Chapter Seventy One
Narrator's POV
Luis drove the streets of Orlando on the way to Sherry's house to pick up Tony and Ziva. Y/N had asked to be dropped off beforehand because she wasn't feeling to well. She had thrown up at the airport and said she was feeling better but just wanted to lay down before the dogs got back. She knew they were going to be happy to see her even if it was only for a day and half.
Luis is obviously worried because y/n had basically gotten by the gate and looked like she was going to pass out before she hightailed it to the bathroom. She told Luis it wasn't pretty but she was sure she left breakfast behind in the bathroom.
He felt awful for her especially since they had the flight back to Orlando. She fell asleep almost as soon as they had gotten into the air. She slept nearly the entire time before he had to wake her up as they were getting ready to land and de-board the plane.
But right now he was at Sherry's and was ready to pick up their two fur babies. He walked up her sidewalk and knocked on her front door. The dogs barked as Sherry came to open the door.
"Luis. Hi," she said "Where's y/n?" she asked as Tony and Ziva zoomed circles around his legs.
"Got sick. So I dropped her off at home and then I came to get these two lug nuts," he said as she hands him their leashes and harnesses.
"Oh no. Will she be able to go to Berlin with you?" she asked.
Luis nods "Yeah. I think it was the food we ate before we flew home," he said as to many thoughts raced through his mind "Thanks Sherry. We will bring these two back at about two Thursday afternoon."
She nods and smiled "Tell y/n I hope she feels better," she said.
"I will," said Luis "Come on. Let's go home to Mama," he told Tony and Ziva who raced to his car.
Damian's POV
"You two have to wait until I open the door to get in," I said to Tony and Ziva as they jumped up onto the door. I opened the passenger door and they both leapt in. I throw their leashes and harnesses onto the floorboard before shutting the passenger door and going round the front of the car and got in "Let's get back to Mama. She's excited to see you two. But she isn't feeling well. So we gotta take care of her." I drove home as quickly as the law allowed. Once I got home I pulled into the garage and got out allowing Tony and Ziva to hop out of the driver's side. We entered the house through the garage and both took off as if they had been shot from the barrel of a gun."Slow down you two!" I scold quietly as to not disturb y/n if she was sleeping. But as I came into the living room. There was y/n sitting up looking a bit worse for the wear but seemingly better than she was.
"Hello my babies," she said as Tony and Ziva jumped all over her, licking her and rubbing on her "And hello to my other Baby."
"Feel better?" I asked.
"Much. Taking that half hour nap while you went to get the pups and the small ginger ale you got me before you left helped. I think it was that damn coffee I had. I normally don't get such a big one from Starbucks but I did today and I guess my body was like naw bitch this is too much," she grabbed my hand and pulled me beside her "Babe also don't worry. Okay. I am fine," she kissed my cheek "I know you have probably had six thousand things go through your mind. I'm not pregnant can't be. Aunt Flo showed up," she said as she laughed "So much for making the bed rock tonight."
I chuckled as my first thought was she was pregnant as obviously we aren't exactly using protection. Sure she takes birth control but that's not a hundred percent effective always "Well I guess we make up for it in the mile high city huh?" I said with a smirk.
"Yep. Just lovely I had plans for the plane too," she pouts as she curled up next to me and I wrapped an arm around her "Especially since it is my birthday. I wanted to," I put a hand over her mouth.
"I had those plans too. Oh well. We have other plane rides," I said "We have to obviously fly to Puerto Rico," she looks up at me and blushed.
"Luis Martinez!" she playfully scolds
"What?" I asked "You were thinking the same thing," I teased.
"I am. I mean I was," she said giggling "Fuck. Now you're clocking me!"
"Cariño, he podido verte desde el primer día," I said kissing her lips. (Sweetheart. I have been able to clock you since day one.)
"No," she said against my lips.
"Sí," I said against her lips and I broke the kiss and smile at her "Cariño, he podido y siempre podré cronometrarte," I whisper to her. (Baby. I have and I always will be able to clock you.)
"Back at you Baby," she said as she brought my face and lips back to her face and lips. She kissed me deeply. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into my lap but we are interrupted by a knock on the door. We broke the kiss as Tony and Ziva bark like mad.
"I'll get it," I said as y/n slid off my lap. I went to the door and it's the florist.
"Delivery for y/n," he said holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
"Babe!" I called and y/n came to my side "These are for you."
"Oh," she said as the delivery man hands her the bouquet, I hand him a twenty, he leaves and I closed the door as she took the card to read it "They're from Maddie and George " she smiles "Happy Birthday y/n. We miss you so."
"Oh wow. I hope they're doing well," I said as y/n placed the flowers on the coffee table and Ziva and Tony both smells them.
"They are. I talked to Maddie a couple days ago and George is doing well with rehab. Cecilia and Wayne love the house. Viv loves her room. They're all good."
"That's great," I said.
"They're not to eat," said y/n quickly as Tony went to eat a tulip. He stopped and looked at her "I said what I said sir," as she sat and I sat beside her.
"That was nice of Maddie and George to send you these beautiful flowers," I said as she laid her head on my chest.
She nodded "First birthday I am not in New York and not going to lie it seems weird. But honestly," she tilts her head up "I love it. Yes. I will miss friends and family but I really enjoy being with you more than anything," she said "Granted we will be in the air for a portion of my birthday but being able to snuggle you will make up for not being on the ground on my birthday."
I chuckled and kissed her forehead "Well most woman want to be swept off their feet on her birthday by their significant other. I am actually taking you off your feet. Okay so I have help with a plane," she giggles and pats my cheek.
"Baby you'll always sweep me off my feet. Both literally and figuratively," she said as I fiddle with my phone as her eyes fell to my phone and she hit play on our playlist.
It's You by Westlife began and I smirk "Let me guess this is a you add?" I asked.
"Listen to it," she whispered as she snuggled into my chest as she drapes her arm across my torso. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back onto the sofa. I am listening to the lyrics and tears spring to my eyes. I pick my head up and the end is when it hit me and tears spilled down.
So if I get to grow old (oh if I get to grow old)
With many years behind me (many years behind me)
There's only one thing I want (aah)
One thing I need beside me
For all that you are
For everything you do
For all that you've done
Just for showing me the truth
It's you
It's you
Baby it's you
"Y/N?" I said as her head immediately picked up off my chest.
"Oh Luis," she said as tears sprang to her eyes as she grabbed my face and wiping away my tears before she kissed my lips. I wrapped my arm around her torso and deepen the kiss. She pulled back "I didn't mean to make you cry."
I took my glasses off and wiped away more tears "No. These. These are happy tears. I promise. I the lyrics. I," I smiled at her "Lo mismo digo, nena. Lo mismo digo." (Ditto. Babe. Ditto.)
She grins and kissed me "Lo mismo digo Amor. Siempre y para siempre lo mismo," she said against my lips as She's All I Ever Had by Ricky Martin came on causing her to break the kiss she looked at my phone and back at me and I blushed lightly. (Same here, Love. Always and forever the same.)
"Okay so this was me," I said as I knew she loved Ricky but she never thought of adding his music.
She laughed lightly before kissing me as tears spilled down her cheeks "Okay we are even," she said and we laughed.
Before I decided to serenade her with the last part of the song in Spanish.
"Así es como me hace sentir. Es lo único que es real. Es la forma en que ella entiende. Ella es mi amante, es mi amiga. Cuando la miro a los ojos. Es lo que siento por dentro. Como el hombre que quiero ser. Ella es todo lo que necesitaré. Aquí estoy," I sang as she sat facing me and my hand on her lower back making sure she didn't fall off the sofa. (It's the way she makes me feel. It's the only thing that's real. It's the way she understands. She's my lover, she's my friend. When I look into her eyes. It's the way I feel inside. Like the man I wanna be. She's all I'll ever need. Here I am.)
She smiles at me and kissed my cheek as Happy Anywhere by Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefania began. I knew she loved Blake and Gwen so I knew she added this but it sums up our life and our love. I moved to stand and I offered her my hand and she accepted it and we began dancing. It was not quite slow and it wasn't fast it was an easy going dance as we just let the song move us. Tony and Ziva were sound asleep on the end of the sofa side by side.
I would be lying if I told you that she hadn't turned me into a country fan as she had turned me into a full fledged one just with the songs she chose to add to our playlist that was probably close to two hundred songs by now and well over fifteen hours worth of music. But from top to bottom so far told the story of our life and how we fell in love and continue to be in love. In Case You Didn't Know by Brett Young began and she smiles at me as I took her hand in mine and I twirl her into me as I held her close and we danced. The song had been an add on by me as soon as I heard it and it perfectly encapsulated the night we met especially since it was after that second kiss on the dance floor did me in. I was hers from that point forward.
"I know I didn't add this," she murmured softly "So are you guilty or is Spotify? I am judging by the way your heart just skipped a beat it was you."
I smiled as she hadn't even looked at me and she was able to clock me "You caught me. I might just be a country music fan. Thanks to you."
She picked her head up and looked up at me as we stopped dancing. She stood on tip toe and kissed me "In case you didn't know I'm crazy about you," she said as she pulled back from the kiss.
"In case you didn't know I'm crazy about you and I couldn't live this life without you," I said as Lost In Your Eyes by Debbie Gibson and Joey McIntyre began. I know y/n added because I was sitting next to her as she did. We danced as we looked into each other's eyes. Her arms wrapped around my neck and my arms were wrapped around her waist. My hands resting on the small of her back. If I could only freeze this moment and keep it in my pocket I would. I loved this and I loved her even more. She smiled as the song ended and she stifled a small yawn as Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden began "Why don't we go take a nap?"
She nodded sleepily as I whistle for the dogs and they follow us to the bedroom because we all could use a nap. I just allowed the music to continue to play as we snuggled into the bed. The dogs laying at our feet. It wasn't long before we both fell into a peaceful and deep slumber.
