Chapter 6
Kate stared at Abby expecting her to start. Her phone rang and she pulled it out from her pocket.
"It's him" Abby hissed and threw her phone up in the air as if it was poison. Kate stood up and caught it, looking on caller ID, and this guy's name, Mikel Mawher, flashed on the screen.
"Hello?" Kate asked answering the phone.
"Is Abby there?" a male asked.
"No she isn't" Kate answered looking across at Abby who smiled weakly.
"What are you doing with her phone then?" he asked
"She came over my place last night, she must have left it here" Kate lied.
"You are lying! Last night Abby painted her nails" Kate looked at Abby's nails, they were painted bright red and looked new. Kate's heart began to race.
"And how do you now that?"
"Abby and I are in love" he answered.
"Look, I'm sorry I can't help you. Abby isn't here. I have to go" Kate said hanging up the phone.
"Abby, who was that?" Kate asked frowning. They both looked up as Gibbs entered the room.
"Everything alright?" he asked looking from Abby to Kate.
"Yeah. What happened to your belt?" Kate asked noticing it was missing.
"It was getting heavy, Abby are you ok?" he asked stepping forward. She shook her head then began to giggle uncontrollably.
"What?" Gibbs shrugged
"I'm sorry Gibbs. I can't take you seriously when you are wearing heart boxers" Abby said still laughing, Gibbs quickly disappeared out of the room and came back wearing long pants.
"Spoiled all my fun!" Kate pouted.
"Hey" Gibbs said quietly walking over to her, he sat down next to her.
"At least I got these" he said lightly touching his chest. Kate smiled faintly and slipped her fingers in-between his.
"Well I better go" Abby said getting up.
"Hang on" Kate said tugging on her shirt.
"What about this guy, who called?" Kate questioned.
"Don't worry I can handle him" Abby smiled and let herself out. Kate sat still for a moment looking at Gibbs. He smiled sweetly at her seeing her gaze.
"Have you finished fixing the wall?" she asked
"Not yet, oh yeah that is what I was going to ask"
"What?" Kate asked moving closer to him.
"If there is any spare paint for the walls" Gibbs asked.
"Um, there should be some in the laundry. I'll go have a look" Kate said getting up. Gibbs nodded his head and followed her out. He walked over to the wall and picked up the sander, wanting to make sure it was as smooth as it could be.
A few minutes later Kate came back. She put the tin of paint down near Gibbs feet.
"Here you go" she said
"Thanks. This should probably dry first" Gibbs said moving across to the couch. He groaned as he sat down, Kate giggled and sat down beside him.
"What?" he shouted
"Nothing" she said kissing his cheek.
"Are you hungry?" Kate asked changing the subject.
"I'm right thanks" Gibbs replied.
"So what are we going to do?"
"We could watch some TV?" Kate suggested.
"Sure" Gibbs nodded. Kate picked up the remote and turned it on. She flicked through all the channels before settling for a reality TV show. Fifteen minutes later Kate looked across at Gibbs sleeping. 'It is time for a nap' she thought resting against Gibbs chest.

When Kate woke hours later, she was resting against a pillow. She opened her eyes and saw Gibbs painting the wall quietly.
"Hello" she said wrapping her arms around his stomach.
"Hey gorgeous" he answered. He put the paint brush down,
"Do you want me to hang up this picture for you?" he asked staring at the painting.
"Sure" Kate nodded. Gibbs picked up his hammer and a nail.
"Where would you like it?" he asked
"How about over here?" Kate suggested moving across to the other side of the room.
"If you want" Gibbs shrugged. He hammered the nail in then walked back across and picked up the nail. He carefully hung it up. He stood back and wrapped himself around Kate.
"That is quite a nice painting" he admired.
"Yeah" Kate nodded leaning against him.
"Do you want to stay the night?" Kate asked
"That would be nice" Gibbs said turning her head with his hand and kissed her.
