I mean really, who did he think he was?
Leaving her, at the airport waiting, for like 15 minutes only to call her seeing he couldn't be there to pick her up!
Heather scowled and crossed her arms in the limo Alejandro had sent for her instead. It was almost comical trying to get the Spanish speaking chauffeur to understand where it was she wanted to go based solely off whatever she managed to retain while on the plane looking at a small Spanish to English dictionary and the little Alejandro taught her.
"Well," She thought stepping out the limo, leaving no tip, "Least the weather is nice." Her parents naturally paid for the 4 star resorts in Spain (and first class seat in the airport). As Heather would settle for less than 4 stars or 1st class.
Alejandro had visited her in already once Canada since leaving. But she knew he was yearning for her to see his home land. And Heather would admit she was curious too to see Spain and the city Alejandro was born Barcelona. Besides Canada was freezing and her siblings were the usual pain in her butt.
Her older sister was coming home today after flunking out of college. So it was pretty much the perfectotime for Heather to take a vaca.
Heather went around and checked out the resort. It had 2 clear large in ground pools. When she reached her suite she angrily thought, "Hmm, what it's not a queen? And the furnishings were all ugly. Oh mom and dad are so going to get it when I get home!" But it would just have to do, for now. Heather took off her sundress showing off her metallic gold swimsuit. The bikini looked great on her and she meant to impress Alejandro with it. But Heather shrugged, it was his loss. She brought sunscreen, and a towel with her that said queen with a crown sewn in above it, and gold sandals adorned her pedicured feet.
Heather thought she'd get a nice massage before soaking up the sun. And walked over to the spa. The guy there was slightly shorter than her but cute, not as stunning as Alejandro, but decent enough looking to let him touch her (if the guy had any creepy looking moles he need gloves).
The massage was nice and relaxing after her long flight halfway through suddenly she heard a shuffle and felt some movement than the massage halted.
"Hey!" Heather shouted "Tres y media, I still have like-" Suddenly the hands were on her back again. Though they felt different; strong, bigger, less hesitant. Heather let out a surprised moan from how much more pleasurable it all suddenly felt. But bolted upright when something that felt like a lot like a mouth, attached itself to her shoulder licking her smooth skin.
"Hey buddy!" She shouted at the perv rising up only to come face to face with Alejandro. He laughed at her shocked expression and Heather fought the urge to put her arms around him after their suspended absence. Angry at him for not picking her up and surprising her like that.
"How did you know I was here?" She asked scrutinizing him. Alejandro was wearing a black T-shirt that fitted him perfectly and dark demin with his signature bull necklace adorning his thick tan neck.
"Your plane just landed, I knew you'd want to go straight to the resort. And your towel and purse where right there." Heather frowned sometimes she hated how much he knew her. Looking over to where he was pointing an indeed her Coach beach bag and towel with her name inscribed lay right there.
"Why Heather, you couldn't at least get a female masseuse?" He asked trying not to sound so bitter but it shown in his tone of voice.
Heather had realized Alejandro was the jealous type before.
But really? Now he was jealous of practically the pool boy?
Heather rolled her eyes annoyed and stood up from the small mattress. She walked swiftly over to her things picking them up and walking briskly away of him to the pool area.
She was determined to ignore Alejandro and his stupid behavior. Ugh he was so clingy, and jealous, and overbearing, and caring, and loving. No Heather! You are supposed to be mad! She told herself repeatedly and kept walking ignoring him behind her.
But Alejandro quickly caught up to her anyway. He wrapped his hand around her's tightly, not letting her walk away from him that easily. It was the magnetic attraction that pulled her to him making it difficult for her to stay mad at him. It would have been so much easier if she was still in Canada and not looking into his gorgeous green eyes. Heather decided to go against her instinct giving into to the warm electric touch of his hand. But gave a haughty flip of her long hair at him and pushed her purse on him to hold. Besides she wanted all the little girls here could see he was her's and taken, a capital TAKEN!
"I'm curious Heather, how are you keeping up with school?"
"I got some nerd to do it." Heather told him. "How about you, get some clueless girl to your work?" She said a hint of bitterness in her tone.
To her surprise Alejandro shook his head, "No. I do it all myself." And he wasn't looking like he was bragging he was just explaining it to her.
The pair stopped at two vacant lounge chairs. Alejandro lean back on his and Heather sat up rubbing sunscreen on her fair skin. Alejandro looked over at her raising an eyebrow suggestively, "Need any assistance?" He asked smirking.
Heather grunted from frustration, "Ugh my back! But don't get any ideas Alejandro."
"Me? Ideas? Of course not." He walked up to her like a snake and smoothly touched her bare back. Rubbing the glob of white lotion all over in small circles and long strokes. Heather sighed in pleasure the sun was shining on her and the way Alejandro was touching her felt divine.
Alejandro stiffened did this girl realize the effect she was having to him? Between the massage oil left on her skin making smooth and aroma coming from the different lotions and oils were so damn intoxicating. Heather looked more the temptress than ever her hair dark and dangerously long, her gold bikini verging on indecent. The young man smirked and couldn't resist reaching and giving the bikini straps a snap against, he was a guy after all and he needed comical distraction right about now.
"Hey!" Heather yelled turning around. Alejandro merely laughed at her annoyed tone.
"What are you going to do about it?" An evil smirk adorning his face while retreating back and giving her hand gestures as if he was challenging her.
Heather smiled back. She walked over toward him until they were only an inch apart. "Oh I don't know," The beautiful teen said sweetly, "It is, Valentine's Day, you wanna just go back into my room?" Her small palm reached out and touched his biceps gently, Alejandro visibly gulped.
"Really?" He said hopefully only to be cut off by a push, he fell into the pool with a loud splash and Heather laughing at him.
Alejandro swiftly swam up his face was amused. He hadn't expected that. "That was a good one Heather, but you are really going to get it now."
Heather continued bragging the other people at the resort laughing at him. But they all stopped when Alejandro stepped out the pool his eyes dark and his scar gleaming threateningly on his face, the clothes clinging to his skin so it show off all his strong muscles. Heather stepped backing away from him at first slowly like she didn't want him to know how threatened he made her feel, but then gradually ran faster as he got closer.
When she reached the gate Alejandro caught up to her, wordlessly he threw her over his shoulder, and sprinted to the pool. "Alejandro! You better not!" The rest was cut off by them landing in the water.
"You! You loser!" Heather sputtered angrily and splashed him now everybody was laughing at them.
"Least you are wearing a bathing suit!" He shouted back. Splashing her harder.
That was kind of mean. "Ugh! That's it! I am so out of here!" Heather tried to storm away but it was hard, storming away when you're surrounded by water, so she lastly she tried swimming away. Alejandro, the better swimmer and caught up to her trapped her in his thick arms and kissed her on the cheek, "Mi reina, stop being so difficult. You know you're having fun." Heather didn't like to admit when Alejandro was right often, but she knew he was right this time. Fighting was practically their version of foreplay. She was enjoying it and his company; she wasn't ready for it to end just yet.
Heather twisted around in his arms, placing her own around his neck looking him in the eyes as he placed his hands down to her hips. "Go back to my room? For real this time?" She asked smiling flirtatiously.
Alejandro tossed his and Heather's clothes in the washing machine at the resort as Heather took a shower. He was wearing one of the large robe the resort had in the room when he came back he laid on the large bed half trying to a focus on the Spanish game show, the other half not to focus on the fact that Heather was alone in the steamy shower…
Finally he heard the water turn off and Heather stepped out the doorway fog escaping around her. She was wearing the other matching bath robe as his and a towel wrapped around the top of her head. "Your turn," Heather told him nonchalantly. They walked to each-other it seemed like an eternity before their lips finally reached. Heather wanted it to be only a simple kiss, but like all their kisses it got very passionate in just a few moments. He tried to loosen the robe before she swatted him away blushing and hurriedly adding she had to fetch their clothes.
"Gracias for leaving no hot water, Heather."
"You're welcome." Heather said sarcastically flipping through the programs for at least one English program, unsuccessfully.
Alejandro crawled on top of the cover to lay next to her, "Clothes dry yet?" He asked staring at her his tone soft and loving.
"Your's are right there," Heather said pointing to a desk where she put them after getting them out the washing machine and waiting way too long for them to dry. Alejandro walked to it and examined his shirt and jeans because you never know with Heather, "I didn't shrink them too small or anything, this time." Because the dryer was taking too long.
Alejandro suddenly smiled and clapped his hands together, "Mi angel, I have a very special day planned so put on something nice." Heather was still in her robe lying on the bed waiting for her hair to dry.
"Oh really," Heather said while still laying back and flicking through the TV channels, "Let me guess, it involves a tour guide phamlet of the romantic places in Spain, and perhaps a Spanish guitar while you coo Spanish love song to me?" She said dryly.
Alejandro stilled, "Um, no…" Damn.
Heather suddenly looked up from the television she smiled warmly at him, "OK. Let's just get this dumb holiday over with."
"Just put on something mucha bonita, ahh this will suffice." Alejandro held up a little black dress in his hands after digging in her suitcase without her even knowing. Heather yelled and pulled it out off his hands, "And these." He now held a black thong of her's dangling on one of his fingers with a raised eyebrow. Heather blushed bright red before shooing him out the door to get dressed.
"Hey! My clothes are in there!" Alejandro yelled and banged on the door.
The door was flung open and his clothes were thrown at him before it was shut and bolted locked. He just smirked to himself before walking down to the lounge to wait on his queen.
Alejandro drove her in the car he got on his 16th birthday last year. It was sporty black Audii RSG. "How do you feel about bull fight or flamenco dancing?" Alejandro spoke in a soft voice as he held her close their fingers interlocking as he drove his car through the small winding roads of Ciutat Vella, the heart of Barcelona.
Heather's face lit up with the idea, she adored all types of dancing and she loved dancing with Alejandro especially. "Why haven't we flamenco danced before!" She asked swatting him lightly, "We went tangoing already."
"We can flamenco later tonight." He promised taking her small hand and kissing it making Heather.
Alejandro walked into the famous restaurant/cafe in Barcelona, Els Quatre Gats, with Heather on his arm like he owned the place.
The always knowledgeable Alejandro informed her about the place, "Picasso used to come here." He whispered in his ear, "If you need to do any shopping Portal d' Angel a shopping avenue is right outside of here."
Heather felt like she was walking back through time. The old chandeliers lit up the antique paintings that covered on the walls and other bright tiles covered the bar area. The atmosphere was very modern like an old tavern.
Heather wasn't that hungry so Alejandro ordered a favorite coffee and dessert. Their conversation consisting of clever flirting and Alejandro trying to teach Heather Espanola. The dessert was topped with whipped crème and chocolate sauce covering the bowl that they shared together.
"Estoy muy contento."
"... I am... very happy? Heather tried translating his Spanish. Alejandro nodded like he was truly proud of her. Heather's heart swelled she rarely made her parents or friends proud of her, just scared and did whatever she said and that worked. But making someone happy, besides herself, just made her feel surprisingly satisfied. He took her hand affectionately leaning forward, "I'm happy to have you here where I was born."
"Me too." Heather told him getting lost in his emerald gaze.
"You could just stay here and we could get married." He said, his voice hopeful.
Heather looked away and said nothing to be honest she still wanted independence. Finishing high school by herself, growing to college, taking over the world.
Heather took the last bite of the dessert. "This was nice," Heather told him after, "But next time I want to go flamencoing." She told bossily trying to cover up how didn't understand still how Alejandro could give up the money and the power of winning for love like he had. She knew most women would give a lot for a man like that, commited and romantic, but feeling slight stifled after all this time own her own doing whatever she wanted to do.
"I knew your waiting for you Valentines gift and I knew it have to be expensive for me reina," Heather blushed he really did know her well. She been patiently waiting the whole night fore some kind of flowers, chocolates or the other, and now she was now then ready to get her gifts.
Alejandro reached in his pocket and pulled out a small black box.
Oh no, it couldn't be that.
He opened up the small box and there appeared a sparkling diamond ring.
Her heart managed to swell and drop at the same time. The ring was beautiful. She could tell it was the large diamond in the center was at least two karats and smaller stones surrounded the left and right bands.
"This is my promise ring to you Heather. I'll love you all my days."
Suddenly she felt so much relief, it was just a promise ring, of course it was he hadn't dropped on his knee or anything. Her heart calmed down and Heather breathed a sigh of relief as Alejandro placed it on her finger.
"I got you something too." Heather giving him a coy smile. She thanked God, he hadn't found it through all of her clothes in her suit case. Before she left the resort with him she made sure to tuck it in her bag.
"I named it Darth Al." Alejandro looked at the bear it had a black outfit and a red light saber in his hand. It was embarrassing. It was infuriating. It was hilarious. Alejandro burst into laughter.
"I wasn't sure if you'd hate it or not." Heather said relaxing. "I made it at Build a Bear workshop."
"Bueno Heather. This makes it easier to laugh about the whole event." He said holding an examining the bear.
"That's not all, if you squeeze it, it says something." Alejandro looked down at the bear and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Lo siento Alejandro," Heather's recorded voice was saying sorry to him in Spanish, he knew immediately what she meant about, and that she was doing it in Spanish made it all the more special.
"Te perdono." Alejandro said back, I forgive you. He reached over the table kissing her, Darth Al in between them. "Te quiero." The bear said.
"Te quiero mucho." Alejandro murmured back against her lips.
At the end of the night, jet lag finally caught up to Heather, she laid her head on his shoulder and wrapping her arms around his waist. Alejandro dexcided they could go dancing later and held her back wrapped up in the sensation of how right it felt. Alejandro was tempted to drive her to his house but didn't want to wake up to a screaming Heather not knowing where she was so he drove her back to the resort and carrying a sleeping Heather in his arms, he whispered Spanish words of amor in her ear hoping she would dream of him on the way to the door.
"Te amo." He said kissing her cheek deciding to take off his shoes and lie next to her and explain it to his parents in the morning why he didn't come home. If they were still at the house and not busy that is. Alejandro wrapped his arms and her wishing this moment would last forever.
But all good things must come to an end, right?
