CHAPTER 7: TALKING ABOUT FEARS OF A SECOND DATE

OSP...
THE BULLPEN...
1300 HOURS...

"Hey, who is supposed to get lunch today..."

Deeks asked looking up and everyone looked at him.

"...What? I can hear Kensi's stomach growling from here." He joked. "I'll go." Kensi volunteered. "Want me to come, Kens?" Deeks asked. "No, I know what you like. I'll be back soon." Kensi said getting up, grabbing her jacket and keys before leaving.

Deeks watched Kensi leave and was a little worried, because Kensi had not responded to his joke with the usual banter, then turned to Callen and Sam.

"I asked Kensi out for a second date, but she seemed kind of anxious. Our first date was great, but why is Kensi so anxious about going on a second date..."

Deeks inquired.

"...Was it something I said?" Deeks asked. "No, when Kensi explained her reason the last time to us...Dom was still part of the team." Callen explained.

"Oh...I know she doesn't do well on second dates, but I never understood why." Deeks told them. "Deeks, what she said the last time we asked her about why she didn't like second dates she told us...

'Look you guys I am the best first date girl in town. I mean I bring my a game. Funny,flirty, charming, spontanous, tasteful.'

So G. asked her what went wrong on the second date and she told us...

'Second date antsy, bored, distant, impaient, irritable.'

She never lets anyone past her second date rule, but I think you can get passed it. There has been a 'thing' between you two since you met. " Sam explained.

"Wow, you're actually giving me your blessing to date, Kensi?" Deeks asked in surprise.

"Remember if you hurt her...we will not hesitate to kill you and we know someone who can help and leave no forensic evidence." Sam warned.

"Believe me, I don't have plans to hurt her." Deeks told them with a smile.

It was a few minutes later when Kensi returned and Deeks saw the same look on her face that she had before she had left.

Kensi gave Callen and Sam their food, before putting the fish taco on Deeks' desk. Before Kensi could head back to her own desk Deeks put his hand over hers and Kensi looked at him.

"What's wrong, Kens?" Deeks asked in concern. "Nothing, why do you ask?" Kensi lied. "Let's find somewhere to talk." Deeks suggested getting up from his desk.

Then picking up his lunch, Kensi walked with him until they found themselves in the Armory.

THE ARMORY...

"...Kens, please tell me what's wrong. Did I do something?" Deeks asked standing in front of her and Kensi looked at him in shock that he would suggest that.

"No, what makes you think something is wrong?" Kensi asked. "Well, I asked about lunch and joked about hearing your stomach growling...you just volunteered to go get lunch and didn't even try to banter with me. That's a pretty big clue right there and the look on your face, I know you're worried about something." Deeks responded.

"I don't know if we should go on this second date, Marty, I'm scared." Kensi confessed biting her lip. "Why? Because on second dates you're antsy, bored, distant, impaient and irritable?" Marty questioned and Kensi narrowed her eyes at him.

"Did Sam and Callen tell you that?" Kensi demanded.

"Yes, I was curious and I knew if I asked you...you would only get more anxious about a second date with me. What's the difference between the times we hung out after work as best friends and being in an actual relationship?" Marty asked.

"Because I'm still scared of losing you, okay? Like I lost my dad or that you will leave like...like Jack did." Kensi replied fighting back tears and looking at the ground.

"Hey...I already promised I wouldn't try to get myself killed. Plus we used to hang out all the time after work for burgers and beers, America's Next Top Model, TItanic...that is no different the what we are doing right now. Princess, I told you that we will take it one date at a time." Marty reminded her, putting a finger under her chin and raising her face so she was looking him in the eye.

"There is a difference Marty...we finally admitted there is a 'thing' between us and that changes everything." Kensi informed him. "There is a plus to admitting there is something between us..."

Marty began with a smile and Kensi just continued to look at him.

"...We can kiss and not have to worry if the other person feels the same way. I love you, Kensi. I have loved you since we me and nothing will change how I feel, okay? I have no plans on leaving you or hurting you..unless that is what you are planning to do. But why would you want to leave me and not experiance all this?" Marty joked waving a hand up and down his body and finally Kensi gave a small laugh.

"You're suck a dork, Deeks." She said lightly punching his shoulder. "But you wouldn't want me any other way, because if I was we wouldn't be together...would we?" Marty teased.

"Eh, don't be so sure of that, Deeks." Kensi shot back with a grin.

"That's my girl, but you do know you would have wanted me eventually." Marty joked. "Your girl, huh? That doesn't sound so bad. I have a question though..." Kensi started. "What's that?" Marty said interupting her.

"That wasn't my question. Why didn't you want to come into my house after our first date? You know Monty is allowed in my house." Kensi said and Marty started to look uncomfortable.

"I wanted to, believe me I really wanted to come in...but I wanted to take things slow and prove that just because we're dating now we don't have to y-you know on the first date. I was being a gentlemen." Marty told her as his smile faltered a little bit.

"You...being a gentleman..."Kensi teased and then decided to see how much she could get to him.

"...Just because we're dating I know what?" Kensi teased seeing him sqirm. "You know what I'm talking about, Kensi and you know Hetty has cameras all over the place so I'm not going to say it. Because the moment I do...someone will come in. Do you feel better?" Marty asked trying to change the subject.

"Yeah, thanks, Marty. How about we save our second date for Saturday?" Kensi suggested.

"What do you have in mind for our second date, Agent Blye?" Marty asked. "Not telling...it's a surprise." Kensi said and walked out of the Armory with a smile on her face.

"Kensi...come on. Kensi, you know you can't keep a secret from me!" Marty called as he followed her.
