Biography
Being a part of a big latino family in America isn’t something anyone would call easy but Lupe always knew how to make herself heard.
She had her first filibuster at nine when, at her prima Catalina’s birthday party, they separated boys and girls to do different things. Boys went out to play fútbol and girls stayed in to paint their nails and have a little spa day. What if she wanted to play fútbol instead of getting her stupid nails painted?
Okay, she didn’t think doing her nails was stupid nor did she really want to play fútbol. But she knew her best friend Sam would have been much happier outside stealing the ball from the boys than bored to death and trying to stay still while tia Cuca was trying to apply some glitter to her small nails. And Lupe would do anything for Sam so there she was being dragged away by the ear by her abuela and being told that, “No es de buena educación hacer un escándalo cuando estás invitada a una fiesta en casa ajena, Penelope, compórtate como una señorita.” (It’s not polite to make a scene at someone else’s party, Penelope. You have to behave like a lady)
She never did learn the lesson and spent her life trying to be polite but well behaved women rarely make history, right?
After college, she went to work on a small local magazine in the city tourism department, not her dream but it was far from the worst and it paid the bills. She had a steady boyfriend, an apartment and her best friend. Everything was going great for PJ. Except, an ex colleague kept telling her she was better than the small magazine she was working on and that he had a place for her in a better publication in NYC.
But her life was fine in Huston. She didn’t need that.
Then what is she doing in her brother’s bar in Manhattan with a suitcase?

@ghostsxagain said -> i believe i promised you a kiss
Àngel Alvarez was absolutely one of the last people on the planet that Lalo Maldonado should've gotten mixed up with. Their lives were totally different, and Lupe was pissed when she found out about the younger man's relative celebrity status. Still, Lalo wasn't the type of person to deny himself his baser wants and needs, and something in his veins called out for Àngel. Until he was turned away, he was going to keep chasing it.
Sitting in some hotel in Venice, Lalo was trying to behave. Àngel had been out all morning, leaving the cartel member to his own devices -- which could be a dangerous game, but Lalo knew nothing about Italy and had been warned by Lupe to lay low. He didn't want to travel the city without his lover, anyway.
When Àngel walked in, Lalo pushed himself up from the seat and walked over. Even after weeks in the other's presence, it still tickled him immensely how much shorter Àngel was, and the statement won a smile from the older, taller man. "Yeah, you sure did... you gonna keep it?" He asked, not making it any easier for Àngel, not making himself any smaller. "You may need to climb me."
