Chapter 13 - Dance

Hetty's pov

"What could be the harm Leon?", I challenged to his disagreements.

"It's a waste of time and money", he replied irritably down the phone.

"This has been a tough year for them Leon, this is what is needed to lift all their spirits", I tried once more.

"Fine, but I will have no part in this", Leon replied with a sigh of defeat, "I have a feeling that Callen and Kensi wont be as enthusiastic about this as your hoping Henrietta".

"Ohh, i'm sure they will come around, you leave that to me Leon, I assume you will be attending?", I questioned.

"I'll have to get a babysitter, but Jackie and I will be there", He confirmed with yet another sigh.

"Splendid, I shall keep you updated. Goodbye, Leon", I finished.

"Goodbye Hetty", he replied, putting down the phone as I did the same.

After 1 hour on the phone with Director Vance I have persuaded him to allow us to hold a dance for everyone working here as a reward for all their hard work this eventful year. With the fragrant smells errupting from my teapot, I could tell that my fresh morning lemongrass tea had finished brewing. I poured myself a cup and took small sips, savouring its refreshing taste as I caught up on my paperwork and waited for the team to arrive. At promptly 9.05 Callen strolled through the door and sat down at his desk, shortly followed by Nell and Eric who smiled in my direction before making their way to ops. By 9.25 the whole team had arrived including Deeks who, for once, had managed to get himself to work on time. I called Eric and Nell down from ops then made my way over to them to inform them about the dance later on this evening.

"Morning Hetty, what's up?", Kensi asked, causing the rest of the team to look up from their various gadgets as Eric and Nell joined us.

"Good morning Ms Blye", I replied, "I would just like to inform you all that we will be holding a dance tonight at the courtyard hotel as a reward for all your hard work this year, I expect you all to be there with your dates at 7pm".

As soon as the words left my mouth an uproar of protests came from every member of the team but I cut them off immediately.

"No buts, I expect you all to be their, no excuses", I interrupted firmly.

"Hetty, who are we supposed to go with? We can't find dates with clearence on this short notice!", questioned Mr Deeks.

"Well I assume that Mr Hanna will be bringing along Michelle. Callen, I am sure that Ms Summerskill would be delighted to join you if you were to give her a call. And Mr Deeks, Ms Blye, you will be accompanying each other, as will you two", I finished pointing over to Eric and Nell who both glanced at the floor with a faint blush on their cheeks. Horror crossed the faces of my two youngest field agents.

"You mean I have to take Deeks to a dance as my DATE?!", Kensi exclaimed.

"Hey, I'm not crazy about the idea either Fern", smirked Deeks whilst I looked on in amusement.

"I'm sure you will get along just fine", I replied, walking back to my desk, "Now I want all of this weeks paperwork on my desk by the end if the day, you may leave at 4pm if nothing comes up, to prepare yourself for later tonight".

Time flew by and with no open cases at 4pm everyone made their way home to get ready for the dance. Kensi and Deeks were the last to leave, still bickering over who was going to drive. I too decided to leave early and made my way home around 4.30.

Kensi's pov

Everone had just left the mission and we both agreed that he would pick me up at 6.15 for the dance. I could sense that no-one was looking forward to this but as it got closer I could feel my excitement building up. I rushed home and jumped in the shower and grabbed myself a twinkie from my stash under the sink. After my snack I glanced at the clock and seeing that it was nearly 5.30 I headed into my bedroom to do my hair and make up. I quickly blow-dryed my hair and left it in it's natural curls, to frame my face. I then applied subtle make up, by which point it was 6pm and i needed to chose an outfit. I spent the next 10 minutes trying on dress after dress then deciding I didn't like it. I only had 3 more dresses left in my closet so i grabbed the 1st one, slipped it on and looked in the mirror. It was a strapless floor length black gown with a slit up the the side that went to my mid thigh. I'd brought it a few years ago to go to a friends wedding but never got the chance to wear it because I got held up with a case. As I stood there looking at the dress in the mirror I heard the doorbell go and knew immediately that it was Deeks here to pick me up. I wasn't quite ready yet so he will have to come in and wait. I walked over to the door to let him in.

"Hey, come in", I said as I opened the door.

"Wow, you look err wow", he stuttered.

As faint blush swept across my cheeks as I mumbled a quick thank you.

"You look great too", I said, and he really did. He was dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and he had even combed his hair. He smiled in response.

"Come in, I'm nearly ready", I said, as he walked inside.

I shut the door and Deeks followed me into my bedroom. He stood in the corner fumbling with a tie that he had just pulled out of his pocket. I put in a pair of diamond earrings that my dad brought my for my birthday the year before he died. After attaching a matching necklace around my neck I was ready.  

"Uhh Kens, a little help?", Deeks said from across the room. 

I looked over to see him all tangled up in his tie. I chuckled and went over to help him. After about 5 minutes of me pulling on the tie and Deeks squealing 'owwww' I managed to untangle the tie and fasten it round his neck correctly.

"There", I whispered as I smoothed down his shirt.

"Thanks", he whispered back, looking straight into my eyes.

In that moment everything felt right, I looked back up at him and slowly brushed my lips against his. At first it was gentle but he kissed me back forcefully and pushed me down onto the bed. I wrapped my legs around his waist and flipped us over so that I was on top, then continued to kiss him. I snatched off the tie that I had just fastened so beautifully and began to undo the buttons on his shirt when a loud car alarm sounded from down the street. We broke apart at the sound of the alarm and looked into each others eyes, our foreheads touching. 

"Wow", we both breathed simultaneously.

"What happens next?", I asked in a whisper.

"It's a love story", he replied, giving me a grin.

"You said that last time", I chuckled in response.

"This isn't gunna be like last time", he whispered.

"Good", I whispered back, brushing my lips against his. 

"We have to leave or we're gunna be late and Hetty will come after us with her letter opener", he joked.

I nodded and sighed in agreement as I climbed off on him. Luckily my hair was still in tact after our heated make out session so I smoothed out my dress and we both walked out of the house to Deeks's car. As we got in I turned to Deeks.

"Hey, do you wanna come over later so we can talk about this?", I asked quietly.

"Yeah, that'd be great", he said giving me his award winning smile before suddenly going very serious. "But Kens, just know, I'm not gunna let you go this time".

"I meant what I said too Deeks, We're not gunna mess this up again", I replied softly.

"We're here", He annouced, smiling softly at me.

"Lets get this over with", I muttered, as we both got out the car and walked hand in hand up towards the dance.
