Little Havana Nights

The Latin Kids From Miami Beach

The songs from both bands made their respective debut albums. In 1996, No Mercy had a hit all over the world with the song "Where Do You Go?" - the song originally by La Bouche that Ariel and Cassandra danced to on their honeymoon in Mexico.

The music video was filmed in Miami, with shots of the beach, with both Ariel and Gabriel's wives appearing in the video. There was always a different female model for Marty, as there was a male model for Linda in Latina's music videos (Ariel and Gabriel would appear with their wives in Latina's music videos too). Neither of them had a significant other at this time. Sure, everyone wanted to sleep with them, but that's not all they wanted - they wanted love too.

Marty wasn't feeling lonely all the time, but there were times he wished had somebody, like the twins did. The occasional one-night stands he had were only a temporary fix, so he found another coping mechanism in addition to that one, singing certain songs.

Meanwhile, even though Linda ultimately wanted love, she still liked playing hard to get, because she enjoyed the chase. She enjoyed how men could desire her because of her looks and fame, but they could never have her. That's the one thing Cassandra and Danielle didn't like about their friend. Of course, men fancied them as well, but they knew they didn't stand a chance as they were already married - and to men that were way more good-looking than they were, at least in Cassandra and Danielle's mind.

Meanwhile, Latina also had a hit song with "Ooh Aah... Just A Little Bit". The video was also filmed in Miami, but soon, everyone was on their way to Europe to promote their albums.

They were put up at the Ritz Carlton in Berlin Germany by the recording company, and got settled in their suites.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Said Danielle, when she saw her and Gabriel's suite.

"Oh check it out, we even have our own dining area!" Said Gabriel.

"I love this view! It's so beautiful here." Said Cassandra as she and Ariel explored their own suite.

"I still can't believe this!" Said Ariel. "Both our bands are reaching the top, we get to explore the world and stay in beautiful hotels like this."

The couple embraced each other, ecstatically admiring their opulent surroundings.

"It's like a dream." She said.

"One that came very true." He said. "I love you, baby."

"I love you too." Said Cassandra. The couple then kissed, and made their way to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, Gabriel and Danielle were having a romantic night of their own, toasting to their success with a complementary wine and cheese board, courtesy of the hotel.

Gabriel caressed Danielle's face, making her smile. She knew what he was wanting to do...

Danielle was in their room, and she took her top off, putting some lotion on her body. Gabriel, shirtless, came towards her, embracing her from behind, smelling her.

"Oh Jasmine, beautiful!" He said.

She turned around to embrace her husband and kiss him passionately. They removed the rest of each other's clothes and made love.

Gabriel kissed and caressed Danielle's face as he pleasured her. She moaned, tilting her head back in abandon as she got the erotic tingles before she reached orgasm, with him following.

After he rolled off of her and lay next to her, Danielle lay her head on her husband's chest with her arm across his body as he caressed it, and kissed her forehead. They looked out the window from their bed, at the Berlin city lights.

"My, how far we've come, cariña." Said Gabriel. "For a while I never thought I'd ever go to Europe. And here we are."

"We've made it." Agreed Danielle. They had indeed made it.

And it all came about because of Ariel's idea for them to sing a catchy song he and his wife heard on their honeymoon.

A few days later, the Latin lookers flew to London, and each band was interviewed separately. The girls were interviewed by the BBC program "Blue Peter" which had an array of celebrity guests over the years, including ABBA, in 1978, so Cassandra and Danielle were particularly excited about it. Fans found it fascinating that the two beautiful cousins were in fact married to the No Mercy twins, both of them becoming of supercouples in the Latin world.

The guys, meanwhile, were interviewed in a Cuban restaurant, where Marty tried to dodge a question asked by the woman as to whether or not his singing and playing guitar got the girls, by simply explaining why the Latin guitar sound was so popular.

"But does it get the girls, Marty?" Asked the lady in her cockney accent.

"Answer the question!" Joked Gabriel.

After the interviews, the guys went to watch the game, while the girls went to the Queen's gallery. Both cousins were always interested in European Royals, and that's another reason they were so close - they had so much in common! They looked at all the gorgeous paintings of the royals who ruled England at one time or another.

"To think all these kings & queens are related to the current queen!" They thought. They tried to imagine what it was like being able to know who all your ancestors were, and from so long ago. It was fascinating!

As they were exiting the museum, Cassandra heard her name being called.

"Cassandra!" It was a little girl of about 5 or 6 years old, who was a big fan of Latina. Cassandra was her favorite member, so she ran up to her and have her a hug, and Cassandra hug her back as she giggled at how adorable this little angel was.

"We're so sorry!" Said her parents when they finally caught up with her. "She just really loves your music."

"Not a problem, I don't mind." She said. "I've seen worse. And what's your name, little angel?"

"Diana." She said, smiling from ear to ear, being starstruck.

"Like Princess Diana!" Said Cassandra. The little girl nodded eagerly, smiling. She admired Princess Diana too.

The girls were only too happy to give little Diana an autograph and pose for a photo with her, after which they left to go for dinner at their hotel, before more fans noticed them.

"You'll make a wonderful mama, Cassandra." Said Linda as the girls were being driven back to The Savoy Hotel, which was where they were staying. Not only were the rooms pleasing to the eye, but the view of the River Thames was extraordinary too.
