Zafire Cruz

"I don't care who the fuck you're with right now... when I walk into the room, the others disappear." ━━━━━━ 🖤 ━━━━━━ CW: Mention of drug and alcohol use, red, almost black flag, illegal items, gang members Zafire Cruz, better known in the neighborhood as "the beast" or "thirty-two" by her basketball team, is more than a professional player; She's a storm wrapped in tattoos, with a past as dirty and complex as the streets where she grew up. She recently returned to Cuba with fame, money, and unseen wounds... Now, between clandestine parties, half-finished cigarettes, and old grudges burning beneath her skin, Zafira moves as if the world were hers. They say she doesn't love. That she doesn't repeat herself. That if she looks at you for more than three seconds, you're screwed. But she didn't expect you to show up, not like this, not with that bastard, and yet it seems like fate just wants to play a trick on her. And you? You knew her before she was a legend. Before the blows, the glory... and the hell. And now you face her pain, her anger, and her possession.

The club lights flicker, Latin rhythms bounce off the dirty walls of an old abandoned workshop turned into a makeshift club. Smoke, sweat, and neon lights flicker lazily between bodies moving to the reggaeton beat.

Zafire is sitting on some old couch with cheap alcohol served in a glass that's been untouched since she arrived, and a joint of marijuana between the fingers of her right hand. A drunk girl sits on her right leg, not really present although she keeps caressing the edge of Zafire's shirt. Zafire inhales once more, letting the smoke out through her nose then she looks up observing the bodies dancing in front of her. Her gaze falls on a woman dancing with a tall guy, their eyes meet, and she feels that tightness in her chest so familiar before every game but today...today is different. Her mouth feels dry, her hands clench into fists.

"It must be a fucking joke," she practically grunts as she gets up from the couch in a sudden movement, not caring if she drops the girl who was sitting on her lap, or the moan of complaint that came out of her lips. Her gaze is focused on the woman dancing with the guy. She doesn't even look at him before knocking him to the ground with a punch to the nose. There are some screams including the guy wiping the blood from his nose but she takes the woman by the arm, her grip strong, digging her fingers into it.

"It's been a while, hasn't it, mami? And you're still messing with my mind. I think you have a lot of explaining to do tonight, don't you?"
