She grabbed her stuff and headed upstairs to her bedroom.
Lola took the bun out of her hair, kicked her shoes off and came out of her uniform. She laid across her bed thinking about Mauricio. Her fingers caressed her lips reminiscing about the kiss they shared. She was anxious to see him again.
For Lola, this was an occasion she had to look yummy for. And she knew just where to go to get her outfit. So, she called for reinforcement.
“Hey, Baby. Did you miss me?” asked Lola trying to sound sexy.
“Yes, Ho. I missed yo’ stank ass,” said a male voice over the phone.
“What are you doin’? Or who are you doin’?” she asked about to burst out laughing.
“I’m not doin’ anything, but you know I stay ready to do somebody,” said the same male voice.
“You’re crazy,” she said laughing.
The male voice on the phone was one of her best friends, Blair.
“Hey, I have to go to Milly’s. You down to go with me?” asked Lola.
“Hell yeah! Who is he this time?” asked Blair.
“I’ll tell you all about him when I see you. One hour?”
“I’ll be there. Don’t be late, Biatch.”
“Ok, Ho.”
Lola hung up and called her other best friend, Crystale.
“Hey girl,” said Lola when she answered.
“Hey. You’re back?”
“Yeah, but I gotta go to Milly’s. You comin’?”
“Yeah. Who is he?”
“Dang! You and Blair. I’ll tell you all about him when I see you. One hour?”
“Ok, but don’t be late, Lola. You’re ass is always late.”
“Ok . . . Ok.”
Chapter 3
About Lola
Lola Dominguez is an eccentric Cuban-American born in Miami. She is what Cubans would call “java” (pronounced “hava”). Java means not having white or black skin color.
It is a person who is mulatto with beautiful caramel-colored skin. She is what Southerners would call a “red bone”. And “javas” usually have light colored hair.
Aside from being a java with piercing green eyes, she has long and wavy, honey-colored hair, high cheekbones, full lips and a set of dimples. She stands 5’7” tall with a bad-ass body to match. She is 25 years old and an only child.
Lola is known to have many attributes. For starters, she is this feisty, Cuban girl with lots of personality, charm and sass. She is educated, smart and business savvy. She goes after what she wants with confidence. She is down to earth, outgoing and flirtatious. She loves salsa dancing, staying fit and having fun with her friends. However, she can be a little hot-tempered and she always says what’s on her mind. She always stands up for what she believes in. She also doesn’t care what people think about her.
Lola’s major weakness is men. She loves men and they love her back. The chase and the challenge excites her. Being the center of attention is always her goal. But, Lola is a woman who mostly loves sex.
Lola lives in the oldest part of Miami, an area called Coconut Grove. It’s known for being “a village within a city”. Its laid back environment mixed with upscale living makes it one of the most desirable places to live and visit.
Coconut Grove is Miami’s original art district and boasts waterfront communities that are unique to the city. Its streets are filled with outdoor cafes and chic restaurants. There’s great shopping that ranges from Bohemian boutiques and street vendors to high end, name brand stores. The nightlife is just as entertaining with jazz, salsa and reggae bars or the bass-pounding nightclubs. Many tycoons, artists and musicians reside in this neighborhood, which is nestled between Biscayne Bay and Highway U.S. One.
Lola lives alone in a Mediterranean styled, multileveled five-bedroom, seven-bathroom waterfront estate. This paradise sits on 1.8 acres of land and has just over 16,000 square feet of amenities, including banyan trees, coconut palm trees, lush gardens and a gated guard entrance. Tropical landscaped courtyards with statue water features create the perfect oasis to the entryway of the house. Etched glass designs create a luxury finish to the double front doors. The living room has a twenty-three foot high Cathedral ceiling with breathtaking views of the bay through its floor to ceiling wall of windows. Crystal chandeliers, Brazilian cherry wood flooring, custom lighting, a grand staircase, walls of French doors, four fireplaces, two wet bars and two elevators can be seen throughout the house. Her State-of-the-Art chef’s kitchen has a Tuscan theme with dark, rich woods, Italian marble countertops and flooring, stainless steel appliances and a huge eat-in area. The grand master suite has coffered ceilings, Spanish arches and columns and Italian flooring. The master bath is just as luxurious. And her custom made closet takes up over 2,300 square feet of space.
Other rooms in the house include a gym; billiards room and a twelve-seat theater with a top of the line surround sound system.
The backyard has a mega bar with plenty of seating, two party size terraces, a heated infinity pool with a waterfall spa and a huge second-level, cascading edge grill area.
This one-of-a-kind grill area includes a summer kitchen with immaculate marble countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances.
There’s also a pool house with outdoor showers, a yacht, six jet skis, plush gardens and a tennis court that converts into a basketball court. Her two live-in housekeepers and chef stay in the staff quarters in one wing of the house. And her six-car garage houses her custom pink Audi TTS roadster with suicide doors and pearl white Cadillac Escalade.
Needless to say, she wasn’t struggling financially.
Lola inherited her wealth from her mother’s estate. Natalie, Lola’s mother, passed away right after Lola graduated from high school and after she turned 18. But before Natalie died, she built an empire for herself with her baby girl as the driving force.
Natalie migrated from Cuba when she was a young girl. She always dreamt of being a model. However, just as her career began to take off, she fell in love and became pregnant. Her modeling career didn’t last long after that. So, she decided to do the next best thing: Natalie started a modeling agency. Once it grew to be one of the top agencies worldwide, she designed a lingerie line. Once that exploded, she ventured into her own cosmetics line. It also did extremely well. And she topped off her portfolio with a skin care and a perfume line with two women’s fragrances.
Natalie loved femininity, so that meant fashion, beauty, scents, sexiness and romance. She was obsessed with wanting women to look and feel their very best at all times. She worked hard for over 20 years to create products that displayed her passions.
Other passions Natalie had were dancing and eating. She loved to dance and taught Lola everything she knew.
