His Blue Eyes Girl

Ch.24-Who's Ziva?

As soon as she opens her eyes, she looks around the room. Definitely not her room or Hayley's room. Finally, she looks down on her body to find herself in comfortable clothes instead of her red midi sleeveless dress. Soon enough she's reminded of last night's event. That's right she left with AD. She must have fallen asleep. So that means he had to carry her up to his bed and even changed her out of his dress.

"Hey beautiful," he says as he walks into the room with a glass of milk. "How are you feeling?"

"Tired," she replies as she takes the glass of milk from him and gulps it down.

"Look," he says as he sits down beside her, "Are you okay from yesterday? I swear I'll ki—"

"I'm alright," she cuts him, "My stomach just hurts a little bit."

"Why? Who hurt you," he asks as he wraps his arms around her and nuzzles against her neck.

"No one, I'm just on my period. Anyway," she says looking at him, "Who is this Ziva that Michael mentioned yesterday?"

"No one," he says as he tries to kiss her.

"Liar," she replies as she dodges his kiss.

"It's the truth."

"Guess, I just gotta torture you a bit until you tell me," she says pushing him away and gets out of his bed.

"Really," he says watching as she goes into the bathroom. "You're not going to let me touch or kiss you until I tell you, right?"

"Right," she says. "You have an extra toothbrush?"

"The first drawer on the right in the bathroom. You can borrow my clothes and your purse is on my dresser in the closet.

He watches as she scoots to one end of the sofa, totally ignoring him while she's playing some board game on her phone. Keith had once told him before that at some point he needs to tell Stephanie about Ziva, especially since there is a high chance that his uncle and Ziva might show up unexpectedly for his anniversary party. He hates to be reminded of his past, but his girl ignoring him and if he moves an inch close to her, she moves a hundred feet away from him. All he wants to do is to hold her in his arms and maybe a few kisses. During brunch she didn't talk to him at all, luckily, he gave the day off to his maids and butler or else they will probably be muttering about the tense atmosphere. One thing for sure, he did not have to ask about his cooking. Just looking at her cute face while eating, he can tell that she loves his cooking.

"AD let me go," she complains as he suddenly moves close to her, grabs her, and easily lifted her up on his laps. She was too focused on her game and he took advantage of the moment.

"Never," he replies as he plants a kiss on her neck and skillfully takes her phone away, "I'll tell you about Ziva only if you," he says as he turns her around to face causing her to straddle him on the sofa, "are you willingly to share with me one of your deep secrets."

"Fine," she complies, "but do we really have to be in this position," she asks in an embarrassed face.

"Why not," he says, "I like this position," he says with a mischievous look.

"Yeah maybe when we're in bed," she says as slaps his hands away and gets off to sit beside of him.

"Ziva is my ex-girlfriend. We dated for three years. We were even engaged. Three months before our wedding, I found her in bed with my uncle. Apparently, it turns out they have been having an affair for a year. I was devastated. I loved her so much and he is my uncle! I looked up to him since I was a little kid, he's like my other father. My parents called off the marriage. A few months later, my cousin, Aliyah passed away. Ziva and my uncle's wedding followed a few weeks later. I was completely insane, you have no idea, Stephanie. I lost my mind. I'd go out late at night in bars and clubs bringing home a different girl each night just so I can forget her. I was drinking like crazy as well. My parents couldn't handle my behavior and kicked me out. That's how I ended here," he says raising his hands in the air, "Apparently, Miriam got me back on my knees after snapping me back to reality. For three years straight I worked hard on my company throwing women aside. That was until I saw you with Keith one day as his date for a gala because Elizabeth and Hayley couldn't make it. Then I saw you two more times. The second time was when you were shopping for the red dress with Hayley and then at the gala when you jumped on me," he says was a chuckle remembering the scene.

"That was not funny, snakes scared me to death," she says hitting his arm.

"That was too funny," he says laughing, "but I enjoyed it."

Once again, she hits his arm and lay her head down on his laps as they both sit in quiet while he strokes her long hair. Staring into space, she begins to wonder what this Ziva looks like. Was she pretty? Short? Tall? Has brown eyes? Did they have an intimate relationship? What is she thinking about, they dated for three years, of course, they would have developed an intimate relationship. Letting out a silent sigh, she decides not to think too much about Ziva, she is after all AD's past. Then again, she really wants to know what this Ziva looks like.

"You're not going to ask anything about her," he asks.

"Knowing you, you would just tell me to forget it saying she's the past, I'm your present and it doesn't matter anymore."

"Never know, I might just tell you all you need to know."

"Fine. Remember that one day when we came back on your plane, playing that lie or truth game. I asked if you still love her, your ex? You said you didn't, but you were lying according to the lie detector. Do you still love her?"

She waits in silence waiting to hear his answer, but he sits there in deep thoughts thinking about all the times he had spent with Ziva. They loved each other so much, he did everything for her. He loved her a lot, probably a lot more than she loved him. She was kind, sweet, caring, and lovely. She was the epitome of a damsel in distress, he can never move his eyes away from her. Once he does, she always gets into some type of troubles. He was always her knight in shining armor, but he didn't mind because Ziva was the type of girl that needed a protector. 

"I gotta go," Stephanie says getting up, clearly trying not to show her disappointment.

"Stephanie-"

"I'll call you," she says as she grabs her stuff and heads out his door.
