The more I learn about judaism the more I wonder where tf christianity got all its bad shit. Why is divorce a sin in christianity when judaism has recognized the right to divorce for nearly a millennia and has codified religious laws for it. Why does christianity consider sex to be dirty (to the point where puritans considered it a sin to enjoy having sex with your own spouse) when in judaism it's considered holy and it's a literal mitzvah to have sex with your spouse on the sabbath. Why does christianity consider it a sign that you're faithless if you question your religion when in judaism that's considered an essential part to developing your faith. I'm probably stating the obvious here but I still can't get over the fact that there's no historical basis to any of this shit before christianity started, it's like christians just said "hey guys what if we took the torah and built a new religion around it but this time it was actively hostile to human life"

It's a dream, right?

Mamacita

Author's Note: This is an old fic that I recently shelved. I might come back to it, but I figured I could post it here so you can enjoy it.

Plot: You are a loyal shopper at Edy's Bodega, but not because you like his merchandise. No, it's because you like him. And you like teasing him and flirting with him too, which he begins to notice. However, this particular day he beats you at your own game and you end up agreeing to a date with him at your place over a traditional Puerto Rican meal.

Disclaimer: Edy isn't married in this fic and doesn't have children. He's still a flirt and likes to date younger women. Reader is in her late 20s, Edy is in his late 40s, early 50s in this fic.

SFW, Flirting, Mild Touching, Teasing

---

His eyes were on you as soon as you walked into his Bodega. His focus angled right at your hips as you purposely twisted them in his line of sight.

You knew he was looking closely at your curves, imagining all the things he could do to your body, so you didn't mind giving him a show.

It was nothing new between you two. Ever since you became a regular at Edy's Bodega, it was always the same thing.

You picked up a couple of items, teased Edy for looking a little too hard at you, then you left him with a kiss you blew his way.

But today you wanted to switch things up. Today, you wanted to give him a show and be a bit more flirtatious.

You just felt emboldened to do so after he stopped dating another young lady, Juanita.

She was such a bitch and you hated seeing him kissing all over her and lovingly stroking her silky curls. It drove you insane.

But you would always notice him still stealing a glance from you and still watching your every move.

It was like he got off on teasing you, but this time you were gonna be the one teasing.

Purposely, you bent down to get a small bag of yellow rice, poking your ass out as much as you could.

But alas, he didn't see you.

He was too busy talking to someone trying to buy a lotto ticket.

You cursed to yourself, but slowly stood back up. Your breasts jiggled a bit in the process, which he did notice.

You saw him smirking your way and seductively licking his lip as he counted the money he just received.

You smirked to yourself before you went over to the canned foods aisle to pick up a can of pigeon peas.

You were not familiar with pigeon peas, but you still picked them up because you were planning on trying to invite him to your home for dinner.

Tina, your favorite cashier at the Bodega, was fully aware of your little cat and mouse game with Edy so she immediately told you his favorite foods.

That being jibarito, arroz con gandules, and for dessert (other than you possibly), caramel flan.

You didn't know the first thing about Puerto Rican cuisine, but that didn't mean that you weren't gonna try to impress him any way.

However, your plan to stay both seductive and cool basically failed when you made some other cans fall off the shelf.

You cursed at yourself for doing that before you looked up and saw Tina trying to come over to help you.

But before she could, Edy told her that he had it. She smirked and looked over at you before she told Edy that's fine and went back to her cash register.

You gulped nervously seeing him confidently walk over to you.

So much for you teasing him today because he was driving you insane with his overpowering aura.

And his beautiful brown eyes never left yours, even when he purposely brushed your hand to pick up the same can you were trying to put back.

Your heart started to race when you realized how close he was to you.

Your eyes moved over to his groomed salt-and-pepper beard as you resisted the urge to kiss his plump lips right then and there.

But instead looked at his gorgeous, soft locks, wishing you could run your fingers through it like Juanita used to do.

"You need to be more careful, mamacita," he softly said. "I don't want you to hurt yourself...especially that beautiful face of yours."

You felt like you were gonna burst at his comment and little pet name for you, but instead you just replied,

"It's actually Diana."

"Huh?"

"Diana. My name is Diana."

"Oh, like the princess?"

"Yes, that's who I was named after."

"Hmm, fitting name. Although, you are prettier than she," he said with a flirty wink.

You blushed, but put your head down so he couldn't see. He did see though and just smirked at you again.

But then he noticed what the cans that you knocked over were. He held one of the last cans on the floor and cocked his thick eyebrow at you before asking,

"Pigeon peas, huh? You don't seem like the type to like these."

"I'm willing to try new things," you immediately said before you noticed him also look over to your basket.

"Yellow rice," he observed. "If I didn't know any better, I assume you're trying to make arroz con granules."

"Nothing gets passed you, Edy," you teased. "Yeah, I wanted to learn how to make Puerto Rican food. I figured that and jiberitos would be a good start."

"Jiberitos too?" he asked puzzled as he put the can back, still looking at you. "Wow, you are a woman with good taste."

"Edy, stop it," Tina said.

"Stop what, Tina? Aren't we just having some playful banter?"

"Playful banter," she mockingly said with an eye roll. "Edy, isn't it obvious?"

"What's obvious?" he asked with a cheeky smirk.

"Diana probably wants to make dinner for you. You don't find it odd that she's purposely trying to cook food you like."

"How did you know I liked jiberitos and arroz con granules?" he curiously asked you, his eyes staring right into your soul.

"I asked Tina," you nonchalantly said. "I figured I could cheer you up after your breakup with Juanita."

"Cheer me up?" he asked with a chuckle. "I broke up with her. Because I didn't like her as much as I like you."

"Wait, so you admit you like me?"

"I always have," he confidently admitted. "Although I'm sure you knew that. I can never take my eyes off of you."

"I just needed to hear that from you. I thought you were just a tease," you lied.

He chuckled.

"So, when are you planning on inviting me to dinner?"

"Tomorrow night. 7 if you're able."

"Hmm, I don't know. I'm a busy man. I mean being the most sought out bachelor in Chicago keeps..."

"He doesn't have anything going on," Tina quickly said. "Trust me, he's been waiting for a while to shoot his shot with you. He'll be there."

"Tina, must you always butt into my flirting?"

"Yeah, because I have to keep you grounded. You're not the gift to all ladies like you think you are," she huffed with a dramatic eye roll.

"Whatever," he responded before he looked back at you with a slick smile and a twinkle in his eye.

"I'll be there."

"Great," you cheered a little too enthusiastically. You suddenly felt embarrassed until you felt his big hand rubbing your back to comfort you.

"I love your enthusiasm," he suddenly said. "It's as gorgeous as your body and that lovely smile of yours."

"Oh, thanks," you said gushing on the inside. He chuckled again.

"Would you like my help finding the other ingredients?"

"For the jiberitos?"

"Yes," he said, his delightful accent even deeper than before.

"Sure, I wouldn't mind the help...or the company," you seductively said.

Edy swiftly took that open opportunity and began to help you find everything else you needed to get for your dinner tomorrow. And while he was helping you, he started to get a little nostalgic and told you about the history of the Bodega.

"You know who used to make the best jiberitos?" he suddenly asked.

"Who?"

"My papá. Back when I was just a wee boy, my father was known for his jiberitos. He used to hand make them and sell them at the Bodega with my Uncle Julio."

"Wow, do you know how to make it like him?"

"I mean yes, but not as good," he joked with a hardy laugh. "Edy Sr. just had the magic touch when it came to cooking. I'm a decent cook, but I could never match the skills of my papá."

"Hmm, maybe you can help me make the jiberitos and we could see."

"I like that idea," he said cheekily, purposely brushing his big hand against your smaller hand.

You giggled.

"So you grew up helping around the store?"

"Yep, it was me and my younger sister, Julia. She was named after my uncle, if you couldn't tell," he said with a slight laugh. "We used to run around the store and play too and the customers loved us. They thought we were so cute."

"I bet," you cooed before you smiled at him.

"I enjoyed working at the Bodega so much that my papá handed me the keys when I was twenty or so. I didn't really know what else to do with my life, so I took the store. He still helped around of course, this store was his life. He actually died in his old rocking chair behind the lotto counter."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be. It wasn't your fault," he assured you. "I actually didn't realize he died. He was always so quiet when he slept. Tina was the one that actually realized he was dead."

"Wow, so I guess Tina's worked here for a while."

"She started working here because we were dating. We were high school sweethearts at one time...engaged even."

"I would have never guessed you two were an item."

"He wasn't much to write home about," Tina scoffed as you both walked over to Edy's counter. She was filing her nails at her checkout counter, popping her bubblegum loudly.

"I always wonder why you're still single," Edy remarked.

"Hahahaha," she retorted. "You were always so funny."

"She wasn't always snippy like that with me," he whispered to you. "I mean why do you think she's still here?"

"I heard that, Eduardo," she sneered. "And I'm only still here because I want to stay here."

"It's because I pay you well. Just admit it."

"I'd rather choke on Clamato juice," she huffed.

You just giggled. It wasn't the first time you had heard them go back and forth like that.

They really did act like an old married couple.

"Alright, your total for today is $20.45, Mamacita. Will that be cash or credit?"

"You know I always pay credit," you said with a laugh as you retrieved your card from your purse and handed it to him.

"I still like to ask," he said as he swiped your card. "I want to make sure I'm ready if you switch it up on me."

"I probably will never do that. It's just more convenient to have a card."

"I couldn't agree more," he said before he handed you back your card with a big smile on his face. The receipt printed out after and he handed that to you as well but made sure to kiss your hand, making you blush.

"Thank you, Edy," you said with a big smile.

"No, no," he started before he moved from behind the counter. "Thank you, Mamacita. I can't wait to make jiberitos with you."

Your heart beat so hard in your chest when you saw how happy he was while he was saying that. And you really were swept away in your joy when he tightly hugged you afterwards.

He smelled of mint and mango, two contrasting scents that he managed to pull off. His heart was beating just as fast as yours and he felt so plush and warm.

You had to stop yourself from touching him. It was too soon and Tina was still standing near yall.

"See you tomorrow night," he seductively whispered in your ear before his lips met your blushed cheek.

"Yes...umm...see you tomorrow night," you stuttered, reluctantly removing yourself from his hug.

You both just smiled at each other again, until a couple minutes later. Then you left him with a blown away kiss and a wink.

And as you walked back to your apartment, all you could think about was him and what he was gonna do you to you tomorrow.

Because you were more than ready to get to know him on a more physical level.
