Your Pov


I kept tailing the three of them with Karla half the way there back to the hotel the neighborhood she kept walking through was nothing but dangerous, One of my customers got robbed over here and I don't think I can live with myself if something happened to her

And by her I mean my employee and her son

That might be mine, hell you get the point.

I swerve around the corner for a few seconds just to not be noticed before coming right back around and see the masculine figure tugging at Camila's dress strap roughly as I rolled my window down to hear her screaming and the figure place his hand over her mouth making me stop abruptly and hop right out of my car running towards her and a now crying Santiago

"Hey Get the hell off of her!" I say grabbing the visible rugged man in all black and threw him back against a fucked up brick wall as he huffed and puffed I could smell alcohol all over his breath as he came over to swing at me as I ducked down coming around and wrapped my arm around his neck squeezing it as I put him a headlock

"Karla get in my car and lock the door it's over there!" I shouted while the man struggled for air within my grasp as she looked at me scared for her life and tries to calm Santiago down while she rushes towards my car

"If I ever see you touch her again, I'm gonna put you to sleep permanently" I growl the man basically choking and began to fall into complete and utter slumber as I just dropped him down onto the ground pathetically 

"Fucking Drunk" I spat looking down as I walked back to my car Karla holding Santiago in the front running her fingers through his soft locks as I got back in the driver's seat sighing shaking my head with the engine still running I sped back off into the night with all three of us not even saying a single word to one another

This part of the reason why I didn't like Miami when I got here besides the fact that it's fucking hot.


*Several Minutes Later*


We were now sitting in the hotel room with Santi fast asleep while I sat near an open windows far away from the bed and Karla sat on her bed just staring at me her hair semi dry and hanging down, white t shirt and baggy sweatpants, and out of sheer awkwardness I pull out a pack of cigarettes pulling one out

"Do you mind me smoking with him here?" I ask referring to Santiago as she shook her head

"Have you smelled this place?" She asks grinning a bit as I returned a small one as well while I patted my pockets for a lighter

"Do you always forget your lighter?" She lightly chuckles pulling a lighter out of her nightstand drawer walking up to me while I rolled my eyes

"Would you shut up and light my cigarette" I say making her laugh a bit more while she lit my cigarette after I opened the window up

"Actually that's the first thing you've ever said to me" She said as I let a few puffs out and into the air of the open window raising an eyebrow looking back at her

"What?"

"Remember when we first met? You said light my cigarette" Karla quotes making my eyebrows quirk up at the slight memory

"I feel so old looking back at that now" I say looking out into the empty streets of Miami as she stood beside me rather closer than usual as I let my mind wonder back into the past

*Back in the Day Three Years Ago*

"Y/n! Y/n!! it's your turn to bat!"  My close friend and next door neighbor Joel calls out causing me to snap out of my thoughts as I run back towards the middle of the cul de sac my baseball jersey open and hanging and sweat beating off my forehead

"Keep your pants on J I'm on my way!" I say as Lauren just smiles and hands me the bat making me tap the fat wooden tip on my shoe then back on the base

"I'm gonna make sure you strike out Y/n/n!"  I hear Cesar or CC call out to me pointing his finger at me daringly making me smirk as I point my bat out towards the sky

"No way Compa" Cesar says chuckling as I strut my shoulders back before getting back in my stance before Cesar ducked down throwing me a fast and slightly curvy one as I turned my lips into a smirk focusing on the ball and right before I was able to make the bat come in contact with the ball I noticed something I couldn't unsee at the corner of my eyes making me drop the bat entirely

"Strike one! Y/n keep your head in the game" I hear Lauren groan as I turned my attention back towards the girl walking up the street tuning everything else and ran over to her making her stop in her tracks and look at me in confusion

"Can I help you senorita?" She asks as I legit just can't come up with any words and just pull a tattered cigarette out of my pockets as I just stared at her strawberry colored lips

"L-Light my cigarette?" I ask holding it weakly
