I do not own the characters of Dirty Dancing, nor do I own the movie. Let me know what you think of this story from me. Please do read and review this one, so I know if I must go on with it.
"You're going out tonight?" My father asked as he smiled back at me.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to a bar. I want to be alone for a moment and have a drink." I said as I was taking my jacket.
"We don't mind honey. We will watch Thom." My mother said with a smile.
"Great! Thank you so much." I said as I give them both a kiss before I left the house. I was wondering where Lisa was these days. She did a study for fashion designer, she graduated last year and moved to New Jersey because she got a job opportunity there. Since last summer I've only seen her once at Christmas, she had a boyfriend but I really don't know if she's still with him.
I walked to the nearest bar and entered it, I looked around and some people turned to see who was coming inside. An old friend of me was sitting at the bar and smiled when I came inside.
"Hey there Baby! How are you these days?" He asked and I walked to him with a smile.
"Great Dave, I just got home today from university." I said as I sat down next to him.
"Great to hear, are you planning something for this summer?" He asked curiously and I looked closely at him.
"Don't you worry Baby; you know I'm too old for you anyway. I see you as my daughter, you know that. I'm just a bit curious. How's your son?" He asked as he smiled while he gave me a kiss on my cheek. I chuckle a bit as I looked at him.
"He's doing great! He can walk now, which sometimes is annoying when I'm having college though." I said as I smiled happily. "My parents are watching him now." I added and he nodded with a smile.
"I could have guessed so. You wanted to be alone for a bit?" He asked and I nodded, he knew me too well not to know how I felt these days. "No worries darling, you will get on with your life." He added softly and I gave him a little hug.
"So what are your plans for the summer?" He asked again as he gave me a beer. I drink a bit as I looked at him with a smile.
"I'm going to have a job. It's the best opportunity I ever got, but I must stop with my study as well." I explained as I putted the beer down.
"You're sure you want that Baby? These days it's important to have a diploma you know." He said as he sighed deeply, I knew he didn't have one and that's why he became a truck driver.
"I know, but this job opportunity offers me to get my diploma as well while I'm working for the company. It gives me the chance to get on with my life you know, to start a new life with my son." I said as I took my beer again.
Dave looked at me carefully and didn't say a word for a while; he was drinking his beer and smoking a cigarette while I looked at him.
"You're still driving?" I asked to put up a conversation.
"Yeah, 5 years left before I can retire. Can't wait for it, been too long away from home last years and I want to spend my time with my wife." He said as he sighed again.
"I can guess so." I said silently as I looked at my glass which I still was holding in my hand. Dave looked closely at me.
"2 beers here!" He shouted and he turned to me again while he leaned at the bar for a bit.
"Baby, you still love Johnny deeply don't you?" He whispered as he was still looking at me, while the bartender putted 2 beers down in front of us. I looked at him and a tear felt down on my cheek.
"You never will stop loving him, I'm sure of that darling." He said as he grabbed me tightly for a moment. I tried to smile at him.
"Keep your head up Baby; I got the feeling that you will see him one day again." He whispered as he took the beer to drink it, while he putted his cigarette out in the ashtray. I was thinking for a bit; Dave was the only person on earth where I could tell everything to. I trusted him deeply.
"I don't think so Dave. If I would see him again, then I don't know what I would do actually. And by the way." I said as I putted the empty glass down and took the other beer I got from him.
"Go on." He said with a smile as he was waiting for what I wanted to tell him.
"I don't think I will see him ever again as I moving away from here for my job." I said seriously and sighed again while I thought about the opportunity.
"Where are you moving to? I'm going to miss you as well then?" He asked curiously and I tried to smile at him again while he was still smiling at me.
"I think so, but I will come as many times as possible to visit my parents and to visit you." I said as I drink again. Dave was looking curiously at me.
"Where are you moving to Baby?" He asked again after a moment.
"Great Britain, London to be exactly." I answered him as I smiled a bit now. Dave made big eyes while he looked at me.
"That's great you know. I love London, been there twice now. Great city with great people and I'm sure I'm going to miss you lots." Dave said while he kept on smiling.
I smiled back at him and heard noises around me, I looked around and so did Dave. "Oh my. What's happening?" He asked as he heard some people stumbling while others were moving tables and chairs aside.
"I'm wondering as well." I said when the bartender stood near us.
"There's a dance group coming to dance within an hour. It's for making promotions to a sort of musical I've heard. You want something to drink?" He asked as he looked at me with a smile.
"Sure." I said as I was very curious in what sort of dancing they would bring. Dave looked at me and was still smiling.
"You're curious aren't you? Johnny has changed you a lot you know, in the positive ways." Dave whispered and it made me stumble a bit. I was getting a bit drunk now, because I was drinking my beers too fast.
Dave grabbed me and putted me back on the bar chair as he was chuckling. "You mustn't drink that much Baby. You can't handle it." He said and I giggled for a bit.
"I know, but I've got the feeling to get drunk tonight. I don't know why, but I just want to." I said as I took the beer from the bartender. He was only smiling at me as he walked away again.
"You get a coke from me after this one you heard me? I don't want you to get drunk, that's not good for your body." He said sternly and I looked confused at him.
"You drink as well Dave. Why shouldn't I drink?" I asked stupidly as I stood on my feet again.
"Well, you're still young you know and I'm an old bastard, I don't care to get drunk as I'm having an old body anyway. You on the other hand miss, you look great and you're beautiful and with drinking too much it will make your body old." Dave said teasingly as he chuckled a bit.
"That's so not true Dave!" I said as I laughed while I walked to the toilets.
When I came back I was feeling a bit better and I heard voices and music. I walked to Dave again, who smiled at me as I sat next to him again. He looked at the people again while he was thinking.
I looked at him and saw his look. "What is it?" I asked as I know that look too well.
"Nothing much, but I think I know that guy from somewhere. I can't place him though, but I must have seen him somewhere." Dave said as he still was trying to place the guy. I looked at the people a bit confused.
"Which one you mean Dave?" I asked curiously as I looked at a blond guy.
"The one in the back, it's like he doesn't want to be at the front though." Dave said as he pointed to a guy who was standing in the back, looking down and pacing for a bit. I looked at him and my mouth dropped.
