Dante

Chapter Sixteen

To say that the wedding reception is going perfectly well is not even the words I'm looking for. It feels like I'm in a Disney princess movie.

The bride is so beautiful and she looked like she could be a real life princess.

And her now husband is so handsome. I feel like they could both fit the part of Cinderella and Prince Charming.

The way she was smiling when they walked in after being called in. The amazement that shined in her eyes as she saw all the decorations.

They are a real beautiful couple.

I hope I can find a man who would look at me the way he looks at her.

They just got done with the father/daughter dance and now the have moved onto the mother/son dance.

I peaked through the curtains to see that Alec was still sitting at the table but he was by himself. The boys still haven't gotten here yet. For some reason that made me very upset knowing that Dante may not make it in time to see me perform.

I know he was seen me perform before at the girl's birthday party, but this is different. That party was just for some rude and crazy knuckle head high schoolers.

But this is different.

This is somebody's wedding. A one in a life time celebration and I cannot mess this up.

That's why I wanted Dante to be here. Not only to see me perform a Spanish song, but for me not to get too nervous and mess up.

Even though I would never tell him this but Dante is like my good luck charm.

And at this moment I needed my good luck charm.

Moving away from the curtains I ran my hands over my face and let out a ragged sigh.

I could feel my heart racing and beating fast. It felt like it wanted to pump out of my chest and run away.

I don't know why I'm actually acting like, I have sung this song a million times and I have performed in front of people a million times.

Why am I so nervous right now? My hands are sweating and it's like I can't even breathe.

I know after this song is over, I'll be next to sing and I don't know what to do.

It's been a while since I sung this song. The last time I sung the song was when I was younger for my parents. And that's when my parents were alive.

Hopefully I can still remember the lyrics. Because now was not the time to forgot those lyrics.

"Hola pequeña mamá, respira. Lo vas a hacer bien." One of the mother's brother who I learned who's name was José. I nodded my head and started to take deep breaths like I was told.

"Hey, before you sing just breath in and out. Then look over your shoulder and nod your head to give us the cue that you're ready." Halgo, the one who plays the bongos told me. I nodded my head in again feeling better already.

"Alright everyone, I'm glad y'all are having a good time. I know I am. Before I introduce our next act on the program. I would like to say that I am very happy for my daughter and my new son-in-law. Y'all deserve each other and I know y'all will live a happy life." I heard the father say to his daughter and her husband.

"Now that I got that out of the way. Men, grab your woman and let's get ready to get this party started!!" He yelled in the microphone before placing back on the stand. Well, here we go.

The curtains was pulled back and I was now in front of the microphone. Everyone was clapping and that only made me even nervous. Everyone was looking nice in their dresses and crispy suits.
