I do not own any of the characters from Dirty Dancing.
I only own the storyline and the characters I made up in this story.
Hope you'll enjoy the story and leave me a review anytime you want.
Thank you!
There was a lot of stumbling and Johnny saw a middle-aged man, with glasses, and also looking Spanish, coming from the room. He looks at Johnny and pushed his glasses down for a bit.
"Hello, I'm Juan Alvarez. Maria is my wife. Welcome to the club boy." Juan said and shook hands with Johnny, Johnny smiled at him.
"Johnny Castle sir." Johnny said.
"Polite even, that's good. Some politeness would be good in here. Just watch your bum with these 2." Juan said with a teasing smiled.
The 2 women rolled their eyes, Johnny was already liking it.
"Are you Spanish?" Johnny asked curiously.
"Yeah, we come from Barcelona. We immigrated about 3 years ago and have this school ever since." Juan said with a smile.
"He's smart papi." Maria said and she walked to the dance-floor.
"I'm not that smart." Johnny said, he was feeling a bit more comfortable.
Juan laughed and patted on Johnny's shoulder, he walked back to the back room and Johnny chuckled a bit. Jenny was still observing Johnny. Johnny looked back at how Maria is teaching.
"You want to show me what you are capable off?" Maria asked as she looked at Johnny now.
"Sure." Johnny said as he took his jacket off.
Jenny bit her lip when she saw his muscled arms. Johnny laid his jacket on a chair. The couples looked curious at Johnny.
"What dance are you doing?" Johnny asked.
"The cha-cha, this is the beginners groups." Maria said as she smiled.
"Alright." Johnny said and walked to the couples.
Maria crossed her arms as she watch how Johnny went to explain how to hold the frame.
"Music please." Johnny said.
Maria walked to the record player and turned it on. Johnny started to count and the couples did the basic steps. He went to explain and correct. The couples nodded and smiled as they started again. Jenny walked to Maria and stood next to her, Maria looks at her.
"He's amazing, isn't he?" Jenny whispered with a smile.
"Yeah, he has learned them the things I've been trying for an hour now. And he is what?" Maria asked.
"3 minutes now." Jenny said.
"He's a natural, but I need to give it time and see after a while." Maria said. The music changed.
"You reckon he is taken?" Jenny asked curiously.
"Jenny." Maria said warningly.
"Look at those arms Maria. And that bum." Jenny whispered.
Maria shook her head and walked to the record player. She turned it off and Johnny stopped. He looked at Maria, he was enjoying it. He was already missing this.
"Lesson's over people. It's lunch time." Maria said.
"Thanks Maria." One of the men from the couples said with a smile.
"He's good Maria, is he a new instructor?" The wife of the man asked.
"Yes, this is Johnny. He officially starts on Monday." Maria said with a smile.
The couples thanked Johnny as well and they went away. Maria looked at Johnny now.
"You're a natural, it's a rare gift. Looking forward to Monday." Maria said with a smile. Johnny had put his hands in his pockets and smiled at Maria.
"Looking forward too. What time do I start?" Johnny asked.
"Normally you take Susan's lessons over. She always starts at 4 in the afternoon and her last lesson is at 10 in the evening. But we can work some out if you want. You're great with beginners." Maria said.
"I do what I need to do." Johnny said.
"No. No. Don't say that, you did more in those few minutes than what I have been doing the last hour." Maria said.
Johnny blushed a little and looked down. Maria patted on his arm and he looked at her.
"Just watch out for Jenny, she's having her eye on you." Maria whispered. Johnny peeked at Jenny.
"Thanks for telling me." Johnny whispered back.
"You're taken aren't you? Jenny is a beautiful lady, but she's very picky with men." Maria whispered. Johnny looked at Jenny again, she's the same type like Penny.
"She's pretty but not my type." Johnny whispered. Maria laughed out loud, her laugh is contagious and it made Johnny chuckle.
"I'm taken." Johnny answered her question.
"That girl is very lucky." Maria said and patted Johnny's arm again.
She walked to the reception desk. Johnny went to take his jacket.
"I'm going to have lunch." Johnny said.
"We'll see you on Monday." Maria said and smiled.
"Papi! Lunch time!" Maria shouted, Juan stumbled as he walked to the front again.
Maria shook her head. Juan looked at Johnny.
"Care to join us boy? Maria made Paella. You should taste it, it's the best." Juan asked and smiled.
"Jenny, go up and dress the table." Maria said.
"Come Johnny." Juan said and laid his hand on Johnny's back and they walked to another door.
Johnny had no choice so he went upstairs and Juan made him sit down at the table. The food did smelled really good, he never had this before.
"Did you ever had Spanish food?" Jenny asked as she sat down.
"No, never." Johnny said as he watched how Maria was putting the food on the table.
"Is it warm enough?" Juan asked, Maria looked at him.
"No, it's cold. Here, eat." Maria said and pyt some on his plate.
"Thanks, it could have been done a little more subtle." Juan said.
Maria rolled her eyes and turned around. Juan slapped her bum and she shrieked.
"Watch it." Maria said but giggled. Johnny watched them with a smile. He saw true love there.
"So Johnny, you're seeing someone special?" Juan asked as he started to eat, Maria laid the food on Johnny's plate and after on Jenny's.
"Yeah, I do." Johnny said as he took the fork and took a bite.
Maria watched his face and smiled.
"You like it?" Maria asked.
"It's amazing." Johnny said and he took another bite.
"I'm glad, now eat on. You look like you need it." Maria said as she sat down and started to eat as well.
"Have you got any future plans?" Juan asked now, he was really curious about Johnny.
"Besides being a dance instructor here?" Johnny asked, Juan chuckled.
"Yes, besides that." Juan said.
"I'm becoming a father." Johnny said, he felt like he couldn't have any secrets with these people.
Jenny looked at him and his smile. Maria looked at her.
"Congratulations." Juan said with a smile.
"Do you have children?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, we have 2." Juan said with a sigh.
"Papi, come on." Maria said and Johnny was confused.
"We have a son and a daughter. Our daughter went back to Spain last year, she fell in love." Maria said with a smile and laid her hand on Juan's arm.
"Our son decided that dancing everywhere else is better than here." Maria said and she ate again.
"He dances?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, he worked this summer at Kellerman's resort. At least what he told us. Good paid job but temporary, now he is on his way to California to work there on a resort." Maria said.
Juan shook his head.
"Working on resorts, he would have done much better here Maria. Why did you let him go?" Juan said as he took some bread now.
"On Kellerman's? What is your son's name?" Johnny asked.
"Ramiro, he took my last name. Ramirez." Maria answered.
"I know your son." Johnny said with a smile, they all looked at Johnny now.
"How?" Jenny asked.
"He worked with me on the entertainment staff at Kellerman's." Johnny said.
"You worked there?" Juan asked.
Johnny looked at Juan thoughtful and gave him a nod.
"I worked there for years." Johnny said.
"You still going there in summer?" Maria asked.
"No, they fired me." Johnny said as he eats on.
He really loves the food. Maria looked thoughtful at Johnny, Jenny wanted to know more and Juan was just eating.
"Why did they fired you?" Jenny now asked.
"Because I got a relationship with a guest and that is forbidden." Johnny said and looked at her.
"The same girl who is pregnant from you?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah." Johnny answered.
"That girl is one lucky girl." Jenny said, Johnny chuckled a bit.
"I'm a lucky man." Johnny said with a smile.
