Rey growled at the doorbell being rung. He wanted to know who was waking him up so early on a Sunday. He was hoping that if he didn't get up to check the door, then that person would just go away but they weren't taking the hint.
Rey sat up in the bed. "Who ever is at this door is getting slapped." Rey got out of bed and went to the speaker. Rey pressed the button and yelled through the speaker.
"Who is it?"
"It's Melina. Let me in now!" Melina yelled back.
Rey pressed the open button the elevator doors opened revealing Rey's best friend.
"What's up Mel? Why are you over my house so early?"
Melina ran over to Rey. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Rey gave Melina a confused look. "Tell you what?"
"That Reina was dating Alberto Del Rio."
"Because I didn't wan- Wait how did you know Reina was dating Alberto?" Rey said, sticking his finger in Melina's face.
"You mean you haven't seen?"
"Seen what?" Rey yelled.
Melina grabbed Rey's hand and led him to his TV room. She grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to the celebrity entertainment channel.
The most handsome Bachelor in Mexico may not be much of a Bachelor for long. El Rey of Corporation was spotted with and unidentified female on Saturday and supposedly the couple were together all day. Now, Here is a picture of the couple together walking out of a restaurant. Alberto Del Rio has neither confirmed nor denied any of this claim. So, as of now, we are inclined to believe anything.
Rey's heart sank and guts churned as the lady read the report off the teleprompter and Rey wanted to throw up when the picture flashed across the screen.
"Reina is a celebrity." Melina says and turns off the TV.
"This is not good." Rey says. "No this is the worst possible thing that could have happened."
"Why?" Melina asks.
"What if people start looking into Reina's past and find out that, oh, she doesn't have one and then they will end up finding out that Reina doesn't even exist and that she is just my alter ego. A FEMALE alter ego for a MALE. It won't matter what happens to me because I can just move to another country but this will completely ruin Alberto." Rey falls back on the couch. "What am I going to do?"
"This is easy. We'll make up a past for Reina, forge a birth certificate, and a social security number and all of the other shit that makes you a real person. We'll even make up a heart felt story about how you grew up and shit. This isn't hard. People lie all of the time. Our lie will just be a little more extreme then most."
"How are we going to forge a birth certificate and a SSN?" Rey asks and gives Melina a blank look.
"We work at the government office. We have access to all of the software that makes the birth certificates and SSN. All we have to do is go to work on Monday and feel in the blanks. In the mean time, you start thinking of a back story so when we get to work its smooth sailing."
Rey laid back on the couch. "Do you know how long we could go to jail for this if someone found out?"
"A very long ass time."
"Well I guess Ignacio could pardon us since you two are dating."
"I broke up with Ignacio."
"What? Why?" Rey asked and sat up on the couch.
"It's what I told you about the other day, empty promises. I explained it to him and he said to give him a few weeks. Whatever that is supposed to mean."
"You ok?"
"Yeah. I'm making it." Melina decided to change the subject. "Do you think Alberto knows?"
"He hasn't called me yet, so no."
"Shit!" Alberto yelled. "How- How did they find out so fast?" Alberto asked his friend
"Man I don't know. I think the media are like ninjas or some shit." Ignacio replied. Ignacio and Alberto were best friends. Ignacio was the only person that knew about Alberto being homosexual. "But man he really looks like a girl. I don't think you'll have any problems." Ignacio told him and sat on the couch.
"Any problems, are you serious? I'm going to have hella problems. Reina is not real. She doesn't have a past or a back story. If I confirm this relationship, people are going to want to know everything about her and how we got together. You know people will start snooping around and find out that Reina doesn't exists and that Reina is male." Alberto starts pacing up and down is luxurious living room.
"Look man I can make Reina a real person or exist as you put it."
"What the hell are you talking about Ignacio?" Alberto asks while pacing.
"I can make Reina a birth certificate and a social security number. All you have to do is get together with Reina and decide in shit so I can feel in the blanks Monday morning."
Alberto stopped pacing and looked at Ignacio. "Can't you go to jail for that."
"I can't but the person I blame it on if we get caught will."
Alberto sat down next to Ignacio. "Ok lets do that." Alberto exhaled. It felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. "So how was your date last night?" Alberto asked, trying to change the subject.
"She broke up with me."
"What? Why?"
"I kept telling her I was going to marry her but I never did because I didn't have the grounds for a divorce with my wife. She told me when I got divorce to call her but she couldn't waste her life on empty promises."
"She's right you know."
"I know but she didn't give me time to explain."
"Explain what?"
"I have grounds for a divorce now."
"Really?"
"Yep I hired a PI and they have pictures of my wife with another man. I'm filling on Monday along with forging a SSN and a birth certificate."
Alberto chuckled. "Do you think she is the one?"
"Melly. Hell yeah. She completes me." Ignacio said and put his hands together.
"Do you think Reina knows?"
"She hasn't called you, so no. Invite her to your house and plan out Reina's life." Ignacio said and got up. "Let me know what you come up with. See ya."
"Bye." Alberto grabbed his cell and dialed Reina's phone.
"Let me know what you come up with. See ya." Melina said and walked into the elevator.
Rey walked back into the room and grabbed his cellphone. He needed to call Alberto. Before Rey could call Alberto, Alberto was calling him.
"Bueno."
"Hey. Have you-turned on your TV today."
"Yes, I've seen us on TV today."
"I'm going to confirm the reports but first we have to make up a story. Can you come over my house?"
"Rey or Reina?"
"Rey. No reporters can come into my grounds." Alberto gave Rey the address to his home. "See you in a few."
Rey got dressed and headed out the door.
"Wow." Rey said as he pulled up at the large black gates. The gates opened and Rey drove in. Rey drove past the fountain and the large yard up to the house. The house was placed in the back so the photographers, no matter how good the lens, couldn't take pictures of Alberto or anyone else. Rey parked and jumped out of his car.
Rey walked up to the door and knocked. Rey waited a few seconds before Alberto opened the door.
Alberto looked Rey up and down. "Reina is pretty but Rey is sexy."
Rey giggled and pushed Alberto out of the way and entered the house.
Alberto looked outside at Rey's car. It was a 2011 Audi R8. "That's yours?"
"Yep and it's paid for."
Alberto closed the door and turned towards Rey.
"Where is the security?"
"I am my security." Alberto said. "I have weapons only the military should have." Alberto started walking to his office and Rey followed. Alberto opened the office door and Rey walked in. Alberto followed. The couple sat in the black couch in the office.
"So I figured people will start looking into Reina's past."
"Yeah me too." Rey said.
"I have a friend that can forge a SSN and a birth certificate."
"Me too."
"Really?"
"Yes I know people too."
"Why don't we put our people together to do this?" Alberto suggested.
"Ok text your people and I'll text mind."
To: IG
From:AL
Hey Reina has someone that can forge the stuff to. The 2 of u should work 2gether to get it done.
Alberto pressed send. "Ok now we wai-." Alberto's phone went off'
From: IG
To: AL
Ok tell that person to meet me in the back parking lot where the heads of gov park cuz there are no cams. Meet me there at 6:00a.m. so we can get everything done before people come to work. Tell them I'll pay them nicely for there work and silence."
Alberto read the message. "Tell you people to meet my people at the back parking lot at 6:00a.m of the Government. My people will pay your people for there services and silence.
To: Mel
From: Rey
Meet the guy at 6:00a.m. in the back parking lot at the government building. He said he will pay you too.
From: Mel
To: Rey
OK no problem. Tell him everything is ok.
"Ok everything is set up." Rey says.
"Good. Now we just have to make up the story."
"Well I already have everything for the birth certificate." Rey starts. "You should write all of this down." Alberto grabs a pen and a piece of paper. " Reina's full name is Reina Catalina Castro Mysterio, no relation to Fidel Castro. She was born on November 2nd 1985."
"Wait so you're only 25."
"Yeah I thought I told you that."
"No."
"Oh well I'm 25 but my real birthday is December 12th." Rey states. "Anyway Reina was born in Mexico City to Ramona Ada Castro Flores and Alexandro Luis Mysterio Rodriguez in Mexico City hospital at 3:47a.m. Ramona is from Merida and Alexandro is from Mexico City."
"What happens when people want to meet your parents?" Alberto asks.
"I'm getting to that." Rey states. "When Reina was 18, Her parents died in an accident, leaving her vast amounts of money. That's why she doesn't work. Her father was a major hustler if you get what I'm saying."
"I understand." Alberto says and writes it down.
"I think that's it for Reina and her story. The rest I can make up as I go."
"Now for our story." Alberto says. "We met at an investors luncheon in Guadalajara. You told me your story about your parents leaving all the money to you and how you wanted to invest it. We talked about it and you decided to invest in the company and I decided to invest in you and we have been dating since March."
"Ok. That was a pretty good story." Rey says.
"You learn to think on the spot when you run an operation as large as mind."
"I'm going to send all of this to my people and they will be responsible for the rest."
"Yeah I hope this works." Alberto says.
"Yeah. Why go through this much trouble for me?" Rey asks.
"Because I really like you. I can see myself loving you and being with you for a long time." Alberto gave Rey a passionate kiss on the lips. "Do you understand now?"
"Yes." Rey said breathlessly. "I have to go before I give in."
