When Julianna and her crew hear that they won, they start hugging and cheering and screaming and pumping fists in the air.

Julianna is laughing/crying and the crowd goes up onto the stage.

I push my way onto the stage and look for Julianna.

I see a big boom box golden trophy moving above the crowd.

I'm still shoving and pushing until I see Julianna hugging my brothers.

Her crew are hugging their girlfriends which I'm assuming because they're making out like there's no tomorrow.

"Te dije que ibas a ganar!" Mauricio says as he shakes her.

She's smiling and crying and laughing.

Benjamin is hugging her but when they see me, they smile at me.

Julianna turns and sees me.

She screams and runs into my arms.

I grunt as she slams into my chest and I twirl her around, her legs locking around my waist.

"I won! I can't believe I won!" She screams as she hugs me and assualts me with kisses.

I laugh and hug her before she unlocks her legs and I settle her on the ground.

I kiss her passionately and roughly because I'm so damn proud of her.

She kisses me back and wraps her arms around my neck.

"I told you you would win!" I exclaim when I pull back.

Her tears have stopped but she's glowing like a kid at Disneyland.

I cup her face and kiss her again and again and again.

"Congratulations, chiquita" I say to her as I kiss her once more.

"Thank you! For everything!" She squeals as she hugs me.

She's practically vibrating with the energy.

I hold her tight and see pendejo staring at us with a sad, forlorn look.

My anger jumps and I hold Julianna protectively.

She must sense the change because she's suddenly pulling away and looking at me.

"What's wrong?"

I'm not about to ruin her happiness because of the pendejo.

I'll see him afterwards.

"Nada." I say as I kiss her roughly before she can speak up.

When we stop, she looks at me, a little dazed.

Pendejo is gone.

Good.

"Miss?" We turn to see one of the judges looking at us.

"Yes?" She asks sweetly.

The judge smiles at her and hands her an envelope.

"Congratulations!" He says before walking off.

She opens the envelope and she nearly collapses against me.

"The...money." She whispers as she takes out the cash and counts it very fast.

She must've worked in a bank.

"50,000. 50,000!" She says, laughing and hugging.

The bills in her hand.

"You deserve it." I say as I cup her face and kiss her once more.

"Once we get home," I say, pressing her body against mine, my hand at the small of her back, on top of the tattoo.

"We'll celebrate...your victory." I whisper huskily in her ear.

She shivers slightly.

"Paco," she nearly moans.

"Vamos a celebrar haciendo el amor." I whisper, kissing her neck.

She moans ever so softly.

Although, she can't understand every word I say, she knows enough to know what I mean.

I pull back when I see my parents moving towards us.

The people are parting when they see them mainly because my dad has the tattoos.

"You did it, honey!" My mom yells as she crushes Julianna to her body.

"You see," my dad says, hugging them both. "Everything worked out."

Julianna smiles and hugs them tightly.

Once the stadium has cleared, we go outside.

Julianna and her crew are talking.

Their girlfriends are waiting from a distance.

It's obvious they feel pride for their guys.

I didn't want to intrude because Julianna was talking with her crew.

They were still smiling and laughing and tossing jokes.

"I didn't know she was that good." My brother, Mauricio says, stuffing his face with food.

"Where'd you get that?" I ask.

"When you're a Fuentes, what can't you get?"

I laugh as my parents walk up to us with my brother Benjamin.

"Oh, sweetie. She's so talented." My mom says, gushing about Julianna and her dance like she's won a Nobel prize.

"Era perfecta." My dad says, kissing my mom.

"I had no idea she was talented like that." Benjamin says.

I feel pride swell up in me when they talk about Julianna because she's mine and only mine.

I look to see her passing out money to each person.

Their faces light up as they hold the money.

I notice that she and David split the 10 grand between them.

They talk and hug each other before parting.

Julianna walks up to me and kisses me gently.

"We're done. No more battles until next year." She says, her hands in my hair, my hands clasped around the small of her back.

We kiss for a bit since my parents are talking and my brothers are stuffing their faces with food.

When we pull away, she puts her head on my shoulder.

I wrap my arms around her tighter and hold her closer.

"I can stay like this forever." She murmurs softly.

I kiss the top of her head and place my cheek on her head.

"Then stay with me forever." I whisper gently.

As her answer, she holds me tighter and turns her head so she she's looking up at me.

"You have me forever." She whispers as she raises her head and kisses me softly and gently.

"We should celebrate!" My mom announces.

I totally forgot mi familia was here.

Julianna giggles but doesn't move away from me.

My dad is gone, probably getting the car.

"Adonde?" Benjamin asks.

"I don't know. Wherever Julianna wants to go. What do you say?"

Julianna looks a bit embarrassed and shy.

"Um, I don't really know." She says softly, holding onto me.

"Oh, don't be shy! My husband knows some really good places to celebrate. Like that cute little restaurant up the street..." My mom rambles on and on and Julianna snuggles into me.

"It's okay, princesa." I whisper in her ear. "My present is currently inside my pants and will wait until we hit the bed."

She blushes and hides her face in my chest.

I chuckle softly.

"Will I like your present?" She whispers, looking up at me and placing her arms lazily on my shoulders.

"You've liked it before." I whisper, shooting her a cocky grin which makes her laugh softly.

"I can't wait." She whispers softly, looking down at my lips before kissing me.

I deepen the kiss by slipping my tongue against hers and she moans so softly, I doubt anyone heard it.

I'm starting to get a hard on but I control my hands because we're with mi familia.

In the open.

Reluctantly, I pull away.

"Later." I whisper, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Aw, shit!" Mauricio says.

"What?" Julianna asks and when he looks at her, I know it's not good news.

"It looks we're going to have to stall the celebration." My mom says, her voice tight.

"What?" Julianna asks impatiently.

My brothers point somewhere behind us and suddenly Julianna is as stiff as a wall.

Because when we follow his pointing finger, my body just freezes.

Her parents are heading towards us.
