The next morning, Charity woke up to Tony kissing her neck and tickling her sides. She giggled and then rolled over to face him. "Good morning to you, too." She said, a grin on her face.
Tony grinned back. He stroked her hair. "You are incredibly beautiful and sexy." He told her. "I could get very used to waking up to your beautiful face everyday."
"I think I could get used to being woken up by your kisses every morning." She replied. "I could think of a few other things I could get used to waking up to."
"Really?" Tony asked, rolling Charity over on her back and hovering over her. He kissed her lips. "You're talking about coffee, right?"
Charity grinned. She kissed him. "How'd you know?"
"I can read your mind." Tony answered. "Now can you read mine?"
Charity didn't say anything. She just pulled Tony's lips to hers and slowly slid her hands down the front of his body. It was that moment that her cell phone chose to ring. "Do you have to answer that?" Tony asked.
"Unfortunately." She replied, reaching over and picking up the ringing phone. She looked at the screen. "I definitely have to get this. It's the director." She then answered the phone. "Good morning Director Shepard." Charity greeted.
Tony had not moved from his position over Charity, hoping that they would be getting their morning together. "Yes Director." Charity said into the phone and then hung up.
"You have to go." Tony stated.
Charity sighed. "Yes. I don't want to."
Tony stroked her cheek and gently kissed her lips. "Go to work. Visit with your dad when you get the chance and call me when you're free. Then maybe we can spend the day in bed."
Charity grinned up at him. "You are something else, Anthony DiNozzo. Are you sure I'm not dreaming and didn't just make you up in my mind?"
"You're something special yourself, Charity Gibbs." Tony replied. "And I promise, I'm real."
A while later, Charity was dressed and in a cab on her way back to NCIS. Before she went up to see the director, she stopped by her desk and grabbed some new clothes from her drawer and then started for the bathroom.
"Stayed out all night boss?" Burley asked.
Charity ignored him and went straight to the bathroom. She changed into the pale blue shirt and black dress pants. She then dropped hergear off at her desk and headed up to the director's office.
"Good morning Agent Gibbs." Jenny greeted.
"Good morning, Director Shepard." Charity replied.
"I gave you the night off last night, since you had just been reunited with your father," She began, "But now I need you back to work. Last night we not only found your father, but we also uncovered a terrorist cell. We need to find out what they are up to. I'm counting on you and your team to do what you do best."
"Yes director." Charity replied.
"I believe the key is the man that broke into autopsy." Jenny said. "Focus on him. If you can find him, you might be able to find the group."
"Yes, Ma'am." Charity agreed. "We will get right on it. Is there anything else?"
"That's all for now." Jenny replied.
