Chapter Fifty Six
Damian's POV
Monday morning I am awaken by a kiss to the lips as my ears are filled with the sounds of All-4-One's So Much In Love. I open my eyes and y/n swam into view.
"Morning Luis," she said.
"Perfect way to wake up," I said grabbing my glasses and putting them on.
"You're not a so bad view yourself. Sorry about falling asleep. What's your idea?" she asked.
"Oh. The remembrance table. Why not get custom frames. You know like their names engraved on them. And maybe like for your Mom a butterfly engraved on it. You know a little something they loved engraved as well. Then we can hang all the pictures up on a wall after the wedding?"
Y/N's eyes became glassy from tears "I love that idea," she said kissing me "It is absolutely perfect," I wipe her tears away and she mine as a few from my eyes fell "We can hang them on the bare wall in the living room. So everyone who visits can see our loved ones. Baby. That's brilliant!" she smiles "By the way Demi texted and wants to know if we want to go for a early morning work out. Well an eight am work out," as I look at the clock it was seven thirty.
"Text her we will meet her at the gym in a few minutes. We just have to change into work out clothes," I said. She nodded and added to our group chat.
We have to change
be there in 15?
Meet you at the gym.
"She will meet us at the gym," said y/n.
"I can see," I chuckled as I gesture to y/n's phone.
She giggles "I forgot," she said.
I shook my head "Babe. Sometimes your head is in the clouds," I wink.
She playfully stuck her tongue out at me as she rolls to her back to get up as (They Long to Be) Close to You by The Carpenters began. Y/N sang along with the extremely talented the late Karen Carpenter. She got out of bed. I watched as y/n drifted across the room.
"On the day that you were born the angels got together. And decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of black. And starlight in your eyes of brown," she sang to me changing the words slightly from gold to black and blue to brown.
I smiled as I got up. I tap her on her shoulder as she was knelt down by her luggage. Trying to find her sports bra and leggings. She tilted her head up as We've Only Just Begun by The Carpenters began.
"Dance with me," I said.
"What about Demi?" she asked.
"She said she'd meet us at the gym. So come on," I held out my hand. She smiled as she placed her hand in mine and I pulled her up to her full height as we began to dance.
"Babe. You have definitely opened my mind to so much music it's astounding. Like never in a million years did I think or even imagine dancing to The Carpenters let alone actually know the lyrics to their songs. Thank you."
She giggles lightly looking up at me. She rubbed the back of my neck "Babe. When you grow up with parents who may not have had a musical bone in their body but loved music you learn to love it. Also music was my favorite subject in school," she smiles as I Choose You by Amanda Jordan plays.
The lyrics Boy I love you just the way you are. Only thing you need to change is my last name, cause met my ears as y/n mouthed them to me.
"Next year amor. Next year," I said as I spun her "But right now let's meet Demi before she murders both us."
Y/N giggles but nods "She can easily throw me around like a toddler. Let's go," she said as we quickly changed and head to the gym.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
"Bout time you two got here. Just had to get that pre workout workout in huh?" teased Demi.
"No," I said "We were getting ready. I just felt the need to dance with my beautiful fiancee," I said picking up weights. Y/N grabbing a nearby treadmill.
"Yeah the mattress mambo," laughed Demi smirking at both of us.
"Demi. No. Completely clothed dancing. Luis and I love just dancing for no particular reason," she smiled "A small simple gesture."
Demi smiled "I know. Just teasing. Look I think it's sweet how you two still just dance. Something so simple but so romantic at the same time. It's how you guys fell in love and you two keep that connection," she said as she joined y/n on the treadmills.
"We chose the theme for our wedding," said y/n as she began her warm up on the treadmill.
"You have?" asked Demi smiling as she already knew she was one of two matron of honors.
"Yep. Eternally Yours," said y/n with a grin "You don't mind wearing plum. Do you?"
Demi shook her head "Not at all. What are the colors?"
"Black and Purple," said y/n as Demi was walking at the same speed as y/n. I stood near them doing reps with twenty pound weights.
Demi smirks "Can't go wrong with black," she said.
Y/N laughed lightly "And much like you I am doing a black dress. I never really ever saw myself in white. Even as a little girl I knew I wanted a color dress. Of course back when I was little I wanted the princess dress," she air quoted princess dress "But I never was able to picture myself in it. If that makes sense."
Demi nodded "Absolutely. Plus as a little girl you're hit with your a princess. You're going to marry the prince garbage. But once you get older you realize who your type is and who your actual prince is," she said as y/n looks at me.
"Yeah who knew that my prince would be a six foot five Puerto Rican with tattoos, a smile that can make me feel all types of ways, deep brown eyes that make my heart skip a beat. But my prince is also sweet, funny, caring, smart, loving, kind, is an amazing friend, has a heart of gold and so much more. If he could see what I see whenever I look at him," she said as I swallow a lump in my throat "Back before Luis and I met. I never knew love and now that I do," y/n wipes away tears.
Demi smiled at me "You got a good one mate," she said before looking at y/n "Same goes for you."
"I know," said y/n.
"And my princess is a five foot six woman who in her own words is a mixed mutt. Beautiful y/e/c eyes that make my heart skip a few thousand beats a day. A smile that would make me do anything she asked me too. She also happens to be sweet, smart, funny, caring, loving and amazing friend who had me from hello. She is everything and more than I could ask for," I said. Y/N stopped and got off the treadmill. I put the weights down as she leaps into my arms and wrapped her legs around me. I kissed her as Demi laughed lightly before wiping away a few tears "Look at that. We have the Eradicator herself crying."
"Shut up," said Demi as I put y/n on her feet as she wipes away tears "I'm just so happy for you two. I can't help I have girlie feelings."
Y/N smiles as she got back on the treadmill "Don't worry Demi. I will make sure he pays later," she winks at me.
"Oh yuck," said Demi laughing as she smacked y/n's arm "Thanks for that image."
Y/N laughed as she walked "Babe. Get back to the workout," she gestures to the weights abandoned on the floor.
I chuckled as I grabbed the weights and we worked out. I had my ear buds in but can see y/n and Demi talking in the mirror. They're laughing and smiling as they walked. About an hour or so later we're finishing up the work out.
We stood around for a few minutes.
"You guys ready for Berlin?" asked y/n.
Demi and I looked at each other "Yes," I said.
"I'm just so happy I get to come along this time," said y/n.
I grinned putting my arm around y/n's waist "Me too and I am so glad we got the ticket fixed so we are on the same flight," I said.
"Me too," said y/n "It is also nice not having to worry about school. First time in twenty one years I don't need to think about coming up with lessons or worry about getting into business casual clothes."
"You know you should just be a tutor. Even here with us," said Demi "Look how many kids we have backstage. Especially if they come along with their Dads or Moms."
"You know that ain't a half bad idea," I said.
"Yeah. But the only one who really did bring their baby along was Becks and Colby. Becks didn't renew her contract and Colby is hurt. Hence why they're flying out to us in a couple weeks to visit," said y/n.
"Y/N!" said Demi "We have plenty of kids running around backstage. You're phenomenal with kids. Even if it isn't a tutor most the guys and girls love you and they'd probably be okay with leaving their kids with you while they work. You should really talk with Paul! That way you can be on the road and I won't have to listen to how much this one," she smacked my arm "misses you."
"Hey," I laughed "I am not that bad."
"Dude you had her own best friend wanting to throw you off a bridge," said Demi with a laugh "And Fergal isn't like that. You are that bad. "
"Honestly I don't think I am cut out for the road life. Besides we have Tony and Ziva to think about. I don't want to leave them that often," said y/n shaking her head "Tony and Ziva are most comfortable being home."
"Get a bus!" said Demi "Come on. You're literally the most organized person I know. Imagine being a help backstage."
"I don't know," said y/n chewing her lower lip "I think Luis loves driving from town to town."
"I wouldn't mind not driving if it means climbing onto a bus and being able to be with you at the end of a rough night at work. We bring Tony and Ziva along with us. Tony is happy just having his turtles and you know Ziva will love playing with everyone as long as they throw her the ball," I said and y/n smiles.
She tilted her head "Okay. Can I think about it? I can see this would mean a lot to you," I grabbed her and hugged her "But definitely not promising anything." I knew she was more of a home body and yes we had agreed to have our days of being separated but I was being selfish "Maybe I can offer a compromise?"
We were walking towards the elevator "What's that?" I asked.
"I travel to the foreign countries since those are normally a week long. Sherry can watch Tony and Ziva then and if your schedule is close to home. I come along but otherwise I wait for you for the five days you're gone. You and I speak on FaceTime. But I do think it's better to be just a tutor. I'm just exhausted from being a teacher."
"Okay. We will try that for a while and you come to all the Premium Live Events? "
"Alright," said y/n as we stepped on the elevator "Now that I won't mind."
"Great," I said as we walked towards our room after saying goodbye to Demi.
"Besides Babe. Imagine the welcome home from me to you," she winks as I opened our hotel room door.
I thought for a moment "I do enjoy my welcome homes," I said with a smirk as y/n walked in.
"Then there we go. Also I can easily tutor over zoom if I do come with you periodically on the west coast or Hawaii. Definitely Hawaii," she nodded.
I chuckled "Just Hawaii?" I asked.
"There is also Puerto Rico but obviously that's already a given," she said making me chuckle as I shut the door.
"Well we can easily remedy that. How about New Year's?" I said "We have two weeks off at the end of December. We spend Christmas with m-our family in New York and then December twenty sixth we fly to Puerto Rico for a week."
"Really?" she asked.
"Yeah. I want to show you my home country. My island," I said pulling her into my lap as I sat on the bed.
"I'd like that," she smiled.
"Then it's settled. Our first vacation is to Puerto Rico," I said kissing her cheek.
She looks at me and smiled "I can't wait," she said as she rested her forehead against mine "Just no bringing home any goats."
I laughed before tickling her making her laugh. We are tickling each other when a knock came on the door.
"I better get that," I said as I got off the bed and opened the door. It's Fergal "Hey man."
"Hey. Demi told me what room you were in when I saw her downstairs. I came to give y/n and you this," he held up a bag.
"Come on in Fergie," called y/n as I stepped aside to allow him in. Y/N sat cross legged on the bed and I joined her. Fergal walked over and placed the bag in front of y/n.
"Go ahead," said Fergal gesturing to the bag.
Y/N opened the bag and pulled out a large box. She looks at it before looking at me "Ready?" she asked. I nodded and we both took the box top off. Y/N sobs. It was a beautiful painting of Jethro. She quickly hands it to me before getting off the bed and threw her arms around Fergal. She was crying hard. As he wrapped her in a warm hug "Th-th-th-thank y-y-y-you," she manged to choke out.
Fergal rubbed her back still hugging her "No problem Beans," he said as he was crying too.
I am looking at the painting as tears of my own fell. I put the box on the bed and joined y/n and Fergal.
"Fergal this was the sweetest thing you could have ever done. Thank you," I said holding out my hand and he shook it still holding y/n as she was still crying. I placed a hand on her back.She turned to me and her face was soaked as is Fergal's t-shirt. She threw her arms around me and I lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I held her close as she cried.
"I'm glad you like it," said Fergal shoving his hands into his pockets.
"We love it," I said rubbing y/n's back.
Y/N turned to look at Fergal "Yes. I'm sorry for crying," she said as I sat on the bed putting y/n in my lap.
"No. No. I completely understand," said Fergal with a small smile "Vero pretty much warned me it would happen."
Y/N reached out a grabbed Fergal's wrist "Fergie. This painting of Jethro is perfect. Thank you for the sweet and thoughtful gift. You know it means the world to Luis and I," she said.
Fergal reached up and wipes away the tears that fell from his eyes "Because y/n you mean a lot to me. Hell you're my baby sister and best friend. Fuck," he said his tears falling from his cheeks "I am who you asked to walk you down the aisle at your wedding," he laughed through the tears as did we "I am so honored to be that for you."
"Oh. Fergie! I have also picked the song we will dance to at the wedding for our brother and sister dance," smiled y/n.
"You did? Did you?" he asked with a smirk "Let me guess Wonderful Tonight."
"Fuck no. My feet don't need to be injured," she teased playfully giving his shoulder a small shove "Unforgettable by Nat King and Natalie Cole. That way all we have to do is sway and you don't have to move your feet."
"I like that idea," he said.
"My feet do too," said y/n causing me to bury my face into y/n's back as to hide my laughter but my snort gave me away.
"Hey. I am not that bad," said Fergal with a pout.
"Yes. Yes you are," said y/n with a laugh "But it's okay. You're better at a lot of other things."
Fergal grumbled "I will see you two butt heads at the arena," he said turning to leave. He walked to the door and gave a wave before opening the door and stepped from the room as he did he pulled the door closed.
"Speaking of arena. We better get ready to go. I have to be there at two," I said checking the clock.
"Okay," she said grabbing the box the painting is in before kissing the glass "Miss you my boy."
"Papá does too," I said running a hand over the snout "When we get home this goes right in the foyer."
She nodded with a smile as she put the lid of the box back on and placed the box into her luggage.
"Let's get going," she said grabbing my small carryon with my wrestling stuff and her purse.
I chuckled "You just want to see everyone don't you?" I said.
"Josh and I found a new true crime story we want to start!" she said laughing as she grabbed a small bag that had her iPad, a change of clothes in case she drops something on her self and sneakers that are much more comfortable to walk the arena.
I chuckled and headed to the door opening it "Well true crime can't wait. Let's go," I gesture for her to head out. I shook my head as we left. I pulled the door closed and took her hand as we head to the elevators.
