OPS Shenanigans

Showing Off

Eric half ran into OPS. "Nell you would never guess what I just saw"

"was Sam beating Deeks at push-ups again"

"No better"

"Come on dude. Don't leave in suspense"

"Kensi and Deeks ballroom dancing in the gym".

"No way, I'll bring it up on the big screen"

Nell turned to her computer. the screen now had a very annoyed looking Hetty covering most of it. "Oops"

"Oops indeed Miss Jones, both of you down to the gym now if you think this sort of necessary exercise is for your own amusement you must be made to take part" the screen cut of. Nell turned to Eric.
"You planned this didn't you"

"Guilty, come on even you have got to admit that we have serious skills"

"And you want to show Deeks and Kensi up"

"That two and it is a great opportunity"

"Let's go Beale" Nell grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards the gym.

Kensi and Deeks were sitting at the side. Deeks was massaging his foot and arguing with Kensi over who should lead next time although Kensi assured him there would be no next time. Hetty sat patiently waiting for them.

"This is going to be good, I bet you 10 bucks that Eric steps on Nell's toes at least twice" Deeks said to Callen.

"I'll take that bet, I bet you that Neric will make a great dancing duo" Callen remarked barely hiding a smirk. Nell felt her face flush red. Not another nickname, she had only just got used to 'wonder twins'.

"Ok Mr Beale, Miss Jones positions please"
Eric took Nell's hand it was warm to the touch. He put his other hand on his waist and they started to dance rather harmoniously.
They twirled around the room. Deeks sat there with his mouth open. As Eric went for an open twirl.(Twirling you partner outwards and then bringing them back do they face the same way).

Hetty remarked "this is what dancing is all about, being one with your partner and working in perfect sync"

Nell's face was wide in a grin that could blind anyone. She gave Eric a subtle wink. He twirled her out again. this time instead of bringing her in slowly. Nell let go and ran at him. Eric grabbed Nell by the waist and pulled her into the air above his head. As he lowered Nell they were met with woops and hollers.

"I believe Deeks you owe me 10 bucks" Callen said smirking.

"Now where did our two favourite recluses acquire such tasteful dance moves" Sam asked intrigued.

"We um, well Nell..." Eric said stammering.

" One night me and Eric went out for drink with some or Eric's buddies"
Nell started.

"And" Deeks interrupted

"I'm getting there be patient, by the end of the night it was just me and Eric and we were playing I never and out of the blue Eric said 'I have never Won a ballroom dancing competition'. Neither of us drank"

"And" asked Deeks again.

"There is no and, that is all there is to that particular story" Nell said trying to avoid a lengthy and somewhat deep explanation.

"How did you get so good"

"Well normally after a stressful case, for example Deeks surfs or Kensi watches America's next top model. Me and Nell well we go out dancing. it gets us away from work and into the world of normal people" Eric answered.

"We enjoy it and each others company" Nell half whispered that last part. The world wasn't quite ready for Neric,

Not Yet?
