"He's defiantly dating someone" Tony shared.

Kate rolled her eyes at him from behind her desk.

"And you're just sure you know this because…" Kate asked.

"His coffee breaks are taking longer"

"Honestly Tony. His coffee breaks, I'm pretty sure when he's in work mode he stays that way until maybe he leaves to go home for the night" Kate answered.

"You know what else," he said ignoring her, "I passed him in his car the other day why I was driving on my way to the park, his house isn't anywhere near their"

"You know where his house is?" Kate diverted, there was no need to tell Tony Gibbs was driving that way to come visit her. He had mentioned seeing Tony's car.

"Yes," Tony smiled, almost smug, "I've been there"

"Really?" Kate asked not really paying attention.

"When my heat went out" he confirmed.

Tony got out his phone and started punching keys just as Kate fished her vibrating one out of her pocket. She flipped it open, clicked the OK button so she could read her text and smiled as it opened. It had taken her hours to teach him how texting worked and he still felt the need to type out the whole word instead of using abbreviations, but it wasn't like he typed much anyway. He didn't like to text much but he would do it occasionally when they were at the office.

Coffee?

I would love 1 Kate typed back as Tony babbled oblivious to her distraction.

"I bet she was a red head," he was saying, "he only seems to like redheads"

Kate nodded absent mindedly as her phone vibrated again.

I'll leave it in the lab.

KK, Tony's goin on bout how u only like red heads…

"He's been gone nearly fifteen minutes; it doesn't take that long to get a cup of coffee"

"Could be a long line Tony" Kate replied as her phone bussed.

You know that's not true, Katie

Kate had to hide a smile he could be so sweet sometimes.

Yeah, I know. About tht cup of coffee bring it with you I'll sneak it in the car or something Tony's going on bout how long its taken u to get 1 cup of coffee

She typed back. As she looked up Tony was texting again much more obviously that she was. McGee was quietly working on something that kept his fingers occupied.

"Line can't be that long. It's a five minute commute, total, there and back" he stated knowingly.

Long Line

She laughed at the message.

thts what I said hes not goin 4 it

"Who's Kate texting?" Tony said making as much of a deal out of it as a high schooler would.

"No one" Kate fibbed, Tony for once seemed to buy it, that or he just really didn't care.

Movie night? Your place, at eight o'clock, I'll bring the pizza you pick the movie.

Kate smiled as Tony rambled on about his current girls.

If we don't have a case

Kate replied to the simple message. The next one came later and it caught her slightly off guard.

I Love You Katie, brown hair and all

Kate's fingers fluttered over the key pad. The two of them had only exchanged this phrase once or twice and that was all very recently. Kate understood the inner turmoil in saying it to her. It showed his trust and she loved him for it.

I'm glad. I love you too Gibbs silver shiny sexy hair and all

She texted back immediately and as soon as she sent it the receiver stepped out of the elevator two coffees in his hands.

"What he does he need to coffees for?" Kate asked, as if she didn't know.

"No clue but I'm sure it has something to do with one of his ex-wives" Tony said apparently forgetting his prior theory, that or he put it on the back burner.

Kate hid a smile as she peeked her phone open as she stood in the back corner of the elevator.

Love you more
