Chapter 3

A/N: I don't own twilight Stephanie Meyer does.

CarlosPOV:

I can't believe I let Fernando talk me into picking up this spoiled princesa. He owes me big time for this. I can't believe she really expected me to lug around her bags for her like some servant boy. I can't stand rich spoiled girls like her. Of course she's beautiful and she definitely knows it. She keeps giving me this weird look. I hope she's not on drugs. I really don't want to have to put up with some drugged out socialite all summer.

"Are we almost there yet?" She says staring out the window. "Don't worry princesa you'll only have to suffer a few more minutes with me." I say really not wanting to deal with her. "That's not my name so stop calling me that." She snaps at me. Feisty isn't she. "Sorry, so what is your name anyways?" I say trying to be nice since my uncle will be asking if I treated her well. "My name is Renesmee. What's yours?" She asks flatly. "Carlos. It's nice to meet you Ren." I say. "Don't call me that. My friends call me Nessie." She snaps at me again. "Well I'm not your friend so I'll call you Ren because I can't pronounce the rest of your name." I say getting annoyed again.

She just glares at me and turns her attention back to the outside. We pass the sign signaling we are entering Rincón. It's a nice resort town. The beaches here are amazing and are great for surfing. We drive up a steep hill and finally pull up to my uncle's small hotel. It's more like a bed and breakfast. "La bienvenida a un paseo por las nubes." I say to her. She looks at me and I can tell she has no idea what I just said. "Sorry, I really didn't pay attention when my dad tried teaching me Spanish. What did you just say?" She asks genuinely wanting to know. "I said welcome to a walk in the clouds. That's what my Uncle named his hotel because it's so high up in the mountains." I tell her. "A walk in the clouds." She mulls over. "I like it. It fits." She says flashing me a beautiful smile. Whoa…Carlos you can't think of her like that.

We get out the truck and I yell for Chico the maintenance man to come help with her massive amount of luggage. How long does she think she's staying here? "Oye Chico necesito ayuda para el mocoso mimado de las bolsas." I yell to him. He cocks his eyebrow at what I just said. What can I say she is a spoiled brat. "Bueno voy a estar ahí." He replies.I start to unload her bags as fast as my half vamp side will let me. I'm already twenty minutes late for work and all I need is to hear Ramon bitch for the rest of the day. "You're just going to leave me here." She says standing there watching as I take her bags from the bed of my truck. "Well yeah. I'm already late for work doing this favor for my uncle. Unlike you and your family I have to work for a living. I have two sisters that aren't fully matured yet and someone needs to put food on the table." I say frustrated by her.

"What's that suppose to mean? My grandfather has worked very hard for the past three hundred years providing for his family. I can't help that I was lucky enough to be born in a well situated family. I didn't choose it." She says snobbishly. Mi dios esta mujer me está conduciendo loco. "Look princesa I don't have time to fight with you about this. I really need to go. Just follow Chico to the front desk. A nice lady named Carmelita will be there to welcome you. Tell her who you are and my uncle should be on his way to make sure that you get taken care of." I say a head to the drives side of my truck.

"Wait." She says and I can't help but turn around. There's something about her that just draws me in. "¿Qué es? What do you want?" I say kind of exasperated. "I just wanted to say thank you. Even if you're being a jerk about it. Thanks again." She says sweetly then out of nowhere she kisses me softly on the cheek. She pulls away slowly and stares at me with her chocolate colored eyes. For a moment I swear I can feel the earth move beneath me. She's bewitched me. "No hay problema hermosa." I say and hop in my car trying to figure out what just happened. One minute I want to ring her neck then next I want to kiss her full petal pink lips. Obtener una bodega de tu hombre. She's just a spoiled princess. She'll be gone at the end of summer and you'll never see her again.

I arrive at work forty five minutes late but thankfully Ramon's not in till later. "Hey man where have you been? You're lucky I've been covering for you." My best friend Angel says. "I had to do a favor for my uncle. Nothing big. I'm here now ok." I say not wanting to think about Ren Cullen. I pick up a brush and some paint and start to help painting the Cruz's house. I hate being a house painter but the pay is decent and the hours are good. It's enough to take care of my sisters and myself. My no good father could care less what happens to us. At least Fernando is there for us.

He's not really my uncle but he found us a few years ago abandoned by my father. He helped me get on my feet and I intend to pay him back. That's why I work so hard. He's a better man than my father. Fernando is a full vamp like my dad but he has taken in three other hybrids like me that have also been abandoned. I still see my dad once in awhile but I choose not to speak to him.

I don't know much about my mother except what Fernando told me about her. Which isn't much. "Are you ok? You seem a little off today." Angel asks. "It's nothing just thinking about mi madre is all." I say. He nods his head and goes back to painting his side of the house. He doesn't know about my half vamp side. Only Fernando knows. I just told Angel that my mother died having me which is true. I killed her like the monster I am. I try to be good. I taught my sisters how to hunt animals and not humans like my father wanted. That's mostly why he abandoned us. We were abominations because we went against our true nature.

I just can't bring myself to cause anyone the pain of losing a loved one. I lost my mother and I couldn't do that to someone else. Every person that exists has a family and friends. People that care for them. Taking one life affects so many more than just that one person. That's why I couldn't be a killer or let my sister's be the same way.

The rest of the day passes quickly and I make my way to the small house I share with my sisters. It's not much but it's all mine free and clear. When I get a chance I hope to expand on it and do some improvements. This will have to do until then. I go in and see that my sister's Evangeline and Lillian are in bed for the night. I hate coming home this late but I had to make up for the time I missed. I take a quick shower and settle in for the night. Tomorrow will be interesting. I have to work at the hotel and I'll get a chance to see how the princesa is doing. I can't help but smile at the thought of her. Yes she infuriates me but she is so beautiful I can't get her out of my head.

A/N: I hope you like this. Please Review. Next up Nessie's first day on the job.
