No Ordinary Love

Chapter 81

*****not edited*****

Zayra walked back down the stairs and saw everyone's concerned face. She smiled kindly telling them all she had a headache but took some aspirin. She sat back down and began to drink. She wanted to get a bit wasted.

Fuck it all

She swallowed the last of her drink and ordered another one.

"You shouldn't drink so much?" Roman said to her.

She snickered.

The conversation continued to flow, dessert was brought in and everyone was stuffed by the delicious four course meal that was served. Zayra ate the decadent cake, savoring this more than she had with her food.

The band started to play music and Zayra decided to join them. She heard the happy murmurs as they watched her walk to the band.

She smiled at the men, introduced herself to the group. Each one congratulating her engagement.

She asked if she could join them and they of course accepted. She asked the audience what song they wanted to hear and she heard the different songs. She singled out Dona Lourdes.

"Dona Lourdes, because you and Marina were kind enough to host this beautiful party I would like to pay you back with a song."

Dona Lourdes walked toward her and asked the band if they knew a few songs which they did not.

They finally decided on Sabor A mi from los Panchos.

Tanto tiempo disfrutamos de este amor
Nuestras almas se acercaron tanto asi
Que yo guardo tu sabor
Pero tu llevas tambien, sabor a mi.
Si negaras mi presencia en tu vivir
Bastaria con abrazarte y conversar
Tanta vida yo te di
Que por fuerza tienes ya, sabor a mi.

No pretendo, ser tu dueno,
No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad
De mi vida, doy lo bueno,
Soy tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar.

Pasaran mas de mil anos, muchos mas
Yo no se si tenga amor, la eternidad
Pero alla tal como aqui,
En la boca llevaras, sabor a mi

She sang the song and knew everyone's eyes were trained on her. Especially Roman's.

Not that it mattered, she wanted to stay away from him. Singing would be one way but had to figure out the rest of the night.

Carlos would be the answer. Yet she didn't want them to physically attack each other.

Once everyone stopped eating and began gathering around to dance and enjoy the concert, Zayra moved the music to a faster beat.

Singing salsa and cumbia songs to get everyone's blood pumping, including hers. After she sang about four songs, she called on Carlos and Victor and his band to join.

Everyone clapped, Victor and his friends looked mildly embarrased yet excited to perform.

Carlos smiled smugly, knowing exactly what she was doing.

She introduced them all to the audience. Carlos standing next to her.

"Carlos would you join me in a song?"

"Of course Zayra I'm sure your guests have not tired of my beautiful voice. " he half teased.

"Well let me ask. Make some noise if you'd like to hear Carlos sing some more."

Cheers were heard especially from the women.

Zayra smiled brightly at him.

"You see Carlos, they want more of you."
