At The Club

"Buenos norches, linda señora" his voice echoed from behind and startled Rosa who was waiting for the bar man to fill both glasses with red wine.

"Buenos norches" she replied without a second thought or even looking in his direction. Which all seemed rather surprising to Javier, he never got such reactions from ladies before at the famous Coco Bango nightclub in Cancún.

"How do you do; esa camisita està chula" he complimented, not minding her reaction and trying to put together a conversation.

"Can I buy a glass of wine"?

"Sorry, not interested, I already have one right here" she answered rather rudely.

"Hey, I'm just trying to be friends here" he said easily, staring down into her deep blue eyes.

"I don't care chavo, I'm with someone right now, I don't need no friends". She said and looked in the direction of her boyfriend, Fernando who sat across at the table.

"Chido" Javier said and made way for her to move.

"I don't know the dude over there" she told Fernando when she got to the table. "He's pestering me".

"Who?" he asked looking towards the direction of her finger, she tried not to raise it too high so Javier won't see her pointing at him.

"What does he want?" Fernando asked, shaking off the ash from his cigarette.

"I don't know, he offered to buy me a drink"

"Did you not tell him you are with me?"

"I did Fernando, you know all you men, you never back off"

"Hey, what do you mean, we never back off?"

"Whatever" she said and picked up her glass to take a sip.

"Where are you going" she asked as he stood up rather abruptly as if he was mad at someone.

"Che Chavo, chido?" he asked Javier as he walked up to him where he sat waiting for his beer.

"Chido" said Javier and gave him a smile.

"Don't smile at me you brat! No te metas con nosotros" he threatened.

"Hey relax man, what's this about?" asked Javier, confused about what the threat was all about.

"No sabes quien soy?" he asked.

"Come one man, relax, we are both grown ups here, this is not the right place to act like a child". By this time Javier's bodyguard was well advanced and waited for Fernando to make one silly mistake and regret staying up late that night to club.

"Te puedo invitar un trago?" Asked Javier, offering to buy him a drink.

"Cállate la Boca!" Fernando yelled at him.

"Okay man, that is enough, back off!" Shouted Javier as he stood to challenge Fernando.

"Get him out of here" he told his bodyguard who moved closer to Fernando with clenched fist looking to throw the first punch.

"No te metas con nosotros Chavo" said Fernando as he backed away and walked towards his girlfriend Rosa who watched them from a distance.

"Hey! What was that?" she asked, shocked by his reaction.

"What do you mean?"

"I didn't say he touched me, I just said he offered to buy me a drink, why would you do that?"

"You like him huh?"

"Fuck you Fernando! What do you mean I like him? Do I know who the guy is?"

"Whatever! I don't want to see his ugly ass anywhere close to you ever!"

"Damn it Fernando, you are so unbelievable, so, every guy I talk to now is your rival?"

"I don't like them guys, they all just come here to chiflado. He won't like me the next time I see him close to you" he threatened.

"I think I'm going to take a pee, if he comes anywhere close to you, just ring me"

"And why would I do that? So you would kill him" She snapped at him.

Javier watched the couple argue and all the while thought about just how beautiful Rosa was. She was tall and light skinned, with her hair flowing all the way across her shoulders to the cool breeze at the spacious club that boomed with high pitch music and aura she wore a tight top and fluffy Jean pants.

The Coco Bango nightclub was one of the most popular clubs in Cancún, Southern Mexico. It came alive at 8 p.m. attracting clubbers from all corners as they grooved to the tone of classical Mexican music.

"Buenos norches senores na senoras, welcome to Coco Bango! The best nightclub in all of Mexico!"

The DJ announced across the PA system.

"As out pattern is, it's countdown to 12 a.m. and that's when the Coco Bango comes alive! Can I hear some noise!"

The crowd cheered and clapped.

"And guess what, today, in our midst, is a special quest, the man who needs no introduction, the billionaire's heir, ladies and gentlemen, give it up for JAVIER CARLOS!!

The crowed roared and applauded as he walked towards the stage where stood the DJ to make a speech.

"Holy shit! Fernando is fucked!" Rosa said as she saw Javier walk onto the stage and rushed towards the rest room to look for him. He had been gone for almost fifteen minutes.

"Just to pee, you asshole" she said as she made her way through the cheering crowd to the restroom.

"Fernando!" she called out. "Where are you asshole, what's taking you so long to come out of the restroom?"

She made to open one of the doors before someone on the inside opened it.

"Hey! What are you doing here? This restroom is for guys. Get the fuck out of here bitch!"

"Watch your mouth, you asshole" she yelled back. Rosa was the kind of girl no one would want to mess with, she was the queen of the ghetto. As an orphan, she had been sold into prostitution from her native home in Bilbao, Spain to a drug baroness Elena. She grew up in company of other girls just like her who were used as prostitutes and trafficking drugs for their mistress.

She was quite the notorious prostitute and had met Fernando when she went to deliver some coke to his boss Arturo. Fernando took a liken for her since then and the two kept in touch till it became more intimate.

"No sabes quien soy?" the fearsome looking guy yelled at her.

"Callate la boca!" she yelled back without blinking an eye.

"Quite the tough bitch huh?" he advanced towards her.

"Back off you motherfucker!" she stood still.

"Che Chavo, what the hell is going on here" Fernando's cracked voice echoed as he walked towards the agitated pair.

"Hey, what the fuck do you want with my girl, heh?".

"Yo little ass bitch here sniffing around the guys restroom"

"What did you broke ass nigga just say?"

"You heard me asshole, now tell her to apologize or I'm going to put her in her place"

At this Fernando unleashed his fury and smashed his head with the bottle of beer he had in hand.

"No one! I mean no one talks to my girl like that motherfucker". He took her by the hand and walked out of the restroom I the dancehall.

"Hey babe, what you doing sniffing around in the guys restroom huh?" he asked her.

"I came looking for your dirty ass"

"What's up? Did shit go down while I went out?"

"Yeah, a lot is going on right now, there's something you need to see"

"What is that huh?" he asked, drooling over too much beer.

"Right there, on that stage" she said, pointing at Javier who was addressing the crowd.

"Holy hell!"

"Yeah, I though so too, your temper is going to be the end of you one day"

"Yo, bitch, don't you dare talk to me that way again".

By this time the crowd shouted and scampered for safety as some armed men had barged into the club shooting in the air.

The man, Diego, whose head he had smashed with a bottle had called his gang and they had come in their numbers searching for Fernando.

"I think they are looking for me" he said to Rosa as they crawled their way towards the exit.

"Damn it Fernando! You are always getting in trouble every time we go out to party!"

"Shut the fuck up and stay calm"! He shushed her.

The armed men searched every corner of the club and the restroom but couldn't find Fernando or Rosa. They had slipped past them at the door among the agitated crowd.

"Hey, you two, want a ride?" Javier asked as he stopped by them just outside the club.

"Fuck off asshole" Fernando replied angrily.

"Yeah, sure" Rosa said, rather shyly.

"Come on Fernando, you don't want those guys to meet you here"

"Whatever bitch, I ain't riding with the clown" he snapped.

"Its okay" said Javier with a smile and before driving off. Fernando took the alley and made his way to his hood where he met with his guys and told them what had happened at the club.

The police had arrived at the scene of the incident and had cordoned off the area to restore normalcy after the gun men had fled at the sound of the siren approaching.
