Watch the video of Santi & Gabby some of the scenes have inspired me for this story



Unbelievable.

When Santiago told me that he wouldn't be able to show me around because of who he is I expected us to have to go undercover. I imagined the guys wearing something that made them unrecognizable in case someone saw us and decided to call the cops.

I never expected for all of them to be treated like famous celebrities.

"Are they ever going to stop staring at us?" Nessa muttered, glancing from the corner of her eye at the people staring at our small group.

"I don't think so babe" Leo said with one arm around her shoulder. "This is how it is every time we go out."

The guys had decided to take us out for a walk around the Plaza and show us around. We were walking down the streets of Sinaloa as a small group, Leo and Daniel were walking with Nessa and Sofia under their arm while I was stuck in between my brothers who were on my left side and the Bustamante boys on my right. Our body guards kept close to us disguised in regular clothing to blend in with the crowd so that we wouldn't call for attention...which I didn't see how it helped at all since people still knew who the guys were.

The people smiled and nodded in acknowledgement to the guys but their eyes were glued on Santiago, their eyes showing different emotions directed at him: respect, admiration, fear, jealousy and from most of the young women: lust

The thing that amazed me the most is that they didn't seem to care about the fact that six members of powerful cartels were walking down the main Plaza like they own the place without a care in the world, and two of those members are the Don's of the cartels.

Why haven't they gone to tell the police?

Not that I want them to do that but it's what any normal person would do!

"Sis, are you okay?" Martin asked out loud only for our group to hear. "You look worried."

"I'm fine, just a bit shocked." I rubbed my forehead. The whole situation was giving me a headache. "Why haven't the authorities showed up to bust your asses?"

As soon as I said that I noticed a man dressed in his Police uniform walking towards us. My heartbeat speed up and I watched with wide eyes as he walked past us but not before tipping his hat and smiling at Santiago.

"Buenas tardes Don Santiago" he greeted Santi. (Good afternoon Don Santiago)

"Buenas tardes"

"What the hell was that!?" Nessa laughed. "Doesn't he know what you guys do?!"

"Oh, he knows exactly what we do for living." Santiago informed us. "They know who we are, they know what we do, some of them even know where we live. But in case you don't remember this is our territory, we've never done anything to harm any of the people living here in fact we've actually given money to help our community and because of that we've earned their respect and loyalty, some of them are sacred of us and that's why they keep their mouths shut."

"You mean to tell me that all these people are on your side?" Sofi asked incredulously. "Even the police?"

"Yes..."

I snorted. "Well that just shows how corrupt the government is."

"It's quite disappointing actually, but you're completely right about that." Santi agreed.

We continued our way around the Plaza with everyone watching our every move. I tried to ignore the stares but it was impossible, there were little stands all over the plaza where people sold random little things like food or small crafts, and I couldn't even look around comfortably because the owners and the customers had their eyes on us. I saw a few of them whispering to each other trying to act discreet but some of them didn't seem to care if we heard them as we walked by.

"Quienes seran esas muchachas que estan con ellos?" (Who are those girls that are with them?)

"Cuanto a que para la proxima semana traen a otras!" (Next week they'll probably bring some other girls!)

"Estas muchachas son las mas bonitas comparadas a las otras." (These girls are way pretty compared to the others.)

The people weren't even trying to be discrete about it, they were full out talking about us like it was a normal thing to do. As shocking as it may be, the Sinaloa Cartel was like the Royal family of Mexico.

"From what I hear you guys have a reputation of being womanizers." I commented outloud, trying to sound like it didn't bother me.

Joel let out a loud laugh. "You jealous sweetheart?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm not jealous, just trying to point out some of the stuff I've been hearing."

"Actually, you do sound a little jealous little sis" Martin smirked looking at me with a knowing look.

"Do you have a crush on someone Gabbs?" Alex piped up, ganging up on me with the rest of the guys.

I looked up to see Santiago trying to hide an amused smile, and I knew he wasn't smiling because of the teasing the guys were putting me through but because he knew the one I had a crush on was him.

Little son of a bitch.

"Muchachos!" A voice called out catching our attention (Boys!)

I looked across the street to see woman who looked to be in her 50's standing outside a small ice cream shop with. She waved at us to go over to her and Santiago walked ahead leading our group to the shop.

There was a smile on his face as he went over to hug the small lady. "I haven't see you in a while Sarita. How you been?"

"I'm good mijo, same as always." She turned to the rest of the guys and gave them a hug. Even my brothers knew her."You guys haven't come to visit me in a long time, I thought you had forgotten about me."

"We've been really busy lately"

"Busy spending time with these beautiful girls, ehh?" she smiled at my two friends and I.

"Sarita, this is our youngest sister Gabby" Martin introduced me to the older lady.

"Mucho gusto conocerla" I stepped forward to shake her hand. (Nice to meet you)

"And this is my girlfriend Sofia" Daniel grinned proudly while Sofi shook Sarita's hand.

Sarita then turned to my red-haired friend. "What about you young lady?"

"Vanessa es mia" Leo said. (Vanesssa is mine)

"Yours?" Nessa turned to her boyfriend with a horrified expression. "I'm not some toy! I'm your girlfriend."

Sarita laughed. "Now that's the way to talk to a man!"

The lady invited us in to her ice cream shop and offered to give us all free ice cream but Santiago ended up paying for all of us, much to Sarita's dismay.

I learned that Sarita had known Santiago's mother back in the days, way before she had married Don Ernesto. The Sinaloa cartel was very fond of Sarita, they helped her whenever she needed money and in return for their kindness she has always been loyal to the cartel.

"You should see all the people that come in here asking me for information on the Sinaloa Cartel, but most of all they want me to tell them about the famous Don's, Don Ernesto and Santiago" Sarita told us while we ate our ice cream. "I never pay any attention to them because I don't want to reveal anything that might cause trouble but everyone knows that I'm a close friend of the Cartel."

"Aren't you afraid that you might get in trouble with the police for protecting them?" I asked her.

"Get in trouble with the police?" she scoffed. "The cops are terrified of the Cartel. They never come in here to question me about anything, and they've heard the rumors of my friendship with the Bustamante's."

"Some fucked up government we have" Sofi shook her head.

"Tell me about it" Sarita agreed. "You can't trust the government in this Country anymore."

"That's why I decided to join the bad side, my friends" Martin grinned.

"What about you girls?" Sarita turned to look at Nessa, Sofi and I. "Why are you with these pendejos, when you know they're nothing but trouble?"

"Well as you know, I'm the daughter of Salvador so that makes me part of all this." I said to her. "But we're with them because we need to be protected."

"Protected from who?"

"Los Zetas are trying to hunt us down because they saw us with these pendejos."

"And you decided to have a relationship with them while you're at it?" she raised an eyebrow at my two friends.

Sofi blushed while Vanessa just shrugged it off.

The front door of the shop made a small noise. A group of girls walked in--girls wouldn't be the exact word to describe them, they looked our age and there were four of them. They were all dressed in very tight clothes, with a lot of make-up on their faces.

There was one in particular, she seemed to be the leader and had this vibe to her that practically screamed: Bitchy-Slut. She stalked over to our table with scowl on her face and stopped right in front of Santi.

"I heard you were walking around with new play toys" she sneered.

"What are you doing here, Carmen?" Santi said through gritted teeth.

"I just came here to warn your new putas" she turned to glare at Nessa, Sofi and me.

"I'm sorry to inform you sweetie but we are no sluts" Nessa stated.

"Trust me" the girl continued completely ignoring Nessa. "They're going to drop you just like they dropped me and my friends... and when they do they'll come crawling back to us."

"Carmen that's enough" Leo said standing up.

"What?" Carmen spoke mockingly. "Don't want them to find out how you and your little brother fucked around with Faviola and Monica?"

Daniel turned pale white, my two friends were now glaring at their boyfriends accusingly.

Could this girl be telling the truth?

Carmen came in here bitching at Santi, which probably means she had something going on with him.

"Okay that's enough!" Sarita yelled at Caremen. "I want you out of my shop. Now!"

Carmen laughed wickedly. "Whatever. But you know I'm telling the truth Santiago." With that said, she turned on her heel and walked back to her group of friends and out of the shop.

There was an awkward silence after the scene, Leo sat back down silently. Nessa looked pissed and Sofi had a blank look on her face, which only meant she was trying really hard to hold in the tears.

"Let's go" I stood up. Santiago began to rise from his seat but I stopped him. "I'm talking to Vanessa and Sofia"

"Nessa we can talk about this" Leo looked at her pleadingly.

"I don't want to talk. I'm leaving"

Alex stood up. "I'm going with you, there's no arguing. You three can't go out there on your own."

I nodded. "Vamonos"

The three of us followed my brother out the door but before I could walk out Santi caught me by the elbow.

"We'll talk later" he whispered to me.

I glared at him, cautious of the suspicious look we were getting from Joel who was still sitting at the table with the rest of the guys and Sarita. "Fuck you. I already heard everything I needed to hear from Carmen" I whispered back fiercely.

"You have to hear me out. I'll look for you when I get to the mansion."

******************************************************

"He can go fuck around with the bitch again. I don't even care anymore!" Nessa babbled.

This is what she always does whenever someone disappoints her. She makes it look like she doesn't give a fuck about anything but truth is, it's actually killing her in the inside.

"They are drug lords. What else did you expect?" I shrugged.

We were walking down the Plaza, trying to find the street where we had parked out the trucks. Alex and Sofi were right behind us and he was trying to get her to talk to him, probably attempting to get a chance with her now that Daniel is pretty much fucked.

"He's going to try to sweet-talk me into taking him back" Nessa laughed bitterly,

I smiled sadly. "Probably"

"I don't even want to go back to the mansion" she grumbled, shaking her head. "I really need a drink right now."

"Alex won't let us go anywhere without him" I replied, rolling my eyes.

Nessa glanced back. "Alex is a little to busy taking care of my sister, he won't even notice if we slip away." she joked.

There were still a lot of people walking around the Plaza. The bodyguards had stayed back at the ice cream shop watching over the guys. Alex was distracted, we could easily get lost in the crowd without him noticing.

Perfect.

""Let's do it then!"

Nessa turned to look at me surprised. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah"

"What about Sofi?"

"Lover boy is with her, she's got a shoulder to cry on." I shrugged.

"We'll get in trouble" she said, looking torn between what to do.

"Since when do you care about that?" I laughed.

That seemed to do the trick.

"Fuck it! Vamonos" she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the crowd of people around us.

We walked as fast as we could and didn't look back. After we thought it was safe for us to walk normally we began to look around for a bar.

"This reminds me of old times" she laughed

"Back when we used to skip class in High School?"

"Hell yeah."

Nessa and I headed towards a bar that was at the very end of the street. The doors of the place were wide open and you could hear the loud music playing from the inside.

"Now this" Nessa pointed at the bar called El Rincon. "This looks like a legit place to get drunk and drown away your miseries."

"You can get drunk. I'm just here to be the supportive friend and watch over you."

We walked in to find loads of men sitting around. There were a few woman here and there but most of all it was drunk men. The seats by the bar were already filled up with people so we decided to find a small table in the very back, somewhere where we wouldn't be bothered.

"So you mean to tell me" she said as soon as we were seated. "That it didn't bother you to find out that Santi was with that chick Carmen?"

"He can do whatever he wants."

A young waiter came over to our table. "Que deasan ordenar?" (What do you wish to order?)

"Una botella de tequila Jose Cuervo y dos copas por favor" my friend said to him. (A bottle of Jose Cuervo tequila and two cups, please)

He left to go get our order and she turned back to look at me.

"I know it bothered you Gabby, even though there's nothing going on between you two I know you like him."

If only you knew...

Soon enough we had the tequila bottle and cups ready on our table.

I watched as Vanessa poured some of the liquid into both cups. One for her and one for me.

"I told you I'm not drinking."

"You like him."

"I do" I responded. "But I'm not going to drink over a guy that isn't even worth it."

"Just one"

"No"

"Please? For me?"

"Fine" I sighed. "You're older then me Ness. You should be setting a good example, being a good role model."

"Shut up and drink" Nessa ordered, shaking her head and grinning.

For some reason, I got a bad feeling about all this, but I followed her orders.

"Esta es por tener la libertad de estar aqui sin todos esos guradespaldas" she raised up her glass to mine. (This one is for the great feeling of being here with a bunch of bodyguards.)

"Salud" (Cheers)
