Zobeida De Jesus was the 20-year-old sister of Zabdiel, a member of CNCO. She was by no means riding her brother's coattails, already a successful actress in a tv show called 'Shadowhunters'. This firey, headstrong, Latina moves to Ecuador with the...
Zoe burst into the living room with a smile on her face, curves bouncing in her tiny outfit. Black cropped top, jean high-waisted shorts that ripped under her backside. Red vans that matched the leather jacket hanging over her arm, cat-eye sunglasses perched on her nose. Joel, Christopher, and Richard all stared at her, Zoe not paying attention.
"Deja de mirarla!" Zabdiel yelled for the boys to stop looking at his sister, muttering obscenities under his breath. Zoe rolled her eyes, leaning down to pick up her water bottle. "Sure, Pequeña. You guys?" He turned to the other boys, who all nodded in agreeance. "I'll get my keys," Jogging upstairs, Zoe looked at all four boys as a single thought reflected in each head.
"I call shotgun!" Everyone shouted at once, Zoe breaking out into a sprint. Joel tripped over Erick, which in turn made Richard trip. Christopher, however, managed to jump over the dogpile and chase after the only girl. "Come back here!" He shouted, impressed by how quick she was moving. Zoe had just opened the passenger door when two arms slipped around her stomach, pulling her back so he could take the seat.
"You cheated!" Zoe gasped, hands on her curvaceous hips. Christopher turned so she was standing in between his legs, biting on his lower lips. "That seat belongs to me," She leaned in closer, almost hitting the seat he was sitting in. He smirked, reaching forward to carefully tuck a stray hair behind her ear.
"There's a perfectly good seat right here, Princesa." Christopher motioned to his lap, expecting her to turn red-faced and crawl into the back. Instead, she surprised him by smirking. Taking his momentary surprise to her advantage, she pulled herself up into the car so that her body curved around him. "Zobeida," He whispered, almost making her forget what she was doing.
One hand on his shoulder, she leaned in close enough that he couldn't see what her other hand was doing. Yesterday she realized the center console turned into a seat. So, while she was distracting him she flipped the console up. Christopher was stiff under her touch, wanting so badly to change that. Zoe tilted her head, grinning wickedly.
"You really should pay more attention," In one swift movement, Zoe was seated directly beside Christopher. He didn't bother to hide his shock, glaring at her after a few blinks. "I'm taking a break from men, Christopher. Guys my age suck," She flashed a small smile, switching her attention to the boys joining them. Christopher stared at Zoe, wondering who hurt her.
I'm twenty-five, actually.
"Since when do we have three seats in the front?" Zabdiel questioned in confusion as he slid in the driver's seat, Zoe tightly wedged between the boys. She rolled her eyes with a laugh, surprised when Christopher spoke for her. "Since the only smart one moved to Ecuador," The boys laughed, Zoe trying to get comfortable in her seat. Christopher leans down so only she could hear what he was about to say.
"My offer still stands, Princesa."

"It's so beautiful here," Zoe watched the waves crash under the setting sun, perched on a rock. She didn't know who was behind her, just that it was one of the boys that strayed away from their bonfire. "Everything about it," Vision trained on the distance, she felt the presence sit down beside her. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she inhaled the ocean scent of saltwater. "I haven't even been here for three days and it already feels like home."
"I'm glad we're treating you so well," Christopher grinned, bumping her shoulder. She laughed, taking a quick glance beside her. "Maybe I can convince you to stay forever," He stated as if it was the simplest sentence he'd ever spoken. Which, to Christopher, it almost felt like it was. Zoe flashed him a smile, cheeks flushing pink.
"Maybe you can," She answered cheekily, turning back to the water. "But, for now, I'm going for a swim." Zoe popped off their rock, walking backward. Pausing before she reached the water, she reached for the hemline of her shirt and hoisted it over her head. Christopher's jaw dropped, as did the boys watching from shore.
"Ay! Put your shirt on, psicópata!"
Zabdiel yelled, the other boys rushing toward the water. Zoe giggled, turning back to Christopher with a coy smile. "Well, are you coming, niño bonito?" Pretty boy. He gave her the hint of a smile over his new nickname, slowly advancing toward her. Christopher removed his shirt, their bodies not visible under the night sky. Zoe took off, splashing water up by accident. "Come on, Zab!"
Groaning, he eventually caved into his sisters' wishes. Zabdiel would do absolutely anything for his sister, including swimming at night in Tumbes, Peru. Zoe dove into the deep water, rejoicing in the feeling. Breaking through the surface, Zoe gasped for air while smoothing back her hair. A wicked grin crossing her face, Zoe launched herself at her older brother.
"Ay!"
Richard and Joel joined in on the fight, Christopher watching Zoe from a distance. A part of him wanted to make sure they weren't too rough with her. The other part just enjoyed looking at her for as long as possible. Erick chuckled, doing a double-take when he saw Christopher eyeing his best friend. He smirked, scaring him by smacking his shoulder.
"Chris, you are my brother. But, hurt her and I'll kill you."
"Noted,"
