I boarded the trolley to The Grove with Noelle in my arms. I took a seat with Noelle in my lap. I looked at who was driving the trolley; Mark. Oh god, please don't kill us! I exclaimed. Mark turned and looked at me. He smirked. Fancy seeing you here. I rolled my eyes as other people boared the trolley. Just get us there in one piece, Markie. I said with a laugh. He smiled. Of course. he said sitting down. The doors of the trolley closed and Mark pulled away from the curb and started driving.

We pulled up to The Grove and I smiled. I helped Noelle up and fixed her dress. I grabbed her hand and lead her up to the front of the trolley. I pulled out $5 and handed it to Mark. For getting us there in one piece. I said with a laugh. Mark shook his head. I'm not taking your money. he said. Mark, please. I said. He sighed and took it. I gave him a hug. He hugged me back and waved at Noelle. You're coming by this week, right? I asked. He nodded. We'll talk after the show. he said smiling. I nodded and walked with Noelle off of the trolley. I walked up to security and the guy smiled at me and allowed Noelle and I in. I walked up to the stage. Artem, Carlos, and Val were dancing. I pulled out my phone. Alright, now; give me fierce! I said taking a picture. They all turned and looked at me. They laughed. I'm serious. Pose! I said. They laughed and striked a pose. I looked at the picture and laughed. Alright Artem, don't try so hard. I said playfully smiling at him. He glared at me and hopped off the stage and attacked me. Carlos and Val laughed. Artem let me go and kissed my head. Nice to see you two could make it. he said smiling at Noelle. You two look lovely. he said smiling. I smiled. Thanks Artie. We're lucky to be here, Mark was our driver. I said with a laugh. Artem laughed along with me. Val hopped off the stage and walked over to us. Artem smiled at us and turned to Carlos. He hopped back on stage. Alright, let's do it again. he said clapping his hands together as the music started. Val grabbed Noelle and sat down in one of the seats. I sat down next to him. Val looked at Noelle's outfit. You look beautiful, sweetie. he said smiling at her. Noelle smiled and wrapped her arms around Val hugging him. You look beautiful also, babe. he said smiling at me. I smiled back. Where's Uncle D? he asked Noelle. Noelle looked at me and shrugged. Val looked at me. He didn't ride with you guys? he asked. I shook my head as a car pulled up behind ours. We turned around to see Derek and Bindi get out of the car. We're here! they said running up to us. Val looked at Derek. He nodded at the bag. Everything good? Derek asked. Val nodded. Derek smiled at us. Well, we're going to go practice. Derek said grabbing Bindi's hand and pulling her away from us. Good Luck! I called after them. We watched as Artem and one of the girls danced to a routine. The song ended and I fanned myself. Artem, stop being sexy! I yelled throwing a $1 at him. He laughed and winked at me. Val nudged me and I laughed. You're cuter though. I said kissing his cheek. He smiled and kissed my hand. This place is beautiful. I said looking around. I want a picture by that tree. I said pointing to it. Val smiled and stood up with Noelle. He carried her over to the tree and I followed behind them. Val stood in front of the tree and I pulled out my phone. Smile! I exclaimed. I took the picture and smiled at it. @JamaBJamaica: Happy DWTS Finale day from our family to yours! @iamvalc💃🏽Crazy to think that this season of #DWTS is coming to an end 😞 I put my phone back in my pocket as everyone started filing in. Val lead me back to our seats and he kissed me. I'll be back when I can. he said handing Noelle to me. I smiled and nodded. Go dance your heart out. I said smiling at him. He smiled and kissed my hand. I love you. he said. I love you too. He kissed Noelle's head and followed Artem to the dancer's area. I took my seat in the front row and sat Noelle down in my lap as the show was getting ready to start.
