Hi guys.
This is my first story so I'm a little scared.
Please give me feedback, both critics and good feedbacks
Even though it was Monday morning, Abby was on top of the world. After Ziva unique confessing her feelings on Friday they had gone back to Abby's place and talked long into the night. They'd spent the rest of the weekend exploring and discovering new things about each other.This looked to be the start of something great. Abby wished they hadn't had to come to work this morning but she hooed Ziva would be able to come down and see her soon.
Ziva sauntered into the bullpen, unusually the last to arrive. Tony's eyes widened as he saw her. Tim looked faintly amused. Gibbs went for more direct action. "Ziva! My office now!" She dropped her bag on her desk and followed Gibbs into the elevator slightly confused. As soon as it started to move, Gibbs hit the emergency stop. "So you've decided that rule twelve doesn't apply with Abby, huh?"
"How..."Ziva stuttered
"Do ya think I've never seen her calling card before, Ziva? You shoulda thought of that before you came in looking like that" Ziva paled and Gibbs took pity on her. "If it makes you both happy, so be it but keep it out of the office. I don't need to walk in on anything. Oh, and if you hurt her, I will hunt you down. Understood?"
"Understood!"
"Now get back to work." Gibbs switched the elevator back on, letting Ziva out on the MTAC level, then riding down to Abby's lab.
Abby spun around in her chair as Gibbs entered "Hey Gibbs! I don't have anything for you yet and what, no Caf-pow?"
"So you and Ziva?" Gibbs quipped.
"Woh! That was quick. Your gut isn't that good. How'd you know?" Abby queried, semmingly unfazed.
"Your girl's not shy Abby. I take it you haven't seen her so far thix morning. She's wearing your marks like a badge of honour. At least Kate tried to hide it. She wore turtleneeks everyday for two weeks not that it did much good."
"Ziva went for a run then back to her place this morning sono I haven't seen her. Although I'm intrigued now." Abby smirked.
"I'll tell you what I told her. If it makes you both happy, so be it but keep it out of the office. I don't need to walk in on anything. Don't hurt hrr Abs. Understood?"
?You think I'll hurther?"
"Not intentionally but be careful. She's more fragile than appears."
"I'll be careful and we'll keep it out of the office." Gibbs gave Abby a kiss on the cheek and headed back to the bullpen. "I'll send your girl down with Caf-pow once we've done a coffee run."
A hundred watt smile lit up Abby's face as the contemplated the twin joys of Ziva and Caf-pow. A wicked thought crossed her mind as she considered a way to combine the two after work.
Ziva walked down into the bullpen with her confidence dented a bit by how quickly Gibbs had picked up that she and Abby were together. Looking at Tony and Tim she began to wish her chat with Gibbs had taken longer.
"So Abby claimed you as her own then. Don't try to deny it Ziva, we've all seen those marks before. Hell Gibbs only needed to glance to know." Tony enjoyed being able to tease Ziva. "So did Gibbs give his concent or did he warn you off his girl?"
"What Gibbs and I discussed is none of you're business Tony." Ziva retorted, but both his and Gibbscomments about the marks Abby hadleft on her niggled in the back of her mind.
"I guess your rant had a positive effect hey Ziva." Tim joined in with the teasing. Ziva blinked and then glared at Tim trying to shut him up.
"Rant? McGee spill." Tony jumped on the comment.
"Oh so Ziva just decided to let Abby know how she felt, it obviously did the trick."
"So you made the first move? Nice."
Ziva knew she would get a few comments this morning but had not beenprepared for this.
"That looks to be particularly fine example of Abby's mark Ziva. I don't think I've ever seen ones that clear." At the still slight look of confusion in Ziva's eyes Tony continued.
"I guess you didn't reslise this is standard practice for Abby huh? The little bat liked to bite and if you hang around with her long enough you get to see the evidence of it." Tony shut up quickly sensing the presence of his boss just before he earnt himself another headslap.
Gibbs strode into the bullpen carrying coffee and Caf-pow. He stopped in front of Ziva's desk and handed her the chilled beverage. "Go give your girl her fix. Don't spend all day down there we have work to do."
Ziva headed down to the lab Caf-pow in hand. As she entered her new lover's domain Abby turned round. "Wow! Oh wow!" Abby was almost speechless, Ziva had chosen to wear a top with a deep v-neck which perfectly showed off the trail of love bites which flowed from her neck, down her chest and disappeared under her shirt, clearly continuing. "Gibbs said you weren't shy and he wasn't wrong."
"I did not expect it to be so obvious where the marks had come from." Ziva stated confused. "Gibbs, Tony, McGee, they only needed a glance to know it was you."
"Well they've seen the marks before Ziva. I guess you could say they're my calling card."
"I gathered that." Ziva said sadly.
"Hey! They've seen them on Kate, no one else. You knew we were together. I'm not saying no one else has ever had those marks but not for a long time."
"But they were so..."
"Ziva, Kate was nowhere near as confident as you in that way. She wore turtlenecks for two weeks. The team knew we had got together but she didn't dare show the signs of our love. Gibbs patience wore out in the end and he ordered them down to the gym for training. Kate's gym gear didn't exactly cover much. Tony and Tim had a field day, she was so embarrassed. That's why they remembered. Wait here." With that Abby headed out of ver lab.
"Abby?" Ziva called but remained where she was.
Abby stormed into the bullpen and planted herself firmly in front of Tony's desk. Tony visibly paled as he took in the furious sight before him.
"Tony! Teasing her because she has the audacity to come into work looking like that, cool. Making her think she is one in a long line of... So not cool! Do you want to destroy this before it has even begun? Don't you want us to be happy?"
"Woh Abby, I was just joking. I didn't think she'd take it to heart. Of course l want you both to be happy. l'll appoIogise to Ziva. I'll make it clear l was just talking about Kate." Tony tried to calm the woman in front of him before she did him serious harm.
"See that you do!" Abby quipped as she headed back to the elevator. "Oh and Tim, don't think I'm happy with you right now either." McGee gulped as Abby passed him.
Abby walked back into her lab to see Ziva where she'd left her. She put her arms around Ziva's waist pulling her close and kissed her passionately. "Are we okay? I don't want this ruined by a misunderstanding." Abby asked cautiously.
"We are fine Abby. I just did not like the thought of you being with someone else."
"I'm all yours now Ziva. We can continue this tonight but for now I think we both need to get back to work." With one final kiss Abby encouraged Ziva out the door.
Back up in the bullpen, Tony was immediately in grovelling mode with Ziva. He'd realised that separately Abby and Ziva could cause him serious harm, but together and angry he was a dead man. "I'm sorry Ziva. I've only seen those marks once before but they are definitely memorable. Want to let us know just how far down they go?" Forgetting himself momentarily Tony wondered at the smirk on Ziva's face until the headslap he recieved wiped all thoughts from his head.
"Back to work, all of you!"
"Yes Boss." Looked like the diversion was over and it was back to business as usual
