She figured it out about five seconds too late.
"Wait, was that - were you," she frowns, totally confused. "Were you going to kiss me?"
Deeks scratches the back of his neck and clears his throat. "Uh, no, I, uh -"
He was. "You were! You were going to kiss me!"
He shrugs a little and pushes up off the couch. "Well, yeah, okay, maybe, but it was just," he waves it off, "I don't know, a heat of the moment thing."
"Heat of the moment? We were talking about thai food."
"Spicy thai food," he corrects.
She laughs. "Oh, so you meant heat literally."
"No, I -"
"Curry really turns you on?"
He huffs, but there's a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."
"Not as much as I could be."
His eyebrows shoot up to his hairline. "You mean…"
"I mean," she says as she pushes up off the couch, "that it could stand to get a little hotter in here."
He drops his hands to her waist as she steps up to him. "I would love to make fun of you for that ridiculous line but I'm also really looking forward the possibility of kissing, so I'm refraining."
She closes the distance between them, lips hovering above his. "A very wise choice."
