He Said He'd Wait

Is This Me?

    Matt POV

 I have had to have a few cold showers, while looking after Kensi.  It has been through no fault of her own.  She is just to naturally beautiful, funny, compassionate and sexy.  

She can now move around on her own, thankfully.  At the moment she is in the kitchen humming along with the song playing.  While she cooks.  This is her thank you, to me for taking care of her.  

I told her she didn't have too, but she insisted.  Kate her room mate tired to push her way into my home, on the pretence that it was for Kensi.  I had to tell her that Kensi and I were fine and she would be better to concentrate more on her studies as her last test result was very poor.

"The last three days have been good Matt, thank you.  You don't prattle on all the time like Kate.  I was able to get all my work done quickly without the interruptions from Lee and Thomas.  They are good guys but need to have things explained to them in a number of ways before they really understand it.  I think Thomas might be Dyslexic, when it comes to numbers" she tells me as she stirs something.  

"He can get tested for free, tell him to go to the student council and they will arrange it" I tell her.

 She starts to plate the food and I stand getting drinks and cutlery.  We eat at the small dinning table.  

"Wow! This curry is good" I say after taking my first mouthful.  She smiles at me, pleased that I like it.  

"The guys like my curry's" she says and I see the shadow of sadness that passes her eyes.  

"Did Max call again today?" I ask 

"Yeah, he really wants me to go out, as we had planned.  I just don't know?" she answers 

"Would you have gone out and seen him even if you hadn't started dating?" I ask and she nods

"So go out as a friend and see how it goes?" I suggest she looks down at her plate.

"He will be filming with that actress, if they are all over each other.  I don't know if I could stand that?" she admits quietly 

"Yeah that might be hard to watch.  Then be straight with him.  You'll come out as a friend and hope he acts accordingly?" I say and let her think about that while we eat.

 Kensi POV

 I took Matt's advice and on my way to visit Max.  I really didn't like the person I was, dithering about, not able to make decisions and needing to be around people.  So, after a good mental slapping, here I am flying down to LA to see Max.  After going through passport control I walk through customs and out of the arrivals door.  

I see Max with his baseball cap and sunglasses and wave.  He pulls me into a hug and kisses the top of my head.

"Thank you" he says.  I hug him back and nod my head.  

"I'm parked in the short stay, come on" he says taking my bag and leading the way outside.  

 Once on our way with Max driving, I relax a little more.  

"So, the shoot has not been going well.  Lucy doesn't seem too have a grasp of the story line yet" he says shaking his head.  

"It only started last week, it probably takes time to get into character" I defend 

"It's what we are paid to do, Kens" he says really frustrated.  

The sun is just going down as we drive "as we are a little behind with the shoot is it alright if we go straight to tonight's location?" he asks
