Irony free, my favourite character introduction in recent memory is of the bandit Vasquez in "The Magnificent Seven" remake: Sitting in wait near a dark cabin, with a pair of corpses he made, he lassos the first person to come in (showing how alert he was and he'd already seen them coming) and has the upper hand, then we get that fabulous, ice cold Denzel performance where he tells him that if he carries a gun that means he intends to use it, so Vasquez doesn't shoot him, he's willing to talk to the guy. He's a bit horny and rapey towards our heroine Emma Cullen, in the lasso, but willing to talk, willing to listen, and you don't quite know if he's lying or not when he says that the Texas Ranger he shot "Had it coming". It makes you wonder if he killed these guys in the cabin, or if they too had it coming, and we get my absolute favourite exchange: Vasquez: "And after our business is done, what then?" Chisolm: "There'll still be a lot of men after you." Vasquez: "A comforting thought." Chisolm: "It is: I won't be one of them."
What a baller exchange. It's so good I paraphrased it for my own terrible screenplay.
Just a sleazy bandit with a heart of brass, who over the course of the film just is himself. I liked that he lived, it was a nice twist.

chapter four | masterlist | chapter six
The USS Theodore Roosevelt docks mid morning, and everyone aboard is eager to sleep in a proper bed tonight. You’d take the XL Twin sized beds over sleeping on an aircraft carrier any day, especially if there’s a Rooster Bradshaw in one with you. You’ve been so preoccupied with Rooster post-mission, having stayed the entire night with him. You’d fallen asleep with him in the hospital bed and, despite protocol, the medics onboard didn’t have the heart to ask you to leave. 
It’s not until you return to your sleeping quarters to pack up your things while everyone else is at breakfast that you come up for air. You’ve been totally wrapped up in your own world post-mission, that it’s almost time to offboard. After packing up your things, you meet Rooster, recently released from the carrier’s infirmary. 
“You ready?” he asks, a smile on his face as soon as he sees you. 
“I’m ready,” you agree, taking his hand in yours. 
As the two of you walk down the ramp, the familiar faces and bright shine of the San Diego sun make you realize that you really have been in your own world with Rooster – one where only you and he exist. You spot Coyote walking down the ramp with Halo, but what you see next catches you off guard. It’s Hangman and Phoenix walking together in stride. You tug on Rooster’s arm, since you’re not too far behind them, signaling to him that you want to get closer. 
They’re not arguing… they’re not killing each other. 
They’re… civil. Nice, almost. 
And was that a smile? Did Phoenix just… smile at something the blonde had said?!
“Oh my god!” you blurt out. The gasp escaping your lips causes both Hangman and Phoenix to turn around to look at you. The rest of the crew that are also in process of offboard walk around the four of you, shooting disgruntled looks as you block the walkway. 
“Sorry,” Rooster mutters to a passerby, before motioning for the four of you to at least step to the side. 
You look from Hangman to Phoenix, and suddenly, you can’t stop laughing. 
An innocent bystander would have no idea, but you know the both of them like the back of your hand. 
And it’s written all over their faces. 
“Oh my god!” you repeat yourself, your voice higher pitched as your jaw practically drops onto the ramp. “You guys totally did it!”
Rooster snorts, thinking that this must be a joke. But when you continue laughing, when neither Hangman nor Phoenix fire back with some snarky remark or exclamation of denial, Rooster thinks you might be right. 
“Wait, what?!” he exclaims, looking from you, then to Jake and Natasha. “Seriously?!”
“Whiskey,” Jake groans, shaking his head. He exchanges glances with Phoenix before continuing with, “I swear to God, she's like a truffle pig but for hookups.”
His smartass comment only confirms your suspicions, and Nat is turning bright red, unable to make eye contact with you right now. Rooster’s jaw practically drops as you squeal with delight, ready to brag about your special skill. 
“It’s a talent,” you shrug, proudly. “That's how I knew all through the Naval Academy that Jake was a wh-.”
“Hoooooookay. You’re done Whiskey,” Jake cuts you off, practically dragging you away from Rooster’s grasp along with him so that he can give you a talkin’ to about what’s appropriate to say when. 
Rooster laughs again, watching as you and Jake bicker like siblings, before turning his attention over to Phoenix. 
“You wanna talk about it?” he asks, doubtful that she’ll say yes.
“Nope,” she answers, popping the ‘p’ sound at the end of the word. 
“Fair enough,” Rooster accepts with a nod. 
“What I do want to talk about…. is you two,” Nat redirects, nodding her head towards where you and Jake have moved to. “Don’t think I didn’t notice she never came back to her bunk last night.”
The way that Rooster smiles is all she needs to know, and she considers this a huge win, exchanging a look with her best friend. 
“That good, huh?” she smirks, raising an eyebrow. 
“No! We haven’t even-, you know,” Bradley blushes, suddenly shy. 
“Damn. You really are ready to settle down, huh?” Nat responds, as she reads his expression. 
Rooster nods, returning his attention back to you again. He watches you playfully punch Jake in the chest, causing him to double over. 
“She’s great, Nat. She’s… I don’t know. She’s really fucking great,” he sighs, completely and totally infatuated with you. 
By the time Rooster and Phoenix catch up with you and Jake, you and Jake have finished your conversation – one where you mostly congratulated him and told him that she was the best he’d ever get so he better not fuck up. 
“Breakfast, anyone?” Nat asks, her eyes moving from you to Rooster. 
“Not you,” she adds, by the time her eyes make it to Jake. 
He rolls his eyes at her comment, but inside, he loves the fire she has within her. 
“Uh… yeah. Give me a second?” you request, shooting Rooster a look. 
“Yeah, we’ll give you guys a second,” Nat says, practically tugging Jake along with her. 
You watch as they go, a few strides ahead of you and Rooster so you can talk. 
“So… that’s kind of wild,” Rooster mentions, in reference to Nat and Jake. 
“Yes and also sort of… not surprising?” you suggest, earning a quizzical look from Rooster. 
Instead of continuing the conversation about Nat and Jake, you’d much rather talk about what could happen when you get back to the barracks. You take a beat, ready to shift the conversation.
“You wanna get out here? I could… tell Nat no.  Skip breakfast…. We could catch up to Hangman and Phoenix… considering they beat us to the punch?” you propose, raising an eyebrow. 
Normally, you’d never cancel on a friend for a guy, but after two weeks and a near-deadly mission, the sexual tension between the two of you is palpable. 
“As tempting as that offer sounds, I gotta go to the medical center on base for a second check up. Make sure I get a clean bill of health on land too,” Rooster replies, unable to hide how disappointed he is that he has to do this first. 
“Ugh, leave it to me to get cockblocked by the US Navy… again,” you groan, eliciting a laugh from Rooster. “You want me to go with you? 
“No it’s okay. Go to breakfast with Nat,” he says, nodding his head towards her and Jake.  
You smirk, “You just want the hot gossip don’t you, Badshaw?”
“Fuck yeah. And you better send me live updates,” he begs, earning a laugh from you too.  
You reach out, placing a gentle kiss on his lips, before Rooster’s wrapping an arm around your shoulders and you’re heading back to the barracks. Nat’s already got a place picked out that she texts you with a message suggesting you invite Halo too. After changing into your civvies, you and Nat decide to head out together to the beachside diner only a few blocks from the Hard Deck. 
Hangman: So I make you cum twice and still don’t get invited to breakfast? What’s a guy gotta do?
Phoenix: Try for three next time and I might consider extending the invitation.
Hangman: So you're saying there’s a next time? ;)
Natasha rolls her eyes at the last text, putting her phone away as the waitress approaches your table with the drip coffees you’ve just ordered. You both mutter a quick, polite thank you before taking them, fixing your coffee just the way you like it. 
“Halo didn’t want to come?” Nat asks, curiously.  
“Said she’s FaceTiming with her girlfriend but will join us in a little bit when she’s done,” you answer. “But it’s good because it gives us time to catch up! You can’t keep me waiting like this and don’t even think you’re getting away with not telling me everything.”
“Everything?” she asks, raising an eyebrow. 
“Okay, maybe not… everything,” you reply with a chuckle. “But enough is enough! Spill, bitch. What the hell happened between you and Hangman on that carrier?!”
She sighs, “I-, I have no fucking idea.” Taking a drink from her coffee mug, she leans back, cradling the hot cup of coffee in her hands as she racks her brain for any kind of explanation. “Maybe it was the high of the mission… or something… but we were both looking for you… and then we ran into each other. And… I don’t know. I was going to take a shower and he wouldn’t move out of my way… and then one thing led to another and suddenly we’re fucking in on the bathroom sink!”
“Oh my god!” you squeal, covering your mouth with your hand as you do. 
“I mean… it’s Hangman. I-, I think it was just a heat of the moment thing. Nothing serious,” she says, brushing it off as if there’s no possible way it could be anything more than that. 
“So… just a one time thing?” you ask, eyeing her curiously. You’re trying your best to get a read on her, but you’re not sure if she even knows how she feels about it. 
“Well. Technically a two time thing if you count the shower after,” she smirks, taking another sip of her coffee. 
“Natasha!” you gasp, a devilish smile on her face. 
“So… do you think it’s going to happen again? Do you want it to happen again?” you gush, excitedly. 
“I-,” she starts, before letting out a big sigh. “I don’t know.” You watch as she places her coffee mug down on the table, her eyes fixed to the ceramic mug. “Does that make sense?”
“Definitely,” you empathize with her, considering you’d probably find yourself confused in that situation too. “It’s Jake. I-. Definitely.”
“Let’s go dancing tonight,” she changes the subject, not wanting to talk more about Hagman. “What was that place we went to last time we’re in San Diego? Tango Del Rey? I know Rooster’s dying to see how you move.”
“Oh my god,” you groan with a playful eye roll. 
“But yes!” you agree. “Dancing sounds great. See if the rest of the Dagger Squad want to come with. Maybe end the night at the Hard Deck?” 
“Yeah,” Natasha replies. 
“Hi! Sorry I’m late,” Callie interrupts, as soon as she enters the diner in search of both you and Nat. “Unlike the two of you, I have a civilian partner that doesn’t understand half of what we do, and just needs to hear that I’m okay at the end of every mission. 
“The two of us?” Nat asks, thrown by what Halo has said. 
“Yeah, because you and Hangman are together, right?” she asks Phoenix, and you almost spit out your coffee. 
There’s such a genuine innocence in how she asks the question that you know she’s not trying to fuck with either of you. 
Nat’s face blushes a few shades darker while you try your best to get your coffee down without any of it coming out of your nose. You wait for your fit of laughter to pass before swallowing, giving you the freedom to now laugh out loud. 
“What? Did I say something wrong?” Halo asks looking from you to Nat, then back to you again. 
“No, Halo. No, you said everything right,” you manage to get out, as your laughter continues to grow. 
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to assume. I just thought you guys were together. I mean… he stayed with you overnight in the hospital after the bird strike and he’s so clearly into you,” she apologizes, explaining why she had come to the conclusion in the first place. 
Nat is glaring at you as you continue to laugh, like she hates the fact that you’re not the only one who sees this thing between the two of them. 
“Callie, you have nothing to apologize for,” you reassure her. You shoot Nat a glance, knowing that you’re stirring the pot as you continue with, “And you’d only have been wrong if you’d said something twenty four hours ago.”
“Whiskey!” Phoenix exclaims, shooting daggers at you for airing her dirty laundry. 
You snicker, on a power trip from the sweet, sweet feeling of being right. 
Natasha shakes her head, eager to change the subject. She stops paying attention to you, putting all of her attention on Halo as she says:
“Hey, Callie. What do you think about going dancing tonight? Think the Dagger Squad would be up for it?” she proposes, signifying that she’s done with this conversation about her and Jake. 
“I love dancing! Sounds like a great way to celebrate,” Callie agrees, eagerly. 
As the waitress comes back around, the three of you order stacks of pancakes and plates of eggs, potatoes, and bacon, decompressing in the beachside diner. It’s nice to take a breath, now that the mission is over – now that you have a whole week off, due to the mission being moved up. It’s not till the end of breakfast that you realize your heart and your belly are both now full. 
Your phone buzzes, signaling that you have a new text, unable to hide the smile on your face as you realize it’s from Rooster. 
“Uh oh. I know that look,” Nat teases, instantly knowing who it’s from. Halo’s eyes light up, catching on as well. 
“Ask him if he wants to go dancing!” Halo encourages, as you open up your phone to read the texts. 
Rooster: Looks like we got the greenlight. 
You: For all activities? ;)
Bradley: Yes ma’am. Anything in particular you have in mind?
You: How does dancing sound?
Bradley: … Dancing?
Tumblr media
And that’s how Rooster Bradshaw ends up here, spinning someone’s abuela in a circle as the salsa band plays on. While most of the other aviators have found a dance partner in each other, or another attendee at the club, Bradley has, of course, found himself taken under the wings a group of older ladies made up of abuelas and tias who are teaching him how to salsa properly. 
You giggle, unable to take your eyes off of him, even though you’re technically dancing with Jake. You find it incredibly endearing that he’s managed to find himself adopted by the regulars – all of which continue to make comments like que guapo about him, his mustache and his printed shirts. 
Rooster’s eyes meet yours from across the room, practically beaming in your direction as the ladies cheer him on for mastering the three step dance. You smile back, grinning ear to ear. 
You cannot wait to get him alone tonight, but salsa is a social dance, so the stolen glances, the smiles from across the room, and all the sexy build up will have to do for now. 
Jake picks up on the fact that your attention is elsewhere, and he wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t have something smart to say about it. 
“You’re not even paying attention to me,” Jake complains, twirling you around the dance floor as best as he can. 
“Awwww… who knew you were such a softie, Hangman?” you tease him, followed by a loud “ow!” when Jake steps on your feet… again. 
“Well, that’s what you get, kid,” he fires back, grumpily.  
“I’m trying to help you here, Seresin! But you’re not letting me,” you point out, an annoyed tone in your voice as you try to teach him the steps. “If you’d learn to follow for once, damn it!”
“I’m just saying… think these guys need to come down to Texas… we can show ‘em how it’s really done,” Jake grumbles, as you try to coach him into being better at this. 
“Hate to break it to you, bud, but two steppin’ isn’t nearly as sexy as salsa,” you point out. “And you can’t always just do things you’re good at, y’know?”
“Who says?” Jake asks, playfully. 
“Oh my god,” you groan, rolling your eyes at your best friend’s comment. 
Jake steals a glance in Nat’s direction. He knows you’re only trying to help – only trying to give him a little bit of a head start considering Natasha seems to be a pro at this. You know enough to get by, but Nat grew up competitive ballroom dancing, and she’s practically dancing circles around every single person in the dancehall. Turns out, Coyote is an incredible salsa dancer as well, the two of them taking the dance floor by storm like they’re a part of the competition team. They glide, spin, and shake their hips to the music in ways that you can’t even imagine, captivating anyone and everyone that watches. 
At the end of each song, Coyote and Phoenix have switched partners, sometimes dancing together for a few more songs, and other times sharing their gifts with other people here on the dance floor. It’s usually how it goes at these kinds of things. 
The song ends and Jake releases you. You can see that the band has finished their set, switching over to a DJ. Of course, in a place like this, the transitions are smooth, going right from the band to the stereo system seamlessly. You’re practically shoving Jake in Nat’s direction, partnering up with Fanboy before Jake can chicken out. He stands behind her, watching her thank her last dance partner, a man who seems to be on the competition team here at Tango Del Rey. 
Natasha Trace wears a white floral dress, with a long slit up the front, exposing her long legs – the ones he had his mouth on just yesterday. Her hair, softly curled, falls just above her shoulders, and her hair is parted, pinned back on only one side makes her look like an old Hollywood movie star. 
“Phoenix. What do you say we have that dance now?” Jake drawls, his voice causing her to turn around. 
“I should warn you,” she parrots, mimicking his language on the carrier as she takes a few steps forward in her heels. “I'm an incredible dancer.”
“I’ve noticed,” he replies, the corner of his lips curling into a crooked smile. 
“You think you’re ready for me, Bagman?” she challenges, holding her hand out to him. 
“Only one way to find out,” he smirks, grabbing her hand and pulling her in close. 
As the song begins, the DJ set starting off strong with a Bad Bunny hit, Nat finds herself surprised that Jake does pretty well for himself, leading her in the three step salsa. The way his hands feel against her feel like they’re burning her skin in the most delicious of ways. She feels him lift their conjoined hands so that he can spin her around, smiling as he does. She knows this one – listens to the lyrics as they move together, taking note of how appropriate the feel:
“It's just for a little while / Mami, don't get used to it / Because love can be so beautiful / But there's always somеthing that interrupts it.”
Because what the hell were they doing anyways? And how could Hangman of all people make her feel this way? And there was no possible way that this wasn’t just temporary. Was she even willing to take the risk on him?
Instead of saying something, overthinking it, fucking this up before it could even begin, Nat decides that tonight, she’ll just dance with him. 
Across the room, as the song ends, you thank Fanboy (also an incredible dancer), before going to find Bradley. You can’t hide the grin on your face as you see him thanking the ladies that seem to have taken him under their wing. 
“Ladies, I hope you don’t mind,” you begin, nodding towards Bradley.  
“Are you the girlfriend? La novia? He’s been talking about you all night,” one of the women exclaims, gleefully. 
“Not yet, Daniela. But I’m working on it,” Bradley replies, following his words up with a playful, ‘shhh!’ 
You giggle, “You wanna dance, Bradshaw?” 
You offer out your hand, and he takes it, earning cheers and smiles from Bradley’s new friends. You can’t take your eyes off of his chocolate brown ones as you lead him across the dance floor. You feel one of Bradley’s hands slide against your low back, pulling you in closer to him as you begin to move to the music. 
“Looks like you made some new friends,” you say, batting your eyes at him. 
“And you’re gonna thank me later because I learned a lot,” he replies, earning a flirtatious giggle from you. 
“This your thing? You make new friends everywhere you go?” you continue to banter with him. 
“Guilty,” he admits, a light blush running across his cheeks. “The supermarket. The gas station…” 
“Oh God, I bet you were popular in high school too,” you groan, jokingly.  
As he spins you around, taking you into his arms, you’re all smiles. You move your hips in perfect time with his. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest with every step – and it’s not the few beers you’ve already had. You’ve been waiting for this moment all night – not that dancing with the rest of the aviators hasn’t been fun – but you have to admit that Bradley Bradshaw makes your heart flutter. 
After a few songs spent in Bradley’s arms, he slows you down, leaning close, his lips just grazing the top of your ear lobe. You can feel both of his large hands on the small of your back, pulling you into him a little closer. 
“I know we just got started here but… what do you say we get out of here?” he whispers in your ear, the raspiness of his voice sending chills down your spine.
“What’d you have in mind?” you ask, unable to find the smile that spreads across your lips. 
“Maybe… one more drink at the Hard Deck… then how about we go back to my room?”
“Please,” you practically beg him, nodding along as encouragement. . 
And in that moment, you don’t care that everyone is watching, that you and Bradley have yet to begin, you kiss him right then and there in the middle of the dance floor. Your passionate lip lock earns a few looks from other dancers, and you can hear a few of the other aviators point it out with a few whoops, hollers, and catcalls in response. As you pull away from the kiss, his face still cradled in your hands, you ask him:
“Cool if I go find Jake and Nat? Say goodbye?”
“Totally. But I’d be careful if I were you. They were practically fucking on the dance floor a minute ago,” he replies with a groan. 
“Gross,” you scoff, even though you could care less. 
But you don’t find Jake with Nat, spotting her on the dance floor doing all kinds of tricks with Coyote again. You wonder where Jake went, pushing through a crowd of people before you spot him upstairs. You hurry up the flight of stairs that leads to the balcony, finding him perched there, leaning up against the railing and nursing a Lonestar. 
“Hey! Rooster said you and Nat were practically fucking on the dance floor. Anything I should know?” you comment, as you approach the blonde. 
He smirks, taking another drink of his tallboy. 
“So you and Rooster, huh?” Jake asks back so that he doesn’t have to answer your question.
And because, of course his best friend would fall for fuckin’ Bradshaw. 
“Yeah, me and Rooster,” you answer, truthfully, sliding into the space next to him. “We’re actually going to head out. That’s why I was looking for you. Didn’t want to go without saying goodbye.”
Jake searches your face. There’s nothing but genuine admiration and honesty, and it’s given you a glow. He can see how happy you are, and he’s not going to rain on your parade just because he and the guy have some kind of unspoken rivalry. Playfully, he bumps his shoulder against you, earning a giggle from you. You return the shoulder bump before returning to your previous question. 
You watch Jake, following his gaze out over the dancehall. Nat’s finally taken a break, crowded around the bar as Bob tells some wild story to her, Fanboy, and Payback. It’s so freaking obvious that it’s painful: he can’t take his eyes off of Natasha Trace. 
“You should tell her how you feel,” you chime in, bumping his shoulder with yours again 
Jake shoots you a glance from the side – the kind that says, ‘what the hell are you talking about?’
“You forget that I’ve known you since you were twenty, Seresin. And I've spent the last two weeks watching you pine after her,” you point out. 
“I do not pine!” he protests. 
“Yes you do!” you push back. 
He waits a few beats, thinking it over, weighing his options. 
“What if… she’s not into it?” he finally asks, dragging out each word like they’re heavy on his lips. 
“Why don’t you go find out?” you encourage. You give his shoulder a friendly squeeze before turning to go. 
“Be safe, kid!” Jake calls after you. 
“Thanks, Dad,” you scowl, your feet hitting the top of the stairs as you do. 
Jake enjoys the view and his beer on the balcony for a little longer, taking a few moments to himself. The DJ set is about halfway through, and he notices that the aviators, previously crowded around the bar, seem to have returned to the dance floor. 
It’s now or never, Seresin, he thinks to himself. 
He’s practically working himself up as his feet carry himself down the stairs and back onto the dance floor. He’s surprised to find Phoenix without a partner, just moving to the music as the song playing ends. He watches as her face changes, her lips curling into a smile as the new song begins. She throws her head back with a laugh, her eyes settling on Jake as he stands there in front of her. 
“This one’s not a salsa. Think you can keep up, Bagman?” she asks, holding her hand out, beckoning for him to join her. 
“Can’t be that difficult,” he says, looking around the room. 
“It won’t be. As long as you let me lead,” she fires back. 
“Ha!” he lets out an arrogant laugh, as he takes her hand. 
“You let me lead, and I’ll make you look really good,” she replies, almost as if it’s a challenge. 
“Deal,” Jake agrees. 
“So it’s kinda like salsa: three steps left, then three right,” she coaches him, lowering her voice so that she’s practically purring in his ear. Nat wraps an arm around his waist, pulling him close into her. The edges of their faces are pressed together, and Jake mimicks her, sliding an arm around her waist too.
“Only bachata…” she says, beginning to walk in a circle. She steps forward, so that they’re practically chest to chest, keeping the rhythm with her feet as she adjusts their positioning. “... is danced from here.”
Jake gulps, realizing that she’s practically straddling one of his legs, her forehead now pressed against his. He lets her lead, watching as she moves around him from this fucking close: a sway of her hips in perfect time, a circle with her shoulders till she’s body rolling against the front of him, and then they’re taking three steps right, and three steps left. 
“Jeez, Tash…” he groans, earning a wicked smile from her. 
He’s not sure where that came from. He’s never called her that before. But then again, they’d never let the tension between them go this far. 
There’s no way this is actually the dance. She’s totally fucking with me. Testing my patience, right? Jake thinks to himself, feeling his pants becoming a little bit tighter as she moves against him. 
But Jake looks around the room, shocked to see everyone on the dance floor moving this sensually too. Hell, she’s practically riding his thigh in front of everyone and he’s just letting her. 
“The hell’d you learn how to dance like this?” he asks, biting back a moan. 
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” she smirks cockily. 
She holds up an arm for him to spin, creating distance so they both can. When she returns to Jake, this time, she presses her back against him, swaying her hips against his in perfect time. 
It’s pure fucking torture. 
“I-, I would,” he mumbles into her ear, ever sarcastic bone in his body giving way to the growing erection he’s got in his pants. 
She chuckles, spinning herself out, then back into his arms in their original position. 
“That’s not the question you should be asking, Bagman,” she says, glancing down at his zipper. 
He’s trying his best to focus on the steps – and not stepping on her feet – but his concentration is getting incredibly blurry with how she’s moving against him. With how close she is. With how fucking hot he finds this. As they move, three steps right, three steps left, his hands begin traveling lower, pressing her against him from her low back, from the top of her ass, and Natasha Trace knows exactly what she’s doing. 
“Fuck,” Jake groans, feeling as she rolls against him, the song beginning to end. He’s frozen in a moment in time and he can’t let go of her – not yet. 
“Can I take you home?” he finally asks. 
“I thought you’d never ask,” she replies, dragging her arm across his chest as she begins to walk in a circle behind him. Once she reaches his back, she pulls him in close, leaning in to whisper:
“Meet me in the car in five.”

El desconocido origen Español de los Cawboys Americanos
Pocas imágenes se consideran más genuinamente «americanas» que la de John Wayne a lomos de un cuadrúpedo recorriendo las llanuras del Oeste. Sin embargo, incluso esa estampa popularizada gracias a Hollywood procede de la honda huella que los españoles dejaron en Estados Unidos a lo largo de más de 300 años. Los cowboys proceden de «los jinetes de las marismas del Guadalquivir», que al establecerse al otro lado del Atlántico trasladaron también su modo de vida, explica el divulgador madrileño Borja Cardelus.
Para el director de The Hispanic Council, Daniel Ureña, la historia de ese país «no puede entenderse sin la aportación de España», por lo que «es importante la tarea de divulgar el papel de España en el origen de Estados Unidos».
El desconocimiento en la propia España da lugar a sorprendentes paradojas. Cardelús recuerda que leyó en un periódico local en Almonte, el corazón de las marismas, que los jinetes de la zona «se manejan al estilo americano», ignorando que en realidad es al revés, que fueron los vaqueros de los westerns quienes adoptaron el estilo marismeño.
Según resalta el autor entre otras obras de «La huella de España y de la cultura hispana en los Estados Unidos», «La Florida española» y «El legado español en los parques nacionales de los Estados Unidos», «en las películas del Oeste no hay nada que no sea español», desde el caballo a las reses, pasando por los rodeos y los arreos. Incluso los pueblos «imitan al Rocío», señala. Y no solo se trata de los cowboys de Estados Unidos, ya que lo mismo se podría decir de los gauchos de la Pampa o los llaneros de Venezuela y Colombia.
Lo que sucede, explicó Borja Cardelús, es que España no ha realizado la misma labor de márketing que Estados Unidos, que «ha importado» el estilo de vida, «lo ha plasmado en el cine y lo ha exportado como un producto americano».
Cardelús también destacó el tratamiento que los españoles dieron a los nativos de Norteamérica, poniendo como ejemplo que al oeste del Misisipi, «hay comunidades cada vez más prósperas». A su juicio, «si hay tribus indias en Estados Unidos es gracias a España» y, en concreto, se refirió al papel de las numerosas misiones que se extendieron por aquellos territorios. Ciudades como San Francisco y San Diego en California o San Antonio en Texas tienen su origen en antiguas misiones españoles, recordó.Fuente ABC Manuel Trillo.
