(The Next Day)

(At NCIS: OSP Headquarters)

(Emily's P.O.V.)

I walked into the bull pen, went to my desk, and sat my bag down.

I smiled as I remembered what happened last night.

I took a chance and kissed Callen. Something I normally wouldn't do, I did last night.

And Callen kissed me back.

Which meant he liked me, too.

…..I think.

I turned around to head into the kitchen when I saw Callen standing in the kitchen with his back to me pouring coffee into a cup.

I walked over to him.

"Hey," I said.

Callen sat down the coffee pot, and looked at me.

"Hey," He said, smiling a little. "How was the slumber party?"

"Fun." I said. Then, I said softly: "But I kept thinking about you the whole night."

"I kept thinking about you last night, too." Callen said softly.

It was silent for a couple seconds, then I asked:

"So….Where does this leave us?"

It was silent for a minute, then, Callen said:

"Emily, I'm not going to lie. I really like you a lot….But I have this rule. You know that."

"I know." I said. "But….Don't you think it's time to break that rule?"

"…I can't." He said. "I have that rule for a reason…I'm sorry, Em."

I nodded as I looked away from him. Feeling sad.

"I understand." I said, looking back at him. "Friends it is."

Callen smiled sadly at me.

"By the way," I began. "Remember how you asked me who my type of guy was?"

Callen nodded.

"My type of guy," I said. "Is you."

Callen and I stared at each other.

"Morning, G." I heard a voice say. "Morning, Emily."

I looked away from Callen, and saw Sam was by his desk in the bull pen setting his bag down by his desk.

"Morning, Sam." I said, as I walked toward him.

The day went by slow. No new case, so we were all sitting at our desk working on paper work and talking.

Callen and I acted like nothing happened between us.

And no one, like always, seemed to have noticed the glances that passed between us through out the day.

Making me wonder, if I will be able to change his mind.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
