Chapter 5 - The weekend
Friday
'Do you think something's going on with Tony?' Tim McGee asked Abby Scuito as they sat down at Shaw's Bar. Abbey had suggested a drink after work as they had closed yet another technical case but Tony had declined.
'Yeah I noticed he seemed a little different today' said Abby.
'Practically no flirting' said Tim. 'And that witness was a very beautiful woman. Young too.'
'Does Delilah know you flirt with witnesses?' asked Abby, jokingly.
'Not me. Tony. And he didn't. Not even a hint. Didn't comment on her clothes or hair. Very professional the whole time. Plus turning down your invitation for drinks? He loves Shaw Bar.'
'That is true' said Abby. 'Maybe he's met someone' she suggested.
'If Tony had met someone he would be bragging about every detail to us' said Tim.
'Probably true' agreed Abby.
Over at Ziva's apartment, two people were bust undressing each other as they had a passionate make out session on the sofa.
'Perhaps go a little slower than last night' said Ziva as Tony placed kisses down her neck. He pulled away to look at her.
'I don't recall hearing any complaints last night' he said.
'That is not what I meant' said Ziva, kissing him. 'Just… make it last longer.' Tony grinned.
'As you wish' he said before carrying Ziva to the bedroom.
Saturday
The next morning Ziva woke up in much the same way she had done the day before; naked in bed with Tony DiNozzo next to her. She smiled to herself as she rolled over at how good it felt. Her feelings for Tony had been bubbling away underneath the surface for some time now, and Ziva was glad they had crossed the line. She just hoped that nothing would ruin it. She couldn't face the idea of not having Tony in her life.
'Morning sweet cheeks' said Tony sleepily.
'Morning.'
'How did you sleep?'
Ziva grinned. 'Very well. You?'
'I slept well too' replied Tony, also grinning. 'Plans for today?' he asked.
'Temple and some errands' said Ziva.
Tony snaked an arm around Ziva's body, pulling her closer.
'You fancy having sex before temple?' he suggested, a twinkle in his eye. Ziva laughed and rolled on top of Tony.
Tony loved having sex with Ziva. Well, Tony loved having sex with any beautiful woman. Had done for a while but with Ziva it was something else. The way she responded to his touch, the noises she made, the confidence that she just seemed to exude, not to mention how she made him feel.
He had imagined what it would be like to sleep with Ziva David more than once. His imagination hadn't come close.
For Ziva, Saturday morning was her normal Saturday morning; temple followed by errands. Since starting her job at The Alice Edwards Foundation, she was able to have a weekly routine. It was something that Ziva began to relish and found the quality of her life had improved since leaving NCIS. Her mental health had improved, with less anxiety, stress and bouts of very mild depression. Ziva was able to cook more, eating less processed foods and had a proper exercise routine that included swimming and dancing, two things she had begun to miss. She had even made new friends through going to temple every week.
Ziva unlocked her apartment door and dumped the groceries she had just bought on the kitchen counter. Her phone buzzed. A message from Tony.
When you're done with your boring errands come over to mine.
Ziva laughed at the message as she put her groceries away. The last couple of days had been some of the best for her and she didn't want it to end.
When Ziva went to temple, Tony had reluctantly returned to his apartment. Ziva had attempted to convince Tony to come with her but he declined. Their relationship, whatever it was, was new and he didn't want to risk exposing it to people just right now. He wasn't sure he was the religious kinda guy anyway.
So Tony went home and played video games for the next few hours. Once upon a time he scoffed at the geeky pastime but after working with Tim 'Elflord' McGee for a decade, Tony had now passed the novice noob status and was relatively decent.
There was a knock at the door. Tony paused the game and answered it. Standing on the other side was Ziva.
'Hi' she said, smiling.
'Hey' he replied, smiling. 'Come on in.'
Tony placed soft kisses along Ziva's back. It was almost 6 pm and they had just finished having sex for the umpteenth time, and showed no sign of slowing down.
'You OK?' he asked.
'Yes. Why do you ask?'
'You're seem quiet.'
'Just enjoying the moment.' Ziva rolled on to her back, facing Tony. 'Are you OK?'
'Never been better' he replied, leaning forward to kiss the naked woman underneath her.
'You know, we are going to have to have a conversation about this at some point' said Ziva.
'Oh yeah?'
'When do you think we should have it?' she asked, hoping she didn't sound too anxious or eager.
Tony looked at Ziva. She was right, of course. There was a conversation they did need to have but did it have to be right now?
'I think it's something future Tony and future Ziva can deal with.'
'OK' agreed Ziva. 'So what are we going to do instead?'
'I have a few ideas' said Tony, making Ziva laugh.
Sunday
What do you think they did?
Once again apologies for taking so long over this story. I simply haven't had the motivation to write. It's one reason why this chapter is shorter that originally planned.
Thank you for reading this story and anything else I've written. It means a lot.
