A Couple Weeks Later
Nick's POV
I got into the office, and Sofía wasn't there yet
"Where's Gutierrez?" I asked McGee and Quinn
"She's not here yet" Quinn said, I was confused Sofía hates being late she used to get mad at me if we were late, maybe she lightened up
I laughed "what's so funny?" McGee said looking at me "nothing" I said deciding to keep what's between me and Sofía between me and her after all I don't even know the full story or her perspective
"What's going on between you and Gutierrez Torres?" Quinn asked "nothing that I'm aware of" I said lying right through my teeth
"Don't lie Torres every time she's in the room you are always looking at her and nothing else" Quinn said
Gibbs came into the room "how do you know Sofía personally Torres?" Gibbs asked
I felt like I was being ambushed again, like when I went to meet her dad and brothers for the first time that was fun (sarcasm)
She walked through the door again "Gutierrez your late again" Gibbs said giving her a teacher type of scolding "I know Gibbs I'm trying I really am" she said seemingly stressed out as she put her stuff down
"You were doing so well during the case before the last so what changed?" Gibbs asked curious
"My level of responsibilities they fluctuate" Sofía said sighing
"Is there anything we can do to help" McGee asked her "give me a lobotomy" she said giving a soft smile
"You would have to go to ducky for that Gutierrez" Gibbs said laughing "I know but I can dream"
We got to work on the next case but part of me really wanted to know what was going on with her, I know Sofía better than anyone here regardless of what they think something isn't right
She got into the elevator alongside me and pushed the buttons so we could go into the parking garage
She softly walked on her heels, I never understood her need for fancy clothes in a place for basic attire but she always looked good so I never complained
She put her stuff in the back of her car and she looked at me
"Everything ok?" She said seemingly concerned that I was staring at her
"Yeah I just got curious as you were never someone who is late, you threw your high heel at me one time because we were late to a dance" I laughed because I nearly got a black eye
She smiled back at me "well I've had to make some improvements so I don't torture everyone but now I need to make some adjustments so I'm not late to work everyday I need my job you know" she laughing
"Or you could model that is always an option" I said smiling and walking to my car and going home
