[Drabble] Infatuated
TITLE: Infatuated
AUTHOR: nicis_anatomy
CHARACTER: Trent Kort, Jenny Shepard
GENRE: Gen, pre-het, episode tag for 4.23 ‘Trojan Horse’
RATING: PG
WORD COUNT: 200
SUMMARY: Kort was sure, his mission would be easy, but as soon as he enters the car, he realizes that this is the hardest thing he has ever done in his life ... Written for prompt #17 "Sweet" for drabble123 and challenge #084 "The five senses" for ncisdrabble100.
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.
~*~*~*~*
Opening the car door I am still confident that the mission I am about to fulfill isn’t harder than everything else I was assigned on in the past.
The task is easy: Distract Shepard by giving her wrong information that would raise false hope to get her out of the way. Everything is planned out and it shouldn’t take long.
I am wrong.
Being near her, feeling her body pressed against mine, is anything but easy. It is distracting and the emotions I suddenly feel inside of me are both, disconcerting and annoying.
I want to do what I came for. I want to get her out of my way.
But I can’t.
The scent inside the car is tempting, seducing me. She smells sweet and infatuating like nothing I’ve ever smelled before. It’s not her perfume alone, but something else; her passion, her strength, her hate… and also weakness, insecurity and anxiety, all hidden behind a cold mask that makes her even more attractive.
I instantly know that in another life, under different circumstances Jenny would be the one.
Here, she isn’t. She never can or will be.
For the first time in years I really hate my job.
- The End -
