"I just want to dance, dirty, dirty dance"
Katie and Suzie dressed for a night of dancing and entertainment. Joshua and James knocked on the door, "Are you girls ready?" Joshua asked them, then he looked at Katie and was mesmerized by her beauty. "Wow, Katie, you look fantastic," he took hold of her hand and placed a kiss on it
"Te amo" ( I love you in Spanish)
"I didn't know you spoke Spanish?"
"I don't, but I learnt that just for you."
"Ohhh, Josh, you are from heaven! Come on lets go out and have a good night."
The two couples entered the Palace and took a table in the middle.
"This place has not changed in over two years, how amazing is that!"
"Hahaha, I know its still the same Palace, that's for sure."
After drinks and a meal, they all got up and danced. The music was North American influenced and played many hits of the charts. A slow song started up and Joshua drew Katie up against his body as they slowly moved carefully to the music.
"Are you enjoying yourself Katie?"
"Yeah, its uh... great...."
"you cannot fool me, I know you too well Katie. Just admit your bored out of your brains."
Katie looked up at Joshua and gave a sheepish smile, "Well, you know, this sort of isn't my scene. I never really liked this place when I lived here 2 years ago, and it hasn't changed so it's not any better."
"Hey James," Joshua called over to James and Suzie, "Katie is bored with this place, how about we go somewhere else?"
James and Suzie looked at each other and silent information passed between them. They both nodded in agreement. They would go to La Rosa Negra.
"Yeah, Joshua, Suz and I know this great little club to go to we should go there."
"Great, how about we head off now, is that ok with you Katie?"
Katie replied with a smile, finally she might be able to go somewhere and enjoy herself. "Yeah, sure, I do not mind. Take me anywhere"
The two couples took a cab for 20minutes before they arrived at the front of La Rosa Negra. Katie looked up at her surroundings and her eyes widened in realization of where she was.
"Suzie!!! Why here? Why do we have to come here?" she yelled at her younger sister.
"You know you want to, this is what you have wanted to do since we left this place."
"I am not going in there, you can drop me off back at the hotel " - "Ha. No we wont, you are coming in here whether you like it or not, he probably is not even here."
Joshua suddenly cut in, "Who is going to be there?"
"No one," Katie replied immediately.
"Look Katie," Suzie said in a more comforting tone, "you don't have to even dance. Just go in there for a drink, have a look around, just for memories sake."
"Fine, I'll go in, but I wont dance!"
"ok good, lets go in."
Joshua was extremely confused. What had just gone on between the two sisters? He glanced at James, but his friend just shook his head in a way of saying 'don't ask'. But Joshua had to know what had happened in this club and he hoped he would find out that night........
He had never been as shocked before as he ever had in his life when he first walked into the club. Joshua's upbringing had always been proper and conservative, and had never before in America seen dancing as seen in this club. Bodies were connecting together, rubbing against one another, full of passion. He looked over to the faces of his companions to see if they were as stunned as he was, but they looked relaxed and used to the scene, 'well I suppose they have been here before.' He then looked at Katie's face. She had a distant expression worn on her face and her eyes were everywhere, searching around the room. 'I wonder for whom?' he thought.
They walked over to the bar to order drinks. "Isn't the music fantastic!! Well Josh, this is your first taste of real Cuban nightlife"
"Yes, its very different to what I expected, are you sure you don't want to dance Katie?"
But Katie did not answer him. Her mind was lost in the dancing. She wistfully scanned the room for him but did not see him. 'oh well, it is just wishful thinking that he would be here, I can't believe I convinced myself that he would be here."
"huh? What did you say Josh?" Katie finally answered.
Joshua looked at her concerned, "I asked if you wanted to dance."
Katie looked out on the dance floor, then back at him, "Tonight I am not in the mood to dance and also, no offence honey, but you wouldn't know how to dance like them."
"ooohhh busted!" suzie cried out, "good luck Josh, ever getting her to dance here, she has high standards"
"Oh well, it was worth a try, one day, maybe someone could teach me?
"Yeah....." Katie again was lost in her searching and found nothing......
When they returned to the hotel, Katie locked herself away in her room and did not come out for the rest of the night. Her dreams were intense and clouded by memory. When she woke the next morning she saw Joshua sleeping on the couch. As she walked through to the kitchen she heard his voice.
"Morning, did you have a nice sleep all by yourself locked in our room last night?
Katie slapped her forehead, "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Josh, I didn't mean to lock you out, I just, uh, needed time by myself."
"Are you feeling ok this morning?"
Katie answered hesitantly, "yeah, fine..." and walked out of the hotel room.
Joshua ran after her and followed her down onto the beach.
"Katie, wait..... Katie, do you want to tell me what's wrong with you. Ever since I mentioned this trip you have become all distant and cold. Tell me what is wrong so I can help. I want to help you."
Katie sighed, "look Josh, what I am going through now is something I have to work on, you cannot help, it is my problem, just don't worry about it." with that she walked off leaving Joshua alone on the beach.
That night, the four went back to La Rosa Negra. James and Suzie hoped they would be able to convince Katie to dance but they were having no such luck. Joshua decided to give up trying to communicate with Katie as she ignored her friends for that night, just watching the dancing.
As she was sipping a martini and staring out onto the dance floor, a figure caught her eye. Dancing amongst the crowd, there he was, dressed in a white singlet partially covered by an unbuttoned short sleeved shirt. His brown shaggy hair fell into his eyes as he danced with an attractive Cuban girl. Katie's heart gave a huge leap. For a second their eyes met. He stopped dancing and looked at her in disbelief. She placed her glass down on the table and go up.
"Where are you going Katie?" Joshua asked, "Where are you going?" he asked again when she would not answer and then he saw her great an attractive Cuban, "Who's that?" he asked James and Suzie,
"Oh my gosh, it's Javier! James come on lets say hi!" so Suzie dragged James along with a confused Joshua following behind.
Javier stopped dancing with the girl and told her he had to go. She tried to pull him back into her arms but he resisted and broke free of her grasp. She had been lucky to have the chance to dance with him, after all he was the 'King' of La Rosa Negra. Many girls wanted him, but he resisted them all as he only had eyes for one, the queen..... the American, Katie. She looked up and saw to whom Javier was going to and a pang of jealousy swept over her, 'oh she is back.'
