Hot & Wild (De La Cruz Saga)

by P. Macias

“Okay, mama,” says Christian, leading Monique to their room to get ready.

  “Baby, I love you,” says Monique. She pulls Christian close for a beso as soon as they enter the room and pushes off his shirt.

  “I love you,” responds Christian, pulling off her summer dress, running his hands down her back, and kissing her hungrily.

  Hmmm, she’s so hot, thinks Christian. He unhooks her bra and pushes it aside to kiss her beautiful breasts.

  “Baby, I need you,” says Monique, undoing his pants. Christian and Monique make love before getting ready to go out to the club.

  Chapter Twenty-Five

  Christian went to the table where his primas are sitting. He leaves Monique at the table to get some drinks.

  “My Cielo, what kind of drink do you want?” asks Christian. Monique looks at his primas and waves.

  “I want a virgin strawberry daiquiri,” replies Monique, looking at him. “I don’t want to drink because of the bebe.”

  “Si, my Cielo, that’s very wise,” says Christian. He’s pleased with her motherly nature. He kisses her. Si, my Cielo is taking care of our bebe, thinks Christian, with felicidad.

  Christian went to the bar, he orders Monique’s drink. He turns smiling at his primos, observing how unhappy Tony appears. He’s brooding because of his mujer, thinks Christian. He looks at Alex, checking out all las chicas.

  Yeah that’s boring when you don’t see anyone that draws your attention. Hmmm, I’m so feliz with my Cielo. He takes Monique her drink.

  “My Cielo, you don’t mind if I talk to mis primos for a bit?” asks Christian, smiling flashing his awesome dimples. Si, my Cielo is hermosa.

  “Baby, I don’t mind at all. I know that you haven’t seen them in a while,” says Monique, smiling leaning in for a beso.

  “Ok, I’ll be back in a few minutes to dance,” replies Christian, smiling. He walks over to his primos and requests a Corona from Matt the bartender.

  “Primo, did you see that bella chica that just walked in,” asks Alex looking at Cynthia. Wow, she’s hot! I have never seen her before, thinks Alex, taking a drink of his Corona.

  “Which one, primo,” inquires Tony? He’s not interested in any chica. “I need another Corona.”

  “She’s over there at the table near the dance floor. Look down the center of the room. She’s going to dance with some guey. The one in the sexy red dress,” says Alex, running his eyes down her exquisite figure.

  Tony turns to where his primo is directing him and he instantly goes loco with anger and jealousy. I cannot believe this, thinks Tony.

  The dress was not showing a lot of flesh. It was only a little daring and sexy. The dress back is cut low past her waistline, just above the curve of her rear end. The dress material is a shimmering red, clingy with long sleeves and has a cowl neckline. The total effect is sexy, daring, and it drapes over every curve.

  This is a nightmare, thinks Tony. Tony doesn’t think, striding towards her to pull her out of that guey’s arms. How dare he touch her, she’s mia, only mia, thinks Tony.

  “Guey she’s my mujer!” growls Tony, pulling her out of his arms.

  “Yeah, right, tell me since when, idiota? She came into the club all by herself. If she’s your mujer, you shouldn’t leave her alone,” yells the guey, pulling her back into his arms.

  Tony sees red and pulls Cynthia back into his side. “Look, idiota, if you want to fight, let’s go outside,” growls Tony. He’s full of rage, holding tightly onto Cynthia.

  Alex, Christian, Javier, Gabriel, and Jose Enrique are behind him. Tony knows this since they’re always at each other’s back.

  I think this is overkill, thinks Cynthia, dreading the outcome. I knew it would work. He needed a little push and a wakeup call. I will not tolerate him pushing me away when I know he loves me.

  Tony turns quickly to make sure that his primos are at his back. He hands Cynthia their way. “Jose Enrique, I want you to take Cynthia back to my hermanas,” requests Tony, looking at the guey.

  Cynthia is surprised that the primos are all right behind them. Wow, I didn’t know that they were there, thinks Cynthia, blushing with embarrassment. Geeze, this is just great. I get to meet them all under these circumstance and dressed like this.

  “Come here, Cynthia, and let me take you to mis primas,” says Jose Enrique, looking at the bella chica that’s his primo’s alma gemela.

  Damn! No wonder Tony is having a shit attack. Not only is she here and dancing with another Chico, but she’s dressed really hot. All los chicos are drooling over her. She’s incredible, ponders Jose Enrique, walking her back to his primas.

  “I’m sorry for causing this problema. I just wanted Tony to realize that he can lose me,” says Cynthia, almost in tears.

  Ahh, now I get it. She’s only dressed this way to get Tony all worked up and jealous. Well it worked, thinks Jose Enrique, grinning. This chica is amazing.

  Jose Enrique walks her over to the table. “My prima is sitting over their alone, do you think she can come with me to the table,” asks Cynthia, embarrassed.

  “Si, I’ll get her in a few,” replies Jose Enrique. They approach the table and the primas and Jessy look at him. They then gaze at Cynthia with curiosity.

  “Mi amor, primas this is Cynthia, Tony’s novia, the one,” says Jose Enrique. He’s amused as he notices that they understand. They all understand how important she’s to Tony.

  “Hola,” says Cynthia, blushing, a little embarrassed.

  “Hola, Cynthia,” says Veronica, smiling. Yeah, this is the chica that has my hermano all worked up every day. No wonder, she’s really bella, thinks Veronica. “I was wondering when I would be meeting you.”

  “Hola,” says Claudia, grinning at the commotion and stress that she’s causing her poor hermano. “I’m happy to meet you. I’m Claudia, Tony’s hermana, and Veronica is our hermana.”

  Claudia is grinning with amusement. This is totally an unexpected event. Tony was pouting all evening, ponders Claudia.

  “Hola, Cynthia, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Jessy, Jose Enrique’s novia,” says Jessy smiling, looking at how hermosa the chica is.

  “Hola,” Erica grins looking at her. “I’m Erica, his prima.”

  “Hola, Cynthia, amiga,” says Monique, smiling. She’s enjoying the uproar that is transpiring.

  “Hola, Monique, I’m so glad to see you,” says Cynthia, smiling.

  Jose Enrique returns with her prima Rosa. He immediately returns with Tony.

  “This is my prima, Rosa,” says Cynthia, looking at las primas and Tony’s hermanas. They’re all bella, thinks Cynthia, with felicidad. I’m meeting his familia.

  “Hola,” says Rosa, smiling, taking a seat.

  Cynthia sits down and looks over to where Tony and his primos are still arguing with the Chico. What a mess I caused. I hope my Baby doesn’t get hurt, thinks Cynthia with anxiety.

  * * *

  “What’s it going to be guey? Do you understand that she’s my mujer,” asks Tony, furiously. “Do you want me to make you understand?”

  Tony stares at the Chico. He notices the Chico turn to scan over Cynthia’s hot body, making him boil to a point of no return, and grabs the Chico by his shirt. “Stop looking at her,” growls Tony thru clenched teeth, rage taking over. He feels that he can kill him for eyeing his mujer.

  “Primo, calm down and let him go,” says Christian, worried with how furious Tony is.

  I have never seen him so outraged in my vida. That chica must be real important to him, but why did she come in on her own? What’s up? I need to talk to my primo, contemplates Christian with concern.

  “Primo, let him go,” says Alex, getting concerned with how Tony is going crazy over that chica. Wow I didn’t know that Tony had a novia, ponders Alex, shaking his head.

  Jose Enrique arrives to see that Tony has the Chico by his shirt and is ready to beat the shit out of him. “Primo, let him go,” says Jose Enrique in a soft low voice trying to get him to liste
n to reason. “Cynthia is at the table with your hermanas.”

  Tony hears him, but he’s unable to let the idiota go. I just want to kill him for touching my mujer, thinks Tony, with rage.

  “I just want him to acknowledge that he understands that she’s my mujer,” says Tony, through clenched teeth.

  “Primo, we don’t want you to fight over this,” says Christian, watching as the people start to notice. “The bouncers are coming this way. We don’t need any problemas.”

  “Okay idiota! Tonight is your lucky night. Don’t go near my mujer!” yells Tony, shoving him back into the wall and turning to leave.

  “Guey, don’t leave her alone,” yells the Chico, shaking his head with amazement.

  The bouncers arrive, they look over the entire area, and they don’t see anyone fighting. Shrugging their shoulders, they return to their posts.

  “Primo, are you okay?” asks Christian, standing next to Tony, wondering what the hell is up.

  “Si, primo,” replies Tony, not wanting to talk to his primos. “Primos, I’m taking Cynthia home.”

  “What about her prima?” asks Jose Enrique, knowing that Tony isn’t thinking straight and isn’t aware of Cynthia’s prima.

  “Can you take her home?” asks Tony, walking straight to Cynthia. “Cynthia,” he says softly, looking at her.

  Cynthia turns to look at Tony. She knows that he’s furious. “Baby,” says Cynthia, smiling, attempting to keep him from blowing up.

  “I’m taking you home,” says Tony, extending his hand to her.

  She takes his hand and stands. She turns to las primas and her amiga. “Adios, it was nice meeting you, adios, amiga,” says Cynthia, smiling, standing straight. She feels Tony wrap his arm around her small waist, pulling her close to his side.

  Los primos return to the table and hear Tony. They’re amazed at how Tony is behaving. He’s in love, they grin, looking at him hold Cynthia tightly to his side.

  Tony turns to his familia and waves, taking his mujer to her casa. They walk out of the club and the night is beautiful.

  Christian walks over to talk to his primos. “So that’s Tony’s mujer?” asks Christian, looking at Jose Enrique with a raised eyebrow. “He’s raging with frustration.”

  “Yeah, I know. She stated that she did this only to push him into action. Tony has been trying to keep it slow,” says Jose Enrique, thinking of the fiasco that could have taken place. Not good for our image, thinks Jose Enrique, shaking his head.

  “I didn’t know he has a novia,” says Alex, shaking his head, taking a drink of his Corona. “I pointed her out without knowing she’s his mujer.”

  “Don’t worry primo. I know that Tony will not be mad about that. He was just mad at the chico touching her,” says Jose Enrique, smiling. “Of course he didn’t like that all of the guey’s were drooling.”

  “Well, hell, yeah, how can gueys not look,” says Christian, shaking his head. I wonder how in the hell did she put that dress on, ponders Christian. “I can understand Tony’s anger and I will kill anybody that touches my Cielo.”

  “Damn, I feel the same,” says Jose Enrique, glancing over at Jessy.

  “Now it’s just Javier and I without a novia. This sucks!” says Alex, taking a drink of his Corona.

  “Javier is dancing with that chica,” says Christian, grinning, knowing that Alex is on his own for the rest of the evening. “You should locate your alma gemela. I guarantee it’s worth it.”

  “Yeah, primo, it’s really worth it,” agrees Jose Enrique, nodding, grinning wickedly.

  Christian returns to Monique and takes her out to dance. “My Cielo, lets dance,” says Christian, taking her hand. They walk to the dance floor. “Oh, yeah, now I get to hold you close.”

  “Si Baby, te amo,” whispers Monique, into his ear feeling him tremble. “It feels great being in your arms and dancing to this romantic song.”

  They dance for a while and then they say their goodbyes to the primos. They return to his room, to their haven.

  Chapter Twenty-Six

  Early the next morning Christian went to the store to purchase a pregnancy test. They’re both anxious to confirm the pregnancy. Christian hurries back to his casa, going straight to his room.

  “Okay, I have the test,” says Christian, walking into his room. He walks over to Monique. “Let’s take the test.” He’s excited and anxious. He wants to know now if she’s pregnant.

  “Okay, Baby,” says Monique, taking the test and reading the instructions. She looks at Christian, smiling. “This test is supposed to be accurate. It should work even now, being in its early stage. The hormones levels should indicate if I’m pregnant.”

  “Damn, yes! I hope we can know right now! I need to know if you’re having my bebe. I can feel it, but it will be nice to have it confirmed,” says Christian, grinning, flashing his dimples. He takes her into his arms, kissing her with all of his amor, and hugs her close.

  “Baby, I know that I am. My breasts are tender and I don’t like some smells,” says Monique.

  She pulls away to go to the restroom. “I’m going to take the test and I’ll return in a minute.”

  Christian sits on the bed, anxiously waiting for Monique to return. I know she is. I just cannot wait to have our pregnancy confirmed. I love her so much and my bebe, contemplates Christian, watching her walk out of the restroom. He pulls her back onto his lap, holding her close.

  “Baby, we need to wait until the test turns positive or negative,” says Monique. She holds the test tube, gazing into his hermoso green eyes, and smiling with felicidad.

  Christian grins at her and then glances at the test tube seeking the results. He pulls her closer to her and gives her a tender beso. “You know, mi Cielo, te amo.”

  “Te amo, Baby,” says Monique, looking at the test tube, yelling with excitement. “It’s positive Baby! We’re having a bebe, your bebe. Christian, you’ve made me so feliz!”

  Monique smiles, tears threatening to spill over, and gazes at Christian’s hermoso green eyes.

  Oh yeah, our bebe could have Christian’s hermosos green eyes. I’m feliz, thinks Monique. She wipes her tears with the pads of her fingertips.

  “Hell, yeah, damn! Mi Cielo, I told you, you’re having my bebe! Gracias!” yells Christian, pulling her closer. He kisses her with all of his amor and pasión.

  Monique looks at Christian. “Baby, you want to tell our padres that we’re pregnant?” asks Monique. I wonder if he wants to go to my casa now. I want to tell mis padres and hermanas. I’m so feliz, gracias dios mio, thinks Monique.

  “Si, mi Cielo, I want to, and my padres are at the store. We can go over to your padres. We can also bring back some of your belongings,” says Christian, standing, taking her hand.

  “Okay, I’m so excited,” says Monique, standing. They walk out of the casa holding hands. They arrived at Monique’s casa in a few minutes. Christian casa is only a few blocks away.

  They enter her casa. “Mama, papa,” calls out Monique with excitement. She strides to the familia room looking for her padres. Her padres and hermana Gabriella are watching the Spanish novela.

  “Si, mi hija, I’m feliz that you came to visit,” says Mama Ana, smiling, returning Monique’s hug.

  “Sit down,” says Papa Luis, smiling, feliz to see them in love. “My Gaby, please get us something to drink.”

  “Si, papa,” replies Gabriella, going to the kitchen. “Hola Monique, Christian,” she says, walking away to get the drinks. Hmmm, he is so guapo, and he reminds me of Javier. I don’t want to think about Javier, ponders Gabriella.

  “Mama, papa, we came to tell you that I took the pregnancy test this morning and it is positive. We’re pregnant,” says Monique, grinning. She looks at her padres’ pleased expressions.

  “My hija, that’s great news and you make us feliz. Un nieto and I can’t wait,” says Mama Ana, nodding, smiling over at her esposo.

  “Si, mi hija, you give us great news,” says Papa Luis, looki
ng at Christian. “Felicidades, Christian.”

  “Gracias,” replies Christian, sitting down, he pulls Monique next to him. “We also want to inform you that we have made arrangements with the church for our ceremony. We are scheduled for July 16th.”

  “That’s awesome news, muchas gracias,” says Papa Luis, pleased. I’m impressed that he’s on top of everything, of course he is, he’s a Navy SEAL, thinks Papa Luis, beaming.

  “Si, papa and we will be having the reception at Christian’s padre’s casa,” says Monique, smiling. “We also bought our bedroom set and linens.”

  “Wow, mi hija, that’s fantastic,” says Mama Ana, nodding. “You met Christian’s padres and familia?”

  “Si, mama, they’re buena gente,” replies Monique, smiling, nodding.

  “Here are the drinks,” says Gabriella, giving Christian and Monique a glass of cold tea.

  “Where is Eva?” asks Monique, looking at Gabriella.

  “She’s with her amiga,” replies Gabriella, looking at them. “So you’re having a bebe, hermana. I’m so feliz for you.”

  “Si, and I can’t wait to hold him,” says Monique, taking a drink of tea.

  “Oh yeah, Monique, I will enjoy holding your bebe,” says Gabriella, taking a drink. “What are you doing today?”

  “We’re staying en casa and watch some movies,” says Monique, turning to look at Christian. “You still want to get some movies?”

  “Si, mi Cielo, I want to relax a little after all the running around,” says Christian, looking at Monique, smiling flashing his dimples. Damn yeah, after all of the love making, thinks Christian.

  “Oh, can I come and see them with you guys?” asks Gabriella, looking at Christian and Monique. I really want to do something different than staying here with mis padres every day, thinks Gabriella.

  “That will be great. We will have pizza and popcorn,” replies Christian, nodding. He’s aware that Gabriella is bored. “That’s okay, mi Cielo?”

  “Si, Baby,” replies Monique, smiling. “That’s okay, mama, papa?” asks Monique, wondering if they’ll object.
