Date Night... Andy and I always try to out do the other on our weekly dates. This week was my turn. We always get a bit competitive on trying to out do the other. I have been looking forward to this week after last week's date came to an end. I decided to really think outside the box and let Andy in to see a part of me he, or anyone for that matter, has ever seen.
"See you tonight. Can't wait for our date." Andy says as we close up for the day. I smile a sort of mischievous smile and reply back," Neither can I!"
Andy arrives at my condo and lets himself in. Usually he has a little time to wait, but I am so eager for tonight to get started I just about met him at the elevator. "Ready? I'll drive tonight." I say not wanting to give him any hint of what I have up my sleeve. "Uh. Ok. Yeah. Sure." Andy replies.
We arrive at El Floridita. I can already feel Andy's stunned look. We almost always go for Italian or American food. Today we are really going outside the box, Cuban food. We get the car parked and walk hand in hand inside the restaurant. Maggie greets us at the door, "Hola Sharon! How are you? Oohhhhh is this the handsome man you've mentioned in conversations?" I blush and respond,"Hi Maggie. Yes, yes this is Andy. Andy, this is my friend Maggie." Maggie then shows us to our table and leaves. "You are full of surprises. Cuban restaurant? You? Hmmm" Andy teases. I can't help but smile big. If he only knew what else is planned for this evening. Boy is he in for a surprise.
Dinner is finished and we are sharing a dessert. I excuse myself to the ladies room as soon as I notice the lights dim a little and then then the music soon begins. Just something about salsa music and dancing that is so freeing. So liberating. So much story telling is told by these movements.
Adán comes to my side and asks if I'm ready. I shake my head up and down, a little nervous, but so excited to see Andy's face. We are up. Adán briskly walks me out to the stage and I forget about any nerves that may have been there. I just start moving. Adán moves me as close to Andy as possible and I grab Andy's hand and pull him into me and I just dance. I let the music go through me and let it do the talking, moving my hips from side to side, feeling all of Andy start to melt into me and matching my every move. The rest of the night goes like this.
We arrive back at my condo and Andy walks me to my door. He still seems a bit in shock but has had a giddy smile across his face since he saw me dancing. "What?!" I giggle and ask as Andy just stares and smiles at me. "You just surprised me. A very good surprise. Who knew you had moves like that hidden under that Darth Raydor cover." He says. I playfully smack his chest and respond "I am no prude, Andy" as I pull him into my condo. He isn't going anywhere tonight.
