Chapter 10

It had now been a month since Kelly's birthday party, since what had happened in the kitchen, Jenny had been avoiding Gibbs, and Gibbs hadn't been the only one that had noticed, in fact, Ducky had noticed, the team had noticed and more importantly Kelly had noticed, and it concerned her.

She was worried that she might have got it wrong, that she and Abby shouldn't bother trying to get Jenny and her Dad together, maybe they didn't like each other.

"What's wrong Kelly?" Abby asked when she noticed the glum look on the little girl's face, she come with Gibbs to work and gone straight to Abby's lab to be her 'assistant' but had barely spoke since she arrived, something which was unusual for her.

Kelly turned to Abby, looking at the Goth with her big blue eyes, "I don't think Jenny likes my daddy anymore" she spoke uncharacteristically quietly.

Abby's eyebrows knitted together in confusion "I'm sure she doesn't" Abby tried to comfort her.

The little girl shrugged her shoulders "She said she was too busy for me to come see her" she sniffed so Abby pulled her into a one armed hug.

"I'm sure she was just busy" Abby assured the little girl, Kelly obviously cared about Jenny to get so upset over this, she'd obviously grown very attached to her "We'll figure something out Kel, your dad and Jenny our made for each other" the older women assured her, she thought of Kelly as a little sister and so were always very close.

Meanwhile…

Jenny came out of MTAC and began to make her way back to her office, she was trying as hard as she could not to look down at the teams, she knew if she did that that she would make eye contact with a certain silver fox and she knew if she did she would give in, she would say to hell with everything and run down there and kiss his face off and not think about the consequences.

When she reached the halfway point to her office the sound of an unfamiliar women's laughter reached Jenny's ears, she had to turn around and look.

She had to stop her jaw dropping to the floor when she saw Gibbs flirting with a tall, skinny blond women, she was standing next to him, batting her eyelashes and twirling a curl of hair around her finger and laughing at him and Gibbs himself seemed to be enjoying it, laughing in return.

The redhead felt something she hadn't felt in a while, the bitter feeling of jealousy; the strong desire to go down there and pull the blonds hair out came over her.

"Director" Cynthia's voice echoed to Jenny bringing her back to real life.

Jenny nodded to the younger women, hoping that Gibbs and his little friend wouldn't look up and notice that she had been standing there, staring at them for the past five minutes.

Unfortunately both Gibbs and the blond turned and looked up to the catwalk to see Jenny walking off towards her assistant and walking back into her office alongside Cynthia.

…

An hour later and Kelly skipped into the bullpen, but she stopped abruptly when she saw the blond women sitting on the edge of her father's desk talking to him.

She didn't like the look that the women was giving her dad a bit, it was a look that she'd sworn she had seen Jenny looking at her dad like that.

"Daddy?" Kelly cocked her head to the side to look at him slightly confused.

"Hey Kel, your remember Holly" Gibbs smiled at his daughter, it was true 'Holly' or Hollis had been her dads last girlfriend, one that Kelly had never liked but then that had been three years ago.

"Yeah" Kelly gave the blond a weak smile.

"Kelly, you've grown so much in the past three years" the blond pulled the ten year old into a tight hug.

"Uhuh" Kelly mumbled before finally being let go.

"Holly's going to take you home and look after your for the afternoon until I'm done at work here" Gibbs told his daughter with a smile.

"But I thought I could spend the afternoon with Jenny" Kelly pouted, Hollis turned to Gibbs and raised an eyebrow at him, who the hell was this 'Jenny' Kelly was talking about, he just gave her a look to say never mind.

"She's busy, plus you'll have fun with Holly" Gibbs assured Kelly as he handed her her pink back pack and pressed a kiss to her forehead "Be good, I'll be home as soon as I can" he promised her.

As Hollis walked with Kelly towards the elevator they passed Abby who was heading to Gibbs with results and noticed the familiar blond, now she was just going to put a spanner in the getting Jenny and Gibbs together works, she then noticed Kelly mouthing 'help' to her making her let out a small laugh, there was really nothing she could do, before heading to Gibbs.

"Watcha got Abs?" Gibbs asked when Abby walked into the bullpen.

"I think the question is, what is Hollis doing here?" she asked him raising an eyebrow.

Gibbs just took the paper from Abby's hand and began to read it without answering.

"Your not back with her are you?" Abby almost shuddered at the thought, it had been a train wreck at from the beginning.

Gibbs shrugged his shoulders "dunno" he grumbled "This is good work Abs, text McGee the address and tell him to go there" he ordered her.

Abby nodded before leaving Gibbs alone, he ran a tired hand before his face, who was he kidding he and Hollis, were never going to happen, so why did he call her last night and have lunch with her? He didn't know, was it to try and keep his mind off of Jenny? To prove to himself that he wasn't falling in love with Jenny? Or was it to make Jenny jealous?

What did all the reasons have in common? Jenny, he groaned to himself before puffing out his chest and making his way to Jenny's office.

As per usual he didn't bother waiting for Cynthia to announce him before just barging in, luckily Jenny had been expecting him "What can I help you with Agent Gibbs?" she asked him, not moving her eyes from the computer screen where she was checking her emails.

Gibbs didn't answer he only shut the large door behind him "I was expecting to have Kelly join me this afternoon" she told him, finally looking at him over the rim of her reading glasses.

"She's spending time with someone else" Gibbs grumbled.

Jenny nodded slowly, pursing her lips before replying "That women that was in the bullpen, didn't recognise her as an agent" she said casually as if she had only glanced at them.

"Yeah" he nodded "Something wrong with that?" Gibbs asked eyeing the redhead for a moment, something in him wanted her to admit that it did bother her.

"Nope" Jenny replied her voice a little hoarse and did her right eye just twitch?

"Right" Gibbs nodded almost scoffing.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jenny asked, anger rising within her.

"Nothing" Gibbs shook his head before he headed to the door.

"Tell me" Jenny demanded, standing up from behind her desk with her arm folded over her chest.

Gibbs also a little angry turned on his heels "Your telling me, seeing me with another women, doesn't bother you?" he asked her.

"Why should it?" Jenny asked knowing full well why it should.

Gibbs huffed "After what happened a month ago, on Kelly's birthday, in the kitchen" he hinted and still Jenny shook her head so he continued "You weren't sorry for what happened, you didn't say you didn't want it you just said that there were reasons that we shouldn't be together" he continued "So you didn't deny you have feelings for me" he added.

Jenny stood silent for a moment not sure what to say, of course he had been right, but she couldn't admit it, if she did then it would ruin everything, she would just fall into his arms and she couldn't do it, she was his boss, what would people think, what about Kelly?

So she found it better to lie "Your wrong, now get the hell out of my office" she growled at him, she hated having to lie to herself and him, she didn't want to do this but there was no way.

"Good day director" Gibbs growled back before walking out slamming the door behind him, had he really been so wrong? Or did he see her right eye twitch again, was she lying ?

TBC…

Please review, should I continue… any suggestions to get rid of Hollis.
