Chapter Two: Dancing all night

As Javier and Katie came up to La Rosa Negra, Katie felt the energy flowing through her veins. She truly felt home walking through the door of the club and the smell of cigarettes and sweat entered her body.

The old King and Queen of La Rosa Negra were dancing already, while the circle of people around them watched. Javier grabbed Katie's hand and pulled her through the crowd and approached the already stopped couple.

"Look! The King and Queen are back!" someone from the audience shouted. Voices started murmuring as people were jumping to see who they were talking about.

"Javier Suarez and Katie Miller everyone, our reining King and Queen of La Rosa Negra!", the singer at the microphone announced and signaled for an upbeat song to start.

Javier, still holding Katie's hand, led her into the circle and spun her around. Katie began to loosen up and pretty soon they were doing the same routine that they were supposed to do for the finals before Carlos had made that big scene.

The crowd marveled at how well they could dance and was upset when the song was over, but they all continued dancing.

After a couple of songs, Katie and Javier needed a break and walked off towards the bar to grab a couple of drinks. As soon as they sat down, Katie heard that annoying voice that she had heard only a couple of hours ago. "You, you were very hot.". That same lame pickup line from none other, but James. Katie swung around to see James in a gray three piece suit with a big cheesy grin. "What are you doing here James?" Katie asked looking to Javier to try to read his expression, but he had disappeared somewhere. "What, am I not allowed to go to La Negro?" James inquired never letting that smile go. "It's La Rosa Negra, jack ass, and no, you're not allowed to come here." Katie shot back. "Ouch, that was harsh. Well, okay, but tell your boyfriend that he should try some new moves, the other ones are old." James said and turned around to leave, but got stopped by Javier with Carlos and his friends. "Why don't you tell me yourself." Javier said getting in James' face. "Listen, boys, we don't need a fight. I was just leaving. Sorry." James tried getting past, but Carlos stepped in his way every time. "We do need a fight. Maybe it'll knock some sense into you. I don't want to see you around here ever again and I don't want to see you around Katie ever again. Si?" Carlos commanded getting even closer to James and shoving his pointer finger into to chest to emphasize his words. "Yeah, yeah, sure. No problem." James quickly said and ran out of the club.

Javier walked over to Katie and gave her a long passionate kiss right on the lips. "I sorry, I had no-" Katie tried to say, but Javier stopped her. "There is no need to apologize. You had no idea that he would be here, but why don't we go and dance. It'll take our minds off of this." Javier requested and took her hand without waiting for a response.

As they made their way to the dance floor, everyone got really excited to see them back out there. Only a few people stopped to watch, while everyone else just wanted to dance alongside of them. Javier and Katie started swaying to the music and let their bodies naturally come together. Katie placed her arms around his neck and he let his hands wandered her entire back and down to her butt. A few months ago, Katie would not let him touch her there, but now she felt so comfortable with him. Besides, he's seen much more and touched many other places then that. As the music came to a fast part, Javier and Katie start grinding faster and harder. Bouncing up and down and swaying back and forth, they looked like professionals. The more and more that they got into it, the more Javier wanted to take Katie back to the beach and have another wonderful night together. He figured that there would be more time for that later.

After a good two hours of dancing, Javier needed another break, but rather then going to the bar, he led Katie out of the club. As they felt the cool night air hit them, it was easy to tell that they would outside for a while. "What do you want to do?" Katie asked Javier and leaned into him and kissed him very tenderly. "I know the place, but we'll be there a while and I don't know what you'll tell your parents in the morning." Javier said and started walking towards the beach. Katie, knowing where Javier was taking her, simply said "I'll just say I was dancing all night.".
