Hot & Enchanting (De La Cruz Saga) (32 page)

“Baby, that sounds like lots of fun. I bet Jessy and Jose Enrique will also go. Okay pick me up at 5:30. I love you,” says Jacki nodding.

“Okay mi reina, I’ll see you in a little bit. Love you,” says Ricky ending the call striding to his carro.

Jacki leaves her room to look for her mama. “Mama where are you?” calls out Jacki anxiously looking for her mama.
I can’t wait to tell her all about the wedding plans
. 

“Mi hija I’m here in the kitchen making dinner. Are you and Ricky going to stay for dinner tonight?” asks her Mama Rosa. She’s cutting the tomatoes for the salad.

“No mama, Ricky said he wants to take me out to dinner and then to the club dancing. I’m sorry mama. I didn’t think of telling him that we should have dinner with you and papa,” says Jacki. She’s looking at her mama, hoping that she’s not hurt. 

“Mi hija, don’t worry about us. You enjoy your time with tu esposo.  I do understand.” says her Mama Rosas nodding. She looks at her bella hija.
I know that Ricky loves mi Jacki. There really is no need to worry about Jacki. She selected a fantastic hombre for su esposo
, contemplates Mama Rosas smiling.

“Okay mama, I need to get ready. Ricky will be picking me up soon. I love you mama,” says Jacki smiling leans in to give her a beso with todo su amor.

Ricky pulls into his reina
casa driveway, getting out in a hurry to see her. He knocks on the door hoping that his reina will answer. No such luck. Su mama answers.

“Mi hijo you don’t need to knock, this is tu casa,” says Mama Rosa. “Come in Ricardo.”

Ricky walks into la casa smiling.
I really like mi reina’s mama. She’s so sweet like mi reina,
thinks Ricky. He walks to the sofa to take a seat looking around, hoping to see Jacki walk into the living room.

“Do you want something to drink Ricardo?” asks Mama Rosa smiling with pleasure.
Si, he is a grand hombre and this makes me muy feliz,
ponders Mama Rosa.

“Gracias senora, I’m fine,” replies Ricky smiling.

“It’s getting closer for the wedding,” says Mama Rosa looking at the calendar.

“I know senora, estoy muy excited. I’m extremely anxious for la boda to get here,” says Ricky grinning, looking at his suegra.

Jacki walks into the living room, strides directly to Ricky. She goes up to him as he stands. Jacki reaches up, pulls him down for a hot beso.

Ricky quickly wraps his arms around his reina small waist sighing with relief. He hears Mama Rosa leave the living room to give them some privacy.

“Baby we need to go and have dinner I’m starving. I don’t know why I’m so hungry,” says Jacki taking Ricky’s mano, pulls him to the door calling out to su mama. “Mama ya mi voy (I’m leaving).”

Ricky thinks about what Jacki said about being real hungry.
Don’t pregnant women get real hungry? Yeah, almost time to take a test
, he
contemplates with pleasure, smiling.
Mi bebe is on his way, I just know it
.

“Where do you want to go to eat mi reina?” asks Ricky smiling with pleasure.
I’ll take her anywhere she wants as long as she eats everything,
thinks Ricky.

“I really have been thinking about Fettuccine Alfredo with some fresh baked pan. Hmmm it sounds so good,” says Jacki looking at her Baby open the carro door for her. She gives him a beso on the check, slides into the seat.

Ricky quickly drives to the restaurant so that Jacki can have some dinner
. I don’t want her to be hungry. She needs to be healthy for mi bebe,
thinks Ricky.

Jacki orders her Fettuccine Alfredo with some chicken and Ricky with shrimp, salad and some water.

“Mi amor, we only have two more weeks and then we’ll be married in our church ceremony. I just can’t wait. We should go early in the morning shopping for our furniture,” says Ricky taking her mano, pulling her closer to him.

Jacki looks at Ricky with todo su amor shining from su ojos. “Baby I love you. I’ll love to go to get our furniture, our bedroom set, it’s so exciting,” she takes a sip of water. 

“Baby I also want to get my kitchen appliances, I want to cook for you that week that we have for ourselves,” says Jacki.

Jacki pulls Ricky closer to kiss his check, going to his ear to whisper. “Baby I can’t wait to make love in our own cama. I want to put whip cream on you and lick the whip cream off you,” she pulls back to look at his
cara
.

She wants to see his expression, his eyes close. He pictures the whip cream on him, and he shudders, opens his eyes half way full of
pasión
. Ricky pulls her into his arms, kissing her with todo the hot burning
pasión
that she incites with her
fantasías
. 

Mi reina is driving me loco not only with her touch, taste, but also with her
fantasías
. I can just picture her licking the whip cream off me
, thinks Ricky, trembling with frantic need. 

Oh yea, I love it when he goes all wild with need
, thinks Jacki. She runs her fingers through his pelo, pulling him closer to respond to his hot beso.

The waiter strides to their booth and Ricky recalls where they’re at. Ricky pulls away from his reina very reluctantly. He looks at her with hot burning need, holding her close.

The waiter sets down the drinks, salad, and hot freshly baked bread that instantly spur Jacki’s hunger. “Hmm this smells so good,” says Jacki, taking a piece of the bread.

“Is there anything that I can get you sir?” asks the waiter looking at Ricky.

“No that’s it, just bring our main dish when it’s ready,” requests Ricky looking at Jacki eat the bread with so much gusto.

“Baby next week we’ll be able to start moving our things into our casa. I think that we should start with our bedroom, family room and kitchen. We can furnish the rest of the casa as we go. What do you think Baby?” asks Jacki looking at Ricky, eating her salad.

“Mi reina, I think that we’ll do whatever makes you feliz,” responds Ricky looking at his reina with amor.

“Hmm, thank you this is so good, I was starving,” says Jacki after she takes the last bite that she can eat.

“Baby we’ll go to the club for a little while? Then you will make love to me?” asks Jacki in Ricky’s ear making him shudder.

Ricky pulls her into his arms, kisses her ear lobe, and tells her everywhere he’s going to love her. He loves how she trembles.

Jose Enrique and Jessy enter the club. He hugs her real close to his side, draping his brazo over her small waist.

Los primos are near the bar and las primas just a few tables away. He approaches the table to sit down with Jessy. He pulls out the chair for Jessy to sit. Las primas wave and smile at them. 

“Mi amor do you want a margarita?” asks Jose Enrique smiling at Jessy.

“Si mi vida,” answers Jessy smiling. “Hi primas,” says Jessy looking at Bella, Paty, and las bebe’s. “
Are
Erica and Gabriel coming? Jacki and Ricky were leaving after we did,” says Jessy smiling.

“Amiga we hope so. We all told them to come and have some fun with us,” says Bella smiling looking around the club. “I want to dance.”

“Si, I want to dance also,” says Paty, looking round the club to see if anybody interesting shows up. “I probably have to dance with los primos.”

“Yeah I know what you mean. Maybe we should go to another club,” says Claudia gazing around room, not noticing anybody interesting.

“I know that someday I’ll meet mi amor, mi
alma
. I’m willing to wait,” says Bella, nodding taking a sip of her drink.

“Well I hope it’s soon, because todos are locating theirs,” says Paty pouting.

“Well primas, we’ll meet the one when dios wants us to, okay?” says Claudia taking a drink of her Corona swaying to the music.

“Just be patient, I know it’ll be soon. Look at Ricky and Jacki. Now that was quick,” says Jessy nodding with amusement.

“I know and they’re truly in love. You can see their amor when they gaze into each other eyes. Just like you, Jose Enrique, Erica, and
Gabriel. It’s amazing to see. I hope that I’ll find my
alma
gemela,” says Paty dreaming of su amor.

“I’m sure you will. Here comes Jacki and Ricky now. Look at them. They only have eyes for each other. It is amazing,” says Bella smiling.

“I know. I know that Jacki loves him a lot. She wouldn’t have eloped with him if she didn’t,” says Jessy looking at her hermana grinning with joy.

Ricky and Jacki approach the table, wave at todos. Jacki rests her purse down on the table. “We’re going to dance. See ya in a bit,” says Jacki at las primas.

Ricky pulls her away to the dance floor, quickly holds her in his arms, and talking to her in her ear.

“Te amo Ricardo,” whispers Jacki gazing into his eyes. “I want to stay only for a little while. I want to spend time alone.”

“Oh yeah mi reina,” replies Ricky pulling her closer. “We will leave in about an hour, okay?”

“Si baby,” replies Jacki pulling him down for a beso. She pulls back to gaze into his eyes.

“
Well, we’ll be lucky if
we can talk to them later. Ricky and Jacki could leave us again,” says Vero grinning with amusement.

“Yeah I know. It must be hard not to be able to be together even if they’re married,” states Bella nodding.

“I wouldn’t blame them if they disappear again before the night is over,” says Paty gazing at them.

“I know I would,” says Claudia. “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t cover for them.  If it was me, I would want you to cover for me.”

“Si, that makes sense and we’re adults. Our padres will not be hurt if they don’t know. I don’t know if los primos will cover for us though. They’re hombres and they still feel that they can do things that we can’t, even now,” says Bella shaking her head with amazement.

“I think that we should make a pack to cover for each other when we know that we have met the one, tu amor, tu
alma
gemela.  I wouldn’t want to be hiding to be with mi amor. We’ll all know when that person has arrived. Look at our sweet Erica. She is shy and sweet, but she still knew when she met su amor, su
alma
gemela,” says Claudia observing todas las primas.

“Si, especially when we’re engaged. I don’t want to be aching for mi amor and not be able to be with him,” says Bella smiling she looks out the window dreaming.

“I think that’s a grand idea,” says Paty nodding in agreement. “I know I’ll not want to wait until la boda to be with mi amor. I have waited long enough. I’m waiting for mi
alma
gemela. When I know I have
him, I know I’ll not wait. Why should we? We’re adults,” states Paty looking around the table at las primas.

“You have not said a thing Jessy, what’s up?” asks Vero looking at her with curiosity.

You would think that since she’s engaged, and so in love, she would put her two cents in
, ponders Claudia.
