maria fernanda " mafe " jarammilo was born on devils night ( or at lease thats what her grandmother used to say ) , born two minutes earlier than her twin brother at 3:00 am on october 31st, in medellin colombia. she was the first girl out of five boys , everyone who laid eyes on her enamored with the prized jewel of the jaramillo family. her life was anything but normal , being much more privileged than most of the people that she encountered , at a young age she didn't know much about , what it meant to be a jaramillo. she was aware that her family was well respected , never having to wait for anything , being fed from a gold spoon ( literally ) and having anything that her heart desired.when camilo was born , it was like she had her own personal little doll to play with. she adored him , with every being in her soul, protected him from her fathers righteous ways and her older brothers bullying , at the youngest jaramillo. she never thought that she could love someone as much as her little brother but as the grew older , she realized that having the last name jaramillo , wasn't all it was cracked out to be. though as she got older, she learned what would happen if anyone disrespected , anyone with the last name jaramillo, DEATH was the only revenge.
she was about twelve , when her eldest brother and her twin decided to go to business . she was in charge of making sure that everything was ready for their return, though what she didn't expect was to only welcome one brother back , the other one was gone : killed by the mexican cartels orders. since that moment everything changed , her mother decided that she didn't want the same life for her younger kids , especially not for camilo. pepa and herself , already had a taste and even though , she could level with it , violence was pepa's own vice : something that he could not quite quit . so that was it , their life in colombia had ended and miami it was. her father had some connections down here, people who still valued and idolized their family name , as crazy as it sounded.
music helped her deal with her life , it helped her sort of go to a world where their was an escape. where her life seemed just a very bad nightmare. miami was ideal but it wasn't colombia. she missed the food , she missed the people . god , she missed her ocean. on her fifteenth birthday , her mother wanted to do this big party for her. everyone who was someone , was going to show up. they were out looking through some ideas on what she wanted but nothing seemed to stick out to her , so they had one last party planner to meet with. as they were making their way to the car , mafe had forgotten her phone and decided to go back for it. it all happened in a split second , the loud BOOM echoed around her , smoke filling up her hues , the sharp noise that echoed in her ears seemed to distract her from looking for her mother. it wasn't until she looked for her that she saw the car up in flames. by the time she wanted to run and check on her mother, people were holding her back and the rest was simply a blur.
a lot of things changed for the whole family, sunday dinners had become meetings and there wasn't much life in the household. pepa and mafe decided to try their luck in the city of dreams and luckily enough , both of them were known for something more than just the cartel family. their faces changed peoples perspective of them , the twins were doing what they did best and that was putting on a show , a damn good one at that. it wasn't long til mafe met someone , this one took her for a loop. she thought that love could save her, and after just a few months they decided to marry. she thought this could save her, this could heal her but as the day came, she ran ----- she ran and never looked back. leaving the man that could have loved her, could have given her a good life but deep down she didn't need anyone to take care of her , she would do that all by herself.
mafe has always gotten her way , sheโs done what she needs to do , just to make sure she remains where she wants to be in life and no one will get in her way of that โ so call it pride or vanity, but after the life that I've led, I refuse to drift off into the sunset. I was looking out for myself. I will always look out for myself. If you're smart, you'll do the same. โ she tells the other and flips barbie pink hair , over her shoulder going back to the gin in tonic entrapped in manicured ombrรฉ nails.
there were times that maria fernanda could get petty and maybe , even enjoyed the banter with talia a little too much but what she did not like was the media leeches with their cameras bringing down another women โโ- which was what was happening in this very moment. stacked with security , perusal . she walks beside talia as their ludicrous questions. โ you know , I hope you donโt kiss your mother with that mouth because I donโt even believe that you could hold a women . โ as she walks with the femme inside the building she turns to look at her โ this doesnโt change anything , I still think you are insufferable , I just believe in the whole " us girls have to stick together " or however it goes. โ
at the very start mafe believed that she only got the roles , that she got because of the weight her last name held but then it happened a lot more often and against some of the best A LIST celebrities , she was just good at pretending to be a whole different person . she had done it her whole life , never really been herself one hundred perfect. after the break had lasted a little longer than she had anticipated , she made her way back to set and sat down right next to alistair โ i'm a workaholic you know this already , plus I did have a small suggestion. โ she added with a small smile and her usual mischievous glint in chestnut hues โ is there anyway that you can ask the staff to not barge into my trailer every five seconds , you know I like my privacy, please and thank you , corazรณn . โ
open starter !
terrazzo (max's nightclub), late night.
โ "HEY, SO GLAD YOU CAN MAKE IT!" max greets the other with open arms, going in for a double cheek kiss. "you had somethin' to drink yet? come on, let me get you something, please, you look like you need it," he gushes, flushed from how warm the floor is as he guides his guest towards the bar, ordering a drink for them. he's launching his latest single, as he always likes to play them for the razz crowd hours before they hit streaming platforms; he's done this over a handful of times already and he still could never get used to how packed the place gets, though he wagers a lot of the attendees are only here for the free booze he gives out on such nights. he can't be offended, he'd probably do the same thing, too. "so, how are ya? what's new? i feel like i haven't seen in you in... wait, i didn't see you last week, did i? shit, i can't keep track of time anymore."
โ do you give everyone this lovely greeting or is just me or is it because Iโm your besties sister . โ how mafe had met max was simply due to his friendship with pepa and itโs not like she was complaining those green eyes could look at her as long as he pleased . a feigned expression taints her features as she placed her hand over her heart โ excuse me โโ- are you telling me that I donโt look smoking hot because then Iโd be very offended . โ barbie pink hair cascades down her back as she lets chestnut hues scan his features but then she coquettishly places her hand on his shoulders โ donโt worry bebe, it takes a lot more to offend me . โ she adds on and links her arm with his โ how about you show me your top shelf and then Iโll pick from my favorite . โ she adds on and begins to walk with him side by side as she makes her way to the booth that was partly secluded. thiago ( her head of security ) follows closely by - watching her like a hawk, doing his due diligence . โ believe me baby , if you saw me last week . Iโm sure you would have remembered , Iโve been told Iโm pretty memorable . โ she says with her usual devilish smirk tainted on her features โ but same old , same old . working on the album , doing dior's new campaign how about you ? โ
โ stop flirting with me , el . you know that I have no morals . โ she joked teasingly and she linked her arm with her long time co - star. โ honestly I thought it was just me here and I was literally about to leave thinking you wouldnโt show up . โ she says with a small smile tainted on her petals , she made a simple shrug to elnaraโs prose โ you know , filming on the new encanto film , working on the album with pepa. โ she makes a brief stop โ talking about my annoying twin , he will be here shortly . I know you said something about meeting him , just donโt get entranced by the whole charm , heโs full of shit and youโre better than that . โ
sheโs annoyed , itโs hot and her body feels sticky due to the outfit of that was not her choosing , she would have loved to wear something a little more revealing but she had to keep appearances , there had been kids at the park and she had to keep appearances . โ I think they would notice โโ- because lately Iโve been called off the handle , clearly I have to be perfect at all times , when half the time , I want to tell the cameras to fuck off and eat me . โ a sigh escapes her lips as she looks up towards the other male โ perdรณn ( Iโm sorry ) , Iโm just stressed and it was nice of you to invite me . do you ever think of how things wouldnโt have turned out if , just maybe you were raised by two different people ? โ
status: closed starter for @ghxostkisses
location: a coffee shop
Harry had been followed for the last block. He usually ignored the paps on his walks out in public but he just needed a cup of coffee. He didn't want his picture taken right now. With his best dodge moves, Harry managed to slip into a little shop without even one of those cameras catching him. He made a quick decision to take a seat with a woman. "Sorry to intrude here." He kept his head low and his line of sight away from the windows. "I need to find a place to hide for a second. I won't be long. There are a few assholes that are outside that I need to lose."
she doesnโt get a lot of free time with the immense amount of paparazzi that follow her every move , thankfully a close coffee shop that makes sure no one bugs her always makes her feel welcome and makes the best colombian coffee. sheโs not even sure of when the man sat before her but it was all so sudden , that thiago - her head of security approached the table rather fast . she puts her hand in the air , indicating that it was okay โ believe me , story of my life . โ she flashes him her usual baby girl smile , and sips on the coffee before her โ well, if you wanna waste some more time , how about you let me buy you some coffee ? โ
where the jaramillo twins are concerned, it's not unlike her to barge in completely uninvited. actually, one might argue that it's not unlike luciana to barge in uninvited regardless of the who and the where, but that's beside the point. โ well. that's a shame, โ she tuts, clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth. โ i was hoping to catch him in an indecent state. โ the brunette plops down on the couch, brow furrowing as her gaze settles on maria fernanda. she's not impressed by the lack of attention she's receiving โโ something she's generally not in favor of, but even more so when it's the songstress that's paying her no mind. still, she chooses to focus on the femme's remaining prose. โ you think i'm distracting ? โ she brings a hand to her chest as if to say she's touched by the confession. โ aww, but i'm not even showing any cleavage ! โ pulling her feet up, she crosses her legs and gets comfortable, wasting no time as she makes herself feel at home even if, by all accounts, she is basically just intruding on the other's time. โ so, is someone in trouble ? โ she asks with a curious tilt of her head. her words alluding to the conversation she'd only caught the tail end of, but she knows her companion well enough to hazard a guess.
โ sorry to be bearer of bad news , well ------ NOT REALLY but heโs out with some model chick , who has her head shoved way too far up his ass . โ mafe wasnโt one to pick to pieces her brothers girlfriends , she knew her place and she made sure that so did they . luciana had been part of the jaramillo clan for as long as she could remember , their had been a time that maria fernanda had this hatred for luciana, wondering why she could be as close to pepa and mafe wasn't but then she realized that there was no bond stronger than what her and pepa had . โ it shouldnโt be that hard โโ- โ she analyzes her choice of words and shakes her head โ and by that , I mean that tmz is just having a blast of him flashing his junk at the paparazzi in barbados . โ the annoyed look on her features is quite evident , due to the furrowed brows and the tight flatline of her brims. โ I think that you are being a nuisance as of this moment , actually . โ she responds &. not in the best mood exactly due to everything. โ trouble ? โ she inquired with a tilted side of her head &. quirk of her right brow , she takes a momentary pause and then realizes what sheโs referring to โ pepa being pepa and my mouth getting me into the same trouble but what do you need ? โ
she's looking through the plethora of pictures being taken and she coquettishly places her , long manicured pink ombre fingernails on his shoulder as she leans in and looks at the stills that had been taken in the last two hours โ wow &. this is why , you have always been my favorite . ย โ she sends a flirtatious wink his way and takes a seat in the chair that had her name embroidered in pink โ so , tell me how much you missed me , because no one out here is as good as you . ย โ
the usual red carpet pictures , several photographers screaming her name , left and right and it doesn't annoy her anymore . IF ANYTHING she eats all up , the attention : she craves it . as the session of flashes if over , she makes her way inside the building, a smirk reaches her features , tainting cherry petals โ my corazon ( my heart ) , how have you been ? ย โ
maria fernanda has never been someone who watches what she says , she's never had to hide the whole filter facade . not until hollywood tried to put out that fire that was MAFE JARAMILLO . she's getting the usual lecture from her publicist on how she needs to filter her words when THE MEDIA speaks ill will of her twin. in her defense she can't help it . pepa is her other half and whoever messes with her twin MESSES WITH HER . โย pepa isn't here ------- โ she comments without even looking up from the script in her hand. โย the last thing that i need is to have LUCIANA LABAKI as a distraction . โ
