly the phone rang.

"NCIS' Director's office" She picked up.

'Jenny?'

"Jethro?" She said, trying to remain calm and professional.

'Um, I just called to say that I'll be back tonight to help Abby and McGee'

"Oh, okay, then. Well, goodbye" She said quickly and hung up. She sighed.

Tony and Kate…

Kate and Tony are still watching the movie.

"Tony, that was so unreal!" Kate yelled for the hundredth time. Tony groaned.

"KATE! Please. It's a movie. Everything is unreal!" He yelled.

"I know, but still" Kate whined. Tony rolled his eyes.

"Well the end credits are about to roll" Tony said.

"Okay" Kate said and leaned on his shoulder. She looked up and he looked at her. It looked like she was asking for approval.

"Sure" He said, answering the question she didn't ask. She leaned back on his shoulder, feeling a little embarrassed. They sat like that for a minute, and Kate fell asleep like that. She was tired because of the hard day. Well, yesterday wasn't good either.

(AN: Never let me go-Florence+ the Machine plays.)

Gibbs…

Gibbs is sitting at his desk thinking about Jenny and Paris. Everything happened so fast. He hated himself for never calling. For never saying he's alive and okay. Never did he think they would meet again. Neither did her.

Then he remembered Kate and Tony. He would always deny there's something about them. And he liked it that way. Denying. Because, he thinks the same thing will happen to them as to him and Jenny. When he looks at Tony, he sees young Jethro. He sees himself.

And Kate, she's like his daughter. If Tony would hurt her, whom he thinks he will, he would break Tony's bones, one by one.

And then, it struck him. What if they're doing something right now? Not while I'm here He thought and ran out of his apartment. He almost broke the door of their apartment. When he came in, he saw Tony and Kate head to head, and went furious.

"DiNozzo!" He hissed angrily. Tony turned around, while Kate still on his shoulder.

"Shh!" Tony shushed him.

"Don't you shush me, DiNozzo!" He nearly yelled.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked, in a whispering tone.

"What's wrong? You're trying to do it with Kate, that's what's wrong!" Gibbs nearly yelled.

"I'm not trying to do it with her!" Tony said.

"Who's trying what?" Kate murmured sleepily.

"Nothing, Kate, nothing. Go back to sleep" Gibbs sighed and walked out.

"Well, that was weird" Tony added.

"Yup" Kate agreed and stretched her arms. They were quiet for a while, but Tony broke the silence.

"Hey, it's lunch time, want me to make something or we're going to cafeteria?" Tony asked, looking at his watch.

"We'll go out later" She got up and went to the bathroom. Tony sighed and went to the bedroom to take his laptop.

15 minutes later…

Kate walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in her towel, as usual. She came into the bedroom.

"I'll be going now" Tony said when he saw her. He smiled, making Kate blush. Now the mild smile turned into a huge grin on his face, with a wink.

"Tony, out" Kate hissed.

"Okay, okay" Tony said and turned off his laptop. He walked out. Kate just rolled her eyes and got changed. She stepped out of the room and sat on the couch again.

"Do you think Gibbs is too obsessed with the Director thing too?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, kind of. But he has a reason" Tony replied, and sat next to her.

"What do you mean?" Kate questioned.

"Well, he told me this secret" Tony whispered to her.

"What secret?" Kate was persistent. Tony sighed.

(AN: The reason -Hoobastank plays)

"Well, he and the Director had a thing" Tony finally said.

"Morrow and Gibbs?" Kate said in shock.

"NO! I meant Jennifer and Gibbs" Tony kept whispering.

"Oh. Wow" Kate said.

"Yeah, but now he's obsessed with us, because he think we'll make the same mistake" Tony explained. Kate's pupils widened. Oh my God, what if something does happen. Kate thought.

"He's crazy" was all Kate could say.

"I know" Tony said with a chuckle. He smiled. They stayed awkwardly silent for a few seconds.

"Well, do you want to take a walk around the hotel, or get some food?" Tony suggested and got up.

"Yeah, sure. Let me get changed" Kate said and went to the bedroom and closed the door behind her. Tony sighed.

Five minutes later…

"Kate, you ready?" Tony asked.

"Yeah!" She yelled before opening the door. She stepped out of the room and Tony gasped. She was wearing a short green lace dress.

"Wow, Kate… Amazing" Tony barely said, with his eyes fixated on her dress. He loved when she was wearing green. It suits her well.

"Thank you" Kate said and blushed again. Lately, she's been blushing a lot.

"i guess we can grab dinner, then" Tony said, still not taking his eyes off Kate.

"Sure. Tony, it's not nice to stare" Kate said. Tony shook his head and got out of the amaze.

"Sorry. Just…so…" Tony looked again in the dress. Kate punched him in the arm.

"Okay, not looking anymore" Tony held his arm in pain. She smiled. Tony opened the door for her and got out. Someone bumped into them.

"Hey, watch where you're going… boss?" Tony said as he looked up to see his boss' angry face.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"We were going out for dinner" Tony said in a high-pitched tone.

"Oh, fine. I'm leaving now. When I get to NCIS headquarters, I'll call you two, okay?" He said and looked at Kate.

"Okay" Kate and Tony said at the same time.

"Nice dress, Kate" Gibbs added and walked away.

Tony and Kate exchanged confused looks.

AN: I know, this one was a bit boring too, sorry about that. But soon enough, you'll be grabbing tissues, it's getting emotional. This is the part where the story becomes dramatic. By the way, those two Author Notes in the middle of the story, that's the soundtrack. Every time you see a soundtrack in my story, open a new tab and play that song on YouTube. It's more realistic that way ;)
