Chapter Twenty Five
Damian's POV
"Babe. Move that fine ass. We're going to be late for your appointment at the dress shop," I called as I grabbed my keys and wallet from the table by our front door.
"I'm coming," she said as she came out with the nude heels she had bought yesterday in her hand before she sat to put on her sneakers "Had to make sure I had a strapless bra on. One that wasn't too sexy," she pulled on a sock.
I raised an eyebrow "I don't mind," I chuckled.
She looks over her shoulder at me and smiled before shaking her head "Babe. What am going to do with you," she playfully teased.
"Spank me?" I said.
"Later," she said as she quickly tied her sneakers and pops up from the sofa "Right now I have to find a dress. Babe. You don't know how easy you have it. Black tux, white button down and black tie and you're done. Meanwhile I have to worry about shoes, hair, make up, accessories and most importantly the dress. I don't know what color I am going to go with. Should I do purple? Black? Dark green? Pink?"
I smiled as I opened the front door stepping aside to allow her to go first. "Babe, you're going to look good in any dress you choose." I pulled the door close as we stepped onto the front porch. "And we can look in Cleveland for accessories. I do have time off. I don't have to work to twenty four seven for the whole week. I'm basically free from like one to eight on Tuesday to Thursday. Friday is when work really gets underway."
She pouts as I opened the passenger door and y/n got in. I went to the drivers side and got in. It started up with a roar. I revved the engine before putting the car into gear. Pulling out of our driveway as y/n fiddled with the stereo. A slow steady sound comes out of the speakers as Purple Rain by Prince began.
"This isn't our normal playlist," I said.
"No. It's my Rock playlist," she said as she closed her eyes allowing the music to wash over her.
"Really?" I asked.
She nods "Yep," she said.
"Thanks Amor," I said.
"Eres bienvenido amor," she said (You're welcome Love.) I chuckled and she opened her eyes and looked at me "What's so funny?" she said.
"When we first met you literally only knew Papi and hadn't a clue what you said. Now you're speaking Spanish without giving it a thought. I guess you've definitely learned my tongue," I said.
"I guess you have rubbed off in me. I mean on me," she smirks.
I chuckled "Naughty girl," I said with a wink.
She giggles as I pulled into the dress shop parking lot.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
She has been trying on dresses for the better part of an hour. She had tried on so many dresses she still hadn't found a single one she liked. Even though she looked gorgeous in all of them. I was running on empty. I was slouched on a sofa in the dress shop waiting for y/n to come out. I heard the dressing room door open. I knew it was y/n as we were the only ones here. Y/N came out of the dressing room. I sat up and my eyes went wide. My mouth dropped. She was stunning. It was a black spaghetti strap dress with a sweetheart neckline that was covered in rhinestones with a slit up past her knee. It hugged her in all the right places. It was backless. The scoop back went down to her lower back.
"Close your mouth Papi. You're gonna catch flys," she said as she got on the platform in front of the mirrors and her mouth dropped.
"Close your mouth Mami. You're gonna catch flys," I tease.
"Oh my God," she said looking at herself in the three mirrors "And oh shit it makes my ass look good too."
I nodded "It makes your everything look good," I said biting my lip as my eyes roam over her body.
She rolled her eyes "Not here Luis," she said through gritted teeth.
"Can't I just admire my beautiful girlfriend?" I asked.
"You can. But I know what that lip bite means too. You have thoughts," she said.
I arched an eyebrow "I am not having those thoughts. I am thinking how all my buddies are going to be so jealous that I have you on my arm."
"Let em be jealous Babe. I'm on your arm and in our bed," she said "So what do you think? This dress?"
I nodded "Yes. One million percent yes!" I said "So is this a yes to the dress?"
She nods as she turned around looking at herself in every angle "Joder, me veo bien," she said. (Fuck. I look good.)
I stood up and got on the platform with her. I stopped her as she was checking herself out in the mirror "Eso es lo que haces, nena. Definitivamente lo haces," I said. (That you do Babe. That you definitely do.) I held onto her hips "Mmmm. I can't wait to walk into that church and reception with you on my arm," she smiled at me in the mirror.
"Babe," she said even though she had three and half inch heels on I still tower over her by a wide margin.
I wrapped an arm around her waist. "And I can't wait to hold you in my arms on the dance floor," I said.
She tilted her head and smiles "My forever sweet talker," she said as the sales woman came over.
"So?" she asked.
"Yes. This is definitely the one," her eyes looking at me in the mirror. The sales lady smirks as she knew it wasn't the dress she was talking about.
"I wouldn't lose this one," she said looking at me.
"Trust me Ma'am. I'm not," I said.
"I better go change back into a pumpkin now," said y/n as I helped her off the platform.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Back home y/n hung the garment bag that contained her dress with my tuxedo. She came out of the closet and sat down on the bed where I was lounging with the dogs. She swung her legs up onto the bed. Tony laid beside her. She scratched his belly. I was on my phone trying to find a gift for y/n. A beautiful bracelet to go with her dress as she thought a necklace with the rhinestones running along the sweetheart neckline would be a bit much.
"Whatcha looking at?" as y/n tries to peek at my phone.
I tutted at her "It's a surprise. For the moment for my eyes only," I said closing my phone.
She arched an eyebrow at me "Luis?" she said.
I put a hand on her cheek "It is a surprise," I said booping her nose "You will see later," I smiled as I had found a diamond tennis bracelet with matching stud earrings in Cleveland that I could pick up as I had ordered and paid for it I could surprise her on Sunday after Summer Slam. As it looked right now. She would have to deal with some feelings that would make it hard for her. As of right now it looks like her best friend/big brother was going to betray her boyfriend. I know she knows it's not real but it's still going to be hard.
She searched my face "Luis. What aren't you telling me?" she said.
Fuck she knew me to well.
"Ferg is going to have to betray me on screen," I said "We're splitting. Rhea and Damian and then Finn, JD, Carlito, Dominik..... and Liv."
Her eyes grew a bit "Well as long as Ferg doesn't hurt you even by accident. It will be fine. I kinda had an inkling this was coming. You and Dem have both transitioned so effortlessly into faces. You'll be fine," she said with a small shrug.
"So you're not going to be upset?" I asked.
"Of course I will be upset. I mean after all I also happen to be in love Damian Priest too," she said "Of course I'm going to be livid."
I laughed "Babe," I said kissing her forehead "You're absolutely priceless."
"You best believe it," she grabbed my face and kissed me "It will take some getting used to too. I mean big brother fighting my boyfriend. As long as you are both safe. I will be okay. Just don't hurt Ferg either. I mean if he hurts you I will kick his ass. But if you hurt Ferg. I might have to think of a punishment for you because I don't want to kick your ass. Spank it? Yes but not kick it."I laughed and shook my head. As my text went off. I sighed. It was the company confirming the flight to Japan and telling me to make sure I have my passport yada yada."I hate that you are going to be halfway around the world. You're going to be awake when I'm asleep and vice versa. You're going to be in the ring and working while I'm awake. Stupid thirteen hour time difference," she pouts crossing her arms.
"Babe. We are going to figure it out," I said "We have a window where we are both awake and free. We just have to find it. Besides Demi is staying in the states. She is literally five minutes away. You two can have girls day for a few days."
"I adore Demi and she has become like a little sister to me but it's still not the same as having my boyfriend here with me. Or even being in at the very least same country and continent as me."
Yes. That's what hurts. We have been apart sure. We were apart for Clash and Backlash. But we still talked as it wasn't a half a day ahead of each other. Japan is great but it's also thirteen hours ahead of Orlando. Scotland and France were a heck of a lot closer in time. And Toronto she flew in to meet me after asking Demi to look after the dogs for a few days. I know I have scared the shit out of her especially at Clash and Money In the Bank. Fergal told me it took him and Dominik to hold her back as to not run out there when she knew I was out of it at Money In The Bank. I don't think she let me go for a good five minutes when I got backstage. She was in absolute tears. And Clash I got the call as soon as I texted her I was free to talk. She was crying and asking if my leg was okay.
"Luis!" said y/n snapping me back to reality.
"Huh?" I said.
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"Damn I really wish I could stuff you into my carry on and take you to Japan with me," I said.
She giggled "One problem with that," she said. "well a couple. A I wouldn't be able to breathe B I would be considered a stow away and be arrested along with you."
"Well there is that. And what sucks is you can't even come to Berlin with me I am going to miss your birthday too. You'll be on call for school the Monday prior." As she had registered to be a substitute.
She grins a bit sheepishly "Fuck. I was going to keep this a surprise until it got closer but" she said as she turned and grabbed her phone handing it to me after she opened an email.
It was a confirmation to a flight to Berlin for August twenty ninth. I look at the phone and then at her and back at the phone again "How?" I said "I mean I'm excited but don't you have work?"
"Perks of being a substitute for the district. Surprise!" she said "I was going to tell you in New York City but well."
I threw her phone on the bed and grabbed her face kissing her "This is the best news!" I said "But who's watching the pups?" I asked.
"Well it pays to have some friends already here in Orlando. Tali's mom, Sherry is here and she agreed to watch them for us," she said "Now just please be careful in Japan."
"I promise I will try and be careful. I am working with Josh. So I should be good," I said referring to Joshua Fatu aka Jey Uso.
"Yeah. Josh is safe. Good kid too," she said as she and Josh talk about the stupidest shit when she has been back stage. They both had a weird fascination over a true crime story that was like twelve part series on line and they were trying to figure out who done it. It was kinda funny seeing them write out theories. Turns out they were actually spot on and guessed the murderer.
"Now tomorrow. It's my last day home for a while. What do you want to do?"
"Never leave the house except for the dogs w-a-l-k," she said "Cuddles. Dancing. Making."
"Love?" I asked.
"We could. But I was going to say make dinner together. I got a new chicken recipe I want to try out."
"Sounds good. Chicken is a good protein," I said "So what do you want to do now?"
"Actually," she looks at her watch "It's dinner time. Want to order something? I want a cheat day. Pizza?" she smiles at me.
I chuckled and kissed her "Pepperoni?" I asked.
She nods "And more of season three of NCIS?" she grins.
"Sounds like the perfect night," I said kissing her cheek before she got out of bed and went to feed the dogs.
🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
After a damn good pizza from our favorite cheat day pizzeria. We have settled on the sofa. I had my arm draped around her shoulders she had her hand on my stomach while her other arm was wrapped around me in a hug as she snuggled against me. My legs propped up on the ottoman. Y/N had her legs curled beside her. Tony tucked in the crook of her legs. Jethro laying on her ankles and Ziva's head laying in my lap while the rest of her body was sprawled out on the other side of the sofa. It was a picture perfect night.
We were on the episode Frame Up. Y/N kept her mouth shut during the episode where Tony was obviously being framed for a murder he didn't commit. I was trying to figure out who would want to frame Tony. Granted there were funny moments woven through out but this was an intense episode and in the end... The one who framed Tony is revealed and I gasped earning a giggle from y/n.
"¡Qué completo cerdo!" I mutter making y/n laugh even more. (What an absolute swine!) "I KNEW HE WAS BAD NEWS!" I said loudly.
"Okay. I take it you liked that episode?" she asked.
I nodded "What a jerk. Abby knew not to like that dipshit," I said making y/n pat my stomach.
"Told ya Babe," she said "Want to watch Probie next?" she asked.
I check my watch it was only a little after six so I nod. We spent the next few hours watching a couple episodes of NCIS before we fell asleep while saying 'Let's go to bed.' 'But I don't want to move.' So that's how we fell asleep the same position with the dogs in their positions.
