“Si, primo, and gracias for coming,” said Alex, smiling.

  “Hola, hermano,” said Bella, walking into the cuarto with her esposo, Gregory. “Como estas?”

  “Adiós,” said Jose Enrique. “See ya later.”

  “Adiós, primo,” said Bella, Gregory, y Alex.

  The familia Sunday dinner is a little quiet. The entire familia are praying for Alex y su esposa’s recovery. Tio Jose Arturo y Tia Maria are at the hospital with Alex y su esposa.

  The two recently married couples went on their luna de miel with heavy hearts. There are not very many at the Sunday dinner.

  Tia Lupe y Tio Jorge arrived late with devastating news. “Compadres, mis hijos, we just received a call from the FBI department where Claudia works. We were informed that Claudia has been kidnapped by the Mexican Cartel. The mission she was conducting was unsuccessful,” said Tio Jorge with tears in his ojos. “We need to pray that Claudia returns to us unharmed,” he said in a broken, raspy voz. Tio Jorge looks around la familia. “Familia, we are not in the mood to stay and have dinner. Mi Lupe y yo, we’re too overwhelmed. We need to go para la casa and rest.” Tio Jorge takes his esposa’s mano walks out of Sunday dinner.

  The remaining familia finished their Sunday dinner with sadness. The tone is very low and quiet. They all assisted in cleanup quickly and then went home.

  CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE

  YEAH, IT’S FINALLY FRIDAY, AND it is time to relax with mi amor. Si, I’m going to enjoy mi novia, thought Jose Enrique, smiling as he walks up to get Jessy.

  Jessy is ready and opens the door quickly once she sees him walk up the walkway. “I’m ready, mi vida,” she said stepping out of la casa.

  “I’m hungry.” said Jessy looking at Jose Enrique with warm adoring golden brown ojos. Hmmm … he always looks gorgeous. I really like his deep emerald green cotton shirt that brings out his hermoso green ojos. Of course he always smells scrumptious.

  “What do you want to eat?” asks Jose Enrique, pulling her into his brazos for un beso y un hug. Yeah, this is what I love, he thought, loving her smell. I love the dress that she has on. It’s so incredibly sexy.

  Jessy is wearing a halter top dress that is fitted at the waist in a beautiful, soft baby blue. Mi amor looks real feminine and sexy. Hmm … I can’t wait to see her panties, thought Jose Enrique, running his hands up and down her bare back.

  “Somewhere good,” she said, giving him un beso with todo su amor.

  Jose Enrique takes her mano and walks to his carro. “I think that we should have some Mexican food. I feel like eating some tacos.”

  “Si, mi vida, that sounds really good,” she said, leaning against the seat.

  They went to eat dinner and ran into Carlos y Paty. “Have a seat with us,” said Paty smiling at her hermano and best amiga, Jessy. “We just ordered.”

  “Si, Jose Enrique, Jessy, have a seat,” said Carlos, taking a drink of his cerveza.

  “Claro we will,” responds Jose Enrique, assisting Jessy to sit down on the chair. “We’re real hungry, and what did you order?”

  “We ordered some flautas de pollo,” said Paty, leaning into Carlos’s hug.

  Now that we’re married, it makes it easier to be real affectionate and of course I just absolutely love it.

  “Hmm … that sounds real good,” said Jessy, taking a chip and dipping into the salsa. “Paty, I love your dress.”

  “Gracias,” said Paty, smiling. “I got some new outfits in Vegas. This one is mi favorite.” She is wearing a hot pink dress with spaghetti straps that crossed down the back with silver high heels sandals and silver chandelier earrings.

  “I know that you get real nice outfits in Vegas. Mona was telling me the cute outfits that she got,” said Jessy, taking a drink of her soda. “So you two set a date for the church ceremony? I know that we all have been so busy with all the recent events.”

  “Si, we managed to make time and went to talk to el padre during the week. We have selected Saturday, July 23,” said Carlos.

  “That is the weekend before our boda,” said Jessy, smiling. “It is the weekend after Mona and Christian’s boda.”

  “Yeah, it looks like we are having a boda almost every weekend,” said Jose Enrique, laughing and shaking his cabeza, grinning while thinking of todos los bebes that will be born.

  “Yeah, Alex y Carolina, Tony y Cynthia, and Bella y Greg still need to get a date for the church boda,” said Paty, laughing. “That’s not counting Javier, and who knows when Vero will marry Christopher. Claudia still needs to meet the one.”

  “Si, it’s amusing how everybody decided to get married at the same time. I can imagine how the concierge in Vegas must have been real surprised with so many De La Cruz’s wanting to marry. Especially por que todos were requesting these hasty weddings in such a short time,” said Jessy, grinning and taking another bite of her chip.

  “Well, I know that Javier plans to marry as soon as they can,” said Jose Enrique, looking at Jessy, winking.

  “Si, hermano, I know,” said Paty, smiling and thinking of her baby hermano. He has a real sweet and bella novia, and I’m real feliz with how in love they are.

  The waiter arrives to take their orders and to refill Paty’s soda. He refills the basket of chips and replaces the bowl of salsa with a fresh new bowl.

  Jose Enrique takes a drink of his nice, cold cerveza, enjoying his time with his hermana y esposo.

  It really worked out great that Carlos is also mi best amigo. Hmm … it is real funny because Jessy es mi hermana best amiga. This is really something that we never met until a few weeks ago.

  A few moments later Jessy y Jose Enrique started eating their dinner. “Hmmm … mi vida, this is really good,” said Jessy, taking another bite of her flauta.

  “Si, I like it,” said Jose Enrique, taking a bite of his flauta. “I’m glad that we came to eat some Mexican food.”

  “Si, I really love to eat here when I’m real hungry,” said Jessy, looking at Paty y Carlos enjoying their meal. “You two are going to the club?”

  “Si, we plan to go and spend some time with los primos, so we can chat,” said Paty. “I think that Bella y Gregory will be there, but Javier didn’t have leave.”

  “I know that Chris and Gabriel are not here. They didn’t have leave either,” said Carlos, taking a bite of his flauta.

  “Yeah, it means that Mona y Erica will not be at the club either,” said Jessy. “I really enjoy talking to Mona y Erica, and we all know that Erica doesn’t really enjoy going to the club.”

  “Si, I’m feliz that mis primos y hermano found such wonderful mujers,” said Paty. “We will have fun on our own, because now that I think about it the only ones that will be at the club is Bella y Gregory along with us.”

  “Yeah, hermana, you’re right, and I don’t think that Ricky is back from his luna de miel,” said Jose Enrique, thinking of the entire familia and the amazing events that have taken place within the last few weeks.

  What a mess we have with the cartel and Lopez. The government agency doesn’t want to give us any information on the cartel, and this sucks, thought Jose Enrique, taking another bite of his flauta.

  “You know that I don’t think that Alex y Carolina or Tony y Cynthia will be there. They are still not up to coming to the club,” said Jose Enrique. “They both were real lucky that they weren’t killed.”

  “Si, they are real lucky, y Dios is taking care of them,” said Carlos, thinking of their prima, Claudia, that is still missing, and the FBI doesn’t have a clue where she is. Hmmm … the FBI hasn’t given any updates. I wonder if Vero posing as Claudia worked and caused the cartel to bite the bait. Maybe Claudia is getting extracted right now. Shit I pray it is the case.

  “Si, hermano, and now we have to pray that Claudia is found alive,” said Paty, not wanting to think of the condition and state that she can be in.

  “I don’t know why the government agency can’t tell us more. It has made la familia real worried with the unknown status,”
said Jessy. “Vero has not been in to work, and I wonder if it has anything to do with Claudia.”

  “Mi amor, we have to remain positive and pray that mis primas, las bebes are okay. I have faith that the government’s professional agencies will bring our prima back alive and well,” said Jose Enrique, looking at Carlos y Paty nod in agreement.

  “Mi vida, I know that we need to have faith, but the cartel is ruthless. And it scares me to think of what can be happening to Claudia,” said Jessy with fear in her cara. “We don’t know what else the cartel can do to la familia to force us to associate.”

  “Jessy, the government agencies are doing all they can to stop the cartel from forcing la familia from associating,” said Carlos smiling. “Is it not correct, Jose Enrique?”

  “Si, Carlos, the government is trying to stop and capture the cartel that is threatening la familia,” said Jose Enrique. “But I don’t know if it’s the same cartel that has Claudia. She is an FBI agent, and I don’t know if she is working on entrapping another cartel drug lord.” He shrugs, taking a drink of his cerveza.

  “Yeah, she could never talk about her missions,” said Paty. “We need to pray for mi prima that she’ll be safe and returns to us soon,” said Paty.

  “Si, we do, just like we prayed for Alex y Carolina,” said Jessy.

  “I’m so feliz for Alex y Carolina.” said Paty. “I just love bebes.”

  “Si hermana, las casas are going to be full of bebes,” said Jose Enrique, thinking of Jessy being pregnant.

  “I hope I get pregnant soon,” said Paty, looking at Jessy to see how she feels about it. Hmmm … Jessy is blushing, and that can only mean that she’s pregnant. “Okay, amiga, dime,” she asks, all excited.

  Jessy blushes and looks at Jose Enrique who shrugs his shoulders, smiling. Hmmm … how can we hide a pregnancy, and we’re getting married in a few more weeks. I wish that I had thought of marrying in Vegas. I’m the only one waiting forever to make Jessy mi esposa.

  “Si, Paty, I’m pregnant,” said Jessy, blushing looking at her best amiga.

  “Oh amiga, I knew that you and Jose Enrique would not be able to wait. I knew especially since you had been waiting for him forever. It’s okay. I will not tell,” said Paty, grinning turning to look at Carlos.

  Carlos is laughing so hard that he almost choked on his cerveza, turning red, trying to regain his breath. He looks at Jose Enrique, keeps on laughing. Just think that mi amigo is so conservative and by the book. Yeah, he couldn’t wait and play by the real old Mexican traditions and customs. Oh, this is too amusing, and I just can’t let it go. “Jose Enrique, so you had to play.” He laughs. “You didn’t even try to wait.”

  Jose Enrique is looking at Jessy who’s blushing, pulls her into his brazos while looking at Paty y Carlos. “No need to laugh,” he said, smiling. “So we did play.” He shrugs. It’s not like it isn’t happening every day and especially with los primos. I know that we all tried and waited until now to follow the Mexican traditions and customs.

  “So when are you going to find out if you’re pregnant, hermana?” asks Jose Enrique, smiling at his hermana. “You can get a blood test even if it is early. That’s how Tony y Cynthia confirmed that she is pregnant. Alex said that the blood test can be accurate even from the early stages of pregnancy.”

  “Oh really, hermano, I want to take a blood test,” she said, turning to look at Carlos, hugging him. “Corazon, let’s go mañana so I can get a pregnancy blood test.”

  Carlos looks down into his baby’s excited bella cara and smiles at her with todo his amor and passion. “Si, baby, we can do that mañana, but I know that you are,” he said, pulling her closer to give her a deep, passionate beso.

  Jose Enrique still can’t stand seeing Carlos kiss his hermana. It’s a hermano thing. Hmmm … I really should stop because they are married, and I really shouldn’t be mad. But she’s mi hermana.

  “Okay, it’s time to leave, and I hope you two keep this quiet at least until after the wedding,” said Jose Enrique, taking Jessy by the mano. “See you at the club.” and they walk out, leaving their tab on the table.

  “Baby, let’s go and have some fun. Then we can go home and make some love,” said Carlos, giving her another beso.

  “Si, corazon,” said Paty, standing up and putting her brazo through his right brazo. “Why do you think I’m pregnant?” she asks as they were walking out the door of the restaurant.

  “Baby, because I felt it when we made love the very first time. I know that mi bebe is growing, and I can’t wait to hold him.” He grins. “Why do you think I wanted to get married quickly, because I want you y mi bebe with me now.” He assists Paty into the carro, giving her another beso.

  “Okay, baby, I love you,” said Paty, very much in love and feliz looking at Carlos. Hmmm … I just never tire of looking at him. He is everything I ever dreamed mi esposo would be. I’m so feliz that everything is turning out great. Mis padres were very understanding, flexible, and supportive of our quick marriage.

  “Baby, we still need to look for our casa,” said Carlos, thinking of the long list of things to take care of.

  I also think I should look for another job because I don’t think I want to be a CIA agent and spend tremendous time away from mi esposa y bebe. No way in hell will I lose out in all of mi bebe’s new experience or mi Paty.

  “Si, corazon, we can look for una casa. Jose Enrique has un amigo that is a realtor, and I’m sure that he will want to assist us,” said Paty, smiling. “Do you want to stay in the same general area that mis padres live? Jose Enrique y Jessica, Ricardo y Jacki purchased their casa in the same neighborhood,” said Paty, looking at Carlos. Hmmm … we never had an opportunity to talk about this. We have been so busy.

  “Si, baby, we can buy a casa in the same neighborhood,” said Carlos smiling pulling her closer to him.

  CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX

  THE PRIMOS WERE ARRIVING AT the club to enjoy an evening, one couple after another. Gregory y Bella were last to arrive.

  Bella looks lovely in a green dress that made her amazing green ojos glow. The dress has a slit on the side exposing her beautifully toned leg. Hmm … mi baby looks real sexy, and I just love everything about her, thought Greg, holding her at his side with pride.

  “Hola,” said Bella, smiling at Paty, Carlos, Jessy, y Jose Enrique. They sat at their favorite table. The hombres went to get some cervezas. “Well, this is different. We always were here as a big group, and now it is only us, couples, this evening,” said Bella, turning to look at Greg as he sits down next to her, pulling her closer, giving her un beso.

  Hmmm … I just never tire of kissing mi Bella, thought Greg, holding her tight. I never knew how amazingly intoxicating this love por una mujer could be. I just have to keep her close, and the best thing has been that we are working all day together for the next couple of weeks. Yeah, this is heaven. “Do you want something to drink, baby?” asks Greg, starting to get up to get his cerveza.

  “Si, mi vida, I want some water,” said Bella, thinking, Yeah, I have to make sure to take care of mi bebe because I know that I’m pregnant. I can just feel it.

  “Do you want anything?” he asks Jose Enrique y Carlos, watching them shake their cabeza no.

  “No, I’m good,” said Carlos, looking at Paty to see if she wants anything.

  “No, thanks,” said Jose Enrique, pulling Jessy closer to whisper, “Mi amor, I love you, and I cannot wait to love you,” he said in her ear. “It’s not fair that I have to wait to marry.”

  “Si, mi vida, I know,” said Jessy, smiling y looking at her amigas. They sure were smart on eloping because now they can be together. Hmmm … but in mi case it probably wouldn’t had worked. Look at how mi hermana Jacki y Ricky suffered until the church boda took place. “Mi vida, we probably would have had the same issues as Jacki y Ricky did. Eloping would not have helped.”

  “I can always dream,” said Jose Enrique, thinking, Just mi luck, looking at the other two couples.

  “Let’s dance,” said Carlos, pulling Paty up to go to the dance floor. He quickly pulled her into his brazos, whispering how much he loves her while wrapping his brazos around her small waist. “Baby, I can’t wait to get home to love you,” he said, holding her tight and showing her how much he wants her.

  “Si, corazon, I want you,” she said, wrapping her brazos around his neck, pulling him closer for muchos besos.

  Oh dios mio, mi baby is killing me, and all I can do is give her besos, thought Carlos, feeling like picking her up and racing back home. No, we need to stay a few minutes to enjoy some time out of la casa and work. I need to control mi need. I need to take a deep breath.

  “I think that Carlos y Paty have the right idea,” said Jose Enrique, standing up and assisting Jessy to get up while taking her mano. They went to the dance floor and sighed in relief. Finally I get to hold mi amor, he thought, feeling Jessy wrap her brazos around his neck, pulling him down, whispering everything she wanted to love, and making him shudder in need. “Mi amor, you have to stop tormenting a hungry hombre.”

  “Si, I will when we get somewhere to love you,” said Jessy, kissing his neck and marking him. Hmmm … he is todo mio, y he is worth the long wait.

  “Baby, do you want to dance?” asks Greg, leaning in for another beso. Yeah, we don’t need to be dancing for me to kiss mi baby. I will only get harder and mi aching more intense if we dance, he thought, pulling back to look into her hermoso green ojos. “Baby, you’re so hermosa and just what mi madre prescribed.”

  “Si, mi vida, you’re all that and a bag of chips.” She grins, looking at his confusion. “Si, you’re everything I ever wanted plus a bag of chips.” Laughing at his expression and kissing him, feeling him pull her closer.

  “Baby, I can’t wait to get back home to love you,” said Gregory, kissing her neck and biting her. Damn, I just love her silky long pelo and everything about mi mujer, he thought, holding her with lots of amor.

  “Si, mi vida, but I do want to dance a few songs with you,” said Bella, looking at Greg nod his cabeza.
