A lot of Densi in this chapter. I really tried to postpone some things (hint hint ;)), but while writing, I couldn't stop it. Have fun reading and I like to hear what you think about this chapter.
- Another chapter, in two days (more like one day, but technically it is two days because it is past midnight in the Netherlands. ;)) This was the last chapter I wrote before it was deleted last time. I have two chapters ready in Dutch, so I just have to translate them. After those chapters, I have to write new ones. Oh, and I still like the reviews! :)
It took a while before they finally could go home. Callen and Sam where gone before anyone noticed. Deeks looked at Kensi and Kensi simply melted inside when she saw his glance. "Hé" Deeks said with a soft voice, his mouth still forming a smile.
"Hé" Kensi answered, with a voice just as soft as her partners.
"Do you need a lift to your car?" Deeks asked and a frown appeared at Kensi' face until she remembered that her car was still at Deeks place because they came together in his car to OPS that morning.
"Yeah, that would be nice." she said.
"Okay, let's go." Deeks said and they walked to his car. When they walked to the car, neither of them had said a word and unnoticed they had gone walking hand in hand.
When they came by his car, Kensi became aware that she walked hand in hand with Deeks. She looked at Deeks and Deeks moved one hand to her waist and he pulled her closer to him. He was afraid Kensi would pull herself back very soon but at his own surprise she even did a step forward. That gave Deeks the confidence he needed to go through with what he was doing. He laid his other hand on her cheek and brought his face closer to her. Kensi felt butterflies in her stomach and met his face halfway. She felt his lips gentle coming on hers and she kissed him back, her lips on his. The kiss was tender and at the same time deep and passionate. They had closed their eyes, but when they where both breathless and pulled their heads back, they looked each other in the eye. The love was written in both of their faces and they just stared at each other, still speechless from what happened moments before.
"Kens, please say something." Deeks looked desperate at his partner, afraid that he had gone to far. Kensi saw his fear at tried to put him at ease.
"I just don't know what to say Marty. I think what just happened, whatever it means, is something we are both feeling. We both took a step in that direction and neither of us had backed away. Whatever it is we are feeling, that must mean something, right?" Deeks nodded, surprised that she had called him by his first name.
"I am just afraid that I have gone to far, that I pushed you to hard to do something you were not ready to do yet or something you will never be ready to do. I am afraid that by kissing you, I have lost you forever." He is scared by the last sentence he said. He had spoken out loud what just happened and that is something difficult for both of them.
"Marty, you have done nothing wrong. It is okay and whatever it is that we're feeling, we'll figure it out. You will never get rid of me, okay? You just fanned the fire that was already burning. I know that I want it, but I am just busy with the whole pregnant thing in my head and I just don't know yet how I am gonna get those thoughts together, how I can fix this." Deeks nodded approvingly, reassured by the words Kensi had just spoken. It gives him the courage to say what is on his heart for a while.
"Okay." He says smiling.
"We'll figure it out, you and me. I love you Kensi Marie Blye and the pregnancy hasn't changed that. It just makes me want to be there for you more than ever, be there for you and the child that's growing inside of you. I wanna give you all the love that is in me. I don't wanna go faster than you want, do things you are not ready for. I have taken the first step, and it is your job to take the next step. I'll be waiting as long you need to take that step. In that way I know that I will not walk past you, but walk aside you. We will keep talking about where we are, about where you are all the way, okay?"
A smile appears at Kensi's face. "You never say out loud what I am about to say to you, but Marty sometimes you are too good for this world." Deeks chuckles.
"I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship, but I know you are the most important person in my life and I hope I will be ready eventually. I know I wanna be with you, wanna talk with you and wanna lay in your arms, just like we did this morning when we woke up, although a bed will lay better than a couch for the next time. I know I'm ready for that, it felt good."
"Okay, I can do that." Deeks says smiling and he puts a smile on Kensi's face.
"Shall we go?" Deeks asks. Kensi nods.
"Yes, that's good." They both step into the car and drive to Deeks house. On the way they don't speak, but that's alright. The silence is comfortable and it gave Kensi and Deeks the space they needed to think about what happened a couple minutes ago. Once in a while one of them looks aside and that gave ease. They knew that it would come, the thing they wanted to be and whatever long it would take, it was something they both looked forward to.
When they came at Deeks house, they waited a minute before getting out of the car. Kensi stood there thinking about what to do. She wanted to go home, get some rest, sleep in her own bed, but the idea of being with Deeks was also nice. "Hé, just go home, get some rest, a night sleeping in your own bed is good. I think you need it." Deeks said, as if he could read Kensi's mind. Kensi nodded and a smile appeared on her face.
"Can you read my mind?" she said and Deeks had to laugh.
"After four years of partnership, I can see when you are thinking about something and don't know what you wanna do. You making a choice here, it had to be about staying here or going home, so I thought I help you make you decision to do what is best for you." He winked at his partner and she laughed.
"Alright, let's go home then." Deeks took a step towards Kensi. Kensi saw his intention and came closer to him. She put her arms around him and Deeks did the same. They stood there for a moment in each others arms. When she withdrew herself, they smiled.
"I see you tomorrow Marty!"
"See you tomorrow Kensi, good night." Kensi went home. Deeks stood there watching until he couldn't see her anymore and went inside.
The weekend had been too long for Deeks. In reality it hadn't been too long. Saturday they'd had another case and only sunday they had time to rest. Deeks had been home alone all sunday long and the whole day his thoughts had gone to Kensi. How was she? Will she have thought about us? They had consciously chosen to spend that sunday apart, to put their thoughts together.
