Hasta La Muerte // CNCO

Chapter One

As soon as you had swung the door open to your apartment, the little girl stormed in. She wrapped her tiny arms around your legs while basically jumping with excitement.

"Tia!" She shouts. You look down at the girl, laughing at her reaction to seeing you for the first time in a while. You place a hand on her shoulder, making her pull away from your legs and squatting down to her height.

"Hi, Aaliyah. I missed you," You greet. You wrapped your arms around her, picking her up from the ground and placing you on her hips. Richard stands in the doorway with his girlfriend, Camila, an arm wrapped her waist as they watched you and Aaliyah interact. As soon as the girl was securely on your hip you focused your attention on them.

"Come in," You invite them in, pulling the door wider to allow them in and walking to place Aaliyah on the couch. They walked in, shrugging their coats off and placing them on the coat hanger next to the door and joining you.

"Aaliyah begged us to bring her here. She really missed you," Richard's girlfriend comments. You smile at her for a moment before looking at the girl in your lap. She was leaning on your chest looking up at you. You ran your hand through her soft dark brown hair.

"Is that right princesa?" You ask the little girl, moving your hand to her side and tickling her. You watched as the girl burst with laughter, trying to wriggle out of your reach. You stop and let her catch her breath while you looked up to your brother.

"Good thing I made us lunch. You guys hungry for some pollo guisado?" You ask as you stand up placing the girl back onto your hip.

"Hermana, you know what's good," Your brother responds, standing up along with you and helping his girlfriend up. You all managed to get caught up on everything new in each other's lives as you guys made your way to the kitchen. Camila told Richard to help you serve the food while she and Aaliyah went to set the table.

"So have you thought about the arrangement?" He asks his sister as soon as his family was out of earshot. You scoffed at his question, separating the food into different serving bowls.

"Richard, I already said one date." You answered.

"I'm just making sure because the date is tonight." He whispers, grabbing the bowls. You nod at him, helping him take the food to the dining table. "Meet him at Giordano's at 8." He tells you the details. You two made it to the table and ate and had conversations with the family until they left and it was time for you to get ready.

He spotted you, sitting at the bar drinking from your martini as you waited for him. He noted how your hair was nice and curled, a golden bracelet was wrapped around your wrist, and he could imagine his hands in their place instead, holding them above your head. He shook that thought from his head as his eyes continued to make their way down your body, you decided to wear a red dress which clung to your body and the fabric dipped between your breast, showing off your cleavage. He smirked at himself, shoving his hands into his pockets before deciding to take a step in your direction.

"Y/N?" He questions as he reaches you. He leans his elbow against the counter of the bar. As soon as you heard your name you turned to him, a smile gracing your face as you nodded. The man in front of you wore an all-black suit, his brown hair with light highlights swooped across his forehead, his warm brown eyes peering into yours.

"Hi," You greeted. He smiled back at you, standing up straight and stretched his hand towards you. You took it, wrapping your hand around his as he helped you off the chair.

"I'm Christopher," He introduced. He leaned down and placed a kiss on your hand, peering up at you as he did so. God the things you would let him do to you.
