While Roberto's plans for revenge began, back in San Juan, Stefan's Limo reached the doors of the Night Club "DOWNTOWN CLUB PRINCESS" ,a valet opened the door and helped Lupita and Maria out first, then Rene' and Stefan, who paid the valet with $25, the valet smiled "thank you sir,i dont know what to do with such a tip" stefan said "celebrate life and enjoy it with your family" then he and Rene took their dates by the arms and said "ladies, shall we?" as the dorrman held the door.
Inside the club it was a beautiful place,more like a palace than a night club. and Lupita and Maria saw some big celebrities.."OH MY GOD" Maria excliamed, "Is'nt that..oh god it is..LUPITA!! Look!!" Lupita turned and saw Pita Ojeda,Ricky Luis, Luisa Fernanda, and Roberto Angelini from Telemundo's most popular shows "De Mananita" and "Cotorrendo",but they also began a 10 city tour for their variety act " Muy Caliente Quatro" a combination of singing ,dancing ,and comedy. Lupita nudged Stefan as she wanted to go meet them , stefan looked and said "cool,i'll introduce them to you" Rene shall we escort our dates to meet them?" Rene said "awesome stefan, cant wait to press the flesh as it were..especially that Luisa & Pita,They are hot!" Maria gave Rne a pinch, "OWWW" rene said "uh but not as smoking hot as you Maria" Rene said ,holding his side where a big bruise now was showing..Stefan chuckled,"Rene' some day you will learn never,ever, say something you will live to regret, especially if your beloved is next to you.." Rene understood..and chuckled although painfully.
Ricky,Pita,Roberto,And Luisa met the 4 and exchanged greetings, lupita asked "I watch your shows very much back in miami, you all do an excellent job", Ricky & Roberto gave the ladies some roses and kissed their hands,Ricky said "Thank you, a lot of people enjoy our show and we are glad to be here to celebrate with our fans on this tour. Roberto said,"Thank you also for the kind words and keep watching." then looked at Maria and Rene and said "you two make a wonderful couple" and gave them both a hug, "stay well and together"Stefan and Rene Kissed the hands of Pita and Luisa,and noticed something strange..Lupita looked EXACTLY like Pita..
"My god, you look just like me",Lupita Said..Pita blushed and smiled ,then took Lupita's hands and said "we could be soul sisters, your beau has very excellent taste", Lupita smiled and gave pita a kiss on the cheek, "you are a beautiful angel Miss Ojeda", Pita smiled and said ."You may call me pita,my friend"..even Ricky,Roberto and Luisa noticed..and invited them all to see their show, PLUS gave them a free pass to visit Telemundo to see both shows. They talked for 30 minutes then Stefan,Lupita,Rene' and Maria all went to their seats to enjoy the show.
As the show began, outside of the club, Rockos henchman Rodrigo was in disguise as a vallet, and went under the limo, and planted a package of explosives beneath the gas tank of the limo and set the timer for 2am, and slinked off then called Rocko, and said, "Boss, Rodrigo here..the package has been delivered to the doorstep and ready to be opened",Rocko said "marvelous! now return when the package has been opened, remember our friend wants to make sure they get the point"and hung up.
Back to the club the show was a success,and the night was still young as the 4 decided to take to the dance floor, it was a magic moment as Lupita was dancing with her dream man Stefan,their eyes sparkling and her smile was contagious..she knew he was her one true love and forgot all about the pain and anguish after Roberto Charlando abused her and broke her heart. Stefan said" are you happy my love?", Lupita, with her arms around the man she loves placed her head on his chest and sighed "yes my beloved, I am so very happy to have you in my heart". Maria looked at Rene and said "Lupita is finally happy,wish something like that could happen to us .." Rene looked in Marias eyes and said"what makes you think it wont", and asked the band to stop, he then took the microphone and kneeled on one knee "Maria my dearest, we've been in love since high school..and i have one question for you" he pulled out a box and opened it as he took Maria's hand, "will you be my queen?",Maria gasped and was for a moment stunned and said "YES!!!"
They embraced as the band played romantic music,the patrons of the club applauded and cheered.
It was getting late,and it would be a long trip home, so they decided to stay in the hotel part of the club,Maria and rene took one room across the hall from the room Lupita and Stefan took,and as Maria and Rene said goodnight to Stefan and Lupita, Lupita looked at Stefan and kissed him passionately, Stefan looked at Lupita and said "my love, tonight let the stars light our way into heaven and bliss
", and with that he told her to close her eyes and he opened the door to their room, "Open your eyes my love" stefan said..
Lupita's eyes opened and she couldnt believe it, the room was huge, the lights were dimmed and rose petals were on the floor and on the bed, champagne was in a bucket and a fire place was going, Stefan put his arms around Lupita and said "look outside my love" as he escorted Lupita to the balcony ..it was magnificent, The hotel and club were built next to a beach overlooking the ocean, the stars glistened and reflected on the waves and the music of the ocean played.
Lupita's eyes widened, its as if this night was created by the angels, she looked at Stefan,his arms arond her , "Stefan, tonight has been one night i will never forget, just to be with you ,if this is a dream, dont wake me up"as she turned to stefan. Stefan smiled and said "Lupita, this night I want you to remember always and forever" and then took her by the hand and sat on a bearskin rug as the fire crackled in the fireplace, they shared stawberries dipped in chocolate ,then a glass of champagne.
Stefan then looked at Lupita,and carressed her face and said "This is not a dream my love" and kissed her passionately,their lips parted,Lupita smiled ,her eyes sparkling with the reflection of the fire in the fireplace,stefan stood up ,took her hand and said "join me", Lupita took his hand and walked with him to the bed, Stefan then said "The night belongs to you, as you are a diamond that sparkles and lights up the heart of the world",They then kissed passionately as Stefan began to undo Lupita's blue dress and felt her smooth skin as the dress fell off her and onto the floor, Lupita took off Stefans tuxedo and shirt and undid his pants as their passion consumed them and they made love on the bed. Lupita moaned lightly "my love this night WE will never forget". as their love making became intesne. outside the club Rodrigo saw someone approach the limo, it was 1:59am he hit the detonator,Stefans limo exploded and the mysterious figure went with it,The club crowd heard the explosion, teh manager called the police and fire department. Rodrigo sped off and called Rocko.."Boss, its done and it went off without a hitch, I dont think you or Roberto will have any problems now." "Rocko smiled and said "EXCELLENT, return to base and take the rest of the night off".
Meanwhile,Stefan and Lupita in each others arms glowed with the results of a night of love and passion, they woke up and both smiled and kissed .."Good morning my love" Lupita said as she got up to take a shower, Stefan looked at Lupita as she walked to the shower, "It is more than a good morning when I am with you" and while she showered he got up to look at the ocean , unaware of what happened on the other side of the club. he then went to the bathoom and as Lupita showered ,he brushed his teeth and shaved,then he looked at the mirror and saw the angelic,sensual body of Lupita,and smiled as Lupita saw the muscular body of Stefan and smiled lustfully,she then squirted water on him , he looked and said "Lupita, you enchantress" and entered the shower with her and they were very passionate.
As they got out of the shower and put on some robes, they heard a knock , it was Maria and Rene' .."Did you see what happened last night?", Lupita looked at Stefan .."Uh not really, we were a bit buzy" , Maria and Rene realizing what they meant blushed "Even us.." Rene said. "A limo was blown up with someone in it", Stefan was concerned and dialed up charles in Stefans limo "Yes sir" said Charles, "Just checking, what happened Charles" charles said "Sir, I saw the whole thing, the limo that drove the telemundo stars here exploded and as I told the police someone was killed I dont know who was at the limo at the time..but oh man it was brutal"
Stefan said "charles, you get a raise and now help the police as best as you can"and hung up the phone, "lets see what the news has on it " and turned on the TV, Marian De La Fuente and Jose Diaz-Ballart were anchoring "HOY EN EL MUNDO" and were reporting on the tragedy, "The charred remains of Jacques ViRosa the bodyguard for reuputed ganster Roberto Charlando was found in the shell of a limo rented by Telemundo to escort our colleagues Ricky,Pita,Roberto,and Luisa to a night club performance.." just then the TV set exploded , it was Roberto Charlando back in Miami who through a brick at it, he called his partner in San Juan Rocko,"DAMNIT ROCKO!!, WHAT HAPPENED??" Roberto shouted angerly at Rocko on the phone, Rocko was trying to figure it out ,"Calm down..all has been taken care of" Rocko said as he tried to reassure Roberto. "BULL!!, I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD SCREW IT UP!!!, FIX IT NOW !!! and slammed the phone down. Roberto then hit the intercom "Herc, make sure our problem is taken care of" .."Old man, you day is coming VERY fast!"
