Dancers Reunited

Chapter 2

By: IAMSOAP

Javier sighed happily as he sat down for the first time that day. It had been nearly 2 years since Javier had last seen Katy Miller.

Javier smiled as he thought of how much his life style had changed since the last time he had seen Katy.

Javier was now the owner of Casta Hotel, one of the larger hotels in Havana.

Javier smiled as he looked around the living room of his apartment.

It was well furnished; there was a light blue couch, a small coffee table and a large bookshelf.

At the far end of the room there was a door, which led to the kitchen where he could hear his mother cooking dinner.

Next to the bookshelf was a hallway, which led to a bathroom and 3 bedrooms.

Carlos and his son had moved out 4 months before.

Carlos had gotten a job in the government, he was determined to keep Cuba a free country, and so fair it was working.

Javier's smile faded slightly.

He mind once again wandered to Katy.

How was she doing?

Had she decided to go to college and get a good job?

Did she think about him as often he did of her?

"Javier."

Javier was shaken out of thoughts by a voice.

He looked up to see his mother standing in the kitchen doorway.

« Si? » (Yes?) He said in Spanish.

"La cena es lista." (Dinner is Ready) (AN—I'm not sure if that is right or not…correct me if I'm wrong)

Javier nodded and stood up and followed her into the kitchen.

Two Years Later

Katy smiled down at Arieta as she played with her birthday present.

Katy had gotten Arieta a large stuffed bear and a new playpen.

Katy and Arieta lives had gotten a lot easier.

In the last two years, Katy had been given a raise in pay at her job at the Clementia Hotel and Arieta had just turned four just last week.

Thanks to her new raise Katy was able to pay her landlady, Maria, a reasonable Salary, and still had money left over to buy Arieta and herself some new clothes.

Also Katy had made a new friend at her job.

Her name was Estel and she was the only nice person at the hotel, everyone else treated her like white trash.

Some days Katy just wanted to go back to her apartment and just curl up and cry, but Estel always seemed to able to cheer her up, and Katy was very grateful for it.

It was very hard for Katy to be sad anyways, Arieta had now learned how to talk and she was very curious about everything, Arieta was always smiling and ready to explore a new place when going on the Saturday walks around town with her mother.

"Mommy."

Katy was shook out of thoughts by the call of her daughter.

Katy walked over to Arieta and bent down so that she was at her level.

"Yes Rita?"

Arieta looked up at her mother with wide hopeful eyes.

"Can we go the part this Saturday?"

Katy couldn't help but smile at her daughter's expression.

"Of course we can! What a good idea, shall we pack a picnic too?"

Arieta punched her hands into the air.

"YAY!" She squealed.

Katy laughed.

"Alright then, but only if you promise to go to bed on time and behave when Aunt Maria is looking after you."

Arieta nodded enthusiastically.

"I will Mommy! I promise!"

Katy smiled and ruffled her daughter's hair.

"That's my girl."

Katy stood up.

"Now, time to get ready for bed."

Arieta opened her mouth but then closed it when remembering what her promise had been.

"OK…" Arieta said a little less enthusiastically.

Thursday and Friday went by quickly and soon enough it was Saturday and Katy and Arieta were making the 20-minute walk down to the park in the center of Havana.

Arieta just loved going to the park, it was the coolest place that her mother had taken her to, and as they entered the park Arieta look around while holding her mommy's hand and amused herself by watching all the things around her.

When they reached their "spot", which was a nice place in the shade of a big tree, Arieta helped her mother spread out the blanket and then they played a few rounds of go fish (which wasn't really playing by the rules because Arieta didn't really get what they were doing), they had lunch.

Katy smiled as she watched her daughter dig into the chocolate which Katy had bought for their dessert.

As Arieta began playing with her Barbie doll (Katy had brought her old Barbie doll from American for Arieta) Katy lay down and looked up at the clouds, and before she knew it she had fallen asleep.

It only seemed like seconds later when Katy blinked and realized she had dozed off.

Katy shook herself awake and sat up looking around.

Wait a minute…where was Arieta?

Katy suddenly shot straight up and began looking around the park hoping to see her daughter playing at the play ground with another child.

But Katy couldn't see her…. ANYWHERE…

TBC

Cliffhanger!

NOT!

HAHA! Just kidding!

You actually thought I would leave you guys hanging at a place like that? He hee

Cough Anyways! On with the chapter!

Arieta was playing with her Barbie doll (whose name was Sarah), when a pretty butter bug, or was it butterfly? She couldn't remember what her mommy had called it, but she new it was pretty and with a giggle she put down Sarah and began chasing after the butter bug.

Arieta had been chasing around the butter bug for a while when she finally had to give up, the butter bug had flown to where Arieta couldn't reach it now walk over to it.

Didn't the butter bug want to play with her?

She sighed and turned around to go tell her mommy about the pretty butter bug.

But…where was her mommy?

She didn't recognize where she was at all.

She and her mommy had never gone down this path…

Where was her mommy?

"Mommy?" Arieta called shakily, her eyes beginning to burn.

"Mommy…" Arieta said and then sunk to the ground and began to cry.

Where was her mommy, had her mommy left her behind?

Or even forgot her.

That made Arieta let out another sob.

"Hola?" said a deep voice.

Arieta looked up to see a young man bent over and looking at her with concern.

Arieta slowly backed away.

"Who are you?" she asked frightened, her mommy had told her to never talk to strangers.

The young man looked startled for a second but then smiled.

"It's alright, I wont hurt you. Are you lost?"

Arieta nodded tears slowly falling down her face again.

"I can't find my mommy."

The young man smiled again and held out his hand.

"I could help you find you mommy, if you like."

Arieta wasn't very sure what to do…but he looked so nice, he smiled like her mommy.

"Okay…" Arieta whispered while taking the man's hand.

"Do you know which way you came from?" The young man asked.

Arieta nodded and pointed left, and off they went.

"What is your name Miss?" The man asked with a smile.

"My name is Arieta, I am four!" Arieta said with a smile while holding up three fingers.

The young man laughed.

"Well Miss Arieta, my name is--"

"ARIETA!"

Arieta looked up to see her mommy running towards her.

"MOMMY!" Arieta squealed, and ran into her mommy's arms.

Katy was running down a garden path looking high and low when she saw her, walking down the path with a young man.

Katy almost collapsed in relief when her daughter came running into her arms. As she looked her over she started rambling.

"Oh! I am so sorry Rita! I dozed off and when I woke up and couldn't find you…I was so WORRIED ABOUT YOU! I thought someone had stolen you away, or…or…oh! I am just so glad your safe!"

When Katy finally loosened her hold on Arieta, Arieta smiled.

"It's ok mommy! This guy helped me find my way back!"

Katy finally remembered the young man who had been walking with Arieta.

"Sir, I can't thank you enou-"

Katy stopped short when she saw who she was looking at.

Katy almost fainted again.

"Javier…"
