NCIS: The Unexpected Greeting (Tiva Love Fan Fiction) ON HOLD

Part 5

Tony's POV

-- 

     I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw Ziva, unexpectedly in my apartment.

"Hah... You must have picked the lock..." I said with smooth in my voice. She smiled. I stared at her in awe.

"Ziva..." I called. She walked towards me.

"What? Not happy to see me?" she asked.

"Uh.. It's not that... I'm just..." I chuckled. "Wow.." I stared at her.

     "I arrived couple hours ago... I came back to..." she paused, staring at me. I lifted my hands to her waists. She stared at me like the time where she buried her 'I Will'.

She lifted her hands to my temple then to my cheeks. We leaned until our foreheads touched. We posed there for minutes, enjoying the moment.

     "I missed you, Ziva.." I confessed. She smiled. "I can tell.." she said as she ran her fingers to my hair. "I missed you too, Tony.." she added as she leaned and our lips met into a passionate kiss.

This is different than the one at the airport. And this is longer than before. I lifted my left hand to the back of her head to deepen the kiss.

Our lips moved in sync. She moved her arms around my neck. I held her tight. It's been a long time. My 'sweetcheeks' is back.

We stopped for air. Forehead's still touching.

"I'm tired.." she complained.

"I thought my ninja will never get tired?" I furrowed.

"We're humans, Tony.." she clarified. I chuckled.

"Guess you changed a bit." I said. She chuckled. "Only a bit, Tony?"

"So... You're staying here? In DC?" I asked. I just received a sigh from her. "I wish..."

"You're going back to Israel?" I asked as I leaned back from the forehead touching, still holding her. She just stared at me.

"Oh.." I sighed. "Okay.."

But seconds later, she chuckled.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"I'm going to stay here, Tony." she said. I furrowed, not believing in what she said.

"You're joking right?" I asked. She just smiled.

"Kidding me.." I said as she grinned.

"Sweetcheeks?" I called.

"You don't believe me? Well, I must head off..." she said as she moved away. I held her hand to stop. We stared.

"Stay." I said with smooth in my voice. She walked towards me.

"Don't worry, Tony..." she paused for a second. "I'm staying.."

We stared. Then we burst into laughter.

"How about you make yourself comfortable while I change my clothes?" I suggested.

She stared at me playfully. "Okay.."

She let go and went to her bag. I walked going to the bedroom. I changed my clothes into a plain t-shirt and jogging pants.

..

I walked out the room to see Ziva with newly changed clothes, sat on the couch.

"Tony.." she called.

"Yes, sweetcheeks?" I responded as I sat next to her, facing her.

"How's everyone?" she asked.

"Well... Let's start with Gibbs, who still has the same routine. The headslap and the Gibbs stare, never gets old." I paused as Ziva smiled. "And Mcgee... With his Delilah... Has a better love story..."

"Better love story, huh?" she chuckled. I stared at her for a second and continued. "Abby, same as usual. The happy goth Abby.. Well Palmer, same old Autopsy Gremlin. And Ducky, talking to the dead, never gets old for him." I paused. I stared at the floor with my pouty face.

"And... Bishop, well... Newest member of the team... Socially awkward.. Always eating with her favorite food." I finished with emotion.

     "So why's the sad face of yours?" she asked. I stared at her, "No one really mentions your name.." I paused. "It's like... You're dead.."

Ziva held my hand and looked at me with sympathy. "I'm here, Tony.. Don't worry.."

She leaned and kissed my cheek.

"Thank you, Ziva." I thanked. She smiled. I intertwined my hands with hers.

     A moment of silence.

"You can take my bed." I said.

"No, you can take the bed, I'm going to take the couch." Ziva said.

"I'll take the couch, you take the bed."

"No! I'll take the couch!"

"You take the bed."

     "No." we said in unison.

"Do we really need to fight about the bed and the couch?" she asked.

"Why don't you take the bed?" I asked.

"I know you'll complain about your back, Tony. Why can't you just take the bed?"

"True gentleman takes the couch for the lady."

     We stared there in silence.

"Why can't we just... share the bed?" I suggested. She raised her eyebrows, surprised.

..

"See it's fair!" Ziva said while lying down on the floor, together.

"You said.." I replied.

A/N: Now Ziva David is back in our story.. (just in the story *cries*)

     Can I just have a fact about me?

     I don't really like putting some kissing scenes. But for the sake of my plan and fandom, I will sacrifice for it. I'm trying to adjust myself.

Anyways!

     What do you think?
