My head felt like it was being smashed between two cement blocks. I groggily opened my eyes, blinking a few times before my vision cleared, revealing a familiar room.

Oh fuck I thought as I stared down at the familiar blanket that belonged to Diana Fernandez. My ex-girlfriend.

Any hope I had that I didn't sleep with her diminished when she came sneaking back into the room. Her tall curvy frame was on full display, in her tank top and short shorts. The curly brown hair my fingers had combed through many times before, maybe even last night, was tied up in a ponytail. Luck did not seem to be on my side today.

"Good morning baby." She whispered huskily climbing onto the bed and crawling over to me. God, she knew exactly what she was doing, she knew what to do to turn me on, and from the looks of it she had been doing everything right. Her vanilla scent had taken over my mind, and the way her smooth skin felt under my hands made me silence all the warnings going off in my head.

She was trailing kisses up my naked chest when I finally came back to my senses.

"Diana, stop." I sat up pushing her away a bit. Her dark eyes raged as pouty lips drew my eyes down, remembering the way they felt pressed against mine.

God I have to still be drunk or high.

"Gabe, what's stoping you? Because last night... last night was incredible. I've never felt that way during sex before." Diana was not a very sensitive or emotional person, which in the beginning was a plus. But her inability to show emotions was a curse as well as a blessing, which was proved when she stabbed me in the back and slept with another Los Diablos member. Her confession was almost believable, but she had wronged me once and I would never let her do it again.

"No it wasn't. I was drunk or high, I'm not really sure which but it wasn't incredible. You were probably high too, and it was just your imagination. Let's just forget this ever happened." I suggested as I got out of the bed and found my clothes around the room. I was out before Diana had anytime to try to convince me differently.

Walking into my house after escaping Diana, I was greeted by Rose, and baby Ben.

"Where have you been?" Rose questioned.

"You don't wanna know." I said shaking my head and snatching away my nephew. I sat him up on the couch beside me and played with his hands, making him make some baby sounds that made Rose laugh.

"He should start crawling any day now." She patted a spot next to her on the couch. She tried encouraging him to crawl over, making this ridiculous face  while nodding her head up and down.

"Your mama is loco." I told Ben looking down at him. A little baby smile took over his face and he giggled making Rose sigh in exasperation.

"It's not fair! He does everything for you, he's my baby ya know. You can stop trying to steal him away."

"I walk into my home to be greeted by my kids fighting over my grandchild." Mi mama laughed as she closed the front door, careful to lock it behind her.

"Mama, Gabe is trying to steal my baby boy!" Rose cried running into our moms arms.

"Rose, don't be tonto. Gabriel and Benjamin have the male bonding. Even if he tried Gabe wouldn't be able to steal your baby, because you're his mother." Mi mama explained smoothing Rose's hair down and rolling her eyes when she caught my expression.
