Miami, Florida
JR and Ingrid's house
They were able to get him bail but he still had to go before a judge he was livid that she didn't cover for him as he sat on the sofa "do you wanna tell us why you attacked that soccer player"JR asked, "I told you already I saw him feeling up on Rubia. And I reacted to that" he said lying, " and your aunt was okay with that" his mother questioned.
Shrugging his shoulders "she didn't want the drama at her hotel so Rubia covered for him to keep that stupid job" Starlin says, "maldita puta" his father spat going to grab his keys. When his mother came in " I came as soon as I heard mijo ,Starlin are you okay what happened" Carmen said. As she looked him over"Abuela I'm okay" he said, "Y tu que paso mijo" She said to her son who was getting ready to leave.
" JR please don't go just call her and talk to her " Ingrid says, "TALK ! INGRID SHE WAS OKAY WITH ASSAULTING MY DAUGHTER. SO IT WOULDN'T INCONVENIENCE HER FUCKING HOTEL" JR roared in anger catching his mother off guard "¿Qué le pasó a Rubia?" The older woman asked. "Tell your grandmother what happened to your sister" I was going to talk to her and I see this guy oh this fucking guy he was all over her.
And she just looked uncomfortable so I approached him. We had an altercation. Rubia rushed inside. We continued to fight, then he called the cops on me when they showed up. I tell them what happened, he lied and they believed him then Titi came and I told her she says I'm lying. Then she has Rubia sent back outside.
Now I'm trying to make it okay for her because I know she was scared but Titi stands in front of me and gets her to lie. To the cops because he's some soccer player" he says still lying "what soccer who is this man all over my Rubia I told you she was better off at Flemings" Carmen says. "I think the guy's name is João, something I don't remember " Starlin says, going to look him up on his phone then showing his grandmother"Oh oh no, no where's Rubia, she's going to press charges. Call your sister right now JR and you too Starlin" Carmen says glaring down at the picture so was JR " I'm not calling anybody mami im going there right now and I'm pressing charges against this guy and Lissel" JR spat coldly.
Getting ready to leave when then ran right into Rubia who was rushing in stopping "What wrong is papa okay" she asked looking around. " No but now that you are here you can come with us to the police station and tell the truth about what happened with this guy. You had your own brother arrested for defending you.
And you lie for your aunt after what she made, okay no you are not going to work for her and then you are going back to Flemings and getting your job back over there." father said. Confused, "What, what are you talking about?" she asked then looking at her brother"don't play stupid with me Rubia Carmen Rivera.
I know your aunt had you lie on your brother so she won't have drama at her hotel. I know that this motherfucker was touching. And your aunt made it okay for him to get away with that shit but he's not oyete" JR says. Shaking her head " Really Starlin so you're still lying" Rubia said before turning and slapping him across the face.
Before unloading on him "Are you fucking crazy you can ruin his life with this bullshit no, déjame ir" she shouted. As her father picked her up to break it up as she struggled to get out of her father's arms with "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH. TO YOUR BROTHER WHO HAS TO GO BEFORE THE JUDGE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS" her father says.
When she pulled away from "THAT IS HIS OWN FAULT BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING MORON. João didn't do anything to me because he and I are dating there. I said it the truth is out. We've been dating for months now and Titi didn't lie, nobody is lying but him he saw João and I making out. Before I went into work" she says, as her grandmother shook her head.
"No, No you're gonna call Logan and get you guys back on track I am not doing this again JR" Carmen says. Rubia looked at her "No i'm not Abuela GOSH HE WAS ANNOYING and arrogant he loved hearing himself talk. Like the rest of his Idiot friends, yes that means you to Starlin you are the epitome of an Idiot.
I am tired alright, tired when is the last time the man child here has a job but catered to go to school. I go to work and I'm the one you come down" Rubia says, "you show your grandmother some respect" JR said. "WHERE'S MY RESPECT PAPI I have done everything that you have ever asked of me I've done. Never complaining, you don't like it, you take my car, cut off my credit card, your brother can drop you off" she says fed up.
"I don't know who that boy is but he's not good enough for you and gave you time hoping you would. See things clearly and get back with Logan but I guess I just gave you more time to talk yourself out of things" he said. As she chuckles "see things clearly really trust me I see everything clearly and you wanna know what I think Papi its bullshit.
My entire life I've had to live someone else's dream fucking ballet I hated ballet just as much as I hated cheerleading. And the princess bullshit oh my gosh and you want to know what I hate the most is your hatred for anyone of color. I don't see color, I see people who are may look different from me but we have the same likes.
Titi was right she said I need to stand for myself and stop hiding and she was right I don't want to be with Logan. And I'm not gonna be. I will continue to see João because it is my choice and It's my life" she says. "YOU WILL NOT SEE THAT BOY OYETE Estas loca haces esto para fastidiarme porque quiero lo mejor para ti Lissel '' Carmen spat. Making Rubia laugh "I'm not Titi Abuela I'm Rubia '' she says when her grandmother slapped her across the face. Taking them all by surprise as she pulled back and covered her mouth "Rubia my vida I'm so sorry I didn't mean to ay, dios mio I'm sorry" the woman said.
As Rubia glared at her "You're sorry really but you're not your mad because I don't have your hatred. And I get it now this is what Reya must have felt like I can see it in your eyes your mind is wondering. Right it's true you don't have to waste time wondering did multiple times and I enjoyed every minute of it.
I am done living someone else's life. I'm gonna live for myself and do what makes me happy. I'll come back for my things another time" she said. About to leave when her father stopped her while her grandmother stood with tears streaming down her face. With her pulling away from him " I don't care that he's a moreno but you hurt your family for him you think he cares about you.
He wouldn't have called the cops on your brother. He is using you because you're young, pretty and vulnerable. Look at your grandmother you do that to her somebody who has always loved you"JR said as the tears started to flow down her face. Shaking her head as she wiped the tears away" you didn't even stand up for me you stood there and said nothing. My own father but you want me to concern myself for her feelings Abuela I do love you.
But you are mean and cruel with a really fucked up heart Papi you don't have to worry about not paying for school. The Hotel will be paying for it so you don't have to worry about taking that from me as well and I don't need the car back João and Reign said. They will cover it but I will pay it off. They both said no but i'm gonna do it anyway so there buenos noches" she says leaving.
"No Ruby baby listen we will figure this out okay I don't know what is going on with you lately but we can fix this right JR. I can't lose too J.C we don't see him or our grandchild JR please" Ingrid said finally speaking, "What you want me to do huh let her do what she wants" he replied. Only making Rubia laugh "right no mom this is about her using me to have a do over for Titi Lissel following her own heart" Rubia said.
"NO YOU DO THIS TO SPITE ME JUST LIKE LISSEL DID" Carmen says with Rubia shaking her head. "No todo se trata de ti, abuela, se trata de nosotros, lo que queremos, no de ti ( Everything isn't about you grandma it's about us what we want not you ") she says. "WATCH HOW YOU TALK TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER you want to destroy your family just like she did. For someone who is controlling" JR says, with his daughter laughing "This bullshit right here is controlling. And emotional manipulation you've done it so long Papi you don't even see your doing it.
I'm not trying to destroy my family, I'm trying to live my life making myself happy. I can't and will not live MY LIFE TO MAKE ABUELA HAPPY. Whatever I'm going I come for my stuff another time you know papi all Titi ever wanted was for you to see. That our experience with abuela wasn't her kids experience but it affected all of us and Huedy is thee. Only one who is unscathed by her " she said leaving as his wife looked at him in disbelief. "JR you better stop this right now. I am tired of this divided all of this. I married you because I love you. This is why I wanted to live in England when we had the chance.
Miss Carmen I love you but this is my family my children now I have sat idly` by obvious to what was really going on. Because she kept telling us otherwise but I can't and I won't lose any more time with my children and grandchild" Ingrid said, going after her daughter.
"Baby cono" JR says trying to go after his wife, "mira don't let that girl manipulate you. This is Reya and your sisters doing tu me oye" Carmen says, as she grabs her son's arm. As he pulled away he went after his wife only to find her standing there in the driveway in tears. With his mother watching from the door of the house "I'm gonna fix it okay" he said trying to comfort his wife.
"I wasn't there when my eldest son got married because he thought we wouldn't approve of his wife. We weren't there when our grandchild was born. None of it we were apart of because of your mother saying it was a faze that he wasn't serious. Well it wasn't faze JR he is still happily married to a beautiful woman who loves him he left home at 18 and never looked back.
And he has stayed far away from us JR that doesn't make you feel away your mother was wrong so what now" she says. "I'm gonna fix it, I will talk to Rubia and J.C okay" JR says all the while Carmen shook her head.
Reign and Sharod's penthouse
Knocking on the door when Sharod opened it "Hey Sharod is Reign here" Rubia asked, "you okay yeah she's inside Babe your cousin and her boyfriend is here" he said with a grin. Only making her face turn red with embarrassment as they entered the apartment.
"Oye muchacha you don't have to ring the bell I gave you keys" Reign said coming into the living room. Stopping when she saw her cousin's face looking at both of the guys then her cousin "tato entonces Rubia come keep him company" she says.
Nodding for her cousin to follow her and she did as Sharod looked at João and sat down on the sofa "you want a drink" he said. "No thank you, I'm driving and I have to take care of my girl. She needs me," he replied. "Dude, have a drink it will take the edge off hold on" Sharod said as he got up and poured 4 glasses.
Then taking two to Reign and Rubia then coming back and giving João his drink then sitting down. As he put on Espn as João looked at the up before taking it down meanwhile "okay so what happened now. I know something happened with your parents so dime" Reign said sitting down on the bed in the guest room.
"I had it out with my family and this time I think this time there is no going back" Rubia said still in shock. Reign sighs "When are you gonna learn chula that your father is always gonna be about his mother whether she's right or wrong Rubia. Mami he is not stupid or obvious mama he knows exactly what is going on alright but doesn't affect until it affects him oyete.
It didn't affect him or his kid or so he thought tu sabe but it did nena because you were affected. That's clear why do you think your brothers are the way they are. Because your grandmother made it that way that they can hit or mistreat people and they will get away with it because that's what happened to my sister all the time. She allowed them to hit Reya with no repercussions. The only person wasn't like that was JC who adored Reya. He got her into books and he was the one to bathe her.
When your grandmother refused too he's the one who told my parents what was going on my mother thought Carmen had a change of heart. But she didn't and that broke my mother into a million pieces and that is where you are right now" Reign said as Rubia sighs. "You know she called me Titi tonight like I kind of knew it but it wasn't until tonight that I realized why she pushed so hard for me and Logan. She was using me as a do over and all the while my father stood there and said nothing he didn't step in and defend me nothing.
Then the best is they try to turn it around on me like I'm destroying my family. Because I wasn't doing like I was told, now I get how Titi must have felt. You know you find this amazing guy that you fall so quickly for. And you think that love is all that matters. It would matter to the people that supposedly love you but it doesn't because it's not what they want. Oh and Starlin stirred the pot as always Thank goodness Reya isn't here because I'm sure it will be her fault.
How is she I text her earlier? She never got back to me" she says. Don't take it personally she had a day so if I know my sister like I know her she is pounding the bag right now ignoring everyone. Look prima you can stay here as long as you need to ,me and Sha already talked about it " Reign said, when Rubia smiled" thank you but it's not necessary because João asked me to move in with him tonight" she said not being able to hold her smile. "Well that is big you guys have only been fucking for the last six months and he's been dicking you down from Sunday to Sunday " she says laughing. As her cousin covered her face"now you guys do have to fuck in the back seat this is good I'm happy for you that man is in love with you so just be happy mama" Reign said.
Biting her lip nervously "I know told me that tonight I mean my Portuguese is a little rusty but he said it '' Rubia says, "and how do you feel about that " her cousin asked. With a smile Reign I've never felt like this ever I've only ever been with Logan you know but João he's just different you know. He's smart ,he's sweet and he's caring he offered to get me a car so I wouldn't have to struggle oh look Carmen is calling this is the 15th time she's called. She calling because she knew she fucked up when she slapped me" Rubia says making Reign's head snap "oh your a better bitch then I am because I woulda slap her ass right back.
And of course she's gonna use you Rubia because your dad allows it ,your Lissel 2.0 and this she will not go for so they are gonna do whatever possible to get you to act accordingly and don't fall for it. That was my mother's Achilles' heel thinking that Carmen would love her Carmel colored child" Reign says when her phone rings. "Dime Rey Rey Rubia is here so be nice I hope you didn't fuck Morgan again" her sister says putting her on speaker, "shush I didn't but if I was I wouldn't be going through this bullshit right now.
Let me tell you this motherfucker sees that you're married to Sharod and dique I'm gonna put a guard on you because of the situation with the La Rocco's and dickheads family. I tell this man no I don't need it I don't want it now he involves both Morgan and Dante to get me to see things his way and then gets upset and don't get me started with Morgan's petty ass. He's just over here stroking the fire so won't be fucking nobody else and I'm sure that makes him very happy" Reya said.
"Wait I'm lost, who's Morgan? I thought the guy's name was Michael " Rubia asked confused, "Morgan is to Reya what your footballer is to you but they can't ever seem to get through their issues. Anyway she just found out that the new guy is the old guy's brother" Reign says with Rubia making an oh shit face" I think you should be with the one who's better. What she said it that the new guy was like fucking Lassey" Rubia says with Reign looked at her shaking her head, "oh gosh we're rubbing off on her too much lasting I need is Carmen in my face" Reya says. Making Reign laugh "Manita listen just this is your first disagreement, talk to him Rey and have incredible make up sex.
And not for nothing Rey you had to know that Morgan was gonna be petty you better tell that man the truth before Morgan does" her sister says. As Reya groans "hold on I'll call you back that's him right now oh and being that I'm out of town Rubia you will be working out with Reign have fun" Reya says hanging up with Reign smiling. With Rubia looking at her strangely "why are you looking at me like that" she questioned, "because if you think Reya is bad you're in for it with me" she replies laughing.
Port Charles
Reya's penthouse
Hearing someone open the door as she was on the phone with her sister and her cousin who wasn't half as annoying as she thought " what brings you by" Reya says, crossing her arms stopping in front of him as she stood there in booty shorts and a sports bra. All he could do was stare making his shift in his jeans, clearing his throat " umm I think we should talk. I don't like the way we left things this afternoon" he said, " you mean by not respecting my wishes because I wouldn't follow what you wanted" she replied.
" Reya I wasn't trying to disrespect you in any way alright It's the opposite I was trying to look out for you Reya I know what this lifestyle is. I've been caught in the middle too many times to count and I just don't want that for you alright because I don't want to see you get hurt because of it. Tell me you understand that I'm just looking out for you" Michael says. Putting his hands on her waist then pulling her closer to him when she put her hands on his chest " I understand that and I appreciate that I do but respect my wishes because I'm not trying to be difficult I just believe it's not necessary I'm your dad's complexion Michael.
Flaca is not, she is light skinned, we don't look alike and I'm not going to be going around telling my business to anyone so it's fine" Reya says. He sighs still not age but he did what he had to protect her he would rather her be later then for her to get hurt"alright but if anything happens I reserve the right to protect you" he said going to kiss her. As he brought her flushed to him with his hands on her behind rubbing it "will see" she whispered against his lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Hoping and praying that he would just grab it already she wasn't in the mood to lead when his phone rang "Hey Willow what's up is he okay alright I'm on my way now" Michael said as Reya looked at him.
" Is everything okay" she questioned, "umm no that was Willow they took Wiley he has a fever I have to go would you come with me" he asked. "Umm yeah sure if it's okay with his mom just let me get changed" she says when her phone rings looking at the number she knew exactly who it was"what's that about" Michael asked as she picked up her phone. " umm shit it's work hello what can I do for you this evening I told you that I am revising it. Wait, you added something else, give me a second change of plans you go ahead. And text me and let me know what's going on with him" Reya said, kissing Michael on the cheek as he pulled her in kissing her"I'll be back. And we'll christening this place" Michael says with a grin ,"umm hmm definitely later" she says watching him leave as the person on the over end laughs as Reya shook her head.
Several days later
La Reya's
It had been a few days since she saw him with his son being sick and her finding something to bind her time. When she came across this night club that she brought out she could open up La Reya's in Port Charles. As she looked around with a smile "Umm seems like you don't waste no time huh Rey" Morgan said with a smile. "What are you doing here Morgan" she asked, "I mean would you prefer I come to your house because I'm sure that will go over. Really well with Mikey don't you think" he said, "I emailed you Morgan an email would suffice there is no reason. For us to see each other in person making all of this alot more awkward then it already is especially with our history" she says.
"You mean like us being each others first and that we were still fucking up until a month or so ago when you said your were dating someone. And that would couldn't do this anymore but I'm not gonna help you fuck him Rey Hell no not you. So I will make this as uncomfortable as it needs to be because I don't like it, " he says standing in front of her. Looking her straight in the eyes "Morgan we tried us numerous times we never got it right" she says stepping away.
"Yeah I know your issues, my issues but your dating one of my issues" Morgan said, "I didn't know he was your brother Morgan" she answered. Walking to the bar to put some distance between them "I know but you're still with him Rey and I can't stand it. Tell me something did you not love me" he says, making her look at him "You know I did and you know I do Morgan. I will always love you but we've… was all she got out when he kissed her pulling her into his arms as he palmed her behind. Making her moan into their kiss before she pulled back "Morgan don't put me in that situation" Reya said. "DO YOU NOT LOVE ME EVEN NOW THAT YOUR WITH HIM" Morgan said, " ALREADY SAID YES MORGAN. BUT WE CAN NEVER SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY" she says not knowing that they were being watched.
"IT SAYS THAT WE NEED TO LET GO OF OUR SHITTY PAST REY" he says more firmly as he pulled her to him then kissing her harder this time. As he slapped her ass "Morgan we can't do this it's wrong I will email you but you have to go" she says trying to shake off the feeling he gave her. As he took a deep breath " you know this isn't gonna work Rey you and I know it we get each other we're a better fit but i know you have to see it and I know I've given you plenty reasons not to but you will. But you don't love him and he will never be able to handle you Rey" Morgan said leaving. With her taking a deep breath as she held onto the bar "I don't know who you are but you better come out. Before I have to beat your ass and don't have me have to come and get you either" she said.
When he took off with her going after him when she ran into someone else "give me your wallet and your phone now" the guy said with the gun pointed at her. As she stopped and looked at him "I'm not giving you shit and I suggest you point that gun elsewhere"Reya she says looking him straight in the face. Before she head butt him in the face making him drop the gun then punching him in the face then stomping him out then picking up his gun. "You couldn't just go on could you stupid motherfucker. Tio I need your help some chump just tried to rob me yes I need you to come clean him up please" she says hanging up the phone. When she sees him out the corner of her eye moving when she moves quickly choking him out. Not knowing that someone was watching her he was even more curious about her as he went to meet with Sonny.
