Ernesto was among those who helped out the neighborhood after the fire damaged
his neighbors home, when the phone rang,it was Lupita.
"Lupita!,how are things in San Juan?, Ernesto Said. "I am doing ok papa, my concern is about you, I saw what happened, are you and Anayla ok?"Lupita Said, Fredrico smiled and said "We are doing very well, dont worry my child, nothing or no one will distroy this family,How was your party?",Lupita smiled and said "Papa, he is all I dreamed about, we danced and talked till it was late,he's all I dream about", Ernesto Smiled and said "where are you speaking from?" Lupita said "Im shopping with grandma Luisa", Ernesto was pleased and said, "well Lupita stay safe and be good!!, we want to meet this young man. We love you honey."as Ernesto hung up the phone.
Meanwhile Lupita and Luisa went to San Juan's version of bloomingdales to buy a new wardrobe, as lupita tried on many outfits, outside the store, Rocko's good rodrigo was watching, and with his cell phone called rocko "boss, she has been trying on clothes for a while, nothing happ...wait a minute," then a grey ford mustang pulled up in the parking lot, and out came the mystery man.
Rodrigo then said "oh boy, boss..he just arrived! and has entered the store..." Rocko was on the other end "Stop him!!" rocko shouted.
But it was too late.

Lupita saw her knight in shining armour and he eyed her and both smiled, "Hello my darling jewel, your presence here brightens up the day even more than ever", and looked at her in the short skirt and blue low cut top and said " you know what would make that outfit sparkle?" he then took a box from his top pocket, and gave it to her, "open it" said the mystery man , as customers and luisa looked on.
Lupita opened it and saw a beautiful diamond necklace, the light made every karat sparkle like stars,"Oh my, sir that is exquisite," Luisa Said ,"but how could...", the mystery man stopped luisa and said, when I first saw her ,I knew she was the one for me,Ive been in love with her since that Miami street market." the man smiled, Lupita looked at the man and you could see the sparkle in her eyes as she looked at him and she knew that he was the one for her.
"I hope you will do me the honor of joining me for dinner tonight" the man said, Lupita was stunned and couldnt find the words,then said "yes,my love I would love to" lupita said breathlessly, the man then took her hand and kissed it, he then gave her a rose with a note "BE MY LOVE,BE MY HEART,FOR TONIGHT WE WILL ENJOY THE SUNSET,AND THE SUN RISE ON A NEW DAY-Signed Stefan Luis Barroni"
Lupita held the rose to her chest and sighed "we will be together and be as one with the night","Oh grandma Luisa, ive never been so happy in my life" Luisa looked at Lupita and spoke"I can tell lupita, you are really in love, he sure is a dream". as they left with 5 bags, Luisa accidentally bumped into rodrigo, "oh my!, are you alright sir, i am sorry I shoudlve watched where I was walking" luisa said as she helped rodrigo up from the ground,"its ok," rodrigo said "no harm,no foul" and left..
Rodrigo picked up his phone and called Rocko, "WHAT HAPPENED??!" Rocko said angerly.."well sir, I had sort of an accident" Im ok, but the blow gun got broke when her grandma bumped into me,but they do plan to meet for dinner tonight", Rodrigo explained.
Rocko said "ohhh really...well lets make sure their dinner will be one they will never forget then...FOR IT WILL BE THEIR LAST!! and hung up.
As Rodrigo drove his red corvette out of the parking lot, a shadowy figure was on a pay phone..."Your plan is working,but I dont know how long I can remain undercover,its not easy following my sister, but you said to make sure nothing wrong happens, I know Stefan is the one for Lupita, but how long can we keep this charade from him, I gotta go now, let me know if your coming down to visit, im sure lupita will be glad to see you guys, dont worry no one knows im here,just tell father all is well",as the figure hung up the phone,on the other end of the line Anayla hung up from her end and looked up to the heavens and said "good luck ruiz,be careful".
