SUMMARY:

Kensi and Deeks are having a movie night at his apartment, he tells her something before she leaves. What does Deeks tell her and what will happen?

CHAPTER 3: TIME OR TRUTH

TWO MONTHS LATER...

FRIDAY NIGHT...

It had been two months since Deeks had gone back to the LAPD, new partners for Kensi had come and gone, but none stayed more then a few days or a week at the most.

She searched for greener pastures

but never could forget
What he whispered when she left

'I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things to
So we're really not that different, me and you.'

Kensi had gone out with other guys, but it se4emed her mind was always on Deeks...she ened up comparing the men to Deeks and none of them seemed to compare.

She was in love with Deeks, she had known for a long timeand no matter how she tried to fight it...

She couldn't anymore because she missed him and the time they spent together.

Finally after takin a relaxing bath, trying rocky road ice cream, reality tv and even Titanic...

Kensi grabbed her keys and cell phone heading out the door.

DEEKS APARTMENT...

It had hurt when Kensi had rejected him, he had gone out with other women trying to forget her...but in the end he couldn't.

No other woman could compare to Kensi Marie Blye. He had fallen in love with her the day he met her three years earlier.

Deeks was brought out of his thoughts, when Monty ran to the door whining and barking excitedly.

He then knew who it was at the door before there was a knock and sure enough when he opened it there stood...

Kensi Marie Blye

Was it time or was it truth?
Maybe both led her back to his door
and as the tears fell at his feet
She didn't say I love you,
What she said meant even more

'I laugh, I love, I hope, I try
I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry
And I know you do the same things too
So we're really not that different me and you.'

"What are you doing here, Kens?" Deeks asked with sadness in his voice, he could see the tears running down her face and wanted nothing more then to wipe them away.

What held him back was the fact that she had rejected him two months ago.

"I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry and I know you do the same things to so we're really not that different me and you.

Deeks, I'm sorry, I sould have listened to my heart, but I'm just scared of losing you if something happened. These last two months of us not talking have been torture. There is no one that can compare to you." Kensi stated letting the tears fall freely down her face and then looked at the ground now afraid he would reject her.

"Kens..."

He said softly reaching out to life her face so she was looking him in the eyes.

"...I'm scared to, but if we get into a relationship or anything. We're in it together. A few months ago you were my best friend and I couldn't stop myself from telling you how I felt." Deeks told her and Kensi felt sadness.

"I guess it took my longer to finally admit to myself that there was a 'thing' between us Deeks." Kensi said looking at him intently. "Was? You don't feel the same anymore?" Deeks asked with uncertanity in his voice.

"Do you?" Kensi countered. "Okay, we really need to workon not answering questions with other questions. Come on in, Kensi. Monty has missed you." Deeks said stepping back to let her into his apartment.

"Did you miss me?" Kensi asked. "Yeah, Kens, I did alot. I couldn't watch America's Next Top Model or one of your other shows without thinking of you. Want a beer?" Deeks inquired.

"Sure." Kensi said following him to the kitchen and for a moment it was as though nothing had changed.

"You didn't answer my question." Deeks pointed out. "What question?" Kensi asked and Deeks almost smiled.

"There you go again answering a question with a question. You said there WAS a 'thing' between us...does that mean you don't feel it anymore?" Deeks asked and felt his heart sink again when Kensi shrugged.

"I don't know, Deeks. We haven't spoken in two months, as hard as I tried to forget you...I couldn't and it made me realize that sometime during our partnership I fell in love with you." Kensi confessed not able to look at him.

"So you are in love with me? What was it...my charm or my good looks?" Deeks joked with a grin.

"Shut it, Deeks." Kensi told him with a light punch to the shoulder and a smile of her own.

"So where do we go from here?" Deeks asked. "I bet you couldn't get past one date with me." Kensi challenged still smiling.

"Agent Blye, are you asking me out on a date?" Deeks shot back. "Maybe, so what do you say?" Kensi asked a little afriad. "I think I can get past your challenge." Deeks replied with a laugh and Kensi rolled her eyes as they both smiled the first real smile in two months.
