"I'm a guy with the most beautiful girlfriend in the universe," John told Jen with a soft snort. "Of course, I'm going to like the idea of skinny dipping."
He held her close as she fell asleep, and for a bit, he found himself lying there, wide awake, almost unable to believe that this had finally happened between them. Part of him was almost afraid that if he did fall asleep, he'd wake up in the morning to find it was just a dream.
Finally, though, he couldn't stay awake any longer, and his eyes slid shut.
The next morning, he woke up when he felt Jen moving his arms, followed by her kissing him. Smiling, he opened his eyes to look at her. No dream.
"Morning," he murmured, reaching up to ran his fingers through her hair. When she asked if anyone would notice if they played hooky, he sighed, wishing they could because he really would have liked just to spend the day with her. "Unfortunately, I think Gibbs would. I have to start follow-ups on the investigation you did the translation for, and I don't think Tim and Allie would like me dumping it on them."
He raised his eyebrows as he looked at her. "But I definitely want to play hooky after all this is done."
