Heyloo! Thank you for all the reviews and feedback I got for the last chapter, I really appreciate it. So the promo pictures… don't know really what to say about them but lets wait and see for the actual promo. One little bad word in this chapter, so be warned. Anyway here is chapter 9.

Kensi awoke feeling refreshed and safe. She could feel Deeks' arm around her waist and she could hear his heart beat thumping against her ear. Kensi slowly raised her head up from Deeks' chest to take a look at his sleeping face. His mouth was opened slightly as soft snores emerged from him. Kensi smiled a little at his appearance, relishing the moment with Deeks. Kensi sighed and unwrapped herself from his embrace, and grabbing the first piece of clothing she could find. She then made her way through to the kitchen, taking one last look at sleeping Deeks.

Deeks' eyes flickered open to be greeted to a white ceiling and an empty pillow next to him. He sat up slightly, running a hand over his face over coming his sleep like state. His nose was suddenly filled with the strong aroma of bacon, making him sit up straighter, pulling him out of his sleepy state.

Deeks groggily stumbled down the hallway to the doorway to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen the radio was turned up and Kensi faced away from him wearing one of his blue dress shirts, making him smile. Another thing that made him smile is that she was dancing whilst cooking the bacon. Her hips swung in time to the song 'Empire State Of Mind' moving on the spot.She used the spatula as a microphone, one hand still on the handle of the pan, securing the bacon. Deeks chuckled to himself.

He had never seen Kensi so carefree and fun. He started to walk up behind her as the chorus came up, wrapping his arms around her waist singing the chorus with her.

"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of!" They sung in time. Kensi laughed, knocking her head back so the back of her head was rested on his shoulder, as she smiled happily at him.

"You look happy, princess." He whispered to her. Kensi spun round in his arms so hands were linked at the base of his neck, and his arms still around her waist. She chuckled, still smiling brightly at Deeks.

"That's because I am." She grinned back, pecking him on the lips as she kept eye contact, enticed by his light blue orbs.

"Shit! The bacon." Kensi cried, spinning round to check the burnt meat.

"Ugh, it's ruined." She sighed, poking at the extra crispy bacon.

"Nah its not, the black bits are just extra flavor." Deeks winked at her, steeling the piece of bacon off her spatula and biting into it.

"See?" He asked, putting the half eaten bacon next to her lips. She took a bite out of it and screwed up her face.

"No? It's just burnt Deeks." She chuckled, about to toss out the bacon when he stopped her.

"Don't waste good food! I can still eat that!" He complained, snatching the bacon away before she could throw it in the bin.

"You can eat anything…" Kensi acknowledged more to herself. Deeks chuckled, wrapping a spare arm round her waist from behind.

"C'mon princess, you know you wanna bite…" He teased, waving the bacon in front of her face.

"No, trust me I really don't…" Kensi laughed back at him, trying to get away from the bacon waving in front her face. Deeks shoved the last bit in his mouth, chewing and swallowing quickly, then pulling Kensi into him.

Neither one of them said anything, just smiling gently at the other, eyes locked. Deeks leaned in, as Kensi reciprocated, moving her face closer to his. Their lips met in the middle, moving within each other's. After a while they pulled apart and Kensi screwed up her face once again.

"You taste like burnt bacon!" She accused.

"Oh, c'mon Fern you know you love it…" He teased again, peppering kissed all over her face as Kensi struggled to get away from his firm grasp, squealing and laughing.

When she broke free, she ran through to the bedroom and jumped on the bed throwing the duvet at Deeks who was right on her tail.

He jumped up on the bed next to her and took her by the waist, as she squealed. She bumped into his front, still laughing as Deeks started kissing her face again.

"Ok,,, ok… I surrender!" Kensi admitted through laughs.

"Mmm huh that's what I thought." Deeks grinned at her as he kissed her temple, pulling her in so they were in a tight embrace.

He leaned down so his mouth was right next to her ear.

"You know I really love you Fern…" He whispered seriously. He felt her nod in the crook of his neck.

"I know… I love you too Deeks…" She whispered back, nuzzling the crook of his neck, inhaling his deep scent.

"So… you really meant what you said?" He asked her, his voice turning a little nervous now.

"What's that?" She whispered back, removing her face from his neck to look at his face quizzically. He avoided her eyes, suddenly scared of her answer.

"That er… I never have to leave, and go back to my apartment?" Deeks asked, still not making eye contact. They stood there in silence for a couple of minutes, until Deeks pulled away taking her silence as a no.

"Er… sorry, I didn't mean to push you… I guess… I'll leave now then…" Deeks half whispered, sounding defeated. Kensi still stood there, her eyebrows crossed as she grabbed his arm as he was about to leave.

"No! No! Of course I meant it Deeks!" She cried, pulling him in for another hug.

"Phew… wow Fern, you really had me scared there." He whispered into her neck.

"Of course I meant it…" She whispered back, fighting the tears.

"Good cause I definitely don't wanna leave!" He chuckled kissing just under her ear.

"Good cause your not." She pulled her head back and smiled at him sweetly, leaning in and pecking him on the lips, then resting the side of her head against her cheek.
