Damian's POV

Later that afternoon y/n is helping me hang the photo she gave me in the office along with the drawing of Tony and Ziva with the human Tony and Ziva. The watercolor painting of Jethro as a puppy had already been hung up by the painting of Jethro, Fergal had given us.

"How does this look? Is it straight?" I asked as y/n sat in my office chair and I had hung the boudoir photo directly across from my desk.

"It needs to be tilted a bit more towards you," she said and I moved it towards me.

"Better?" I asked.

"Perfect," she said spinning in the chair "I'm glad you like the photo," I walked over to her and stopped her from spinning.

"Don't like it," I peck her lips "I love it."

She smiles and wrapped her arms around my neck as I held the chair "So where are you hanging the beautiful drawing of Tony and Ziva?"

I spun the chair to the wall behind my desk and pointed to an open space next to a drawing of Jethro that a fan had drawn for us the week after his passing and given to me as Demi and I walked into the arena "Right about there," I said "Right next to our Jetty boy."

"Mm. I like that," she said looking up at me as I stood behind the chair.

I kissed her forehead "I do too," I said as I spun the chair to face me.

"Whoa," said y/n "Head rush," she giggles.

"Sorry Baby," I said kissing her forehead "I'm starving. How about we go make lunch before I hang up the drawing?"

"Can we have Club sandwiches?" she said.

"How about my four cheese grilled cheese instead?" I said and her smile grew bigger.

"Yes! Please. You make a killer grilled cheese!" she pecks my lips.

I chuckled "So I need my sous chef," I said "Can you help?"

"Yes!" she said eagerly making me laugh.

"Then let's go!" I smiled.

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

In the kitchen.....

"Babe. Can you spread the mayo onto the bread?" I asked.

"Sure thing," she said as took out some sourdough bread "Tomorrow we have to set up the guest room. Make sure we have the cot in there too for Roux."

"We do have four extra bedrooms. Why not have one for Becky and Colby and one for Roux," I said. "We can go tomorrow and get a few little presents for Roux."

Y/N smiled up at me "Carino. You're so sweet," she pecks my cheek "And we can get some things for Becky and Colby too. You know a few things from around Orlando. Like truffles from Miller's," she bit her lip.

"Let me guess and truffles for you too," I chuckled and kissed her temple.

"If I must," she said with a giggle.

I hooked her chin and turned her head to me. I peck her lips "You got it," I said "And maybe some other little goodies."

She smiled up at me "Gracias Papi."

"You're welcome," I wink as I placed cheddar, provolone and swiss onto the sandwiches before sprinkling shredded parmesan onto the outside of one side of the sandwich and placing it onto the electric griddle "So what do you want with this?" I said sprinkling the other side with cheese.

"The rest of our fruit salad?" she asked leaning against kitchen island as I am making the grilled cheese.

"Sounds good," I said as y/n gave Tony and Ziva a piece of cheddar cheese "So with us babysitting Roux next Wednesday. I was thinking of making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Do you think she'll like that?"

" I will. If she doesn't want the sauce and meatballs it will be okay. She can have the noodles," y/n said as she wrapped her arms around my torso and rested her head against my back "I bet she would love helping Tio Luis in making it. I know I had a blast at that age just rolling the meat into a ball when my Dad made it," she kissed my shoulder blade as she buried her face into my back.

"Baby what are you doing?" I chuckled.

"Just getting my fill of you so I can have my you tank filled for when you leave this weekend," she murmured into my back.

I chuckled again "You have a me tank?" I asked as we stood there as I flipped the grilled cheese sandwiches.

She nodded "Yes," she said "But it's never full," she sighed.

I smirk as she continued to hold me "We can remedy that," I said "After lunch we dance?" I said as music is filling the house You Got A Way by Shania Twain played softly.

"I'd love that," she said as she began to softly sing along "It's in the way you want me. It's in the way you hold me. The way you show me just what love's made of. It's in the way we make love," as she walked to the fridge to grab the fruit salad as I flipped the finished sandwiches onto plates cutting them afterwards "You got a way with words. You get me smiling even when it hurts. There's no way to measure what your love is worth. I can't believe the way you get through to me," she smiled at me as I carried the plates to the table and held the chair for her.

"I do think we need this song on the playlist for the wedding. I wanna dance to it with you. It definitely does describe us," I brushed a stray hair from her face as To Love Somebody Michael Bublé plays.

She sings along "Man Barry Gibb is a fantastic song writer," she said.

"I think Robin Gibb helped with this one," I said and her mouth dropped as she was getting ready to eat a half of sandwich "What? I like to learn about the music," I smiled as she grins at me before she leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"Te amo mi vida," she said. (I love you my darling.)

"Te amo mi hermosa querida," I said. (I love you my beautiful darling.)

"Luis?" said y/n as she took some fruit salad.

"Yes?" I said.

"We also have to have a meal plan for next week. With Becky being a vegetarian. Would you be okay with plant based meat substitutes?"

"Of course Bebé," I said.

Never Be Anyone Else But You by Ricky Nelson began and she was singing along and I chuckle lightly "I like this," I said.

"Oh it's Ricky Nelson," she said.

"I can see that," I gesture to her phone.

" Oh. OH. Also fun fact he was the former brother in law of Mark Harmon the one and only Leroy Jethro Gibbs! Ricky was married to Mark's sister, Kristin. He is also the father of Gunnar and Matthew Nelson."

I chuckled "You definitely have a fountain of knowledge. We have to go to trivia night sometime. Maybe you, Demi, Matt and I can form a team!"

"And what would are team being called?! Brutality and the shrimp?!"

I chuckled "You're not a shrimp," I said.

"Okay vertically challenged," she giggles.

I smirk and rolled my eyes "No but we would need something catchy," I said.

"Hmm. Two Australians, a Puerto Rican and an American. Okay that sounds like the start of a very off colored joke," she said as a thousand years by Christina Perri began "What could it be? Oh! Sugar Skulls!"

I smirk "I actually like it obviously we would have to run it pass Demi and Matt but I think they'll like it. Incorporates Demi's and my tattoo and all of our loves for the macabre."

She bit her sandwich and chews before answering "Maybe we can do it tomorrow night? Matt does owe Demi and I appetizers," she said as she grabbed her phone "Just no killing Matt."

"I promise," I said "Scouts honor," I held up three fingers.

"Good," she said as she quickly texted Demi in the group chat we all had.

Tomorrow night.
Bar and Trivia night?
You, Matt, Luis and me.
Team name Sugar Skulls?

A few seconds later....

YES! Besides Matt owes us
appetizers. 😂

I know that already. 😂

Y/N quickly wrote.

Mozzarella sticks!!!!

I chuckled and wrote....

Best not to argue.
Our Terror Twins will
make us pay. 😂

Y/N playfully flipped me off.

"Fuck you Baby," she said.

"You did earlier," I wink.

She smacked my arm "Luis!" she laughed.

Before our phones ping and Demi had responded.

Fried pickles too!

Y/N responds

Duh! That too. I got
music covered and
probably movies. Just
call me the female
DiNozzo when it
comes to movies.

Matt responded

I got movies too! If
you don't have it y/n
I have your six.

Demi responds

So it starts at
six or six thirty?

We had all gone to trivia Thursdays before but just to watch and silently play along.

Y/N responds

Six so we will meet
at 5:45 pm?

Demi answered.

How about five and
we can have dinner there too?

Y/N looks at me "What do you think of that?" she asked.

I smiled before typing.

Sounds like a plan.
Appetizers and dinner. See
you 2 tomorrow night. We have
a few errands to run before
Becky, Colby and Roux get here
so we will be there near or around
five.

Y/N's phone pings and she smiled at me "This will be fun."

Both our phones ping as Demi responded

Making both of us laugh.

"You are right she is a cornball," said y/n shaking her head as she ate a bite of grilled cheese.

" I told you," I chuckled.

Y/N smiled "By the way Cariño this grilled cheese sandwich is kick ass. I love it!" she said.

"Gracias mi corazón," I said. (Thank you my heart.)

"You know something," said y/n after a few moments of silence.

" Hmm?" I said.

"It's September," she said and I smirk.

" I know Babe. What are you getting at?" I said.

"Well it is the start of spooky season. Can we decorate the house for it? And our movie nights become scary movie nights, " she bites her lower lip and raised her eyebrows.

I smirk and laughed lightly "Of course Mariposa," I said taking her hand and kissing the knuckles "And I suppose you already have ideas."

Her face lit up and she nods "I do. But we kinda have to get some things while we are out tomorrow," she said "Is that going to be a problem?"

"Para nada mariposa," I said reaching over and tucking her hair behind her ear before caressing her cheek with the side of my thumb. (Not at all butterfly.)

"Gracias Papi," she said leaning against my hand "So tonight is dinner at home and movie date night. So what are we going to watch?"

"We will find something on Netflix or Peacock," I said as we finished lunch.

"Nothing to scary," she pouts.

I smirk "What happened to scary movies?" I chuckled as we stood up. I started clearing the table as y/n grabbed plates too.

"Only if you don't mind me crawling into your lap and burying my face into your chest," she said.

"Baby you could crawl into my shirt and I would be okay," I said "We will start off with the more mild horror and thriller movies okay? I know how some things can spook you. I saw that with Ghost. So we can start off with Halloween. I know how much you enjoy Jamie Leigh Curtis. So we can do Halloween or even Scream or Child's Play," I said leaning down and kissing her forehead.

She looks up at me "Promise me you won't laugh or poke fun if I scream ?" she said a small smile on her beautiful face as she stood.

"Mariposa. I promise you I won't laugh, I won't poke fun. I do promise you that I will wrap," I wrapped my arms around her and she around me burying her face into my chest "my arms around you and hold you. And I have an idea of how to make sure you sleep tight tonight," I felt her smirk. I kissed the top of her head "Besides the older horror movies were to campy to be scary by today's standers. Besides Baby it will be an excuse for me to hold you all night,"she lifts her face to look at me and I wink at her making her blush.

"Now I believe someone promised me a dance after lunch," she said as she began Come Away With Me. I smiled and took her hand leading her to the living room. I spun her and brought her to me as we sway to the song "You know I did see a couple movies on Netflix that might be good and probably not as scary," she looks up at me "It's called The Babysitter and The Babysitter Killer Queen. The trailers look funny. They're more of horror slasher comedy flick but could we start with those. I mean I can still crawl into your lap," she smiled as we swayed and I kissed the tip of her nose.

"Okay. Then that's what will we start with. And how about pizza and wings for dinner?" I asked.

She nods "Could it be tenders instead?" she said "Buffalo style and pepperoni and cheese!" she gives me the puppy dog eyes she knows makes me weak.

"Yes," I said as she yeeps and hugs me before standing on her tip toes and kissing my lips.

"Luis you're the best," she said as Saving My Forever for You by Shanice began.

"Just next week we have a wrench in the movie plans. We have Roux. That means a G movie and nothing but hand holding," I teased.

"We can do a PG or R movie after we put Roux to bed," she suggested as we sway to the music as Fall In Love Again by Nick Lachey began.

"True," I said spinning her and she smiled at me "But I would suggest watching the movie on low so we don't disturb Roux and she wonders out," I said "And we still have to only snuggle and hold hands because we can pause the movie quickly but us making out we can't stop as quick and aside from that you're loud," I smirk.

She rolled her eyes "Luis Martinez," she scolds me playfully.

"I like it though," I said and she smirks as Helpless began.

"Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Hey! Ohh, I do I do I do I Dooo! Boy, you got me helpless!," she sang to me "Look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit I'm Helpless! Down for the count, and I'm drownin' in 'em. I have never been the type to try and grab the spotlight. We were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night. Laughin' at my sister as she's dazzling the room. Then you walked in and my heart went. "Boom!" making me smile "Tryin' to catch your eye from the side of the ballroom. Everybody's dancin' and the band's top volume. Grind to the rhythm as we wine and dine. Grab my sister, and whisper. "Yo, this one's mine." she sang "My sister made her way across the room to you. And I got nervous, thinking. "What's she gonna do?" She grabs you by the arm, I'm thinkin'. "I'm through". Then you look back at me and suddenly I'm Helpless!Look into your eyes.And the sky's the limit. I'm helpless. Down for the count. And I'm drownin' in 'em. I'm helpless!Look into your eyes. And the sky's the limit. I'm helpless!I'm down for the count. And I'm drownin' in 'em," I kissed her lips as I wrapped my arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck "You do know I am helpless wid you," she said holding my face as I rest my forehead against hers.

I lick my lips and nod "As I am with you," I said as our eyes met. I kissed her again pulling her close when y/n's phone pings. We both sigh as she grabbed her phone from the table.

"It's Becky," she said "Oh. Um," she blushed a bit "She is wondering if next Wednesday could be us watching Roux overnight. They'd like to stay at a hotel for the night."

I smirk "I guess that blows my plans of locking the bedroom door after Roux went to bed," I said and she smirks as I kissed her temple "Tell her it's alright with me as long as it's alright with you."

She nods and sighed lightly as You Had Me From Hello by Kenny Chesney began as she quickly texted.

Sure thing. Have fun. 😉

"You're wicked," I said making her giggle as I sat on the sofa and pulled her next to me as she snuggled against me as Forever began. She laid her head on my chest as I play with her hair and I prop my feet on the coffee table "So about the moo-" I hear a soft snore and looked down y/n has fallen asleep. I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her and shift to have us both laying down. I followed her quickly into dream land.

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Y/N and I wake up about an two and half hours later.

"Shit did we fall asleep?" she said wiping the sleep from her eyes.

I nod "Our bodies are just getting used to the states again," I said as I'll Be Your Everything by Tommy Page began as her Love Under The Stars playlist had continued while we were asleep.

"Oh shit. That must've continued while we were asleep," she said reaching for her phone and turning off Spotify "Excuse me Babe. I have to plug this in and also I have to pee."

I unwrapped my arms from around her "I will order dinner," I said.

She nodded as she plugs in her phone "Okay," she said as she and the dogs headed to the bedroom "Why don't you turn on the tv and get Netflix brought up."

"Right after I order. You want a salad too?" I called out.

"Sounds better with chicken tenders then pizza with chicken fingers. Get the salad and chicken tenders!" she called back.

"Positive?" I asked no answer so I went to the bedroom door as I knew she had to have gone into the bathroom and I waited by the door. She came out and gasped.

"How long have you been standing there?" she asked.

"Not long. Positive you want salad and chicken tenders and not pizza and chicken tenders?" I said.

She nods "Yes. Make sure it's a chef salad that way I can add the tenders to the salad," she said with a smile.

"I - that actually sounds good," I said.

"Baby. Stick with me and I will have you loving Buffalo food in no time," she said.

"Well I already love Buffalo," I said.

"You do?" she asked.

"Of course. It gave me you," I said.

"Sweet talker," she teased.

"Always with you," I said pecking her lips before I called in our order "Forty five minutes to an hour. Want to go start the movie while we wait?"

She nods "Sounds like a plan but first," she said "I'm changing into jammies to be more comfortable," as she grabbed her jammies and quickly changed.

" What the fuck," I said and quickly changed into basketball shorts "That's much better," I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head "Now let's go watch The Babysitter."

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

After dinner we are cuddled on the couch watching the sequel to The Babysitter called The Babysitter: Killer Queen. Y/N has been giggling throughout both movies. At least this was a nice balance of horror and comedy.

"Y/N?" I said.

"Hmm?" she tilted her head up to look at me.

"Thank you," I smiled at her.

"For?" she asked slightly confused.

"Suggesting horror movies for our movie nights. I know it's not exactly your comfort zone but you trying means a lot to me."

"Of course Cariño," she said as I leaned forward and kissed her "You have watched movies I love so it's time I return the favor. You mean a lot to me besides if it's not to scary I will be okay. If I can watch ghost shows in the dark and sleep like a baby. I think I can handle a horror movie especially since you're here," she said with a smile "And since you know what calms me," she winks. I traced her jawline with my pointer finger.

"That I do," I hooked her chin with my finger pulling her face to me and kissing her lips.

She smiled against my lips before she moved up my body and deepens the kiss as she wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrap my arms around her torso.

"Let's go to bed," I said pulling back from the kiss.

"But the moo-" I put a finger to her lips.

"Which will be here tomorrow. Tonight I wanna make up for next Wednesday," I smirk.

She smirks "Then," I threw her over my shoulder as I stood as I shut off the tv and carried her to the bedroom.
