Luke Alvez One Shots

•undercover 2•

(A/N: I'm on a long drive at the moment and I realize I can update this book! Get ready for a couple more that I had prewritten already)

(told from Luke's POV)

From the time I've known Y/N, she doesn't really realize it but she plays hard to get. I've liked her for quite some time now. She's nothing like other girls I've met; she's different. I know it's a cliché, but she proves it. She's stubborn, determined, serious, and intelligent... yet beautiful, kind-hearted, considerate, compassionate, very loyal, the list could keep going.

I know this assignment is going to kill me. I'm in a closed environment with a girl a really like, and it really feels like we really are a married couple. We've worked out a plan where one week she's going to do the grocery shopping and I'll handle the other 2 weeks we're supposed to be on this assignment. With our cameras outside, our team still hasn't found anything suspicious yet. But all they can say is that a few people have taken interest in us. I mean, who wouldn't?

So far, all she's done is gone grocery shopping and now she's going to cook for me; I feel myself falling for her a little bit more. I come downstairs after getting a laptop from our office and I get to see Y/N dancing a little bit while she's waiting for her dish to simmer down. I chuckle slightly as I grab my phone out to record her for a good minute before she realizes that I was standing there enjoying a good show.

"Please delete that video." Y/N sheepishly says as she stirs around the sauce.
"I'll think about it." I cheekily say as I walk to our nice dining table and I start logging in the laptop and finding the secure line that Garcia set up for us specifically. I look behind my shoulder as I see Y/N putting pasta on two plates and spreading sauce on top of the pasta.

I call Garcia and it picks up on the third ring. I see myself in a small screen off to the side and Garcia fills most of mine.
"Hello, newbie. How's this assignment going? How's your love for Y/N?" Her cheery voice is loud, making me worry if she heard that. I turn around briefly to see her pouring some glasses of red wine for us.
"Can you be any louder?" I question her.
"Oh yeah, I can be very loud Luke. You want me to tell her now? Because I can definitely do that for you." She smirks slightly.
"No Penelope. Don't do that please." I whisper loudly to her. I hear footsteps behind me as I give her a subtle shake of my head, telling her to not talk about this.

"Hey, Penny!" Y/N chirps as she brings our dinner to the table. She puts a plate full of pasta with a special red sauce on top in front of me and one off to the side for her. She then goes back to the kitchen and comes back with the 2 glasses of red wine and 2 forks. I'm smelling my food and it smells wonderful.
"Wow, Y/N. This smells incredible. What is it, though?" I question her as she pulls out a chair to sit down next to me so we can talk to the team, who just came in the round table room.
"It's my infamous seafood spaghetti. The sauce is unique because I incorporate artichoke hearts and a seafood combination with a hint of white wine." She explains as I nod and I twirl my spaghetti and I put some in my mouth.

My eyes dilated as chewed my food. "Wow! This is amazing! You need to try this." I say to everyone on the screen. I peek at Y/N to see her blushing slightly and she took a swig of her red wine.
"Anyways, have you seen anything yet? Despite you guys only being there for a day." Emily starts off. We look to each other for reassurance of our answers.

"No. We haven't seen anything yet." Y/N answers before forking in another mouthful of the spaghetti.

"Wow, what a nice dinner there. Do you have romantic music? Rose petals? Candle lights?" Rossi jokingly asks.

"Oh yeah. Definitely. You can hear the music." Y/N plays along.

"Okay, guys. We'll leave you for now. Don't do anything you don't want us to find out about later." Emily jokes around. We both waved to the camera and I log off the laptop.

We finish our dinner and I offer to wash the dishes since she cooked. Y/N goes to the living room to lie down on the couch and I hear the TV turn on. I hear the volume blast for a good few seconds until it lowers down quickly, and then I hear her turn it off. She walks back into the kitchen and props herself on a chair that's practically right in front of the sink; which means right in front of me.

"Hey, Luke. Can I ask you a somewhat random question?" She asks me with a tone that causes my attention span to be directed to her fully.

"Yeah. Anything." I answer her. She sits there, pondering hard for a good 5 seconds.

"¿Te gusto?" She asks me in Spanish, which makes me so surprised. I didn't know she spoke it also. (Do you like me?)

"Uh, sí. ¿Por qué me estás preguntando?" (Uh, yes. Why are you asking me?)

"Porque..." She shrugs her shoulder. "A veces, me siento que... Tú no me gustas." (Because... Sometimes, I feel that you don't like me.)

" ¿Por qué piensas eso?" (Why do you think this?)

"No sé. He visto como actúa alrededor de mí, y no me gusta." (I don't know. I have seen how you act around me, and I don't like it.)

" ¿Cómo te estoy actuando alrededor de ti?" (How am I acting around you?)

"Esa es la cosa. A veces, actuas como eres mi mejor amigo. Otras veces, actuas como estoy un extraño." She's looking away from me now, making me wonder why she would ever think that. Yes, I would try to distance myself from her whenever I feel like I'm getting too close. I'm afraid of getting too close to people because then they leave. (That's the thing. Sometimes, you act like you are my best friend. Other times, you act like I'm a stranger.)

As I'm going to have her look up at me, she quickly gets up and takes a few steps away from me. "I'm... I'm going to go get ready for bed. Good night Luke."

"Dang, Luke. You had a chance there." Rossi's voice rang in my ear.

"Shut it, Rossi. It's bad enough that I like her too much already."

--------------------------
(told in your POV)

As I trudge up the stairs, so many voices ran through my ear.

"Why didn't you tell him?" JJ asked first.

"I can't, JJ. And you know why." I say with a sigh.

"You know he likes you, right?" Penny's voice rang in my ear.

"I don't know if he likes me like that," I say sadly.

"Don't think like that, Y/N. He's going to tell you one way or another. I know this because I just heard this from Rossi." Emily encourages.

"Okay, whatever you say. I'm going to get ready for bed. Good night guys." I say as I take off my microphone and I turn it off. I leave it on my nightstand as I go to grab my pajamas and I quickly change out in the open before Luke comes in. I'm brushing my teeth as Luke comes in and changes his clothing. He lays down on the bed and stares up at the ceiling.

I come out of the bathroom as Luke goes in. I feel his eyes bore in the back of my head, but I ignore him as he continues to do his nightly routine. I go under the covers as soon as my phone is plugged in the outlet on the lamp and I start to scroll through my social media. Luke comes and lies under the covers also 5 minutes later. I'm closest to the edge of the bed so Luke can't stop me from getting up to leave the conversation. Or the room.

I turn off my lamp and I set my phone down and I place my head on my pillow as I 'fall asleep.'

"Y/N. I know you're still awake." He chides me. I ignore him, trying to make my breathing pattern slow and steady as if I'm asleep.

"Y/N." He tries again, getting my full attention.

"What do you want, Luke?" I say with an annoyed tone in my voice. He says absolutely nothing.

I adjust my body position so I'm more comfortable. I'm about to drift off into a deep sleep when I hear a whisper coming from behind.
"I don't know why, but I'm falling hard for you. And it's scary because I'm not close to many people in my life. But you know this." This is on a constant loop in my head.
