Damian's POV

This past week had been a whirlwind. I went to the Yankees game on Tuesday while y/n stayed with Mamá and watched Dancing with the Stars. I came home and she was still crying over Derek and Hayley's performance. I did my best to comfort her as we slept that night and she eventually calmed.

Late Wednesday morning we arrived home much to the delight of Tony and Ziva and y/n had me watch Derek and Hayley's performance from the previous night and I was a basket case. It was an absolutely breathtaking performance. Wednesday evening was our next dance lesson. Derek kindly flew in earlier that day so I could watch the Yankees play on Thursday. It was actually y/n's doing as she talked to Derek on Tuesday evening after the show. He graciously agreed.

Wednesday evening.....

I am driving to the dance studio as y/n watched the world go by.

"Babe?" I said taking her hand in mine and lacing our fingers.

"Hm?" she said as she turned her head to look at me.

"You okay?" I asked.

"I might just cry seeing Derek and I hope I don't look dumb," she said.

I brought her hand to my lips. Kissing the back of it before putting our laced hands back on the center console "Amor. If you cry. You cry. Trust me I really do think Derek will understand," I soothe as I rubbed the back of her hand with the side of my thumb.

"You think?" she asked.

"Princesa I might actually cry seeing Derek too. That performance from last night was breathtakingly beautiful," I said as I pulled into the dance studio's parking lot "Ready?"

Y/N glanced at me "As well as I can be," she said as we got out. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

"It will be okay," I said as I opened the door and usher her in before me by the small of her back. We walked up to the receptionist.

"Luis. Y/N," he said as even our virtual dance lessons were at the dance studio.

"Hi Edwin," we said.

"Same room. Thirty six," he said as he gestures to the long hallway.

"Thanks," we said as we headed to the room.

I opened the classroom door to Derek warming up with his stretching.

"Hey you two," he greeted us warmly as he stood. Walking to us and giving y/n hug before shaking my hand.

"Hey," I said with a smile "Last night's performance was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful."

"Thank you," smiled Derek.

"I cried. I will admit I was an absolute basket case," said y/n.

"I gotta admit I was too," said Derek with a laugh.

"It was absolutely beautiful Derek. I mean Luis he didn't watch it until this afternoon when we got home," she said.

"And I have to admit. I cried," I said.

Derek chuckled "I don't think anyone had a dry eye," he said with a small laugh "Now go change. Then come stretch."

We quickly made our way to the change room and got into our work out clothes and dance shoes.

"Okay," began Derek after our warm ups were over as he went on to explain what we were learning today. He took y/n into his arms. And showed me what to do. Y/N was a quick study with the waltz. I was still a bit unsure but I was coming along.

I had y/n in my arms as Derek started I Could Fall In Love. Derek sat down on the floor watching us. I moved her across the dance floor without tripping once. It was the first time since we began that I hadn't tripped on the one turn in the waltz.

"Babe. You're getting better," she said with a smile as we stopped as Derek stopped the music.

"Y/N is right. But remember no spaghetti arms," he said adjusting my arms "You two have no problem with body contact," he smirks.

"Haven't had a problem with that since day one," I said causing y/n to smack my arm.

"LUIS!" she playfully scolded.

Derek chuckled "From the beginning," he said starting the song over.

"Okay," we said.

"Eye contact," said Derek as he watched "No spaghetti arms y/n. You dropped your right shoulder."

"Sorry. Had a spasm in it," she said.

Derek stopped the song again coming over to us.

"Luis. Can you please massage y/n's shoulders? I know she has a bad shoulder," he said "We can go over more of the steps and holds again once your shoulder stops spasming."

Y/N nodded as we sat in chairs and I began massaging her shoulders. She groans as I hit a knot.

"Sorry," I said.

Y/N shook her head "No te preocupes por eso, amor. Sé que no era tu intención. Es un nudo en mi hombro," she murmured. (Don't worry about it, love. I know you didn't mean it. It's a knot on my shoulder)

"I still don't want to hurt you," I said.

"How about we use some of this," said Derek pulling kinesio tape from his bag.

"Oh that might actually help," I said as Derek hands me the roll. I quickly get it on y/n's shoulder "How does that feel Babe?"

"A bit better but of course I am just sitting here and I'm not in hold."

"Well let's remedy that," said Derek moving the chairs and starting the song again. We got into hold "Okay y/n. Luis. Run it through again." We began the waltz again "Good!" said Derek as we did the first spin "Perfect arms both of you!" and we actually ran the whole dance through. We looked at Derek. He beams "That was great!"

"Really?" asked y/n.

"Absolutely. Imagine in a years time! We do still have a lot of work. But your arms stayed were they were supposed to. Body contact obviously perfect. Eye contact excellent. There were a few stumbled steps but still leaps and bounds when you both were on your asses during the first lesson."

It is now Saturday and I am watching the Yankees game. Y/N laid on the sofa reading a book and listening to music. Her feet in my lap. I am rubbing her feet as I watch. She let out a small squeak as I accidentally bent her toe back.

"Careful," she said looking over her book.

"Sorry," I said.

"I mean you don't have to break my bones to carry me," she playfully teased.

I smirk "Tempting offer. I will remember that after the game," I said.

"You will probably have to carry me anyway. I'm probably gonna fall asleep."

I chuckled "You know you could watch something in the bedroom. We do have a tv in there too. I mean we rarely use it as we do other activities in there," she smirks "but it's there for days like this. And days you're home alone or one of us is sick."

"I mean are you sure? I mean I do have NCIS I can go watch."

"Go ahead. I will be to bed once the game is over," I said "Why don't you head to the bed. If I wake you. I am apologizing in advance."

She giggles as she sat up. She kissed my cheek "No worries. Te amo," she said as she stood but I grabbed her hand pulling her to my lips and kissing her quickly.

"Te amo mucho mi amor," I said as I smack her ass lightly "I will see you later. I may need to blow off steam or I might need to celebrate."

She smirked "Otherwise. We're having sex either way," she said with a giggle.

"Yup," I said with a nod.

"Good to know. I mean we are creeping closer to my friend showing up."

"Then we are going to be blowing off steam twice or celebrating twice tonight," I said.

She smirked before shaking her head "Enjoy your game. Vamos Tony y Ziva."

They obediently followed her as she heads to our bedroom.

A few hours later. We are celebrating much to Tony and Ziva's chagrin.
