Ascella's POV I walked up to the door and knocked. It opened and Rafael smiled. "Merry Christmas." He pulled me in. "Rafael...what are we doing here?" "I want you to meet my mom and grandmother." "Raffa!" He shushed me and I whispered, "Your mom??? My dad doesn't even know." "Is that her?" A voice came from the kitchen. "Yes, mamí!" "Raffa..." I whined. "It's fine. And she kinda sorta figured it out..." "When?" "You dropped me off here that one day, remember?" "And she was here?" "Promise me, I didn't know either." Footsteps approached and I gripped Rafael's arm. She was a middle age woman, very serious. "Hello, my name is Lucia, Rafael's mother. You must be Ascella." I shook her hand, "It's wonderful to meet you." "You are very young." I could feel my cheeks burn and Rafael tisked, "Ma..." She laughed and lead us to the dining room, where an older woman sat looking out the window. She had beautiful silver and gray hair that reached her shoulders just barely. She turned and smiled, "Rafael. Hello, pequeño." He kissed her cheek and then gestures to me, "Abuelita, this is...mi amor: Ascella. My abuela Catalina." "Oh, yes! Rafael told me so much about you! You are very beautiful like he said." I looked to him as he looked away sheepishly. I smiled and sat, "Your grandson is a very good man." "Si, el juez." "I'm not a judge, abuela..." "I think he'd a great one." I whispered, "Habla conmigo, por favor, I'd like to know what Rafael was like when he was younger." Lucia laughed, "I'll tell you everything if it causes him to spend more time with us." "Mamí..." he groaned and sat, drinking coffee. "Si, I'll get his fotos." Abuela got up. Rafael went to help her and made a face towards me. I laughed quietly and turned back to Lucia. "I've never seen him so relaxed. Even if he's with us...he still talks about work." I nodded and pushed my hair behind my ear, "Ms. Barba...my father doesn't really know about Rafael and I. And I don't really want him to know yet..." "Of course, niña." I nodded and looked at the clock, "I can't stay long, my dad is expecting me to be home...he just went out for a drink with his friends." "Your dad is a detective, right?" "Si, señora." "I'm guessing he doesn't get along with Rafael." "How'd you know?" "Rafael is...engreído. You know that." "Yes, I do..." "You and Rafael are alike. I didn't really like Yelina, but he went and dated her anyways..." I mentally winced at the thought of Yelina. Little does she know that Yelina broke his heart greatly. "If only Rafael were more like his old friend, Senator Alejandro Muñoz. He'd be liked more." Now: I am mentally screaming. Rafael came back into the room with multiple photo albums. Catalina sat back down and smiled, opening one of them. I laughed, seeing him as a baby and a teen. His ears were basically tomatoes on the side of his head an hour into it. I smiled and Rafael decided to show me around the apartment. He held my hand as he lead me down the hallway and I admired the photos on the wall. "This is my old room..." he opened the door and there was a bed with deep red sheets and a bookshelf. A desk was on the other side of the room. I sat on the bed and looked at him as he stood, looking at the books on the shelves. "Rafi..." He turned and I patted the spot next to me. He set himself down and held my hand, bringing it to his lips. I scooted closer to him and placed my head on his shoulder. He turned and wrapped his arms around me with my head in the crook of his neck. "Thank you for coming today..." he whispered. I nodded, rubbed his thigh gently, and sighed. "What's wrong?" "Just...first Christmas without Zara..." Rafael's hands rubbed my back gently, "Yeah..." I kissed his neck gently and he sighed, running his hands through my hair, "Don't start something you can't finish, Ella." I smiled and pulled away, "Who says I can't finish this?" "My mom is gonna walk in on us." He hissed. I pursed my lips and nodded. "Que hay de mi cumpleaños?" He smirked and nodded, "Of course..." he got up and went into one of his drawers. He pulled something out and sat down. "I wanted to give you this..." "Rafi, I don't want anything from you...you're enough." He shook his head and placed something in my hand, "It may look weird, but it's something that means a lot to me..."

I looked at it as he spoke, "It's sea glass. Brought it back with me the last time I was in Cuba." "They remind me of your eyes..." I murmured, looking up to him, immediately making eye contact. He kissed me gently and laid me against his bed. I laughed and fixed a strand that was falling out of his styled hair. He looked at me for a long time before I spoke up. "I have to go soon, Raffa..." He nodded and got up. I said goodbye to Lucia and Catalina before walking down to my car with him. He kissed me before I got in and started the car. "I'll see you soon." I smiled. He nodded and walked back up to the apartment.
Rafael's POV I smiled as I walked back into the apartment. My mother came up to me with another cup of coffee. "You have that look, mijo." "What look?" A drank from the mug. "The same look you had when Yelina and you started dating." I felt my heart ache, "Yelina...is different from Ascella." "Are you sure about that?" I rolled my eyes, "Mamí, please." "You better tell her father soon. She's almost 19, he needs to know." "I know..." I sighed and looked out the window as it snowed a bit more. Then I headed into my room and sat where Ascella sat. Her perfume lingered subtly and I smiled gently, smoothing my hand over the covers. Maybe Ascella and I will own an apartment together one day and grow old together. Maybe go somewhere in Cuba after we retire...
Nick's POV Smut Warning I don't even know what I'm doing. I don't even know this woman's name either...my friend came with her to that bar, and I left with her. This car was pretty cramped to be doing this, but I could care less. It was almost 7 and I knew Ascella would be home...I knew I shouldn't be doing this. Moans filled the car because of this stranger I was with, but I was silent. I ravished her neck more as she rode me, panting and huffing. She pulled away and kissed me roughly, causing me to lay her down on the seat and go faster. Jesus, I shouldn't be doing this. And on all days, Christmas. I came close to cumming until my phone started to ring, causing everything to stop. I reached for it and saw Ascella's ID. The woman and I pulled apart and I answered, trying to maintain my breathing. "H-hey, bebz. What is it?" "I was just wondering where you are...I made dinner and I don't want it to go cold." I looked down, "Just catching up with friends from Narcotics, babygirl. I'll be home soon. Don't worry." "Okay, dad...see you soon." "See you soon." I hung up and the woman smirked while fixing herself, "So you're a family man." "Just me and my daughter." "Separated from your wife?" "Yeah." "Well, detective, thank you for that...gift. I hope you liked it as well." "Yeah, thank you..." "Vivian." "Vivian..." I watched as she got out, "You can call me on my cell or office phone anytime. Left my number in your jacket. And don't worry, my mouth will stay shut. Merry Christmas. She walked away and I sighed, tucking in my shirt and fixing me tie. If Ascella ever found out about this...she'll kill me. I started the car and drove home, trying to enjoy the rest of my Christmas...
