Hot & Enchanting (De La Cruz Saga)

by Macias, P. T

  They arrive at the club in a few minutes and park. They enter the club and walk over to Paty and Bella. They’re standing at the bar waiting for them.

  “Hola amigas!” squeaks Paty hugging Jessy and Jacki.

  “Hola,” says Bella smiling and giving them a hug. “It was a great idea to go out tonight. I was bored.”

  “Hola Paty, Bella,” says Jacki smiling. “I’m glad that you two wanted to come. I feel like dancing and meeting someone.”

  “Okay chicas, you know the rule. You don’t leave without me,” says Jessy laughing at Paty, Bella, and Jacki. “We came together and we leave together.”

  “Okay, do you want me to order our drinks?” asks Jessy turning to look at the chicas with a raised eyebrow.

  “Si I want a margarita,” says Jacki smiling. She’s swaying to the music.

  “I want one,” says Bella smiling. “I see some nice chicos at the door, but that’s it.” She turns to look at the other side.

  “I don’t see anything spectacular,” says Paty looking over at Jacki. “What do you think Jacki?

  “I don’t know. I’m not interested in any of them, but I will dance if they ask me. I hope that maybe talking to one; I can like something about him. I can’t wait for my príncipe forever. I mean that, we need to give the chicos some breaks. They can’t be perfect,” replies Jacki smiling, blushing.

  “Don’t tell me that you’re still in love with my primo Ricky,” asks Paty observing Jacki’s expression and blush.

  “Ah Paty, hmmm , si and no. I’m, of course, trying to keep him locked up. I want to allow a Chico to enter my corazon. You know that Ricky doesn’t know that I exist,” replies Jacki blushing.

  Well I’m lying, but I don’t know if he’s interested. He seems interested, but for how long? Is it for the moment that he sees me? I can’t tell her about our erotic moment at the gym, geeze, thinks Jacki blushing looking away.

  “Well Jacki, I do understand. I don’t think that you should wait for Ricky to notice you. You know that he’s always busy with las chicas that chase him. I don’t know how he has time to even work,” says Paty laughing, shaking her head.

  “I agree with Paty, you have to forget Ricky. Don’t compare the chicos to him. My primo is not the norm,” says Bella grinning. “He was born with extra sex appeal.”

  “Si prima, you’re right,” agrees Paty laughing.

  “That’s exactly what we decided to do. We will forget the De la Cruz hombres, sorry amigas,” says Jessy smiling.

  “No worries, I would do the same,” replies Paty nodding.

  “Here comes a chico. Jacki, he’s looking at you,” says Bella smiling.

  “Okay, wish me luck,” replies Jacki smiling.

  “Hi, do you care to dance?” asks the Chico smiling, extending his mano out. He looks at Jacki waiting for her reply.

  “Si, I do,” replies Jacki nodding. She waves to Jessy, Paty, and Bella. Jacki follows the Chico to the dance floor. He holds her at the waist looking over her head. Jacki places her hands on his arms waiting for him to talk.

  “Are you enjoying yourself?” asks the Chico not looking at her, sweating.

  “Si, are you?” ask Jacki glancing up to see the Chico sweat and swallow nervously. “Do you come here often?”

  “Si I’m enjoying the dance and I do come here with mis amigos on the weekends. I have never seen you here before,” says the Chico taking a quick glance down.

  “I don’t usually come out to the clubs,” replies Jacki smiling up at him. Hmmm he’s not very confident, but he’s not really bad. He’s sort of nice looking.

  The song ended and the Chico looks quickly at Jacki. “Do you want to dance the next song?” asks the Chico.

  “Si that would be nice,” replies Jacki nodding. “What’s your name?”

  “My name is Ruben Casas, what’s yours. What do you like to do?” asks Ruben gazing down.

  “My name is Jacqueline Cortez. I usually like to read and work out at the gym,” replies Jacki smiling up at him. The song ends and the Chico escort her back to the bar. “Thanks for the dances,” says the Chico before leaving.

  She watches him leave and shrugs her shoulders. I think that we didn’t click and he knows it, thinks Jacki.

  Jacki takes a drink of her margarita watching Bella and Jessy dance. “So you didn’t like him?” asks Paty watching the Chico leave.

  “He’s okay Paty, but we didn’t click. You know what I mean,” replies Jacki nodding.

  “Si amiga, yeah I know. It happens all of the time. Sometimes I think why bother,” says Paty taking a drink of her margarita. “But I also know that our príncipe will not come to our casa and knock.”

  “No he will not and that’s why I decided to start going out,” says Jacki watching another Chico approach her. She dances with several chicos all night, but not one was able to catch her interest.

  The next morning Jacki wakes up early with anxiety. Oh dios mio. I need to get up. I need to see if Ricky is in his casa. I need to know if he stayed out all night, ponders Jacki taking a quick shower. It doesn’t matter that I stayed up late. I always have to wake up early to go see if he’s home.

  Si, I’m always checking up on him. I have been doing this for years. I know that this doesn’t help me to let go. I don’t know when I will stop doing this. I need to let go. I know that he’s not for me, thinks Jacki walking down the street.

  She turns the corner and smiles. Oh yeah, my baby is home. Uh, yeah, he’s not my baby. I only needed to know that he didn’t stay out all night. Gracias dios mio, now I can enjoy my day. I know that he goes to the club on Fridays. He goes out on Saturdays and usually with a chica. I know that he doesn’t stay all night. I know that he’s no saint, but it makes me feel better that he does return a casa.

  Jacki returns to her casa to have breakfast and enjoys her day with her familia. Si I know that Ricky will have dinner with his familia, thinks Jacki smiling.

  The next day Ricky is parking his carro. He gets out and notices Jacki walking to the elevators.

  Damn it, there’s my hot chica. Wow look at her sweet ass. Hell yeah, she has awesome legs. Oh yeah, real sweet. I’m going to die if I don’t get some. She has me hot as soon as I see her. Why haven’t I seen her before? I haven’t been able to talk to her at work. She’s driving me loco with need. This is too much, contemplates Ricky observing her enter the elevator.

  Damn it! I can’t follow her or talk to her at work. This is hell. Every time that I see her, my body responds instantly. Oh damn no, I can’t stand this, thinks Ricky adjusting himself.

  The elevator doors start closing as Jacki turns away from the panel after pushing the close button. Damn it, there’s Ricky. He’s looking at me, ponders Jacki moving quickly to the side. Omg he’s so hot and muy cute, cute. Calm down my corazon. He’s not for us.

  Jacki walks in a trance into her office putting her purse away, this is unbelievable.

  I’m encountering Ricky so often. I wonder why? I never ran into him in the last two years that I have been working here. I always saw him from afar and recognized that he is not for me.

  Ricky appears to want to talk to me. His hermosos green eyes were seeking me out. Yeah, right Jacki! Stop dreaming and start working, muses Jacki sighing as she turns on her computer to do some entries.

  Later that day Jacki is turning the corner in a hurry to leave. I have to make it to my dentist appointment, thinks Jacki.

  Ohhhh! Wow! Smash! All of the magazines and her purse went flying all over the hallway.

  Oh dios mio, thinks Jacki. She recognizes who she ran into, with huge hazel eyes looking up into the incredible green eyes of the De La Cruz.

  Oh dios mio, this De La Cruz is the sexy, guapo, wicked playboy hunk. Ricardo Emmanuel De La Cruz. Ricky, muses Jacki with intense anxiety. He’s my red hot wicked enchantment, my amor.

  Ricky quickly catches her, pulling her close to him, preventing her from falling onto the floor. He looks at Jacki, gazing into her h
uge hazel eyes.

  Wow, damn yes. It’s my hot muñeca that has been driving me loco. I wonder why she’s in such a hurry. She feels warm, luscious, and purely incredible. Look at her precioso huge, hazel eyes, contemplates Ricky with amazement.

  Ricky continues holding onto Jacki, he appears to be in a trance. Si, I need her closer, he thinks pulling her closer.

  Hmmm, she smells amazing, leaning in closer without thinking of what he’s doing.

  I’m instantly feeling the familiar response in my shaft. Damn I’m reacting to her nearness with extreme hot pasión. Why only with her? Wow, this pasión and need is incredible. I have never, ever felt this strong attraction with any other mujer, except for this one.

  I have been trying to get close to talk to her. This chica is driving me loco. The one that has me all worked up every time that I see her walk, swaying her incredible sweet ass.

  This feeling is incredible. She fits perfectly in my arms, she’s absolutely enchanting. I love her scent. Oh damn, I want her. I want some. Ricky pulls her closer to him holding her tight.

  Oh dios mio, is he for real? Why wouldn’t he let go? I know he loves todas las chicas. I honestly don’t think he likes me? I’m just a simple chica. He never did notice me before, and I spent lots of days over his casa with las bebes. Si las bebes, his hermanas Claudia and Verónica De La Cruz, ponders Jacki gazing at him with speculation.

  Si, that was years ago. Las bebe’s and I were only in junior high when I started spending time at his casa.

  I have buried that dream a long, long time ago. I try to bury my amor. I have accepted the fact that I’m not the kind of mujer that Ricky is attracted to. I would be a total nerd if it wasn’t for my hermana Jessy.

  Of course Ricky would want to take advantage of this opportunity to play. Once a playboy, he’ll always be a wicked playboy.

  Si, I will not acknowledge him. I’m not another one of his muñecas, that’s for sure. I will make sure of that. It doesn’t matter that he’s hot, sexy, and a deliciously wicked enchantment. I saw him with that puta, reasons Jacki.

  “So sorry, Señor De La Cruz, I wasn’t paying attention,” says Jacki pushing away from out of his embrace. “I’ll pick up all of my things immediately. So, so, sorry if I have caused you any delays.”

  Ricky feels like he’s barely waking up from a dream. Why is she pushing me away? Do I repulse her? I have never had a chica react like this. What’s wrong? Que pasa, what’s wrong with my hot muñeca? I don’t think that she dislikes me, thinks Ricky with bewilderment.

  Ricky realizes that Jacki is quickly retrieving all of her magazines. I need to assist this muñeca to retrieve her belongings. Si, maybe I can get my hot munecas name and number. I can still feel her warmth on my body.

  Ricky rushes to aid her, bending, retrieving her purse, handing it to her. “Here’s your purse muñeca. What’s your name,” asks Ricky with urgency.

  “Señor De La Cruz, I work in payroll. I’m an accountant. Si, I have been working here for almost two years,” replies Jacki with a polite smile. “I’m sorry and I’m in a hurry. I have an appointment. Thank you so much for assisting me in retrieving my purse.”

  Jackie quickly strolls down the hall, turning the corner, walking into the elevators.

  Si, I made it without giving him my information, thinks Jacki sighing with relief.

  Gracias Dios mio, the elevator is dropping off other employees, and I don’t have to wait around. I really don’t need any complications at work.

  I cannot believe him. He was holding me tighter and closer as time went on. I’m not one of his muñecas and never will be. He sure has some nerve. Si, I recognize that he’s scrumptious, hot, sexy, and electrifyingly wicked. I will always want him. My body burns with need. Si, my corazon will not stop from loving him. I also realize that todas las chicas want him. The entire media is always catching him with a different chica every week. I caught him with a chica a few days ago. That’s unreal.

  It’s not like he would like me or stay around long enough to get to know me. Just forget that he held you in his arms, even if it was heavenly.

  Jacki, uh, what’s wrong with you? I need to just forget it. He’s not for me. I have already buried him deep in my corazon once. I have to do it again. He’s keeps slipping out. Jacki is scolding herself as she opens her carro.

  * * *

  What happen? Where did she go? Why did my hot muñeca disappear before I was able to get her name? That’s extraordinarily odd, she appeared anxious to get away from me. Que pasa con esta chica (What’s wrong with this chica.). Chicas don’t run away from me. Damn no, las chicas chase after me.

  I can’t look for my hot muñeca. This will cause issues for la familia’s company and the moral of all of the employees. That’s why I never attempted to meet any of the attractive mujeres that work here. Oh well, it’s not to be today. I can’t seek her out, not good policy, ponders Ricky. I will find a way to get her name and number. She will be mia, only mia for eternity.

  He shrugs his shoulders and continues to his office. Ricky forgets about her for a little while.

  Chapter Five

  Damn I have to hurry up. I want to get to the office early. I need to see the hot muñeca. She’s driving me insane. I can’t sleep, what’s up with that, ponders Ricky exiting his carro.

  He strides quickly to the elevator praying to see her. Damn, she’s not here. This is the same time that I saw her yesterday. I need to see her and to talk to her. I need to get her name and number. This is the only way I can approach her, right before she goes into the building, contemplates Ricky.

  Hell, now I have to wait until lunch time. Ricky goes to work on his new contracts having a difficulty concentrating.

  Hmmm, I don’t have a novia and never had a novia. I haven’t dated any mujeres in the last few days. Wow this is incredible. It’s the longest time ever that I haven’t been with a mujer. I truly believe that I’m tired of messing with all of these viejas locas. I’m done with them.

  My mujer needs to be sweet, hermosa, and hot. She has to be mia, only mia. Yeah I don’t want una loca mujer. I want una buena mujer with my traditional Mexican values and customs.

  I wonder if any exists in today’s world. Yeah that will be a true reina for me. Si she’ll be my reina. She will be only mia, solo mia for eternity. Hell yeah, I need my hot chica, considers Ricky smiling.

  Ricky finishes the last contract, stands to take it to Jose Enrique for his review. Well it’s time to give Jose Enrique these contracts, ponders Ricky unhappily, walking out of his office.

  I made it on time and Jose Enrique will not know that I was running behind. I don’t know why I’m not able to concentrate. All I do is think about my hot muñeca. I can’t get her out of my mind. I don’t know why.

  Is it because I can’t talk to her? Is the fact that she keeps running away from me and not to me the enchantment. This is amazing. I have never had to chase las chicas. This is awesome. I need to talk to her, contemplates Ricky striding down the hall.

  Ricky enters Jose Enrique’s office handing him the contracts. “Primo, here are the contracts for our clients that we have scheduled for today. Review them and advise if you want me to change anything,” says Ricky starting to walk out of the office.

  “Primo, wait up, I want to make sure that you’re ready when our client arrives. Also, I want your evaluation after the meeting. And I want to have an early lunch so we can work out,” says Jose Enrique watching Ricky with curiosity. Hmm I wonder what’s up with Ricky, wonders Jose Enrique.

  “Okay, primo. I’ll order our lunch and get Tony to work out with us,” replies Ricky nodding. He strides out and goes down the hall, turning the corner.

  “Buenos dias prima, it’s almost tardes,” says Ricky grinning walking into his prima’s office. “Bella are you busy tonight?” asks Ricky taking a seat in her office, smiling. “We’re all going to the club tonight. Jose Enrique would like you to get las prima’s and mis hermanas to go,” says Rick
y, swinging his legs up to rest his feet on the edge of the desk.

  “Ricky, I think that sounds like fun, and I will tell them. The one I will have to work on is my hermana Erica, you know how she is. Maybe I can talk her into going,” says Bella looking out the window thinking.

  “Okay Bella, see ya later tonight. Jose Enrique, Tony and I will be in a meeting this afternoon with a new client. We’re taking a little earlier lunch so we can work out. Do you want to join us at the gym?” asks Ricky with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes standing up to leave.

  “Uh, no, that’s ok. See ya later,” replies Bella waving him off.

  “Okay, I have to take care of a few issues,” says Ricky walking out the door. He walks down the hall turning the corner.

  Wow its lunch time and I’m hungry, I need to go to lunch. I always have lunch by myself, because everybody starts their days later. I’m beginning to believe that I’m always alone and I really need to socialize. I don’t want to end up alone and old with only a cat for company, yeah, muses Jacki laughing walking down to the coffee shop down the street.

  Ah, damn Yes, I see my hot muñeca, and it looks like she’s going to have lunch. Should I follow her out to the parking lot and see if I can talk to her? Will this be breaking my policy of dating the employees? I really want to talk to her, contemplates Ricky observing her.

  She hasn’t seen me. She truly is a belleza and she calls out to me. Oh yeah, my body is on alert already. I know that it will be amazing to have unos besos, to hold her, and to love her. Si I truly need her. I want her.

  Oh well she’s gone. I need to order our lunch and go to pick it up. Si, I really need some fresh air, I will walk down to the coffee shop, thinks Ricky striding to his office.

  Jacki is walking down to the outside lunch benches to sit down to have her lunch. Yeah this area looks real inviting today. I never sat out here to have my lunch, but today is a beautiful dia. These benches are under these beautiful trees. The area is enclosed by these awesome rose bushes. It smells heavenly. This is awesome.

  Only a few employees use this back exit, si I shouldn’t be interrupted at this time, Jacki reflects sitting down to eat her sandwich. She pulls out a romance novel from her purse, sighing.
