A Life of Our Own

Prologue

I was looking in the mirror, adjusting myself with my French tipped fingers, then looked down at my French tipped toes and slid them into my gold Jack Roger Sandals. I looked back up and started taking a French braid out of my hair. I wanted my hair to have the perfect amount of wave. I then turned and picked up the pearl earrings that were sitting on the table and put them into my ears. Then I took a step back and looked at myself. My dress was a white linen, spaghetti strap, knee length dress. It was very form fitting at the top, then went out a little at the waist to the knees. I took a deep breath, and let all the nerves fly away.

Deeks was standing in front of a mirror, also. He was adjusting his white button up shirt so that it showed just the right amount of chest. His hair was a little damp from where he had gone surfing that morning. He smelled like salt water and pine trees from his cologne. He had on khakis and some old flip flops he found in his closet. He messed with his hair a little, then told himself,

"Today begins forever."

The waves were crashing on the shore of the Los Angeles Beach that morning. Michelle, Talia, and Cam were with me, while Sam and Callen were with Deeks. Cam was in a soft pink dress that was knee length and had on little white Jack Rogers.

"Cam, can you go to Dad and get my camera, I wanna take some shots of Kensi before the wedding."

"Yes, Mom." Cam said, skipping outside of Kensi's room over to Deeks'. Cam was outside of Deeks' room and knocked on the door. Sam answered it,

"Cam! What are you doing here?"

"Mom wanted me to get the camera from you."

"Here you go, you look beautiful baby girl."
He said while kissing her on the head.
"Now go back to Kensi's room." Then Deeks butted in,

"Hold on a min. Cam." Cam stopped and turned to face Deeks. Deeks squatted and handed Cam a little box.

"What's this?" Cam asked.

"Cam, can you give this to Kensi when you go back?"

"Sure thing, Deeks." Cam said while opening the box.

"Deeks, that's so pretty! Kensi is going to love it!" Callen and Sam went over to see what all the commotion was.

"Wow, Deeks." Callen said.

"Spares no expense for his lady." Sam said.

"Cam. Go give that to Kensi now."

"Ok, Deeks." She said skipping back to Kensi's room.

......................................................................

Cam got back to my room and tapped on my shoulder. As I turned around,

"Kensi,"

"Yes, Cam?" I said smiling.

"Here you go, it's from Deeks, he asked me to give it to you. Here's the camera mom." She said handing both of us what was ours.

"Oh my gosh," I said putting my hand over my mouth in awe.

"Wow, Deeks did good with that." Talia said. It was a silver Pandora bracelet. It's charms included a little hand gun, a paw print for Monty, a heart for our love with "2.24.18 finally forever" engraved in it, a K charm, and a United States Marine charm for my father. I was so taken by the gesture that I started to tear a little bit. Michelle had seen my reaction, and snapped a few pics on her phone and sent it to Sam to show to Deeks.
