AN: I'm sorry it took me this long to post this chapter but spring break is wild around here and I've been under a new schedule. I sleep during most of the day so I can spend the night partying with my friends and boyfriend. But here's your chapter. I'm sorry I didn't write the M part I promised but this was the best I could come up with. I might write the M part and add it to this story soon, seeing as those wild days are over today. Reviews are great, people. Enjoy ;-)
You know what they say about jealousy, right?
An American writer once said that jealousy is the fun you think they had. Well, it might be so. Because Marty Deeks is jealous.
It's not something he's ready to admit out loud. Hell, it's not something he's ready to admit. But just thinking about the things they might have done, Callen and Kensi that is, he feels sick. And the worst part is that this might be his fault. He's the one who has been denying they have a thing for way too long.
Kensi might have many issues but he knows she's well aware of their thing. It's all in her eyes. He can read her, or at least he thought he could read her. Now, he's not so sure.
But the point is that she never denied their thing. That's always been his 'job'. And all the reasons he had to keep her at arm's length seem rather silly at this point.
He's in love with her and she's probably screwing Callen.
His jealousy transforms into anger with that thought and by the time the couple walks through the doors of the bullpen he's nearly fuming.
Sam chooses not to say a word because he has the feeling there is something more to this story than what appears at first sight.
He knows just how sneaky Callen and Kensi can be. If they wanted to hide their torrid love from them they wouldn't meet at Kensi's house, knowing that Deeks could show up at any time. There's something else he does not understand. Why would Callen and Kensi keep exchanging glances at work?
They're professional liars. If they wanted to keep whatever is going on between them a secret, they would succeed without trying too hard.
That's why he has the feeling Deeks is walking right into a carefully set up trap when they walk into the bullpen together and he gets up, smoke almost coming out of his hears.
Callen sits on his chair, as if nothing out of ordinary is happening.
Deeks stands in front of Kensi to block her path to her own chair. And as soon as she opens her mouth to ask him what's going on, Deeks grabs her arm and leads her to the first place he can think that will grant them some privacy: the storage room in the back.
He turns on the light as soon as they're both inside and locks the door, just in case someone tries to walk in. The room is big, almost as big as Kensi's house and his apartment, but it's clean (one would think no one would ever clean that room and that it would be covered in dust but Hetty keeps it immaculate). Then he turns to her, anger in his eyes, and can't keep it together anymore.
"Can you explain me why is that you and Callen spent the night together in your house and walked in with huge smiles on your faces?"
Kensi remains calm, something rather unusual. She is not one to respond well to anger so he was expecting a slap, a yelling match and probably a kick where the sun doesn't shine. But she just stands there, a calm look on her face and her voice cool. "I can't see how this is any of your business, Deeks. What I do outside work doesn't concern you."
That doesn't calm him down. In fact, it only makes him angrier. And he can't really stop the next words from coming out of his mouth. "It's my business because I love you, you idiot!"

Callen sips his coffee while reading the newspaper, calm and relaxed as usual. Sam can't stand it anymore. Deeks dragged Kensi to the storage room and Callen is doing absolutely nothing.
There is something going on here and he has the feeling his partner has been toying with him. That's why he's the one who breaks the silence in the bullpen.
"I know you spent the night at Kensi's."
Callen shrugs and doesn't take his eyes off the newspaper. "I found your GPS tracker the moment I parked on her driveway."
Sam shakes his head, frowning. "Then why didn't you remove it? You could have destroyed it easily…"
Callen keeps his eyes trained on the news, not bothering looking towards his partner. "That would be a waste of time."
Sam, knowing he's not going to get anywhere with this conversation, gives up. They stay in silence for a few seconds. Callen keeps reading the newspaper while Sam thinks about this whole thing. And after a while, he finally figures out what's going on.
"You didn't sleep with Kensi."
Callen finally looks at him, a grin on his face. "No, I did not."
"She asked you to do this, didn't she?"
The other man shrugs. "It was a mutual idea."
Sam shakes his head, a grin on his face to match Callen's. "Deeks is walking into a trap, isn't he?"
"You can bet he is."

The second those words come out of his lips he realizes something is going on.
Because Kensi smiles, a victorious smile, right before leaning in and connecting her lips with his.
Deeks reacts quickly, getting over the shock in just a second and starting to kiss her back. Her lips are as soft as he imagined and she tastes like coffee and candy, a dangerous mix that is making him an addict after just a few seconds.
Her arms wrap around his neck and he lifts her up, making her wrap her legs around his waist. Then he's backing her up against a wall and the moan she lets out when he gropes her behind (just like he's been wanting to do since the first moment he laid eyes on her perfectly toned butt) is a sound that will never leave his mind.
They pull back for air but he doesn't waste any time and his mouth travels down her neck until he finds the spot that makes her moan. Kensi can feel his smirk against her neck when he finds it but she's way past caring at this point. As long as he doesn't stop what he's doing, she won't complain.
The fact that they're at work doesn't cross their minds and it's only when someone knocks on the door that they pull back, breathing heavy and looking into each other's eyes. Kensi is the one who breaks the silence, knowing that Deeks is currently too shocked to form words.
"Who is it?"
Deeks closes his eyes and takes a deep breath to try to calm himself down. He's only a man and he couldn't really help his body's reaction to being this close to Kensi. He hides his face on the crook of her neck, taking a few deep breaths and still keeping his arms wrapped around her waist to keep her steady. The person on the other side of the door answers her and Deeks can picture the smirk on the other man's face.
"If you don't want to get caught doing something dirty by Hetty, I suggest you to get out and save that thought for later, when you're home or in a motel."
Kensi laughs at Callen's advice and kisses Deeks head. He lifts his head to look at her and sees the smirk on her face. That's when it finally hits him. "You set me up, didn't you?"
Kensi untangles herself from him and Deeks helps her put her feet back on the ground. "Well, I knew you liked me but you never did anything so I had to take matters into my own hands. I asked Callen to help me and he gladly accepted to do so. We knew Sam would probably place a GPS tracker in our cars so we spent the night in my house. We played poker until one in the morning and he slept in the couch after that. Oh, and by the way, I love you too!"
Deeks shakes his head, the grin not leaving his face. "You set me up!"
Kensi knows he's not really mad so she kisses him once again before leaving the storage room.
Deeks leaves right after her, a huge grin on his face. As soon as they enter the bullpen, Kensi walks to Callen and gives him a big hug. "Thank you, Callen."
The other man kisses her forehead. "That's what friends are for."
The End…?
