Meant To Be

Disclaimer: I do not own any of them. If I did would I be writing or dreaming about owning them?

A/N: AU, I had wanted to put this up for so long before any of my other stories but I kept on forgetting for it is my precious amongst all of my other stories so far and hopefully you will all agree with me. This has been saved on my laptop for so long that it isn’t considered to be funny anymore so no laughing. This could be my ultimate Love Story; the others were a test for myself to prove what my words are capable of doing.

Full Summery: Tony DiNozzo bumps into Ziva David by accident while out on a morning run before going into work that day. Together will they discover what they have been missing there whole lives and realise that they were meant to be and they aren’t alone in that factor. Tiva, Kibbs and possibly McGabby if you are feeling special. Set during Season 2, not sure which episode to be exact and earnest and it will be Rated-M for future chapters.

Running along the dirt, leaf, gravel or cemented pathway laid out before Tony’s two sneaker covered feet, the early sunrays broke the skies banks as it began its ascent for a whole brand new day and the morning breeze seems to be giving the sun its silent but bright approval for showings its golden face for the world to see. Still the two powerful legs powered on, sweat was just starting to break through his pores.

The need to get all of his energy out before turning up to work that morning seems to be a good idea, anger seems to be taking hold of him lately. Anger at learning that his so-called team have been spending quality time outside of work and they all make up petty excuses as to why they didn’t invite him. Learning about what they all have been doing behind his back without him the hard way. They all seem to be happy of what they are doing and that is what angers him the most.

Not sure why he feels angered by it all for Tony has learnt how to deal with not being included in social events, by friends or family. Suppose that is what you get from teasing them most of the time, but can they not see that it is just a front and in truth he is just afraid of what they will see behind his mask.

Too consumed with his thoughts that he didn’t see the person in front of him, not seeing them until he had literally bumped into the unlucky person. With quick reflexes he manages to catch the person before they land onto the ground beneath them.

Not just a person either but a beautiful woman instead.

“Sorry miss,” Tony apologises and he doesn’t know why but this woman has caught his attention. “Didn’t mean to run into you and if you want to return the favour I will let you.”

“Let go of me than and I will do you a favour,” the beautiful woman says angrily.

Tony lets her go and steps back to give her some space. “Give me your best shot than and I won’t lay any charges.”

“I am not going to garbage any of my energy on you,” the woman says curiously.

“Do you not mean waste any of my energy? Not garbage,” Tony couldn’t help but give her a smirk.

“What?” the woman asks him while giving Tony a once over glance.

“Never mind,” Tony let it slide and gives the woman a once over glance in return. “Anyway nice meeting you but I have to get going before my boss really does decide to fire my arse.”

“Watch out where you are running then,” the woman smirks at him and Tony couldn’t help but be drawn into that smile of hers.

“Oh I shall,” Tony looks at the woman and he feels like he is walking away from something big and important in his life. “By the way it was nice meeting you.”

“You didn’t meet me,” the woman says. “You bumped into me remember.”

“My name is Tony by the way,” Tony says out of the blue.

“Mine is Ziva,” Ziva what a beautiful name Tony thought to himself.

“Well Ziva I really had better get going now,” Tony would like to say her name again on his tongue and say it out loud.

“Bye than,” Ziva lifted up her hand to do a funny little wave at him.

Tony couldn’t help but laugh out loud and he starts to runaway from the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

(TIVA)

Tony had made it into work in time and the anger he had felt had seemed to disintegrate into thin air. All he could think about right now was Ziva and he has funny feeling that won’t be the last time he sees her.

“Morning,” Tony says to the three other agents in the squad room.

“Morning Tony,” Kate greets him.

McGee and Gibbs didn’t say any form of greeting whatsoever to him.

“How was you rare weekend off Tony?” Kate asks him and she smiles at him.

“Okay I guess,” Tony wasn’t going to Kate that he had seen her and the others in one of the bars he frequently visits. “How was yours than Kate? Let me guess cleaning up your home or gone out on a date.”

“Like to know wouldn’t you,” Kate said smugly.

Tony just smiles and booted up his computer, putting his firearm in a draw as he waited for it to wake up. He wants the day to hurry up for in truth he doesn’t really want to be today and probably daydream about Ziva. She is beautiful and he could tell she is a fighter amongst that beauty of hers, he is truly grateful for her not hitting him as Tony had suggested her to do. Drawn, intrigue and maybe she intimates him. She isn’t Tony’s type either, which is odd in itself.

Also in a way thinking about this mysterious woman named Ziva is a good distraction from his other problem. No other woman has kept him on suspense just by thinking about them before. Guess there is always a first to everything. Her eyes a rich dark brown possibly a shade darker that Kate’s.

Time flew by and now it is getting close to home time unless they get case in-between now and home time. Marvellous at how time can fly by right past you with out even knowing it, there has been very little talk between the agents all consumed by their own thoughts. Even Tony wasn’t talking much and that is a new feat in it self, for it is usually Tony who does most of the talking and less work down.

Kate had noticed that Tony is unusually quiet today than per normal. Not feeling bad about not inviting him over to join them all on Saturday night but Kate had never really understood Tony DiNozzo. Sometimes she still wonders why Gibbs had managed to put up with him for so long, admitting to herself that on occasionally Tony can be a big help on some cases.

Being on the team for nearly a year now and she still doesn’t get it. Ducky had vocally said to Kate on Saturday night how disappointed he was when she said that Tony didn’t get invitation.

What Kate couldn’t really get over with on Saturday night was the kiss that she and Gibbs had shared in the car park just outside the bar and luckily no one was anywhere near them to witness that one kiss. Never had she been kissed like that before and it made her wonder what he would be like in bed. Though they may have both been a little drunk at the time but nowhere near drunk enough to be kissed like that.

Taking a quick glance in Gibbs direction and they both look at each other at the same time.

“Going for coffee,” was all Gibbs said out of the blue.

Kate just walked up and followed him into the elevator without saying a word to the others about where she was off too. Saving those words for Gibbs alone.

Stepping into the elevator before it closed on her, standing there and facing Gibbs daring him to stop her. “We need to talk Gibbs.”

“Talk about what Agent Todd exactly?” Gibbs stops the elevator and stood to face his female agent.

“About Saturday night,” Kate said as if it was obvious. “The kiss that you and I had shared in the parking lot.”

“We were both drunk Kate it was a mistake,” Gibbs tells Kate so. “It should never have had happened in the first place.”

“Did it feel like a mistake to you?” Kate asks Gibbs and staring into his icy blue orbs that has captivated her attention when she first met him on Air Force One. “I wasn’t that drunk and neither were you Jethro.”

“Don’t forget Kate I have rule against that type of thing,” Gibbs couldn’t deny that Kate does intrigue him in away but she always thought she was more interested in Tony or someone else and not him.

“But you want it to happen Gibbs I can see it in your eyes just now,” Kate stated abruptly to Gibbs using her profiling skills to help her out here. “We both know that we can not ignore it once we have both tasted it.”

Gibbs looks at her lips and back to her brown orbs again. Without any warning to Kate, Gibbs had her back against the elevator doors. “Are you sure about this Kate? Are you sure that this is what you want?”

“It is and I can keep a secret only if that is how you want to keep it as,” Kate felt Gibbs body lining up against her.

Gibbs began to kiss Kate on her lips at first testing it before continuing it into a fiercer kiss. Running her hands up to his silvery hair as she returns the kiss in the same favour. Breaking away to get some air into their much air needed lungs.

“Come over to my place tonight and we shall continue this somewhere much more comfortable,” Gibbs says between nibbling Kate’s earlobe at the same time.

“Deal,” Kate had a broad smile spreading on her lips at the thought. “You better get your coffee so we don’t cause any suspicion.”

Tony had found himself standing front of the elevator so it could take him up to his apartment and a much needed shower along with a need for a cold beer with some pizza sounds nice. Stepping into the elevator as it opened wide and before he could do anything there was Ziva stepping into the very same elevator as him.

“Hello again,” Tony greets Ziva the very person who has been a constant figure in his thoughts during the day.

“Tony what are you doing here?” Ziva asks him as the elevator moved up to a floor or two.

“I live here and I take it you live here also,” Tony felt like time had stopped as this amazingly and stunningly beautiful woman was looking at him.

“Coincidence,” Ziva tells him.

“As my boss says more than once,” Tony said as the doors opened on his floor and he prepared to step on to the hallway. “Never believe in coincidences for the is no such thing.”

Ziva too had stepped out of the elevator at the same time as he did. “I take it you live on the third floor also, yes.”

“I think we both know the answer to that one already,” Tony pauses in front of a door. “Well this is my door so don’t feel scared to come and visit me.”

“Nice seeing you again Tony,” Ziva offers her hand for a handshake.

Tony took it and felt like a ton of bricks had hit him square in the face. “You too Ziva.”

Tony entered his apartment and closed his door on the woman who has left him intrigued once again.
