I had Finally been brave enough to ask the most gorgeous person in Washington heights John Laurens out. Of coarse for our first date he wanted to go out to the club. John Laurens was well known at this club for his amazing salsa dancing skills including me myself.
It had started when my best friend laffayete and hurcles forced me to ask him out one morning out of know where. I didn't think he would want to go out with some guy who sold coffee on the streets and who barely even spoke a full sentence to him but he did so i plan to make this night count.
"Wow um you u-uh you look great tonight!" I said as we approached the club. I was wearing a dress shirt and black pants and my converse while John was wearing a red medium length dress with a coat over it. "Alex relax just go for it" said John taking his jacket of as we entered and the club lights hit my face.
John grabbed my hands and found a beat to this Spanish song and danced. My abuela had thought me how to salsa dance once so I wasn't completely lost. "Not to bad!" Said John as he spun around
"Thanks for bringing me here I'm always busy with the store Y cada día so this is great" I said trying not to lose my words And just like that some random guy grabbed him and asked him to dance "no I'm Good " he said. "Uh um you can i really dont mind.." i said. "You sure" he said. "Yah for sure!" I said smiling. and then he grabed him and started doing this way up there moves but hey that's the club for you.
"Wow Alex you had him for about 15 minutes" said laff as I walked over to him and chugged Whatever was in his red solo cup. "Look if you want to make him notice you then go out and dance with someone. This is John Laurens were taking about. Um.. here ask that girl to dance!" Said laff pushing me towards this random girl.
"Oh um hey you look really great you
Complement me! So hey let's dance!" I said trying to act cool.
"yo no hablo ingles"
"Great!" I said as I pulled her out on the dance floor trying to remember moves as she spun and I moved my feet to match hers.
We danced for a while but I noticed guys saying stuff like "John can I get the next one! " or "la forma en que bailas is better then anyone else here!"
Which of coarse made me dance even better and trying to match John's style.
"importa si me meto" said John smiling and taking my hand.
"I must say Alex I didn't think you were the dancing type" said John as he twirled.
"What can I say I'm trying new things!" I said as I looked over to see laff and herc giving me and thumbs up.
I will defiantly be going here with John Laurens again.
(Lol this chapter was inspired by the musical in the heights which Lin Miranda also wrote and starred in also low key if you want to get into the mood for this chapter then listen to the club from In the heights lmao 😁)
