Rehearsal ended around 7:00pm, and everyone went home. As soon as Ziva arrived home, She went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. She needed a nice hot shower to wash away the aches, pains, and stress of rehearsal.
As soon as she finished her shower, Ziva whipped out her phone and texted Tony.
Hey Tony, it's Ziva. Sundays are my day off, so if it works out with your schedule, I can teach Hazzel on Sundays. Anytime works for me.
After she sent the text, she slipped her phone in her pocket and proceeded to do some laundry.
No more than five minutes later, Ziva felt her phone vibrate. Tony had texted back.
Hi Ziva. Yeah, Sundays work fine with us. How about 10:30am? Hazzel has nap time around noon. See you then!
Ziva smiled. Sundays at 10:30 it is. She quickly replied back, and went back to doing the laundry.
------------------
Sure. 10:30am on Sundays work for me. See you both there!
Tony smiled as he read the text that Ziva sent. He couldn't explain why the prospect of seeing her again made him feel so happy. It wasn't as if they would get together or something. Ziva had a boyfriend, and he wasn't sure if he was able to love a woman the way he loved Wendy.
But he still felt all giddy inside with no logical explanation.
"Why are you smiling Dada?" Hazzel's voice snapped Tony back into reality. He glanced down at her, and smiled.
"Because, Ziva said that she can teach you ballet this Sunday. Isn't that exciting!?" He said with a wide smile.
"Yayyyyyy!" Hazzel shouted so loudly that Tony had to cover his ears. She started to skip and jump all around him.
Tony laughed. "Hazzel sweetie, I know you're excited, but you can't be that loud".
"Sowy Dada". Hazzel apologized.
Tony ruffled her hair. "It's fine sweetie". He glanced at the clock that read '8:30pm'. "Go and get your pajamas. It's past your bedtime".
Hazzel nodded and skipped to her bedroom to grab her pajamas. Tony glanced at the text message again and couldn't help but smile.
Sundays at 10:30 it is.
