I Never Told

Chapter 8

Abby's (POV):

I decide to make a cup of tea to calm my nerves enough to sleep, but as soon as I put the pot on I heard a knock at my door. I swear if that's Tony, I'll kill him. "Tony for the last time I'm fi...." I just stared. There was my, supposedly, dead love with a look of pure determination on his face. "Gibbs." I finally stuttered out.

"Abbs." He smiled and the world shifted, it took me a few seconds to realize he was kissing me. Before I could do anything, he pulled away. "Sorry I just...."

I put my finger on his lips, which were wearing a lovely shade of my red gloss. "Just kiss me again." He smirked before gently lowering his lips onto mine. I brought my hands up and tangled them in his amazing silver hair, and he clutched at me like he was afraid of me leaving.

Gibb's(POV): (before the door opened)

I'll talk to her and tell her why it's not safe, make her understand. Remember, Gunny do not. I repeat. DO NOT!! Kiss her. If you kiss her you'll never want to  leave. *Knock knock* 

"Tony for the last time I'm fi...." She froze, just staring at me with those amazing green eyes. "Gibbs." She choked out.

"Abbs." And like a drowning man floating towards air, I am powerless to her gravity. I bring us together and press my lips on hers and....nothing. She didn't kiss back maybe I was wrong to.... "I'm sorry. I just..."

She pressed a finger on my lips and stared at me; when I could finally look into her eyes, she said four words that sent both my heart and my mind flying, "Just kiss me again." 

I complied, gently pressing my lips against hers, thinking I am crazy. Then she ran her fingers through my hair, so I pulled her closer because she was all I needed. When I feel things are headed towards the bedroom, I pulled away. Laying my forehead against hers I say, "Abby, we need to talk."

"Later." She kissed me again and I kissed back for a second.

"No. Now, it's important."

She pulled away. "Okay.... Coffee?"

"Please." I sat in my chair and stared down to where my name had been carved into the table.

*Flashback*

"Why do you always sit there?" Abby questioned me.

"I like this chair." And this one gives me a chance to watch you as you move about the kitchen.

"Well, you sit there so often we might as well carve your name into the wood. In fact," She walked over and sat in my lap. I froze using all my will power not to grind into her. Just as I felt my will about to expire she stood. I glanced down to see a sloppy version of 'L. J. Gibbs' carved into the table.

"If it's a job worth doing...." I took out my pen knife. And thickened and straightened the letters while she watched from over my shoulder.

"It's perfect." She exclaimed when I was done. She leaned over my to rub the letters rubbing her chest up my back as she went.

"Like you?" I turned to smirk at her.

"Oh no! I'm all weird and caffeinated and then there's my tattoo's. And I'm certainly no red head." She smirked.

"No, but you are one thing no one else can claim."

 She glanced at me. "What's that?"

I held up my hand and signed,"My girl".

*End of flashback*

I smiled down at the name.

 "Gibbs," She held out the coffee cup obviously uncomfortable.

"Yeah." I smiled hoping to relax her.

"Why'd you kiss me like that if you just wanted to talk?" She tugged on her skirt.

"Couldn't help myself." I smirked.

"Well, what's so important that you put off something we've both been waiting years for?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Honestly Abbs, now that I think about it, nothing that can't wait till morning." 

She smiled then, her eyes full of wicked promise. "Let's play find Abby's tattoos." She pulled me into the bedroom and slammed the door.
