“I want to get something to eat, I’m real hungry,” says Vero walking to the kitchen to get some dinner. Veronica sees her fiancé and starts to run towards her Christopher with alegria. “Baby,” pulling him down for un hungry beso.
“I want something to eat, see ya,” says Claudia walking after her hermana.
“Mi amor, let’s get something to eat before we get stopped again,” says Jose Enrique taking Jessy’s mano.
“Bella, Paty, Jessy just asked us to help her out with a double bridal shower for Erica and Jacki. It sounds like such fun!” says Claudia getting her food.
“Yeah, help us make a list of who we’ll invite, okay,” says Vero taking two plates to get Chris’s and her dinner.
“Bella, do you think we should make it a bridal shower of lingerie or house appliances?” asks Paty smiling.
“Oh, I think that the lingerie will be fun. We all know how shy and quite both of them are,” replies Bella smiling wickedly.
“It’s funny how the two quiet and shy ones are the ones getting married first. What’s up with that? Are we too aggressive?” asks Claudia turning to look at las primas.
“I think that they just found their amor, su alma gemela. It happens. I just hope my alma will hurry up and come. I don’t want him to take forever to get here,” says Bella looking up at the sky.
“I know what you mean prima, I want someone to hold also,” says Paty looking at the new couples. Each couple appears truly in love and as if they are gazing right into their alma.
Christian, Javier, and Tony hear them and start to laugh. This causes their hermanas and primas to gang up on them. They punch them. It still didn’t stop them from laughing at them.
Christian catches one of his primas and hugs her. “It is okay prima Claudia, I’ll help you. I will bring you mis SEALS for you to select from. You might find one among them that meets all your requirements,” says Chris grinning, releasing her, running to the other side of the tables.
“Chris you’re an ass. I think that you’re the one that needs help. I have lots of amigas that will love you. So get ready at las bodas. There will be nowhere that you can hide,” says Claudia smiling wickedly.
“As long as they are hot, that’s all that matters,” says Tony coming to Christian’s defense.
“I so pray that you or Alex is the next one to fall,” says Paty “I hope that you’re worse than Ricky is with Jacki.”
“Now, primas, hermanas, what did I ever do to you to deserve your ill wishes,” asks Alex walking up to the group. “You should be nice to us. You only have us to hang with at the clubs now that they’re all getting married.”
“You all know that they will be too busy with their amor to bother with us,” says Javier nodding at the couples.
“Javier, have you decided not to re-enlist?” asks Paty “I think that you should go back to school and work for us.”
“No hermana, I really don’t know what I really want,” replies Javier giving her a hug.
“Alex, do you want to go out with Chris, Tony and me to the clubs. We saw some hot chicas last weekend. I think you’ll like them too,” asks Javier looking over at Alex.
“You know primo I think I will. Its sounds like fun,” says Alex nodding “Let’s hurry and have our dinner so we can have some fun.” Los primos walk away from las primas and hermanas, excited to get going.
“Yeah, it figures, that’s all they think about,” says Claudia observing them walk away.
“Well it’s time to go familia,” says Ricky pulling Jacki up and into his side from the dinner table. They went to his padres and tios to say adios.
I really can’t wait to have my reina all to myself. I don’t know if I can last not seeing her until manana after work. It’s going to kill me. It has been too short a time that we have spent together. We have a lot of things to discuss, plan, and make love. Yeah, thinks Ricky. He smiles thinking about making love. “Mi reina, I need you,” he whispers into her ear feeling her tremble.
Jacki turns and looks into her baby’s ojos. Si every minute I feel that I’m falling deeper in love with him. He’s todo that I ever dreamed my esposo will be, she thinks, smiling.
Gabriel pulls Erica into his side. They walk over to her padres and tios to say adios. Then they waved to las primas.
Jessy and Jose Enrique are still talking to Paty, Bella, and las bebe’s. “I am so feliz for mi hermana,” says Bella looking at Gabriel.
“Yeah prima, Erica is very lucky,” says Claudia. “I want one like him.”
Chapter Thirty-One
Ricky and Jacki are on Jacki’s padre’s home. They’re standing in the driveway talking about their plans for the next few days.
They’re leaning against his red hot sporty carro. Ricky is embracing her, his arms wrapped around her small waist. My reina is muy bella and sweet.
“Mi reina I love you,” says Ricky pulling her closer to give her a hungry beso. Si she’s hot and muy passionate. I love tasting every single inch of her sweet mouth. His manos start wandering to her sweet tight rear end, grasping her, pulling her closer against him.
Jacki pulls away from the beso. I need to ask him when I should expect him manana. “Baby, are you going to call me manana? Are you going to come over for dinner at mis padre’s casa? Do you rather we went out to eat dinner? Do you want to go to your padre’s casa for dinner? You will be here early from work?” asks Jacki. “I can go into work so we can have lunch together.”
“Si mi reina, but it’ll be real crazy manana and I really don’t want you going through that. I will call you from the office. I will also be here by five. We can decide then what we want to do, okay,” says Ricky holding her tightly in his brazos. “Mi reina, I can’t wait to have you in my cama every night. I will be able to love you, hold you whenever I want, and I don’t want to let you go.”
“Baby I know, I don’t want to leave you, I want you with me in mi cama. I love you,” says Jacki in a small sad voz. “I thought we would be together since we’re married. I don’t get this. We’re adults.”
“I know mi reina. It has to do with the Mexican traditions, customs, and beliefs. You know one of the biggest reasons is that in our padres eyes were not truly married until we’re married in the church ceremony. Mi reina, I can understand the reasoning behind that, but I also know as an attorney that we’re legally married and you’re mi esposa. This is what makes it so hard for me to honor our padre’s wishes. I want to take you to my casa with me. Your mia, only mia for all eternity,” says Ricky with frustration burying his cara in her neck.
Ricky and Jacqueline are holding tight, whispering their love, and wants. They’re not aware that Jose Enrique and Jessy have arrived.
Jose Enrique and Jessy slowly walk up to the walkway. They don’t want to interrupt Ricky and Jessy. It looks like they’re in a deep discussion. Soon they’re next to them and stop.
“Primo you’re still here? What’s up? Are you okay?” asks Jose Enrique with concern.
Ricky turns to look at his primo without letting go of Jacki. He looks straight into his primos eyes. “No primo, no problemas, just talking,” says Ricky. “Since you’re here, I want to let you know that I decided that Jacki will stay home manana. I don’t want her going through all the questions and media manana. I already told Bella and Paty. I just want to let you know.”
“You know primo, I didn’t think of that. Your right and manana is going to be crazy with your elopement, media, and announcement of my engagement. It’ll be a crazy day manana for sure,” says Jose Enrique nodding in agreement. “I can see what you mean. I agree with you, Jacki should stay home.”
“Good,” says Ricky turning to whisper into Jacki’s ear.
“Buena’s noches Ricky,” says Jessy walking to la casa.
“Buena’s noches Jessy,” answers Ricky before kissing Jacki, pulling her even closer, and holding on to her sweet tight rear. Ricky just can’t bear the thought of leaving her. She’s supposed to be with me. Mi reina
is mia, only mia.
My baby is so scrumptious, I just want more. I will have to be strong for both of us. We have to honor our padre’s wishes. Oh dios mio, I love him, she whimpers in his arms with need.
Ricky whispers in Jacki’s ear, nibbles her ear lobe, causing a delicious shiver throughout her body. “Mi reina, I want you, I want you now. I want you en mi cama,” says Ricky with need in his voz.
“Baby you know I feel the same. That’s why we married. I don’t want to let you go home. All I want is to be with you, always,” says Jacki. “Baby I think that I need to go inside before my papa gets upset. It has been at least thirty minutes since Jessy went in. I don’t want mi papa to set any funny rules.”
“Mi reina, don’t even think that, I get depressed just thinking about having a time limit, no way. You’re mi esposa. I’m only honoring our padre’s wishes because I don’t want to start off on the wrong foot with either padre’s. I love you. I will call you manana mi reina.” says Ricky.
They walk up to the front door. Ricky reluctantly lets his esposa go. Ricky waits until Jacki steps into la casa. Jacki blows him a beso. Ricky smiles, but not with his corazon, Ricky is not feliz.
Chapter Thirty-Two
Ricky strides into Jose Enrique office waving the newspapers in his manos. “Jose Enrique read this. They have me on the front page with my reina. I don’t know how they got this picture of us in Vegas. These damn media is everywhere. Look at the heading. I can’t believe that’s how the world saw me as a playboy.” says Ricky shaking his head. He flops down onto the chair in front of Jose Enrique’s desk.
Jose Enrique picks up the newspaper, immediately sees his primo and his esposa on the front page. It’s kind of funny. Well at least we’re getting free advertisement, thinks Jose Enrique with amusement, glancing at Ricky. “Well primo, you and Jacki look real nice in that picture. Why are you upset? You did date a new chica every week. What did you expect? It could have been worse. We’re getting free advertisement. Thank you,” says Jose Enrique grinning.
“Primo I’m simply feliz that mi reina isn’t here to deal with this. I love her and I don’t want her hurt in anyway. I don’t want any of las mujeres that I dated to even come near her. You know how chicas get ideas in their minds about what they felt was going on in the relationship. I didn’t have any relationship with any chica. I only have a relationship with my reina. That’s it,” says Ricky standing.
“Si I know what you mean. I look back at las mujeres that I dated and none of them come close to mi amor. Your right in that they were merely there. They didn’t reach me in anyway,” says Jose Enrique. “Wow, look at this. The media even found out about my engagement and also Erica’s. They really are into everything. No big deal. We’re not trying to hide our engagements and marriage from the world.”
“Si, I noticed that. I don’t see any problemas at all with the media announcement. Like you said, we have every right to get engaged, and to get married. I just don’t want them to say anything negative about my reina. Everything will be alright,” says Ricky nodding in agreement. “Yeah we gained free advertisement primo.”
“Si, now we simply have to work on taking advantage of this moment,” says Jose Enrique smiling at Ricky.
Jose Enrique phone rings, he answers. “Yes, Ms. Jones.” It’s his secretary.
“Mr. De La Cruz, Ms. Nicole Smith and Ms. Vicki Smith are here to see you and Mr. Ricky. Will you like me to show them into your office?” asks Ms. Jones with concern in her voz.
Ms. Nicole Smith and Ms. Victoria Smith are the twins that Jose Enrique and Ricky dated off and on a few months ago. Jose Enrique and Ricky dated them when they were in town. They’re both models and are always busy. Tall, blond and blue eyed.
Jose Enrique and Ricky were only having a good time, nothing serious. They enjoyed their company when they were in town. That’s it, period.
Jose Enrique looks at Ricky with disbelief, thinking, how did we forget about Nicky and Vicky? Oh, Dios Mio.
“Mr. De La Cruz will you like me to let them in?” asks Ms. Jones again, waiting for his reply.
Jose Enrique answers. “Ms. Jones take them to the conference room, we will join them in a few,” responds Jose Enrique with frustration. Damn we need to get rid of them and pronto, thinks Jose Enrique.
“I will do as you request,” says Ms. Jones ending the call.
“Ricky we need to see them. I forgot all about them. I know they will be furious. How can we forget about them?” asks Jose Enrique standing, throwing on his suit coat. Exceedingly frustrated and alarmed. “Jessy is here and I don’t want her to get the wrong idea. We need to take care of them, now! We need them to leave pronto. Ricky?” says Jose Enrique turning around to look at Ricky.
“Primo I’m scared stiff. What if my reina learns about Vicky? I don’t want her to hurt for anything. Vicky was just a fun time, nothing more. My reina is not here today, I hope nobody tells her,” says Ricky trying to take control of his emotions.
He stands. “Let me get my coat, wait for me,” says Ricky striding out of the office, quickly strides down the hall to his office.
Ricky is nervous, sweating, and pale. Ricky is having an anxiety attack and he never has had one before. Ricky returns to Jose Enrique office, they both stride to the conference room. They need to clearly advise the twins that they’re not available.
Damn it. Vicky better just disappear from my vida. I don’t owe her a thing. All we did is go out and have fun, thinks Ricky with anxiety.
Jose Enrique and Ricky anxiously enter the conference room. The momento that they enter the room, the twins are ready, and they run to them. Nicky and Vicky are crying and yelling. They’re demanding explanations.
Jose Enrique is endeavoring to push Nicky away from him. Ricky is also attempting to push Vicky out of his arms. The chicas wouldn’t budge. The twins are holding on to them for their dear life.
Jose Enrique doesn’t know what to do, I need to get Nicky to let go of me before someone sees them. I don’t want to risk losing mi amor, he thinks with anxiety.
Ricky is genuinely terrified. I need to get Vicky away from me before Jessy or someone sees us. I don’t want my reina to hurt in any way and I definitely don’t want to lose her, thinks Ricky alarmed.
“What are you two doing here,” asks Ricky with a cold look in his green eyes. “We haven’t heard from both of you since weeks ago and now you just show up? What do you want? Whatever you want Vicky, I’m not interested. I’m extremely in love with my wife.”
“Yes, ladies we want you gone and out of our lives. I’m not interested in anything you have to say Nicky. Our relationship has been dead for several weeks. I’m engaged and in love with my fiancée,” says Jose Enrique coldly. “I will call security to escort you two out.” he attempts again to get her away from him.
“What do you mean it’s over? We were away on a contract and we were unable to call. We now returned to learn that you’re engaged and Ricky is married,” whines Nicky pulling Jose Enrique down, attempting to kiss him. “Baby your mine.”
“Nicky you need to let go of me, now.” says Jose Enrique with anger and frustration in his voz.
Nicky and Vicky commence to cry, screaming that they love them, and that they’re not going to just let them go. “Baby I love you, I’m not letting you go,” yells Nicky pulling Jose Enrique.
“Let go of me Vicky, now!” says Ricky in a very cold tone. Vicky starts to sob louder, along with her sister.
“Why are you doing this to us, we love you. We thought that we were going to marry,” cries out Nicky.
Jose Enrique and Ricky are attempting to get the twins to let go of them without causing any physical harm to them.
“Si Jessy, I am sure that Jose Enrique is waiting for us. He wants to review the list you have comprised, per his request,” says Paty smiling, looking at her amiga.
“Okay, I’m so excited amigas. I can’t wait to get started,” says Jessy with a huge feliz smile.
&n
bsp; “We need to also review if we can hire an assistant for you Jessy,” says Paty nodding her head in thought.
Jessy, Paty, and Bella turn the corner, walking down the hall, heading towards Jose Enrique’s office.
Las amigas stop after turning the corner. They can hear crying coming from the conference room. Concern with who can be crying they rush into the conference room.
The entire room occupants turn to look at the Jessy, Paty, and Bella with shock.
Jose Enrique and Ricky lose their coloring, sweating like crazy. They take advantage of the distraction and they shove the twins away from them.
“Dios mio,” says Jose Enrique, endeavoring to gain control of the situation.
Jose Enrique can perceive the hurt and anger that Jessy is feeling in her hermoso golden ojos. What hurts him the most are the tears that are threatening to spill from her eyes.
Jose Enrique strides to her, pulls Jessy into his arms. “Mi amor it’s not what it appears. Please believe me. I have not heard or seen her in twelve weeks. We never expected them to show up,” holding her tight, feeling her shaking with anger, and with hurt. Jose Enrique feels and hears her excruciating sobs.
“Mi amor please believe in me, don’t cry,” begs Jose Enrique rocking Jessy in his arms, kissing her tears away.
Ricky walks over to the phone, calls security. “Yes, I want two officers to come up to the management conference room. We need you to escort two young ladies out of the building, immediately,” snaps Ricky with anger and frustration.
Ricky turns around to look at the twins with a cold expression. “I want this to be real clear to you Vicky. Our liaison ended weeks ago. I’m extremely happy and in love with my wife. I want you to stay away from me. I’m not interested, period,” says Ricky angrily striding out of the cuarto with frustration and fear.
Bella and Paty are looking at the two bella twins. They have heard from los primos that Jose Enrique and Ricky dated twins when they were in town. They also know that they were not seriously involved with them.
