The Story Of Cassandra Gibbs (Tony Dinozzo Fanfic)

Too Weak to Deny

Tony's POV

I, once again, find myself at the side of Cassandra's hospital bed while she slept. I held her hand and stared at her. She's so beautiful, even when she's covered in cuts and bruises. I looked at her charts: sprained ankle, minor concussion, fractured wrists, broken nose, dislocated knee, multiple tears in the vaginal wall, and two broken ribs. The doctor said she was lucky considering how much more damage the could have done.

Looking down, I remember the details of her kidnapping. I think of what I could have done differently, what I could have done to save her. The anger grows inside me and I grip Cassandra's hand tighter. Apparently, a little too tight as she winced and opened her eyes. Immediately, I lighten my grip and the pain disappears from her face. Sleepily, she looks at me and smiles slightly.

"Thought you'd be back at the office by now. You're still here?" she says, tired.

I smile back at her and move my chair closer to the side of her bed.

"You want to know the real reason or one of my usual sarcastic reasons?" I say, smirking.

"The sarcastic one is tempting but I'll have to go with the real reason."

"Darn! I was hoping you'd pick the sarcastic one." Standing up, I sit on the side of her bed and lean over so she can hear me better. "The real reason I'm still here is that, I can't stand the thought of you being alone right now. I want to be with you, to make sure you're okay."

"Why's that, Anthony Dinozzo? Does the infamous lady killer care about me?" she says, mockingly.

After a moment of contemplating what she just said, I lean in closer. Our faces were about a foot apart, eyes meeting.

"More than I ever have about anyone." She stares into my eyes in slight shock. "I- I love you, Cassandra."

Slowly, I lean in, our faces getting closer and closer by the second. Her eyes close as my face is an inch from her's. I close my eyes as well as our lips lightly graze each other's. I pull back slightly, to make sure Cassandra was alright with this. She brings her hand to the back of my neck and beckons me back. Our lips meet, her's were surprisingly soft as they intertwined with mine. Still holding her hand in mine, I clasp her cheek with the opposite, caressing it as our lips open and close in sync.

Cassandra's POV

Suddenly, Tony's lips stop moving against mine and he backs away slightly. Opening my eyes, I look into his. He smiles down at me and brings his hand on my cheek to stroke my hair. I smile back at him and caress the side of his face over the stubble forming.

"I love you, Cassandra Gibbs."

"I love you, too, Anthony Dinozzo."

Also, I apologize if this is shit. I had wrote a lot more but it wouldn't save so I just gave up.

Finally, I've got some news: I'm writing an original story! Highly doubt though that I'll be able to update it a lot with my track record. lol
