Chapter 25

It was a couple of hours later when Kensi was startled awake by the sound of her text message notification, blaring out the red alert sound Deeks hated. She reached out and grabbed the phone off the coffee table. While doing so, she realized her headache was gone. The aspirin and her impromptu nap had done wonders for her. Checking her phone, she saw it was just after one in the afternoon. She looked up and found Deeks smiling down at her. "Welcome back sleepy head! I'm guessing your head doesn't hurt any more or that text alert would have sent you into orbit with me."

She smiled back at him and said "I feel soooo much better! But, I can't believe you sat here for over two hours with nothing to do while I slept!" She had noticed that the television remote was still on the coffee table along with his cell phone. He would not have been able to reach either without disturbing her. He had just sat there not moving the whole time while she slept like the dead. Considering he was seldom still, that was quite an accomplishment.

"I wouldn't say I had nothing to do. I was thinking about what you said, about trying to recapture the good feelings that I used for that song. I've spent the last two hours composing in my head and I think I actually might be able to do this." His face was serious as he looked down at her.

"Really? I'm so proud of you! Will you let me hear it before it's done or do I have to wait? Please don't make me wait!"

"Actually, I think I'd like it if you helped me with it. Then it would really be our wedding present to them." She reached up and pulled his head down to hers, kissing him lightly. When she went to pull away, he put his hand behind her head and deepened the kiss. Things were just about to get interesting when her text alert sounded again, three quick bursts meaning three more texts, followed shortly by his doing the same. "Somebody really wants to talk to us." he sighed against her lips. "To be continued?" She nodded and sighed in turn, irritated at the interruption at such an inconvenient time.

She rolled onto her back and readjusted herself on his lap. When she read the first text she started laughing. It was from Nell and had been sent to the whole group who'd gone out last night. It consisted of just one word.

'Ow'

The next text was from Joelle to the group and was a little longer.

'I'm never drinking again. I'm a school teacher! I should know better!'

Michelle's came next.

'I am sooo never going out with you people ever again!'

The last was from Laura.

'You guys are all such light weights!'

Kensi showed her phone to Deeks to let him read them for himself. He chuckled as he read them all and then looked at his phone. "Can you hand me mine? I can't reach it sitting like this, unless you want to get up?" Kensi shook her head no and reached out and snagged his cell off the coffee table and handed it to him. His texts were from Eric, Sam and Callen. He grinned as he was pretty sure what they were all in reference to. He opened Eric's first.

'I am never letting Nell go out with your girlfriend again! Do you have any idea how sick she feels right now?'

Deeks grinned and texted back.

'Good luck with that buddy! Let me know how it works out for you. I'll have the first aid kit ready and waiting after you try to tell Nell what she can and can't do!'

He handed his phone to Kensi for her to read their text exchange. She looked back up at him and smirked. "All the evidence is starting to pile up that those two have something going on!" He nodded in agreement and took back the phone to go through the rest of his texts.

The next was from Sam.

'I can't believe she let the mother of my children get that drunk! Tell her we are going to be having a serious discussion about limits on Monday!'

Deeks wasn't even going to respond to that one. The next was from Callen and was one word like Nell's.

'Really?'

He shook his head as he wondered why the guys were texting him. It wasn't like he had been out with the group of women, getting them all liquored up. He supposed he should feel lucky that he hadn't heard from the Admiral. His phone pinged again, he was almost afraid to look. This time it was Meaghan.

'I hear my mom drank your girlfriend under the table. Score one for Team Shelton!'

He chuckled and showed the text to Kensi who frowned. Ok, it was on! Next time they'd see who drank who under what table! Team Blye would be ready, willing and able! Suddenly Kensi's stomach growled and they both laughed. "Feed me Deeks!" She got up off the couch and offered her hand to help him up. They decided to head to the beach and get something from one of the food trucks. Deeks grabbed up Monty's leash and whistled for him. The three of them proceeded to spend the next few hours eating and playing on the beach, enjoying the sun, sand, water and each other.

The first thing Deeks did when they got home was to dig out his music composition book as well as the guitar and violin cases. Paula had told him that Vivid Dreams had agreed to play at the wedding, as Chris and Cindy's wedding present to the two. Knowing the band as well as he did made him feel that it would make it easier to put something together as he was writing for friends, rather than for strangers. He sat on the couch with the book open on the coffee table. Kensi sat on the floor at his feet, watching as he got lost in the music, his hand moving feverishly as he wrote down the notes to what he had already composed in his head while Kensi was napping, as well as some riffs that had come to him on the beach. Once done, he put down the pencil and pulled the violin out of its case. He looked at Kensi nervously as he started to play what he had written so far; worried that she'd hate it. He decided he couldn't watch the disappointment show up on her face so he closed his eyes and played what he had heard in his head.

She sat and watched him, her mouth slightly open as the beautiful music washed over her. When he was done, he looked at her expectantly and she didn't know what to say. "You hated it, didn't you?" he sighed when she couldn't make a sound.

Breaking out of her trance she said "Are you kidding me? Deeks, that was so beautiful! I can't believe you carry that around in that head of yours! If the rest of the song turns out like that, Cassie and Paula are going to be beyond happy! It will totally make theirs one of the most memorable weddings ever, to have such a wonderful original song written and played just for them." She hugged his knees, pleased to see his face light up with that smile that never ceased to make her whole body catch on fire. She stood up and took the violin from his hand and placed it carefully in the case. She reached out her hand and said "I believe we have something to continue from earlier?" His eyes dilated and he grabbed her hand, jumping up from the couch.

"You better believe it!" and tugged her towards the bedroom. She smiled and went willingly.
