Tiva short stories

Open up to me.

Tony's POV

I watch the love of my life, she sits in front of me every day. I look into her brown chocolate eyes, they are ever so beautiful, but since she broke up with Ray, she didn't talk to anyone. She closed up, so fast, but I want her to talk too me. "Ziva?" I ask. "Hmm" she says not making eye contact. "Do you wanna come over tonight?" I ask hoping she would say yes. "I don't know Tony." She replies. "Come on, please Ziva." I plead. "Fine Tony I'll go home and get changed after work." She says. "Ok I'll pick you up around 2000?" I ask. "Ok Tony."

**after work**

Ziva's POV

I went home, I'm still really unsure about going over to Tony's, god knows what will happen. I guess I'll give it a shot, I get changed into sweatpants and long sleeve top, I don't want Tony seeing all my scars from what Ray did to me. It's 1955, Tony should be here any moment. Just then there was a knock at my door....

I opened the door a little, good it was just Tony, I still get a bit anxious. "Hi Ziva, you look ahh beautiful." He said, with a bunch on flowers in his hands. "These are for you Ziva." He says. "Thank you Tony, you look good yourself, and thank you Tony, they are beautiful, I'll put them in a vase, please come in." I say. I put them into a vase. "Ready to go Sweetcheeks?" Tony asks. The nickname makes me smile. "Yup." I say. Well we are in the car Tony's hand makes its way to my hand and we intertwine our fingers, in that moment I had forgotten about Ray and what he did, I was happy. We arrived at Tony's house.

We ate pasta for dinner, "Do you wanna watch a movie Zi?" Tony suggests. "Hmm ok" I say. I sit down on the couch, I felt a bit awkward then Tony said, "Come on Sweetcheeks come here, I don't bite."
"Ok" I say still unsure, I lay next to him and he puts his arm around me.

"Ziva can I ask you a question?" Tony asks. "Ok shoot." I say.

Tony's POV

"I'm just going to come out and say it and I want you to be honest, and open up to me, what happened with you and Ray what did he do to you??" I ask calmly. Ziva looked into my eyes and I could see her eyes getting fallen with tears. "Ok Tony but it stays between us! No one can know about this." She says. "Where for do I start? Soon as I moved in with him that's when it all started. He just started abusing me, verbally, calling me worthless, fat, whore, slut and I deserved everything I got in Somalia. Then he started hitting me, punching me in places no one could see, then you started cutting me with one of his knifes, that's why I can't wear short sleeves for a long time. There's scars, then the rape started happening and I keep on trying to escape but couldn't but finally I did. I'm glad I still have you" she said smiling a bit but still crying. "I never knew Ziva, I love you so much, Ah Lo Levad." I say looking into her beautiful eyes. "Love?" She asks. "Love." I confirm. "I love you too Tony" she says shaking. "Hey, I will never hurt you, ok? And I will make sure no one else will ever hurt you, Ah Lo Levad." I say softly kissing her on the lips.
