It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road with no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
The windshield wipers on Ziva's car were busy fighting the downpour when she spotted a figure up ahead, soaked through to the skin with rain. Slowing down, she pulled up along side and found herself drowning in clear green eyes. His medium-brown hair was black with rain.
"Do you want a ride?" she asked.
"Sure," he replied with a smile that showed off straight white teeth. Shaking his head like a wet dog, he climbed in, spraying Ziva with water. She just laughed and stepped on the accelerator, causing her passenger to pull a Flat Stanley against his seat.
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate, tell me it's right is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong just stay for the night
"What was that for?" he asked.
Ziva smiled and glanced over at him.
"Okay, let me rephrase that. Where did you learn to drive?"
"In Mossad, it is the one way to avoid an attack."
"That's not an answer!" he complained.
The Israeli just chuckled and prayed silently, Fate, tell me it's right, is this love at first sight? Please don't make it wrong. Just let him stay for the night.
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will
You want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
As Ziva drove, she could feel her desire growing. It seemed like there was an electric current running between them. Somehow, she knew he felt it too, and she wanted him as much as he wanted her.
So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
Breaking the thick silence between them, her passenger cleared his throat and said, "So . . . I'm Tony. What's your name?"
"Ziva."
"Nice name."
"Thanks."
Suddenly, Ziva noticed she was extremely tired. In the same heartbeat, she spotted a hotel she knew well. Struggling not to yawn, she pulled into the parking lot, stopped the car, climbed out, and made a mad dash for the hotel door, Tony right on her heels.
After securing a room for the night, they made their way to it, the desire between them increasing with each step.
However, as soon as Tony saw the TV, he had to check out all the different channels. Ziva could hear him muttering to himself: "No . . . forget it . . . nothing good on there . . ." Finally he threw the remote down and turned to his roommate. "So, Zi, anything you want to do?"
She grinned impishly. "I have something in mind."
"Like what?"
"You'll see, Tony."
"Why wait?" he asked, moving closer to her. His touch sent shivers up her spine.
Had his eyes said yes? Ziva didn't wait to be sure. Her hands wrapped around his neck, bringing him closer. Pleasure coursed through her when their lips met. Heat that rivaled a forest fire burned between them. Tony's bare hand snaked under her shirt and rested on her stomach.
When his mouth left hers to taste her neck, Ziva couldn't hold back any longer. Giving in to what her body was screaming for her to do, she gasped, "Tony, take me."
Soon there were no barriers between them as they tumbled onto the bed.
When Ziva woke hours later, she yawned, stretched, and glanced over at the alarm clock. It was only05:30. Smiling slightly, the pretty Israeli pushed her covers back and swung her legs over the side of the bed. Ziva dressed quickly and found a notepad and pencil. She scribbled down a note and left it on the nightstand where Tony would see it. After she shot one last affectionate glance at her lover, she left, hoping never to see him again.
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to
Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love
Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me, oh, whoa, was the one little thing that you can
Ziva strode into the orange-stained walls of NCIS headquarters and stopped dead when she saw him. The sight jogged something deep in her mind, some half-buried memory. The Mossad officer quickly regained her cool composure and sauntered over to the NCIS agent's desk. "Having phone sex?' she inquired.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo slammed the phone down on the receiver. "Uh, no." He paused, considering how much to tell her. "Actually, I was just remembering my partner."
"Half naked?"
"Maybe. What's it to you?"
Ziva didn't answer him; she was too busy studying him, trying to figure out why he looked so familiar. Finally, it clicked. "Have you ever hitchhiked before?"
He started, surprise flaring in his emerald-colored eyes. Warily, he replied, "Once. There was this really hot chick—she looked kinda like you, actually—and we stayed the night at this hotel. . . ."
"Let me guess," Ziva said. "When you woke, all she left you was a note."
He studied her with a strange look in his eyes. "Yeah. It said—"
" 'I am the flower, you are the seed. We walked in the garden . . .' " Ziva recited.
Tony stared at her. "It was you," he said softly. "Ziva . . ."
She cut him off by putting a finger to his lips. "Tony, is there anywhere we can talk without being overheard?" Her brown eyes flicked over meaningfully to McGee, Gibbs, and Director Shepard, who were quickly approaching. Well, Tim was seated at his desk shooting curious glances at Officer David and his co-worker.
"Yeah," he replied, moving toward the elevator. Ziva sighed and followed him after checking that the coast was clear.
As soon as the elevator doors closed behind them, DiNozzo turned off the power. "What are you doing here, Zi?"
"I'm Ari's control officer."
"Well, I'd wish you luck, but I wouldn't mean it."
Ziva swallowed hard and bit her lower lip. "Tony, there's something I have to tell you."
He closed what little distance remained between them. "I'm all ears."
I'm sure you are, Ziva retorted silently. Out loud, she begged, "Please, please understand. I'm in love with another man, and what he couldn't give me was the one little thing that you can."
Tony just stared at her, dumbstruck. Finally, he said sarcastically, "Oh, this is just great."
From somewhere nearby came the strains of a classic rock song which suited how Ziva felt perfectly:
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Come on, say you will, you want me too
DiNozzo shot one last glance at her before he flipped on the switch and strode out of the elevator angrily as soon as the doors opened. Ziva groaned in frustration and followed him, once again feeling that old tension between them.
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will baby you want me too
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
Yeah
All night long
