Second chance: Part 23

"Well that was a nice evening. Lori is nice." Tony says as he close the door. "Or what do you think?" Ziva didn't respond. "Ziva? Are you alright? What is wrong? Ziva..?" "Huh? Did you say something? I'm sorry." "Ziva" He walks up to her and look into her eyes. "What is wrong?" "I..I thought..." "Come here." Tony led her to the couch and pulled her closer. "What is wrong? Tell me please Zi" "I was thinking about us, everyhting we have been through. I've been so stupied. I haven't and didn't trusted you. I've made so many mistakes. I don't understand how you can love me after all this. And I've been stupied enough to not see that you have always felt this way about me." She started to cry. "Ziva, what do you mean? How could I not love you? You are smart, funny, strong, beautiful, loving, caring and much more." He wrapped his arms around her and she cried into his shoulder. "Yeah... I trusted my brother Ari, I trusted Michael and I trusted my father. But but I couldn't force to trust you. You have always been there for me. You jeopardized your entire career for me. You came to Somalia to save me becuase you couldn't live without me. My father, he put me there, did he save me? No he left me to die, but you didn't. You had my back, you have always had my back and I couldn't force to trust you. When my father died, you was there. You told me 'I want whatever you want, whatever you need. A friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on.' How... how can I be so stupied. After all these years I've been building walls, pushing the only person that have been there for me out." "Shhh... Ziva first of all you are not stupied then everyone makes mistakes. It makes you human. And I don't care about all your mistakes, I love you, you are perfect to me." He tried to kiss her put she pulled him away. "How can you say all those sweet things? How can you not be angry about this? I'm a terrible person!" She stood up to walk away but Tony grabbed her and pulled her back to him again. She started to punch him but she didn't suceed so well with that. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Her eyes were red and sore from all crying and her hair had got messy. "Ziva" She cried into his chest until she fell asleep 30 minutes later in his arms. Tony knew she was just tired. He let her sleep, he didn't want to wake her up. Tony rubbed her back. He didn't care about all her mistakes, he loved her no matter what. Memories flooded past. Having phone sex? Becuase that was definitely not your knee. Woah my ninja. I'm tired of pretending. You jeopardized you entire career and for what? For you. Why are you here? Couldn't live without you, I guess. That you had my back, that you have always had my back. Agent David, do you really consider me to be in your life? Cherish each other. I want whatever you want. Whatever you need. A friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on. At lo levad. I always knew you were the type. Dance with me... Memories flooded back to him and he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
