Does Benjamin Bratt Speak Spanish Novels & Stories

I had barely taken three steps when— “Maya.” “Urgh, you don’t just quit, do you? “What?” “How many times was I supposed to call you?” “I don’t care! And I already told you, I didn’t take your calls because I didn’t want to speak to you”. What don’t you understand? I spoke English, not Spanish. “You didn’t answer,” he continued, slower now, like he was choosing the words as he said them, “but you had time to stand outside laughing with someone else.”

He already heard her clearly: "Ey, Katy, this is where it goes down. I think this is where the noise came from, ”said a young man's voice. He spoke English almost fluently, but a slight Spanish accent betrayed his true origins. Damn it, so close. Why hadn't he been able to control himself earlier? In anger, he gritted his teeth at his own stupidity. But it had happened and nothing could be changed.

I said confidently. Nothing. The massive iron gates didn’t budge. “It’s not working… why isn’t it working?” I muttered, frustration creeping into my voice. He folded his arms, still staring at me with that unreadable intensity. “In Spanish,” he said finally. I blinked. “What?” “Say the password again,” he repeated slowly, his voice low, commanding. “In Spanish.”

A little makeup for blending, and even I could not recognize the reflection staring back at me. Next, I rehearsed a few lines in Spanish in front of the mirror. When I wasn’t pleased with it, I cleared my throat and tried again in a different voice until at last, I was satisfied. With one last look in the mirror, I exited the back bedroom of the plane and rejoined my brothers. Baine gave a low whistle. “Wow, you’re getting good at this, son,” alex said. “Give them hell, Tom,” Ben said. I crinkled my forehead and frowned. “Perdon, me llamo Juan Mendoza,” I said flawlessly.

“I wouldn’t know if you were. I’ve just heard you talking to a client or two in Spanish and you seem like you do really well. Oh - and I do, distinctly remember a very drunk, very blustery, Spanish yelling-match with Julia.” He laughed. “First of all, I don't do 'really well.' I'm the Spanish equivalent of a two year-old - with a speech impediment. The 'r' doesn't want to roll." He walked back to stand next to her, leaning against the counter. "As to the argument with Julia, I threw her every curse word I knew, which wasn’t much.” “That was kind of the best part,” Ardal said, glancing over at him, “Because that’s when you switched to Mandarin and Arabic.”

I do not think I had ever had this sort of genuine smile in such a long time. "I do a lot" I replied with glee spreading across my features. "Ah te queda perfecto" the middle aged female seller smiled at both of us broadly. I did not understand a word she said but I guess Braden must have as he gave her a thumbs up. "Se ve hermosa verdad?" Braden chuckled in his rich Spanish accent. Oh Lord. How the hell did this man learn Spanish so good? It rolls out of his mouth like his mother's tongue.

I hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of what to say to Ignacio. I hadn't spoken to him in weeks, not since after the wedding party with Cullen. "Hey.." I said, trying to sound casual. "Brielle, mi amor, how are you?" he asked in his thick Spanish accent. "I'm fine," I said, avoiding the question. "Seems like business ain't moving too busy today huh?" "Ofcourse it is, I just wanted to hear your voice," he said, his tone softening. "I miss you, Brielle. When are you coming back to Spain?"

That was me. “Disculpe, señorita. ¿Necesita ayuda con el equipaje?” I spun around to see an older Spaniard smiling slyly. Ratty denim shirt, worn-out black trousers, missing a tooth. My paranoia went up several notches. “Tu hablas inglés?” I asked, flipping through my Spanish guide. “Sorry, chica. I speak English, bags. Need help?” “No, gracias,” I said, clutching my luggage like it contained my soul. No way was I letting anyone steal it.

But there was no response. Their conversation was confusing yet, I struggled to make sense of it, thinking it would give me an idea of what was about to happen to me. I listened more but instead, I heard the thuds of footsteps and another deep masculine voice spoke, but this time in Spanish. A wave of disappointment crashed over me as I couldn’t understand the conversation anymore, with the men equally responding in Spanish. “Está despierta?” “No, pero te sugiero que la sedes para facilitar el transporte,”

“I’m afraid that’s my cue.” “Cue?” she repeated. “Don’t worry, Lily.” His tone was velvet, but the words left her colder. “We’ll speak again.” Then, without waiting for her reply,she watched as he slipped away into the crowd moving toward the front. The man on stage began speaking in Spanish all of a sudden which only made her puzzled. She knew the obvious that Christian was British so why in heaven were they speaking Spanish. And even worse, she watched as both Christian and the crowd paid close attention to every word.
