There's a feeling igniting her entire body, one that's familiar, but at the same time, brand new. Thinking about it makes her head hurt.
So she snuggles deeper into her boyfriend's wide chest. The skin contact causes more feelings to explode, which is strange because she's touched him in way less innocent ways before…
They're looking up at the stars from the bed of his truck. They have blankets and pillows and they're all sprawled out back there. Everything is beautiful.
There comes a point where no one's even looking at the stars anymore. Deeks is eating her up with his eyes, thinking that they shine brighter than any of the stars he's supposed to be gazing. Kensi is looking back at him, at first trying not to blush under the loving desire (but not lust) in his eyes. But soon enough, its because she's lost in them.
That's when it sinks in.
She's never had a good love story. Her teenage years were… dark, obviously. No great love stories there. And Jack, well, you know how that went. But now, with Marty Deeks? Her first 100% true love story.
So what is that feeling?
Its a feeling of youth. Its unfamiliar because this feeling is new to her. She's feeling like she's 17 again. So blindly in love with a man who so desperately loves her back. When she was 17, her life was never even close to what this looked like. And now she has it. She feels young and alive and finally, it all makes perfect sense.
She's getting something she lost. Twice. Lost youth, lost a love.
Now she has both.
Marty Deeks can pretty much give her the world. Now what's she going to give to him?
