The Greatest Birthday of All {Part Three}

Jaelyn's POV

After eating a slice of my birthday cake, I take the plastic plate, get out of my vehicle, and toss it in the garbage can of McDonalds. I have set a garbage bag on the lever of the interior car just in case Danny, Cousin Michelle, and Luke finish their cake pieces. By the time I pull up to the venue, our siblings and their significant others just get out of their individual vehicles to meet up with the four of us.

The nineteen of us gather together in a line and we are all accepted in! Jerry is here with his beau, Brian tonight and the Salsa music blares through the speakers as we all come closer to the main dance floor, which is very crowded with multiple people. Danny and I take each other's hands in one as he guides me to the center of the dance floor.

"No matter the mishap, there's never a mistake in dancing, Jaelyn!" Danny yells over the loud Salsa music. With that, I concentrate on Danny's green eyes just as his hand rests on the left side of my upper back and wait for Danny's lead as I do the same on his back. I perform the on the one step and moving my hips to the four on the floor Salsa music beats before I proceed with the on the two step and Danny leading me to spin once. Oh, my gosh! This Italian man of mine just spinned me, I feel like a Salsa dancing ballerina with heels instead of flats! Out of nowhere, a random man just said something in Italian and Danny replies in the same language before guiding me to spin to a random gentleman until I spin around the tunnel of numerous gentlemen guiding me to return dancing with Danny again.

I really feel like I'm Vanessa L. Williams when she was in the movie, Dance with Me, which is one of my favorite movies! So, anyway, I have spin and sashaying when we are dancing in a circle as big as the Earth with various people. The guys clap twice before us ladies repeat for three times before we spin around the circle while we squeal. Our feet touches the floor again and Danny and I have danced around until the finale of the song.

Danny and I are breathing heavily as we glance at each other's smiles just as the slow Bachata song comes on through the speakers. "Hello, everyone! I hope you're enjoying your night and I just wanna say Happy Birthday to my new friend my daughter and I met here in New York City. Jaelyn Rodriguez, where are you, miel (honey)?" Mariam calls.

I just clap twice to get Mariam's attention and yell, "I'm here!" The spotlight hurries at Danny and I.

"Hola, honey! How are you and who are you with tonight?" Mariam queries with her significant Dominican accent. I walk closer, so Mariam and the others can hear me. One of the guys hand me the microphone. "I'm here with my boyfriend of five months, Danny, my family, our friends, and their dates." The audience claps.

"Jaelyn, do you remember at the bridal store that my daughter, Cecilia wants to invite you, Danny, and the both of your families to her wedding?" Mariam questions.

"Of course, I do." I remember. "Cecilia and I decide to give you two and your families and friends your own rooms at the Lingham in Pasadena, CA!" Mariam announces. This time, a loud applause and hollering erupts and my mouth drops to the floor. Oh, my gosh! Mariam Perez- Evans and her daughter, Cecilia have rooms for all of us to spend time for Cecilia's wedding in Pasadena, CA! I cannot wait to tell Mom and Dad when we get home! Mariam walks downstairs to give me a hug and I respond my hug to her.

"Thank you, Mariam." I thank.

"Aw, you're welcome, honey. You guys deserve it. And her wedding date is on July 25th." Mariam speaks. "And have a happy birthday, Jaelyn." Mariam walks up to the stage and the beat resumes. Before I know it; the song that Mariam is about to sing is I Can't Help It by Michael Jackson.

Camille rushes towards me as well as Miguel, Vera, and Kandi. "We're going to California! My co-hosts and I are also going to California to be on The Real!" Camille squeals. Our friends and our family members start singing Hollywood Swinging by Kool and the Gang before it's time for the slow dance. Our fingers intertwine, producing an intimate spark at the same moment of positioning my hand on his shoulder and Danny is posturing his hand around the back left side of my waist with our arms bending upwards from the elbows before we sway back and forth.
