A Woman Like You

Previously on NCIS

“Honey, what would you do if you never met me?” Jenny asked Jethro as the song played that lyric.

“Honey, what would you do if you never met me?” Ziva asked Tony as the song played that lyric.

“Honey, what would you do if you never met me?” Jaylyn asked Kasey as the song played that lyric.

“Honey, what would you do if you never met me?”  Kelly asked Charlie as the song played that lyric.

“Honey, what would you do if you never met me?” Abby asked McGee as the song played that lyric.

All five women stared their significant others wanting an answer.

            “I’d do a lot more off shore fishin’.” Jethro said answering Jenny before she completely bugged out.

            “Probably eat more drive-thru chicken, I probably never would have heard of yoga, be a better football fan.” Tony answered Ziva.

            “I’d be shootin’ pool in my bachelor pad.” Kasey replied.

            “Playin’ bass in my cover band.” Charlie said.

            “Restocking’ up cold bud light for poker every Tuesday night.” McGee confidently said.

            “And not one throw pillow on the bed. I’d keep cash in a coffee can.”  Gibbs continued.

            “But if I was a single man, alone and out there on the loose, I’d be looking for a woman like you.” Tony and Charlie uttered to their respective significant others.

            “I love the sound of your name, I might miss that old green nova.” Kasey said.

            “You make the best fried chicken.” Tony quipped.

            “I’d take a gold band on my hand, over being a single man. Cause honestly, I don’t know what I’d do if I’d never met a woman like you.” Jethro said.

            Jenny’s younger counterparts were content with the answers they got and fell asleep in the arms of their respective significant others, in their respective beds and homes. Jenny on the other hand was skillfully planning her next move. She was an artist in the bedroom as Jethro tended to put it.

            “What’s going on in the gorgeous head of yours?” Jethro inquired as he stared into Jenny’s emerald eyes.

            “Nothing, you know that; Jethro.”

            “Did you forget rule seven, Jen?”

            “How could I.” Jenny said mischievously.

            “Then what is rule seven?”

            “Always be specific when you lie, boss.”

            “Cute Jen.”

            “I learn from the best.”

            Kelly had moved in with Charlie after he had proposed and she had told her parents of the engagement. The quads were fast asleep in their old bedrooms.

            Jenny had changed into a white lace bustier with matching underwear completely seducing Jethro. Jenny was waiting for Jethro to cave in. She knew it was only a matter of time.

            In the back of Jethro’s mind, he never was going to cave. But of course he knew that Jenny thought he would. It was beginning to get harder and harder for Jethro to resist.

            “Will you just give in already? I’d like to get some sleep.” Jenny said impatiently.

            “Impatient much?”

            “Like DiNozzo when there’s food in the vicinity impatient, Jethro.”

            Jethro laughed at his wife’s dig at his senior field agent.

            “I know, I’m funny; it’s one of the many reasons why you put these on my hand all those years ago.”

            “Maybe, maybe not.”

            “Stop playing coy; Jethro, that’s my job. At least one of them.”

            “Is that so.”

            “Leroy Jethro Gibbs.”

            “Fine you win.”

            “Good and don’t act like you don’t want this. I know you do, it’s written all over your face.”

            Jethro didn’t say a word.

            “Remember you’re an easy read and I learned how to speak Gibbs a long time ago.”

            Some time later in the early hours of the following morning Jenny lay in Jethro’s arms, bustier and the matching underwear were scattered somewhere on the bedroom floor. The duo were under the bedding as expected and Jenny had her head resting on her husband’s bare chest, her finger tracing every inch of Jethro’s chest.

            “What’s going on in that head of yours?” Jenny asked as she turned the tables on Jethro.

            “Nothing.”

            “You’re thinking about Kelly,  our girls and the team. Stop worrying so much; Charlie is good for Kelly just like Tony is good for Ziva, Kasey is right for J, McGee and Abby belong together. The girls and their boyfriends are good. Be happy Jethro.”

            Jethro was a bit puzzled and bit awestruck at how both Jenny and Sam were able to decipher what he was thinking at any given moment.

            “Don’t try and figure it out, Jethro. Let Sam and I have this one mystery.”     

            With that last word that came out of Jenny’s mouth, Jethro thought of an impending case he along his team were going to be working on with assistance from Rachel and Sam. This was going to get interesting to say the least.
