Chapter 1

She stood there, watching and waiting for him to say something and in the end decided to start, "Hello Jethro" and with that smiled. She turned and walked away listening to him say goodbye to Morrow before following her. He grabbed her arm, "What are you doing here Jen, why NCIS?" he asked making her stop and look at him. "I'm not here for you Jethro, I'm here for my career" she answered simply before walking away from MTAC and into her office.

She walked straight through and sat at her desk, HER desk, thinking about how she was going to cope working with the one man who had got through her shields and barriers. She dropped her head into her hands and started to sob only having to stop when her door burst open and Gibbs just strode in. "You can't do this Jen, it took me months to get over you when you left me in Paris and now you just turn up as my new boss" he didn't even stop to breath. She straightened up and looked him in the eye, "There you go, once again it has to be about you, I left so that I could have a career and life" she said, " and don't forget I knew about you ex-wives and I didn't want to end up as another one". She stood and walked around her desk to stand just in front of him, "You asked me to come with to DC when you know I wanted to have a proper career" she threw it at him all the while not breaking eye contact. He didn't say anything just stared at her, his ice blue eyes boring into her emerald ones reading her soul. He stepped forward until she was perched in the edge of her desk with his face millimetres from hers. "Jen, you always loved me, don't try and tell me you don't" he said as she tried to interrupt. "I opened my heart to you and now I am giving you another chance to take it as yours" he said before stepping back slightly but still not letting her up of the desk.

She went to answer him when Tony burst into the room before stopping and staring at the scene before him, "Sorry boss, I just wanted to know if it was true that Morrow had gone" he said before backing out of the room and shutting the door behind him. Gibbs turned back to Jenny to find that she had tears in her eyes making them sparkle even more than normal, "Jethro I never stopped loving you, I thought you would hate me" she turned her head away from as the tears started to flow down her cheeks. He took hold of her chin and made her look at him, "I could never hate you Jen, and I am going to make this work" he told her before pulling her into a heart breaking kiss. She took his face in her hands and pulled him deeper into the kiss.

"We will have to keep this quite though Jethro because if SECNAV finds out before I tell him we will both be shot" she said after they had finally broken apart for air. He merely nodded and walked towards the door. Not before winking.
