Hot & Wild (De La Cruz Saga) (3 page)

Christian is astonish and looks her over.
Damn,
look at who I ran into. It’s a bella hot chica and I have never seen her
before. She has a beautiful heart shape face with huge hazel eyes that are
fringed with incredible long eye lashes.
His eyes travel from her eyes to
her sweet soft full lips. He’s instantly tempted to touch her shiny golden
brown hair.

She’s dressed in a nice black suit with real sexy high
pumps. Yeah, look at her legs. She’s real hot. She almost reaches my shoulders
.  
Oh yeah, look at her, she looks like she had an
interview. I hope she gets the job
, contemplates Christian with interest.

Monique runs right into Christian and she drops her
portfolio and purse.
What happened? Did I run into a wall? That hurt
,
ponders Monique. She tries to not fall down, she grabs onto Christian’s leather
jacket.

Monique looks up into the most beautiful green eyes
with long black lashes.  
Dios mio, what a hunk,
thinks Monique
. I can
feel all of his muscles. Wow he’s hard as rock, tall and
muy
sexy. Oh boy he
looks like a bad boy, yeah
.

Christian smiles at the bella chica showing off his
beautiful dimples. His smile causes Monique to forget where she’s at. She’s
unable to turn away. She remains in his embrace, gazing into his
hermosos
green eyes.

“Are you okay?” asks Christian, smiling. He looks her
over to see if she’s hurt.
She’s so incredibly hot. I can just taste her,
ponders Christian with pleasure.

“Yes, thank you for keeping me from falling. With
these high heels, it’s hard to keep your balance when you run into a mountain,”
replies Monique with amazement. She continues to look him over.  
Incredible,
who would have known that such a bad boy would be here?

“Sorry. Let me help you pick up your things,” responds
Christian. He retrieves her portfolio and purse. He then hands them to her smiling
with intense pleasure. “What’s your name?”

“Hi, I’m Monique Acosta,” answers Monique. “What’s
your name? Do you work here?”

“Yes, I work here,” replies Christian. “I was
delivering some material to the job site.”

“Oh? That sounds interesting,” says Monique.
He’s a
delivery guy, hmmm
, she ponders.

“I’m Christian ## ## Cruz,” says Christian at the
exact same moment that Ricky turns the corner and asks what’s happening.

Monique didn’t hear De La Cruz, she only heard
Christian Cruz.  

“What happened here? Christian is everything okay?”
asks Ricky as he starts to help pick up the paperwork that Christian dropped.

“Yes, Ricky, we turned the corner at the same time and
collided,” replies Christian. He turns to smile at Monique.

“Yes I’m okay Mr. De La Cruz, thank you,” replies
Monique blushing.

“We should put some mirrors at the corners so we can
prevent these accidents. I ran into Jacki right here also,” says Ricky as he
gathers the papers.

“Can I walk you to your car?” asks Christian. He’s
praying that she will agree.

“I think that you have some errands to do,” replies
Monique. She looks at the paperwork that Ricky hands Christian.

“Yes I do, but I can return in a few minutes to turn
the paperwork in,” says Christian smiling at Monique.

Monique observes Christian,
hmmm he’s so hot
. “Okay,”
says Monique. She starts walking down the hall.
Well this bad boy wants to
walk me to my car. He’s incredibly sexy,
ponders Monique.                    

“Do you work here Monique?” asks Christian. He gazes
at her smiling
. I need to get her number,
thinks Christian.

“No, not yet, but I will,” replies Monique smiling
with confidence. She glances at Christian. “I just had an interview for the
Interior Decorating Design assistant. I know I will get it.”

“I also know you will get the job,” replies Christian smiling,
nodding.

Yeah, she looks like she has everything under control,
thinks Christian. “Did you park on
the street or the parking garage?”

“I parked in the parking garage on the 2
^nd
floor,” replies Monique. They reach the elevators and she stops to wait for one
to arrive.  

“Good thing you parked there. It makes it a lot easier
to find a parking space in the garage.  It’s hard to find a space to park on
the street,” says Christian contemplating her.

The elevator arrives to the 2
^nd
floor and
they exit. Christian follows Monique to where she parked.

“Monique do you think you can give me your cell
number? I would like to invite you out,” asks Christian looking at her. He
prays that she says yes.
She’s so hot and sexy
, ponders Christian.

“I don’t know Christian. I just met you,” replies
Monique looking at Christian.
Wow, amazing. He’s a real sexy bad boy. I love
his dimples. He works here. He must have good qualities if he works here,
right,
ponders Monique
.
 “Okay I will give you my cell number. Give
me your cell and I will key it in, okay?”

Christian lets out his breath.
Yeah! I didn’t
realize that I was holding my breath
, thinks Christian grinning. He hands
her his cell phone with pleasure.  

Monique quickly enters her cell phone number and hands
his cell back to him, smiling.

“Thanks, I’ll be calling you. I plan on going to the
club tonight, do you want to go?” asks Christian hoping that she will say yes.

“Which club are you going to? I don’t know if I can. I
did make plans with my
familia
,” replies Monique smiling.  “Maybe
next time, okay?” 

“Okay, that sounds good. I will be calling you,” says
Christian smiling, flashing his big dimples.  

“That sounds great. Call me,” says Monique. She opens
the car door. She slides into the driver seat. She waves at Christian and pulls
out.

Wow, he’s such a hunk. I have to think about going out
with him. He does look like a bad boy and he’s a delivery guy. I definitely
want to meet Tony De La Cruz.

If I start talking to Christian, I could be missing
out on getting to know Tony. Oh, but he’s so hot,
ponders Monique biting her lower lip. She exits the
garage.

I’m going to have to call her later.  I need to work
on her. I need to take her out this weekend
, contemplates Christian striding quickly back into the building.

Jessy, Bella and Paty have several interviews all
morning. They decide on one of the candidates. They all agree on the candidate
that has the extra appeal of being a new graduate and with new fresh ideas.

“What I liked the most is the new concepts that she
presented in her portfolio. She has all the new technology, theory, and
knowledge that haven’t been warped. She doesn’t have the bad habits from any
other employer. We can train and mold her to our company philosophy and needs,”
says Bella nodding.

“I agree. I also like that she’s real excited in
working for the company and she has done her research on our buildings and
achievements,” says Paty with pleasure.

“I also think that she is the most qualified to be my
assistant,” responds Jessy. “Do you want to call her and offer the job? Maybe
we can get her to start next week. That will be a tremendous help.” 

“Okay, I will call after lunch and make her an offer,”
replies Bella nodding in agreement. She gathers her files and stands to leave.   

“Do you want to go to lunch with us?” asks Paty with a
wicked twinkle in her eye.
I know she has lunch with Jose Enrique
,
thinks Paty.

“
Amiga
you’re a brat. I will have my lunch
with my
vida
,” replies
Jessy standing, smiling. She gathers all of her paperwork.  

“See ya later after the call. I will advise you on her
start date,” says Bella walking out of the conference room with Paty.

Christian enters Jose Enrique’s office saying. “I have
some reports for you to read. There’s definitely something strange going on,
primo,” says Christian, sitting onto the deep burgundy leather chair. “I took
the material to the job site and nobody was there to receive it. I couldn’t
locate our site manager. I left the material at the job site. I put the guys to
work. The brick wall is being built. I don’t know what’s going on. We need to
look into this incident further. The reports will give you an idea of what I
observed.”

“Thanks primo, that was great. I know that they don’t
know who you are.  Do you know how many days of leave you have this time?” asks
Jose Enrique.

I wish that Christian finally decides to work at the
la familia company.  We really do need him. Christian has abilities, skills,
and knowledge that we need in different areas of the construction sites
, thinks Jose Enrique, observing Christian.

“Primo I only have until Sunday. Why do you ask? 
Don’t you have anybody else that can monitor those workers on the site?” asks
Christian with concern.

“We do have managers for the sites. I know that you noticed
that they’re not very responsible. I’m on their cases all the time. I can only
go to the field once and or sometimes twice a week. I feel it’s costing us
money in different areas. The jobs are taking longer than projected. The
materials are not delivered or are incorrect. Sometimes we have materials
disappearing. The quality is not there. I need someone that will be on top of
monitoring and motivating the workers at the job sites,” says Jose Enrique,
contemplating Christian.

He leans back in his chair looking at his primo.  
I
know he would be just right. It would be something that he would enjoy. The
different jobs and areas will keep him busy
, thinks Jose Enrique.

“When is your duty over? Have you thought about coming
to work with the familia? We really do need you. We need your skills and
knowledge, primo. You know that this is your company, right?” asks Jose Enrique
with intent.

“Primo my duty is complete in six months. I don’t know.
I really haven’t thought about it. I see that you really do need me. I will
think about it, okay?” says Christian looking at his primo.

I can see that la familia needs me to start
participating in the company. I can keep the workers on the job site motivated
and have them complete the jobs on time. I can keep track of the materials and
quality.  I know that I can do this job. I will think about it,
ponders Christian.

“Primo that will be great. We would love to have you
here. You are needed. I hope you decide to stay with us,” replies Jose Enrique
grinning with pleasure.  
Yeah my primo will come to work with us. I know it.
He will do a great job
, believes Jose Enrique.  

“Okay primo, review the reports and call me if you
have any questions. Are we hanging out at the club tonight?” asks Christian
standing to leave. “I will see ya later. I have some errands to do.”

 “Yes primo, we’ll see you at the club.  The primos
will be there as always,” replies Jose Enrique standing to walk with his primo
to the elevator.

“I will be talking to Gabriel in a bit. We have a job
proposal for the demolishing department. We believe that he would do well in
that department,” says Jose Enrique gazing at Christian to gauge his reaction.

“Primo, Gabriel specializes in demolishing and
explosives. He’s well qualified and has years of experience. If you need
someone that can run the demolishing department, Gabriel will be a good choice,”
replies Christian. He looks at his primo.  

Gabriel is my best SEAL bud. He’ll be my brother in law,
ponders Christian. “You know primo, that he’ll be familia
soon.  He’s leaving the Navy for Erica. He’s a good
hombre
and has the knowledge, skill, and experience.”

“Yes, I know primo. I just want your feedback. I know that
you probably know him better than anyone else,” says Jose Enrique, smiling. He’s
feliz
that Gabriel will be a great demolishing manager.

“Yeah I know. I’m glad that we’re able to offer him a
job. It will make Erica extremely feliz,” responds Christian. “Besides Erica is
also part of company.”

“Yeah, it would be great to have someone working here
that is representing Erica. Erica will always want to teach,” replies Jose
Enrique, nodding in agreement.
