Chapter 8

Saturday morning in the Blye - Deeks house starts dark and dreary. Deeks struggles awake to a no surf morning. There isn't a breath of wind and the news said go swimming but leave your board home. A very rare day in LA. Well, Marty thinks, it would be a good day to clean the house as Kensi is going on a spa day with Nell, and Michelle. But at the moment, he has other things on his mind. His naked, clingy, girlfriend is practically glued to his side. She's been very clingy for quite a while now which is alright with Deeks. Still, she needs to get out with friends he thinks so he got her the spa day pass. She'd balked at first but eventually came around to his way of thinking. He'd had to 'coerce' her a few times during the course of the evening. She'd fallen asleep with a smile on her face and Deeks is thinking he needs to eat more oysters or something as he remembers the goings on of last night.

Hours later the alarm wakes them up to the start of the day. The first thing Kensi does is turn to look at him and gives him a huge smile followed by a kiss and they don't get up until an hour later. As Kensi showers, Deeks makes them breakfast and thinks of how well his life has turned out. He also has a thought pop into his head completely out of the blue. He has thought of a long range future and Kensi is in it by his side. Maybe, . . . just maybe, he'll clean quickly and go look at some rings. He realizes that he wants to spend the rest of their lives being together. Earlier in his life, the thought of him ever being married brought chills to him, but no longer. Now, he doesn't see a future without Kensi in it and thinking that, she sneaks up behind him and hugs him. As he turns around in her arms, he looks into her mismatched eyes and tells her, "I love you Kensi Marie Blye . . . until the end of time!"

Kensi looks at him with glassy eyes and can't imagine a future without this man. He gives her whatever she wants and if he doesn't have it, he'll get it for her. She wonders if there will ever come a time where he asks her the important question. She hopes so.

As he's looking into her eyes, he starts to see that she's thinking of something else and reminds her, "No baby, you have friends coming in less than 30 minutes. There is NO time for tom-foolery. Now, sit down and eat your breakfast."

Kensi looks at him and slowly licks her lips and tells him, "Revenge is best served cold, Martin Andrew Deeks, payback WILL be forth-coming." And then chuckles at the look on his face.

"But baby, you KNOW there is no time. Right?"

Kensi just looks at him with a smirk on her lovely face.

Not much longer and the girls get to the house and it was decided they would take the Audi as there was more room. Seeing as the girls arrived earlier than expected, Kensi still needs to change clothes and Nell remembers she left something in the car that she wants to give to Kensi. So while Kensi is getting dressed and Nell goes out to the car, Michelle takes it upon herself to sway over to Deeks and whisper in his ear, "I have missed you Max. More than I thought I would." And then quickly runs her tongue along the edge of his ear.

"Quinn, we can't . . . I can't. I have Kensi now and she's my everything; the sun to my planet. My life revolves around her. We decided that day that nothing more was to be done with the you and I scenario. There is Michelle and Sam, and Deeks and Kensi. That's all it can ever be now. So, behave yourself!" And then he walks over to the kitchen breakfast bar for a coffee. Michelle watches him walk away thinking of what might have been and quickly tamps her feelings down, never to think of Max again. From now on it's strictly Marty Deeks - Special Agent, and Michelle Hannah, wife of NCIS Special Agent Sam Hannah.

They all have a cup of coffee and then leave, leaving Deeks and Monty to clean the house. Monty isn't much help though as all he wants to do was sleep. Marty is just finishing up with his house cleaning when someone knocks at the front door. As he looks through the peep hole he sees Sam and wonders to himself what could he possibly want here? Only one way to find out as he opens the door. "Sam! What an unexpected pleasure. What's up to bring you over here?"

"Well, Deeks, Michelle is with your girlfriend and Nell for the day, Kamran is at an all day birthday party, and Callen is in San Francisco with his girlfriend. I thought it would be a good time for us to hang out for awhile."

Deeks looks at him askance and thinks to himself it might be a perfect time for him to get Sam's thoughts on the ring idea. "Sam, it's a little too early in the day for alcohol so how about some iced tea?"

That would be fine Deeks, that would be fine." Sam tells him and walks out the door onto the patio where he sits down in a lawn chair.

Deeks follows him outside and hands him his drink and sits down. He thinks of something else and mentions it to Sam. "Sam, you know how you and Callen are always playing champion of the world in the gym at work? How would you like to play at the Coliseum once? I think I could talk my best friend into getting us some floor time if I asked him nicely."

Sam looks at him in disbelief and asks, "You have a friend that can do that? What, is he a janitor or something?"

"No, he's more in the 'something' category. His name is Kip Brigham."

As soon as Deeks says that, everything goes sideways. Sam is spewing tea out of his mouth, his nose, and if it was possible, it would have come out his eyes and ears. He starts coughing and has a tough time breathing and then Deeks can't hold back anymore and starts laughing. Well, if looks could kill, Deeks would be a goner.

"How in the hell did you ever meet Kip Brigham? Let alone become his friend? Does Kensi know about this?" Sam queries.

"Kip and I were in the same foster care home growing up in Reseda. I was the one that taught him to play basketball. We've been close friends for over 20 years. That's how I get all those great seats for the games we have time to go to."

Sam's eyes almost bug out of his head hearing that. "Taught him how to play? Man, you never play good with us in the gym. How could you ever teach Kip how to play like he does? Hell, Kensi ALWAYS beats you playing one on one."

"Well, Sam, I'm good at getting people to think that I'm not very good at doing certain things. You remember when I joined the team that first year, right? No one on the team trusted me, not even the slightest bit. After a while, I didn't want to let anyone know I was better than I let on. And letting Kensi win all the time? Man, have you ever seen how cute she looks when she wins?" He tells him. "Sam, you should have seen her the first time she met Kip. It happened about 2 months ago on a Saturday night. We were just lying around watching some goofy reality show when he knocked on the door. Kensi was sprawled on the couch in a pair of baggy sweat pants and my old LAPD tee shirt. Her hair was a mess, half down, half in a tail. No make-up. To me she looked out of this world gorgeous. Anyways, I saw who was here and opened the door and Kip hollers out 'Marty-Mar' whatcha doin'?' Well, hearing that, Kensi sat up and her head swiveled to see who was here. When she recognized him, she jumped up and proceeded to fall over the coffee table flat on her butt. She just sat there stunned that Kip was here, in our house and that he knew me. I helped her up and introduced them and things went a lot smoother then. Now when he stops over here or we go over to his house, he's just a guy we know. We don't make him out to be special and he appreciates that. So sometime down the road we'll all get together for a pick-up game. Would you like that?"

"Damn Deeks, I'd love it! Just pick a time and we'll be there."

"I'll do that Sam. Sometime down the road we'll play some round ball at the Coliseum. Maybe some of his team mates will play with us also. We should have a fun time with that bunch." Saying that they both go back to drinking their tea and Deeks thinks about asking Sam about the ring but before he can, Sam interrupts his thoughts.

"Hey Deeks, tell me something of that op you were on where you met my wife."

"Well, actually it was twice we worked together. The first time was just after I had made detective. I was undercover chasing a drug dealer when the drug dealer turned into an arms dealer. His name was Enrico Gomez. He asked around and found an expediter to negotiate an arms sale. I worked with her for almost 5 weeks before the guy was shut down. I never found out that she was a fed and she never knew I was LAPD. The day of the buy, I noticed some movement in an upstairs window and thought it was the raid I had set up with my handlers. I didn't want her to get tangled up in it as I had plans of possibly using her again in the future if I had to go undercover in an arms deal again so I sent her out to my car for an imaginary brief case. That was the last I saw of her that day."

"The second time was a few years later. The guy I was working for had stolen 12 FIM-92 Stinger missiles, shoulder-launched surface-to-air-missiles, and wanted to peddle them quick. We worked together that time for about 5 days. The day of the sale, a dirt bag in the buyer's entourage knew she was a fed. As soon as he saw her he yelled, "COP!" and pointed right at Quinn. She, in turn, pulled out her badge and yelled "FEDERAL AGENT! DROP YOUR WEAPONS AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!" Well, the seller was standing in front of her and decided to get creative. He pulls a knife and turns to take out Quinn. At that time, I pushed her out of the way, not wanting to let her get hurt. Her eyes really got big when that happened. She was stunned and she took her eyes off the group to look at me. When she did that, the seller went to bury the knife in her stomach and I pushed her away, so instead of her, he got me in the side just above my hip. Damn thing hurt too! All I knew her by was Quinn and she only knew me as Max Gentry, until that night out where she met the new NCIS Agent. I haven't heard anything about her since then."

"She's sort of retired now. She'll go into the field if an arms deal specifically asks for her. Otherwise, she's a stay at home mom. I like it better that way." Sam states.

"Sam, I have another question for you."

"What is it Deeks?"

"I'm thinking of asking Kensi to marry me." As soon as he says that, the tea show starts again from Sam but this one is a lot more spectacular than the first time.

"I'm gonna kill you Deeks! Are you trying to choke me to death?"

"No Sam, I'm just looking for a little guidance I guess. I know you and Michelle make it work and I'm trying to figure out if Kensi and I can do the same."

"Have I ever told you about how much I love my wife?" asks Sam after a few minutes.

"No, you've never really told me much about Michelle."

"Well, to start with, she's smart and funny and beautiful. But the part I love the most? She knows what I do for a living. There's no need for me to lie to her. When I come home after a hard day, doing things I never wanted to do, making decisions that give me nightmares, she understands it. She's had to do the same sorts of things in the CIA. She understands our life, the kinds of things we have to do sometimes." Sam stops talking for a second as he loses himself in a thought. "There is something to be said about being with another agent. They get it. What you and Kensi have? . . . It's a strong bond, stronger than any I've seen. If anyone can make it work, it's the two of you."

Needless to say, but Deeks never makes it out to look at rings that day. He and Sam just sit around and talked about things. He does, however, find out that Michelle is a few years younger than Sam and how the two of them met. Not unlike he and Kensi. When the girls get home, they all decide to fire up the grill. Nell calls Eric and invites him over and when Callen's name comes up, Sam says he is out of town with his girlfriend and to not bother him. All in all, it is a good day all around. The ring shopping will have to wait awhile but he feels it's something that needs to be done.

A/N - I'm going to end this here. I may add to it down the road, but for now I'm going to mark it complete.
