95 DEGREES — ARMANDO ARETAS x BLACK! Reader [Summer Randoms]
A/N: because y’all have been showing love on my first drop and I’ve been thinking about little moments with him since!!! *sings* I’m sprungggg! This was also Inspired by Rihanna acting accordingly on insta to this song towards A$AP 🤭
SYNOPSIS: you’re a content creator who’s on livestream during your vacation with your man. it’s summer time, you’re fine and think it’s cool to act up so Armando reminds you just exactly who he is.
WARNINGS: language, mentions of a character from: power ghost ;) just for a side of messiness, mentions of being in the itty bitty titty community, a little steamy moment somewhere, & me possibly or most likely butchering some Spanish!
<- read my previous anthology piece here.
𓇼 〰〰〰〰〰 𓇼 𓇼 〰〰〰〰〰 𓇼 𓇼
This Cuban heat made you feel like you were in hell to be honest. That’s why you alternated between jumping in the pool and lounging on the pool chairs but you can only do that for so long. Not according to Armando though, he had no issue catching a nap or three right underneath the sun but not without you spraying him down. You didn’t play with the sun and neither did that little sun spot that always appeared like the shape of an orange on your right shoulder every summer.
He started to doze off just by you rubbing the sunscreen into his glowing skin and the longer you stared at him, looking like that, you decided to leave him be before diving into your monthly read. After forty-five minutes of doing that you checked on Armando and got to snacking on the spread of fruit while enjoying some peach Bellini’s on the side.
This vacation was deeply needed so you understood how exhausted Armando tended to be, considering that he barely slept. When you weren’t around it took hearing your voice across the phone to help him find slumber. Now? Far away from Miami (by boat at least) and Mexico City, he had no problem catching a few Z’s knowing that you were not far from him.
So you being you, you had to entertain yourself by going to the side of the pool setting up your tripod and phone. You thought about sitting along the trimming but knew it would be too damn hot, so you moved up ahead to the patio to grab one of the bistro chairs from the checkered outdoor table.
Logging onto Instagram live, you patiently waited for some viewers to show up, greeting a few users that you interacted with before, a few internet friends, and others that also sent their greetings in. It’s easy work for you, chatting and seeing what everyone is up to. You answered a few questions about your channel, with the main one being: if there’s been any vlogging going on after revealing you’re on vacation but not where.
~ ctej01: i see armando don’t know what to do wit all that. No way you’re on vacation looking good af n bored. ijs ~
Which set the comments off after that messaged appeared. Of course your ex, Cane Tejada had to be in your live and in your business.
“Don’t you have some other hoes to fuck around with instead of worrying about how much I’m thriving with my man? You must miss me so bad. You’re so used to screwing things up that you don’t even know what the good life looks like, boy bye.” You clapped back, being aware that you should never give this cheater this much attention but you had a little time.
However you knew better than to go back and forth with Cane. He was good at getting a rise out of you and always wanted the last say.
And he could have that because once you said your peace, you started to pay him dust ignoring his laughing emojis and whatever else he decided to throw into the comments. You ended up only talking to the people that mattered and supported you, not some dude who only cared about getting off with other women who can never give him love past the physical. He didn’t respect you so you didn’t have to respect him. That relationship’s been dead for a solid year, maybe even close to two—if you kept track—and here comes this man always lurking. It only amplified once it was revealed that you were no longer in the streets.
Deciding that it was too quiet at the villa you minimized your live to head over to your fav music app, shuffling a random hot girl summer playlist and went back to your live. Scrapping the chair back after you heard that heavy Memphis accent, you already knew you were about to get in your zone regardless of who tried to ruin it.
“It’s 7pm, Friday. Happy Friday y’all!” You grinned after holding up your pointer and thumb.
You fanned yourself with a sway of your hips, “it’s 95 degrees, hoo!”
Unbeknownst to you, Armando had woken up from his third or fifth nap and had sat up looking for you after spotting your sarong abandoned on the chair next to him. It didn’t take him long to find you on your phone, telling no other than your obsessive ex off. There was no doubt in Armando’s mind that you could handle yourself but he was growing tired of that New York native’s game. Armando can only imagine how you felt, it was petty stuff at first—Cane was three years younger anyway so no shock there, leaving comments online like a punk before he even took it further to start leaving voicemails almost threatening that he would come out to Miami.
Armando of course didn’t take that lightly since a lot of his time was now dedicated to AMMO and he always prioritized your safety, doing his own research to find out exactly the kind of guy Cane Tejada is. The dark web provided everything Armando needed (he still had his own style whether the team liked it or not) and it’s not like Cane scared him or anything, it’s the fact that he thought he could continue to be disrespectful even with the relationship being tossed in the dumpster where it belonged.
Armando had plans for him but he just wanted to enjoy his vacation with you first.
“I ain’t got no ni—and no ni—ain’t got me!” You pounded on your chest, fixing the strap to your bikini afterwards just in case of spillage—although you were part of the itty bitty but still they were reserved goods.
You swiftly turned to the side for the next line, which Armando admired just how nice it sat even from a profile view, arms folded as you ran a hand along the side of the shape of your ass, “I’m bout to show my ass—
And with that, you watched in horror as your phone was smacked right across the trimming of the stone pool. The device skidded from your tripod before plunking right into the pool water. Your mouth dropped in shock as you slowly glanced over your shoulder just to feel Armando right behind you.
His husky and straight forward voice hit your ears as he said, “Hope that’s waterproof.”
Sucking your teeth, you turn to the man who meets your eyes, “excuse you?!”
He shrugs his shoulders, biting into a plum as he slowly scans his eyes over your melanin that contrasts over the yellow and green floral set you had on, “what?” He chewed, “Something wrong?”
“Not you trying to rain on my parade to be turnt up with my n-ggas and my bitches.” You placed your hands on your hips in annoyance.
Armando blinks, “you could do that without showing your ass to Cane.”
You tilted your head to the side at this.
Armando was hardly the jealous type, he didn’t care much for anyone having their eyes on you because they should admire you but it was once they started being vocal or even trying to touch you that he had a problem with. Your ex was sitting behind a screen and Armando knew that if Cane really wanted to—if he wasn’t too caught up in his mommy’s business, he could pull up.
And Armando had something for his ass.
“I don’t give a shit about him.”
You’ve done everything by kicking him out of the life and blocking him along with future accounts but with a guy like him? He always found ways around any blockage.
“I know.” Armando kept his usual leveled tone as he held your stare while you molded your lips into your mouth, scratching at your second protective style for the season in confusion.
Clasping your hands together you exhaled, “then what the hell was that?”
Armando finished his plum, licking at his fingers and then his lips before he sat the remains on a table near by. When he turns back to you, he makes a show of getting up close and personal. Lightly gripping your forearms, the pad of his fingertips gently running over your famous sunspot, he flicks his eyes to yours.
“A what don’t got you?” He questioned.
Oh here we go.
You try not to roll your eyes but you’re oh so tempted, “it’s a song and it’s summer! Let me live.”
“And you can do that but not screaming that with your whole chest to viewers.” Armando debates.
Scoffing your reply, “I didn’t see you complaining so much when we were crip walking to ‘not like us,’ the first day we got here.”
Armando pauses, “…that was different.”
“How?”
He doesn’t want to argue, so his hands just slide down to the sides of your ass. With his right hand his pats one side demanding, “jump.”
“No.”
Armando raises his brows and huffs, “okay.” And takes it upon himself to bend and lift you right over his shoulder.
Yelping you quickly find something on his frame to hold onto as he starts walking, “Arman!” You scream just as he jumps into the pool with you in his arms.
When you both resurface, you flick water right at Arman who is smirking while floating towards you. “I told you to jump but since you want to be difficult, i did the honors.”
“Of what? Getting on my nerves?” You start swimming towards one of the edges where’s there’s seating and Armando doesn’t hesitate to follow you.
He snakes a hand across your waist, turning you to face him. His eyes scan all over your face, a faint dimple still playing on one side of his cheek as he soaks in your annoyance. Gently he’s pushing you elsewhere from the seating of the pool and to the wall.
Armando pressed his forehead against yours, “i thought you wanted to play since you were just doing that on Instagram. So how about i give you something to play with?”
“What—
His lips are smashed right to yours, his facial hair tickling against your chin. His kisses burn against your lips as he moves with speed, hands on your hips and your body doesn’t need to fight against your brain to understand what’s happening. Your legs wrap against his hips and your chest to chest with the possibility of your necklaces getting tangled but there’s no one else the both of you wanted to be close to in this moment.
Your nails are scratching along the shortened hair at the back but he knows you’ll be gripping the top once he’s inside. Normally his kisses are soft yet tender while his hands are rough and calculated but right now? Everything is scorching from the weather to simply Armando’s body heat. His ego doesn’t want to give you time to breathe but out of the decency of his heart he does yet that’s no relief because his fingers are at work now.
“Damn mami, I don’t even have to warm you up do I?” He quizzes with a glance downwards.
The pool wall is scratching against your back, the curling of his pointer and the pressing of his thumb that’s just a little higher is dirty work and he knows it. You don’t have time for his shit talking because you’re yanking him by the neck to shut him right up. He matches your speed with no hesitation tasting sweet like plums and mint, your tongues doing just the perfect dance against the Cuban heat. He grunts when you catch him off guard, getting your own feel in his swim trunks.
He pulls back with a pop of your lips, his own movements faltering for a second as you only caress but even that is just right. He pulls his fingers away and place them right at your lips, silently commanding what to do. And so you do, tongue running along the length before sucking, holding Armando’s dilated stare while gripping harder.
“Sweeter than plums, huh?” He asks, his other hand cupping the side of your face.
You hum, ready to slip a hand inside but his smacks your hand away from his waistband. He does the honors of pulling his trunks down just enough and once he gets his other hand back from your lips, his hands are hot on your hips as he lifts you up higher before pushing your own suit to the side to settle right where he belongs.
The moans that echoes through the both of your lips is music to your ears. Armando always gives it time, still in amazement of how you were made to feel around him. He’s panting as he brings his attention back to you but your eyes are closed, also trying to savor him.
“Eyes on me, mami.” He tells you lightly tapping the side of your jaw, “you good?”
You nod before your eyes open to meet his and you match his smirk or freak or whatever. And when he begins to move against you, stretching you so nicely, you have no choice but to bite down on his shoulder (to not scare the birds of course!) so you can recreate a similar spot on your own.
Half lidded you’re lounging on the bed in a robe, your eyes widen as knees knock against the side of the mattress. You lean back against your hand, peering up at Armando that’s softly grinning down at you. He holds out your chipped phone to you and says, “I got you and apparently…you got me too.”
He moves the material to peek at the teeth marks at the top of his own shoulder.
“Shut up,” you croak while Armando laughs bending down to place a chaste kiss to your brow before he crawls over to the back of you.
He loops a hand around you, pulling you right to his chest in a matching robe, letting you get your rest this time.
After at least two minutes passed you awake with a snore, making Armando crane his neck to look at down at you. You snuggle against his chest and whisper, “can you order some garlic parm nugs for later?”
Armando chest jumps with light laughter as he squeezes your shoulder, “yeah baby, whatever you want. It’ll be here when you wake up.”
“Kay,” you sigh, “l love you.”
Armando quirks up a small smile as he gently rubs your back soothingly, “Te quiero con todo mi corazón.”

Shanghai walks - my guide to the Paris of the East.
Few weeks ago I wrote this mini Shanghai guide for my CEO as he was spending a week in the city.
You can access to all the links recommended links here.
Hi Ije, Shanghai is one of the most interesting city I’ve had the chance to discover. The ever changing city fabric can leave you dizzy, a urban vertigo combining history and future perspectives of the World.Your five senses will be challenged (often in an unpleasant way), however if you look a little deeper, walk a little further, you might discover mini treasures which will change your perspective on this city and China. Best way for me to discover is to get lost, so rather than give you an itinerary, I’d rather giving you multiple starting points across neighbourhood and you will see where you get to!
Don’t be afraid to walk into courtyards and compounds, with a big smile a simple “Ni Hao” and “Xie Xie” you can go further.
PEOPLE’S SQUARE Tomorrow square, that’s where you’re staying. Make sure you visit the top floor, they should have a good brunch there with an amazing view on the city Centre. On your way to the park you will notice an elegant 1930’s building with a Big Ben like clock on top, it is the former Shanghai Race Club’s clubhouse. People’s Park next door used to be a horse racing track. Symbol of the city’s decadence for the Communist power it was turned into a public garden. They used to have a nice rooftop restaurant in there so might be worth checking out. It is actually worth visiting People’s Park 人民公园 next door, you might see old men playing Mah Jong, Parents speed dating to find a good match for their kids or other public dance and martial arts. The Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Arts or MOCA is also worth a visit At the end of the Park you will reach Nanjing Lu (road) one of the busiest shopping street in Shanghai.
If you feel like it you call walk all the way down to the Bund or WaiTan 外滩 in Chinese, Shanghai famous boardwalk by the Huangpu river.
THE BUND 外滩 Here you can admire the past glory of the city (HSBC history building, Americans hotels) and the future as you look across the river with Pudong and the financial district of Lujiazui. Here I recommend to visit The Peninsula Shanghai hotel, one the most exquisite comeback. Their founder Sir Ellis Kadhouri, an Iraki Jewish immigrant who had to leave the city during the Japanese occupation. 60 years later he came back to build this contemporary art deco master piece. This is one of my flagship projects in Shanghai. The hotel has a grand lobby with traditional high tea, a pretty little Spa and a great Chinese restaurant. You can also visit Salon de Ning bar in the basement You may ask to visit the aviation lounge and platform as well as there are quite a few good stories to discover. Behind The Peninsula there is a strip of 1930’s heritage building dating back from the American occupation. Try to get to visit some of them like the Lyceum Building – it is full of history and I’ve worked with the Rockefeller group to renovate them as well as the RockBund Art Museum. The former Union church is also really cute next to this street. If you cross the Waibandu bridge you will discover 2 hotel from the 30’s that haven’t changed much: Broadway Mansions and the Astor House 上海浦江饭店 – take a sneak peak in the Astor House to get a taste of The Pearl of the East. Now you’re really close to the Hyatt on the Bund 上海外灘茂悅大酒店 – it is the perfect spot to admire the view overlooking the Bund and Pudong. Go to the rooftop bar – ideally at dusk. Going back to the Bund you should also visit the Peace hotel 和平饭店北楼 and its old Jazz lounge 费尔蒙和平酒店爵士吧.You have a good selection of restaurant and lounge bars on the Bund, here is a list of favourite if you want to spend the evening in the area: Mr and Ms Bund: contemporary fine dining Bar Rouge: expats trap with a view N˚6 on the Bund: secretive lounge bar and great Japanese restaurant Sun with Aqua N˚3 on the Bund: M on the Bund restaurant, lounge with a view Mercado, POP and Nougatine restaurant next door. Huang Pu Hui: Chinese restaurant
PUDONG Not much history here, just an ever growing forest of skyscrapers built on a swamp. Tallest is the Shanghai Tower, built to overtake the Japanese Mori Building, build to overtake the Jin Mao tower and its 88 stories. If you fancy, take a look on the top floor of one of the towers – mind boggling!
YU GARDEN 豫园 To get a taste of Chinese imperial era, you can visit the touristic Yu Garden, it is quite busy yet a good flavour of Ming Dynasty pavilions, ponds and arch bridges and it is a good starting point to get lost in the old Chinese town (Dafeng Road, Sipai Road, Guang Qi Road). No recommendations here, just follow your flow and get lost in the meander.
FORMER FRENCH CONCESSION Good to start at Xintiandi 上海新天地南里, so you can see what a worker’s Shikumen style brick house quarter looks like. This one has been fully renovated into an up-scale shopping centre. You can find good Cantonese Dim Sum restaurants here like Crystal Jade.
Then head to Fuxing Park – here you’re are entering the former French Concession and all of the mid-century mystery – Think of Lust Caution when you when in the alleys. Here you can visit the former residence of Sun Yat-sen the great Chinese revolutionary.
Go down the beautiful Sinan Road where you will pass by old Mansions – that are being renovated. Towards the end of Sinan Road you can reach another worker’s district called Tianzifang 田子坊 with a totally different flavour from Xintiandi, here local residents mix with artists and little cafés . Going down on Jianguo Road you will reach Bugaoli Lane or Cité Bourgogne 步高里, a perfect example of Shikumen houses preserved in their 1930’s style, 500 families live in the little cité. Right in front of it you’ve got a great hand pulled noodle Lanzhou style noodle restaurant.
That’s already a good start! I can recommend the following Chinese restaurant if you want to try some real Chinese food:
Lost Heaven refined Yunnan Folk Cuisine Southern Barbarian Yunnan cuisine rough on the edges Sichuan citizen Sichuan spicy food Guyi Hunan Mao favourite’s food from Hunan – spicy as well Crystal Jade good Dim Sum
If you like Jazz, make sure you get a drink at the Cottons Club and you can always get a good hot pot at Hot Pot King next door for a late night meal. Have fun and keep walking!
