[Drabble] Secrets that you keep
TITLE: Secrets that you keep
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTER: Jenny Shepard/Trent Kort
GENRE: Gen, General, Romance
RATING: PG-13
WORD COUNT: 300
SUMMARY: Sometimes, keeping secrets can be fun - especially, when you share them with someone special ... Written for prompt #16 "Secrets" for madame_director and challenge #77 "Restraint" for ncisdrabble100. Episode tag for 5.01 "Bury your dead".
WARNINGS: English still isn't my native language (although I wish) and the story is not beta'd.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters (although I'd love to own Action Figure Gibbs), nor am I making any money from them. If I would Season 5 would have ended different.
NOTE: Written for marciafan and gossipgirrlxoxo ;)
"Best way to keep a secret, keep it to yourself.
Second best, tell one other person if you must."
(Jenny in 4.14 "Blowback")
~*~*~*~*
Jenny didn't need to turn around to see who was approaching them. The look on Jethro’s face made clear that it was someone neither of them was happy to meet. Well ... officially, she was supposed to not like him - since she was the director, since he was the 'enemy', working undercover, and, of course, since this was an official meeting.
They had both agreed on keeping their feelings a secret, but sometimes that was easier said than done; pretending she hated him was getting harder every time they met on official business, and for a moment Jenny was struggling with herself, ready to forget every self-imposed restraint and instead doing what her heart told her to do; screw rationality, screw policy, and screw everything that was - so successfully - keeping her away from happiness.
Unfortunately, her conscience dissented by forcing the director into taking over and pushing her feelings aside.
She hated it when this happened, but she'd also learned that there wasn't anything she could do about it. At least, he seemed to understand. It was only a short flicker in his eyes, unnoticed by everyone else, but enough for her to know that she was doing the right thing.
She played her role, for once actually doing what Jethro had accused her of doing all the time, and it was easier than expected. Well ... until he decided to play with fire, challenging her self-control by requesting an immediate private briefing.
For a second, Jenny couldn't breathe. Images of all kinds of private meetings were crossing her mind. Then the director took over again, making clear that she was the one in control.
He smiled knowingly, and her heart skipped a beat, when she realized that keeping secrets could actually be fun when you shared them with the right person.
