"The winners of the dance competition part of this assignment is a tie between Rosalina and Alex and Nat and Juanita. Congrats!" Jesse exclaimed, excited for both couples. Rosalina and Alex smiled at each other. But Nat and Juanita were still puzzled as to the dance and just what exactly had brought on that kiss. There were no signs of either liking each other before. All of the fighting made Nat think even more that he was just in the moment of the song.
After
almost everyone left to go home, Nat stayed behind to think about
everything. He sat down on the edge of the stage, soon joined by
Rosalina.
"You guys did an awesome job up there," she said,
trying to start a conversation.
"Thanks. You too."
"Um…Nat
look, I know it's none of my business but why'd you kiss her? Was
that part of the dance?"
"Actually no it wasn't. it just
happened…I'm not sure myself about it," Nat said, smirking.
"yeah same thing happened at dance rehearsal with Alex. The
kiss just happened. Oops sorry, I know you probably don't want me
talking about this stuff with you."
"No actually it's nice
talking to you again," Nat smiled at her.
"Yeah it is," she
said, smiling back.
"So, are you falling for Alex?"
"That
I'm not so sure of," she replied, looking down at the ring.
"Well, you do have a ring already," Nat laughed.
"Yeah
I guess I do," she giggled. "It's cool with you though..right?"
"Totally. I think I should figure this Juanita thing out.
Friends?"
"Definitely." Rosalina and Nat shook hands and
hugged. Then she got up and walked out, joined by Alex at the door.
They walked out hand in hand. Nat looked at them and smiled. He
really did mean friends with her. Somehow, that kiss with Juanita
made him move on. He wasn't sure exactly how, but it was nice not
having an awkward friendship with Rosalina.
The end of the assignment came soon enough. Jesse had them in the rehearsal room, ready to tell them who won and everything. David and Patty gave their baby back gladly. Both wanted more sleep at night once again. They looked about to pass out. David even said "one more diaper change and I'll die." Thomas and Kristina got 3rd place just for trying. They said being engaged was hard and that they didn't seem to find enough in common to get along all that well. David and Patty got 2nd place for putting up with the baby. Except for forgetting the baby once, they did a good job at keeping care of the baby.
"Nat
and Juanita, you two were supposed to be the couple fighting all the
time. And at first, you had that part down pat. But now? You guys are
getting along. It's like…your in love or something," jesse
said, looking straight at Nat. He looked at Juanita who blushed. She
held his hand and squeezed it tight. "So because of that, although
I'm glad you two like each other or whatever, you didn't pass the
assignment."
They weren't really disappointed though. It came
as no surprise to them. They had tried to fight each other, but
fighting the feelings for one another proved to be harder than just
fighting. So they gave up and let them show.
"Alex and
Rosalina, you guys get first place. You went up and beyond the
assignment in many ways. Alex you bought that ring and no one had
asked you to. That's cute. Rosalina, you showed true devotion to
Alex. If you guys were not in this assignment, I'd swear you two
were dating." Jesse said, laughing.
"Um…actually I have something to say about that," Alex interrupted. Everyone looked at him curiously. He looked at Rosalina nervously. "I'd like Rosalina to be my girlfriend…"
"Seriously?" Thomas,
David and Nat asked at once.
"Yeah…so would you?" he looked
at her, waiting to see her reaction.
"Yes I will," she
replied, smiling hugely at him. He kissed her cheek and hugged her.
So the assignment was over. But so much had changed just because of that one little thing.
The end.
