Week 1
The next Monday, she walked in the bull pen. Deeks had been gone a week now. She had completely forgotten about the surprises, so when she saw a wrapped gift on her desk, she raced over and just stared at it. How the hell was this happening? He was undercover right now, there's no way he would risk his OP to come here. Was someone helping him? Hetty maybe, or Nell, she thought to herself.
Looking around and not seeing anyone, she picked up the gift and saw the same light purple paper on top. Opening it, she was greeted w/ her partners writing and another note:
Kensalina – SURPRISE! Inside, you will find something that you love more than anything. Try to make them last more than 10 minutes. Keep smiling sunshine. :) - D
Tearing the wrapping open revealed a box of her beloved Twinkies. I could kiss him right now, she thought, smiling. Damn, that man knew her. But how the hell did it get there? Taking a Twinkie out of the box, she thought of all the little things about him that she loved.
His jokes, sometimes the only thing that kept her sane after the horrors that they witnessed. He knew when to be serious, when to joke, and when to say nothing at all, offering her nothing more than a smile and beer and the promise of bad reality TV later.
What had she been like before that fateful day at the MMA gym when she got her first look at Jason Wyler, AKA Marty Deeks. She thought her life was good then, but looking back, she knew it wasn't. Hell, her life now was not right when Deeks was gone. Everything was off.
Before him, she was used to going home, taking a bath after a long day, ordering some take out and watching TV. Since him, it was pretty much the same with beer and movies being pretty normal, but the difference was she wasn't alone. She appreciated having someone with her, to laugh and make jokes with. Now, since he had been gone, she was restless, wondering where he was, what he was doing. It was slowly making her crazy, this thirst to know what was going on, if he was ok. She had to get a grip. Kensi Marie Blye did NOT do this, whatever THIS was.
Shaking her head to get her mind right, she looked up as Sam and Callen came in.
Looking at her desk, Callen raised an eyebrow. "Who sent the Twinkies Kens?" She threw the box in her drawer and glared at him.
"Don't even think about it Callen, these are mine, not yours. And for your information, I brought them in with me this morning."
Wow, that didn't sound as convincing coming out as it did in her head. She was going to have to work on that. Callen just smirked and walked off with a smiling Sam towards the gym. Trey walked in and looked at the Twinkie sitting on her desk. She shot him a death glare, shoved the Twinkie in her mouth and stomped off towards the gym.
