DO YOU ONLY WANNA DANCE?
Chapter Eight
Jack waited patiently at the
altar. He was sweating and nervous, but he knew this was what he had wanted all
of his life. He looked down at his shoes. They were nice and shiny and the suit
that he wore was perfect. He looked at himself, thinking about his career as a
doctor. Then he heard the music begin and turned around to meet his bride, the
lovely Rosa Delgado.
Rosa glowed like she never had
before. She walked slowly towards him, meeting him face-to-face.
"Hi," Jack said, and
kept staring at her. He couldn't imagine marrying anyone other than her.
She grabbed his hand, and the
priest began.

Minutes later, they had become
husband and wife. Rosa looked up at the stars, and said, "Thank you."
Jack didn't ask what she had
wished for and just let her be. There was a nightclub with good music. It had
attracted Jack's curiosity. He got Rosa's hand and started to walk with her to
the club.
"It's time to put those
dancing lessons to good use, Rosa," Jack said confidently.
"Show me what you got,
Dawson." She smiled, holding his hand as they walked to the front entrance
of the club.
*****
The music was very inspiring. It
held a person in a trance, and with its smooth rhythm, it just made them want
to dance.
Rosa looked into the crowd and
pulled Jack with her. She put her arms around him. The music was slow. Rosa
loved dancing with Jack. It felt so right.
Someone tapped Jack on the
shoulder. He turned around to see who it was. It was a man, someone Jack had
never met before.
"May I cut in?" Nick
asked.
Rosa saw who it was. It was her
ex. She hated him more than anything. When they were dating, he used to come to
her late at night to try to make out with her. He would take advantage of her,
and cheat on her, too.
"No, Nick. Not
tonight." She stayed in Jack's arms.
"Come on, Rosa. We used to
be so good together." He smiled at her, thinking he could have her back.
"Sorry, I am married now.
This is my husband, Jack Dawson." She shined him on and left the dance
floor with Jack.
"So, he was your ex?"
Jack asked.
"Yeah. Big mistake. Let's
leave, Jack. We have some unfinished business." She smiled widely.
"I have a feeling that I
ain't gonna wake up tomorrow." He chuckled.
"Well, Jack, I am already in
heaven, but I do believe they may be missing an angel." She glanced into
his bright blue eyes.
"That makes two, Rosa.
‘Cause so far, you have taught me a valuable lesson." He looked into her
green eyes.
"What's that?" Rosa
asked.
"Never give up on what you
wish for." He smiled and kissed her lips.
*****
Nick saw from afar that he had
lost Rosa to some white guy. Whether he was really her husband or not, he
intended to find out. He wasn't going to let her go, married or not.
He saw them enter a hotel room
together. He saw Jack pick her up and close the door behind him. He went close
to their door and heard giggling.
Rosa had never been the type to
sleep with a man on their first date, so maybe they were together. Jack had taken
Rosa's virginity and not him. That made him angry. He had always tried to get
Rosa to put out, and she never would. Not once. So, what made him so special?
He had to find out. What secrets did this Jack hold? He had to find out.
