NCIS ~ I Will Love You Thru Everything

chapter 4

Tony took the stairs three at a time. he reallllly needed to talk to Ziva!

He tore thru the parking garage looking for her vehicle. He heard an engine rev behind him and turned. It was Ziva, driving past him. "ZI!" he banged on her window. Hesitantly, she rolled it down. "Ziva, about earlier...I didnt mean to embarass-" "No Tony it was my fault." she interrupted. Then they both began to speak at the same time, apologizing and rambling together. They both awkwardly stopped talking at the same time. Ziva bit her lip and looked away. "I am sorry Tony. I should get home." Tony hesitated, not sure what to say but wanting to say it anyway. "Ummm..alright. I just - " ..Ziva looked expectantly at him. "Yes?" ..Tony cleared his throat and licked his lips. "nevermind..i just wanted to..uh nevermind" he finished. Ziva looked at him with confusion filled eyes. He was so handsome. Little did she know, Tony was looking at her, and thinking "tell her man. You'll never get a better chance!" Ziva began to roll the window up and tell Tony goodnight, but before she got the window a quarter of the way up, Tony couldnt help himself. He reached through the window and held her face. He kissed her. Ziva was so shocked. Her eyes went wide for a second before they closed. She kissed him right back. The kiss lasted until they both ran out of air. Tony desperately took a breath and reached for her once more, but stopped when he saw her face. Ziva was white with shock but rapidly turning bright pink. "Ziva, I am so sorry. I dont know what came over me." he apologized. Ziva said nothing but her mind was filled with shocked thoughts. "how many times have I imagined kissing him?" she thought to herself. " Here he is, she thought, "tell him how you feel. SHOW him how you feel." Her face stayed perfectly still. "Tony, I do not think this is a good idea. This will not..this is...I do not know what to think." The kiss had taken her heart to places she did not know existed. She didnt know whether to dare hope he might actually have feelings for her, or just assume that it was heat of the moment, rushed, impulsive.
