Accidentally In Love (NCIS: LA Densi Fanfiction)

Chapter 12- Party

Chapter 12- Party

  *Deeks' POV*

The party was being held in Fernando and Katalina Gomez's back yard. They had a swing set, pool, three large grills, and a gazebo.

"Wow! Beautiful backyard!" Kensi whispered as we walked in. I could tell she was genuinely impressed instead of playing a character.

"Welcome!" said a young Hispanic woman. She was holding a smiling infant. "I'm Katalina, my husband, Fernando is at the grill, and this is our new daughter, Josephine."

"Awww she is adorable! How old is she?" Kensi asked, softly grabbing the tiny, outstretched hand of the baby.

"Six weeks." Katalina smiled.

"So cute! Oh, my name is Josie, we just moved in a few houses down. This is my husband Matthew." Kensi said, touching my arm.

"Nice to meet you." I said, nodding at her.

"The men are all drinking beer by the grill." Winked Katalina.

"You good?" I asked Kensi, out of habit when I leave her alone.

"Yeah I'm feeling much better now." she played it off subtly.

I squeezed her hand, and went to join the other men.

*^*^*^*

"And that is why David over here is sleeping on the couch for the next year." laughed Riley Barkener, elbowing David Herold in the ribs.

All the men were sitting around the grill in lawn chairs. I was listening, hoping that no one would want to hear any stories from the new guy.

"So, um, Matthew right?" A guy I recognised as Fernando Gomez, the host of the party.

'Shit...'I thought. "That's me."

"How did you meet your wife?" He said.

All the other men nodded in anticipation.

"Well, I met her at the strip club where she worked. I caught her looking over every few minutes, so I paid her for an hour for some alone time. She took me into the Champagne Room, and we ended up falling in love. I also got an extra 10 minutes, free of charge." I smirked.

"A-are you serious?" David Herold asked, his mouth wide open.

"Nah I'm just kidding! No our relationship is much more complicated than that..."

"Well do tell then! Now everyone is interested." Fernando urged.

I thought back to the cover story, where we dated all through high school and were engaged in college, and our wedding was put off a few years due to money issues. It just didn't seem real though. I decided to improvise.

"I met Josie at a MMA gym. We saw each other there a few times, and then suddenly I find her in my house 'cause she was dating my roommate. That's when we first hit it off. Weeks later, I found out that we were co-workers after I got a promotion. We were best friends for awhile, but we really didn't start dating for awhile because of her overprotective older brothers that also worked in our division. After 4 years together, I proposed, we got married at the courthouse, and moved into our first house." I ended.

"That's cool." David nodded, obviously disappointed that Kensi wasn't a stripper.

"You got out of the friend zone though!" Fernando raised his glass. "That's big stuff, my friend."

"You have no idea." I muttered. We toasted, and the small talk continued.

Nothing about sleeper agents popped up among the hours of chatter, not that it would. I hoped Kensi was getting more gossip than how kinky Lauren Lee is when she is drunk, or why the Bobcats are the worst basketball team in the NBA.
