Hot & Wild (De La Cruz Saga)

by P. Macias

“Yes I do,” replies Christian looking at their reactions. I can see what they mean. If we become serious, I’ll want to be with her more. I want to be with her now. It’ll be a while until the wedding takes place. I know that I’ll not wait. I get what they’re saying. They will cover for us to be together, contemplates Christian.

  Christian looks at his hermana and primas. They’re right. “I get it. Okay, it’s a plan that we should all honor. My concern is for you primas. I don’t want anybody playing with you. You need to be sure that you have met the one, your alma gemela. Okay?” asks Christian. He sits back to contemplate las primas. Well I’m covering for Erica. It would be the same with each one, considers Christian.

  “I will cover each one of you when I know for sure that the Chico is the one. I will talk to that Chico to make sure. That’s the only condition,” says Christian, smiling wickedly.

  “Hermano, you will be told that he’s the one. We are not niñas. We’re adults,” states Bella firmly.

  “Yes, but I also know what the chicos want and do. I don’t want any Chico playing with my hermana and primas. If the Chico is the one, he will not be bothered with my questions. I know,” says Christian. “Okay, I will keep in touch to see where we’re at on this pact. I want to be the first one to know when the one appears. Okay?”

  Christian looks at each one to get their commitment. Good, they agree with my stipulation. Now I have to be on alert to make sure that the one is the one, thinks Christian, smiling. He leaves to talk to the primos.

  “Hola hermano, primo what’s up?” asks Christian, sitting in the middle of Tony and Alex.

  “Just having a drink and looking at the love birds,” replies Alex, with a sigh.

  “Yeah, it looks like our group is slowing getting smaller. I wonder who’s next?” asks Tony, looking at Christian.

  “I have met a special chica. I feel that she could be the one,” says Christian, grinning flashing his dimples. He takes a drink looking at his hermano and primo’s reaction. Yeah they’re upset. Oh well. I understand now.

  “You’re kidding right?” asks Alex, contemplating his hermano. “Unbelievable, the fever is hitting everybody.”

  “Primo I don’t believe you,” says Tony, frowning with disbelief. He takes a deep drink of his Corona. “All of our fun is going down the drain. That will leave only Alex and me. Javier is hardly ever here.”

  “Well, I’m in love. You will meet her on Monday. She’s starting to work for the company,” says Christian, grinning.

  “You mean the new assistant for Jessy? Yeah, she will be working closely with Jessy and I. So that means hands off?” asks Tony, smiling wickedly.

  “Yes she’s toda mia,” says Christian, looking at Alex and Tony. “I was talking to las primas ……. I did agree with the pact.”

  Christian looks at his hermano and primo waiting for their reactions. I see that they’re concerned. Okay, now they understand. Great now we can all make sure that the primas and hermana are not played with, thinks Christian.

  “That’s incredible,” says Alex, taking a drink from his Corona.

  “That can be dangerous,” replies Tony, shaking his head.

  “Exactly, I asked las primas and hermana to make sure to tell me first when they feel that they have met the one. I told them that I want to talk to the one,” says Christian, looking at Alex and Tony. He takes a drink from his Corona.

  “Okay, but it is still dangerous,” says Alex.

  “Yes and I do see their point. Look we are all adults. We will find the one and we will not want to wait until the wedding. I know that I will not wait,” says Christian, looking at them with a big wicked smile flashing his dimples.

  “Okay, I see your point,” says Tony, nodding in agreement.

  “Well, I can tell you that the three couples right now have not waited. Not that they told me, but you can just tell,” says Christian, looking at them.

  “Yeah, hermano, I think that you’re right. I understand. I will honor the pact. I also want to make sure that the Chico is serious and is for real the one,” replies Alex, looking at his primas and his hermana. “I don’t want any chico playing with our tesoros.”

  “Si, I’m with you Alex,” says Tony looking at the primas and hermanas.

  “Okay, I think that this is a real thought out pact. I know it is needed. We’re young, healthy and in love,” says Christian. “I know I need it.”

  “Yeah, I can see that you’re thinking about your chica,” says Alex, grinning, shaking his head.

  “Yes, I had mocha with her today. Manana, I have a date. She’s my novia,” says Christian, smiling with alegria. “Yeah, she’s my novia in the traditional way.”

  “You’re joking!” exclaims Tony, amused with his wild primo news.

  “No, I am not joking. She’s officially my novia. She’s not just a date. She’s my novia and I will marry her in a little bit. I have to give it a little time to flourish,” says Christian, grinning. He takes a drink, observing his hermano and primo’s surprise.

  Yes, I see that they’re surprised. I’m serious, contemplates Christian, nodding.

  “I have decided to not re-enlist. I will start working at the familia company. Jose Enrique asked me to think about it. I have decided that I will marry and start working,” says Christian, amused. He’s enjoying the shock that he’s causing.

  “She must be real special if you feel so strongly,” says Alex, observing his hermano. “Just think that you were pissed at Gabriel, about how quick they’re marrying. Now you’re going to do the same. When you know, you know, yeah.”

  “Yes, I do understand now. I didn’t understand then. I’m telling you that you really just know when it is the one. Las primas and hermana are right,” replies Christian, seriously. “I need you to promise not to tell my novia that I’m a Navy SEAL. I haven’t told her. She thinks that I work at the familia company.”

  “Why does she think that you work there?” asks Tony, curiously.

  “When I met her today, I was doing an errand that Jose Enrique asked me to do for him. I had a report for him. We ran into each other in the hallway and all of my papers flew out of my manos,” says Christian, taking another drink. “She thinks that I work there. I don’t know what she thinks I work at.”

  “Why didn’t you clear that up?” asks Alex, looking at his hermano. I wonder what he’s up to.

  “We didn’t talk about it. I really didn’t want her to know that I’m a Navy SEAL. You never know how chicas react to that. Look at Erica,” says Christian, looking at his hermana with her novio.

  “Okay, but you need to tell her soon and especially if you’re going to marry her,” says Tony, shaking his head taking a drink of his Corona.

  “I will tell her soon. When I know that she’ll not freak out, okay?” says Christian, looking at them to see if they agree to cover for him.

  “Okay hermano,” says Alex, nodding in agreement.

  “Si primo, I will. What do I tell her if she asks where you work at?” asks Tony, checking out the room for some chicas.

  “Primo, simply let her know that I work at the job sites as the construction site manager. That’s the job that Jose Enrique wants me to do. He says that we have been losing materials and not getting the quality material that we have paid for. I haven’t told him that I will work. I decided that after spending time with my novia. You do understand?” asks Christian, looking at Tony and Alex.

  “I can see that will be a great job for you hermano. You will be in the office but, at the same time you will be out on the field. Yeah I think that will be good for you,” says Alex, looking at his hermano.

  Wow, my hermano changed in a matter of hours. I can see that this chica has really touched him. All he ever wanted to do is have fun. That’s one of the reasons that he went into the Navy. He wanted excitement, ponders Alex.

  “Si primo, that’s a perfect job for you and we really do need you to handle the construction sites. The managers that we have had are not respon
sible and honest,” says Tony, taking a drink of his Corona.

  “Si, I think it’s time for me to settle down. I have found the chica that has filled all my needs,” replies Christian with felicidad, looking into space thinking of Monique.

  Ricky and Jacki returned from dancing to talk to the primos. Ricky went to stand with his primos.

  “What’s up primos?” asks Ricky, turning to the bar to get a Corona.

  “Christian is in love,” says Tony, with a smirk leaning to the side before Christian fist connected.

  “Yeah he is,” says Alex, smiling at Ricky.

  “Primo, I highly recommend this love business, it is very rewarding,” says Ricky, winking at his primo.

  “Yes, primo, I’m beginning to reap the rewards,” replies Christian, grinning wickedly, looking at his primo.

  “Well, Jacki, we want to tell ……….” says Paty, smiling at Jacki. Paty explains the pact to Jacki.

  “Thanks for thinking about us. I will tell Ricky,” says Jacki, nodding.

  Ricky notices Jacki look at him and knows that she’s ready to leave. “Okay primos, I’ll talk to you later,” says Ricky, striding to his reina. Los primos watch him leave.

  “It’s so amazing how Ricky is all into Jacki,” says Tony, looking at the happy couple walk away, taking a drink of his Corona.

  “Tony, I’m telling you that when you meet the one, your alma gemela, you know. It feels great. You don’t think of anything or anybody,” says Christian, smiling at his primo.

  “I hope that I don’t meet the one anytime soon,” replies Tony, looking at all the chicas in the club.

  “Come on Alex, there’s a couple of cute chicas down the bar,” says Tony, walking down the bar.

  Alex looks at the chicas and agrees with Tony. He walks away leaving Christian to drink his Corona by himself.

  Chapter Six

  I need to look real sexy and bella for Christian. He’s such a hunk. I don’t want him to get bored with me so soon. I need to keep him interested. What should I wear to the movies, ponders Monique with felicidad.

  Monique stands at her closet looking at all of her dresses. I want to wear a dress. I can tell that he likes the dress I wore ayer for our mocha. Maybe I should ask my hermanas if they have something muy cute, cute to wear. She starts to turn around when she spots her new outfit she had bought the other day. Oh yeah, I almost forgot I bought this. I’ll wear it today.

  Monique puts on a beautiful soft pink peasant top that sits off the shoulders with a soft elastic smocked midriff. She also has the matching peasant skirt that is very soft and feminine. Yes, it’s perfect. I’m so glad that I bought this the other day, thinks Monique.

  I’ll put on my sexy white high heel sandals and some silver jewelry. Si, I can’t forget my perfume. I will put on my favorite soft floral scent. I’m glad that Christian likes it. I can tell from his expression when he smells it on me.

  She’s finishes putting on her perfume when her hermana walks into her room all excited. “Hermana you have a date with a Chico? Mama told me that you think he is guapo and muy nice,” says her hermana, Gabriella, smiling.

  “Si hermana, he’s my novio and he’s such a hunk,” replies Monique, grinning.

  “Wow, that’s great. Where did you meet him?” asks Gabriella, dreamily.

  “I met him at the company that I’m going to start working at on Monday. He also works there. I’m so excited, hermana. He has everything that I ever wanted. Well he’s not rich, but he’s nice and a hard worker,” says Monique, grinning.

  “Si, mama always says that we need to pick a nice Chico to be happy,” says Gabriella, smiling at her hermano.

  “Hermana, what’s even better is that he makes my corazon stop and beat faster. I also love his besos,” says Monique, blushing, grinning.

  “Wow, so you really do like him? Can I answer the door when he picks you up?” asks Gabriella, looking eagerly at her hermana. It sounds like what I felt for Javier in high school, reflects Gabriella. I better not think about him. I' still get pissed off at him and it hurts.

  “Okay Hermana,” says Monique, nodding. “But I’ll be out quickly because I want to see him.”

  “Okay. Does Eva know about your novio?” asks Gabriella, looking out the window as a carro approaches. “Wow hermana is that him?”

  Monique approaches the window and looks through the crack of the blind. She sees Christian exiting his carro dressed in jeans and a nice shirt with his bad boy black biker boots. I bet he owns a cycle, ponders Monique, sighing at the sight of him.

  She looks at her hermana grinning. “Si hermana, that’s my novio, isn’t he a hunk?” asks Monique, closing her eyes dreamily. “You should see his green eyes and he has these beautiful dimples when he smiles. I think I’m in love.”

  “I can see that you are. Si, he’s a hunk hermana. You’re so lucky that you found him,” replies Gabriella, observing Christian. Hmm, he has a little of Javier in him. I wonder if he’s related to Javier. How depressing, seeing him brings back all of naughty moments with Javier. I still want him even if he hurt and pissed me off, contemplates Gabriella.

  “I bet that Eva doesn’t know about your novio. She would be here gawking. Wait until he comes in and she sees him. Wow,” says Gabriella, grinning, nodding. “She will faint,” Gabriella races out of the bedroom when she hears the doorbell, calling out. “I will get it! Monique, please let me. Just give me a few minutes to take a good look at him.”

  Gabriella runs out, running to the door, calling out that she’s getting the door. She stops and takes a deep breath. Smiling, she opens the door.

  Wow, he’s really a hunk like Monique says. Those green eyes are incredible. They do look like Javier’s. Wow, he’s smiling and I love those dimples. Yeah, I’m in love too, thinks Gabriella, smiling at him. I better ask him to come in. “Hola you’re Christian?” asks Gabriella, looking at him.

  “Si, I am and you are?” asks Christian, extending his hand out to greet his future cunada.

  She has to be one of my baby’s hermana. She looks a little like my baby. They have the same big eyes, but hers are light soft brown. I really love my baby, she’s perfect for me.

  “Yes, I’m Gabriella, Monique’s hermana. Please come in. Monique will be out in a few,” says Gabriella, smiling, leading him into the living room. “Have a seat, I will call her.”

  Monique’s Mama Ana walks into the living room at that time and smiles at Christian. She walks over to him as he stands to greet her. “Hola I’m Monique’s Mama Ana,” says Mama Ana, extending her hand to greet him “How are you?”

  “Hola Señora, I’m Christian Arturo De La Cruz. I’m doing great,” replies Christian, smiling, flashing his dimples.

  I see that my baby looks like her mama. She gets her beautiful big eyes from her mama. That’s good. She looks like a nice Señora, thinks Christian.

  What a guapo Chico mi hija met. He looks like he’s well-mannered and from a good familia. I’m immensely feliz, thinks Mama Ana.

  “Have a seat Christian, I know that my hija is almost ready,” says Mama Ana, taking a seat.

  “I’m right here, mama,” says Monique as she walks into the living room with Gabriella.

  She looks at Christian and grins. She walks over to him and goes up on her toes to give him a beso, placing her hands on his broad shoulders to balance.

  Oh Dios mio, my baby is kissing me in front of her mama. I have to return her beso, she’s toda mia, thinks Christian. He wraps his arms around Monique. He pulls back and risks a quick look at her mama. Damn, I’m lucky. What a relief that she didn’t get mad. Wow that was close, thinks Christian.

  Monique turns to her mama. “Mama, you have met my novio Christian?” asks Monique, smiling.

  “Si mi hija,” replies her Mama Ana, smiling. Si he does care for mi hija, thinks Mama Ana.

  “Baby you look muy bella,” says Christian, smiling, looking into her beautiful eyes.

  “Gracias,” says Monique, happily.
“I’m ready to go, are you?”

  “Si, let’s go,” replies Christian, looking at her Mama Ana and hermana smiling. “It was a pleasure meeting you.”

  “Mama, I’ll be back later. Okay?” says Monique, smiling.

  “Si mi hija, we’ll be waiting for you. You will be here for dinner?” asks her Mama Ana, looking at Christian.

  “Baby, we might go out to dinner after the movie,” says Christian, smiling at Monique. Yes, if I have my way, we will spend all day together, thinks Christian.

  “Yes, we will see if I’m hungry. Mama, I will call you if we go out to dinner, okay?” replies Monique, looking at her mama nodding in agreement.

  “Si mi hija, that will be good, and I hope you enjoy your day,” says Mama Ana, smiling with felicidad.

  “Adios,” says Monique, pulling Christian out of the door.

  “Adios,” says Christian, waving at them, walking out the door. Okay, now I can have my baby to myself for a while. Oh, damn, yes, thinks Christian, eagerly.

  Christian pulls Monique to his side and walks to his carro. He assists her into the carro. He smiles at her as he closes the door.

  Christian walks to his side after assisting Monique into the carro. He slides into his seat. “Baby, where would you like to go to lunch?” he asks, leaning over to give her a beso on her cheek.

  My baby looks sexy, bella, and smells delicious, contemplates Christian. He looks at her, wondering if he’ll have enough control. She looks so tempting in that outfit she’s wearing. I wonder if she just wants to test my limits, he grins.

  He leans in, kisses her sweet delicious shoulder. He takes a few nibbles. I can feel her tremble. He looks at her as she turns to look at him, smiling. Okay she likes this and she’s not mad, great, thinks Christian. He pulls back, smiling, taking her hand, kissing her palm, and making her shiver.

  Her beautiful breasts swell and I can see her nipples through her bra and blouse. Yes my baby is real responsive to my touch. I just love it. Oh, today will be heaven and sweet torture. I just know it, contemplates Christian.

  “Baby you look so sexy in your outfit. You smell so delicious and taste divine. You’re driving me loco. I know you’re going to be pushing my control,” he smiles, gazing into her beautiful big hazel eyes.
