Having my birthday dinner close to school starting isn't something I like, but at least Mar is with me now :)

We end up back at my house with the rest of my family. They take shots, listen to some music, and dance.

Ma: i think it's time we listen to some salsa, eh?!

Pa: ah, yes yes.

He takes my moms hand as Mattia says, "hey Alexa play salsa music!"

We see my mom and dad start dancing together, and soon enough my aunt and uncles were too.

Mar: shall we.

He puts out his hand and I grab it.

We start dancing fast. I look over and see Anastasia trying to teach Mattia how to salsa.

Mar: maybe we should help him?

Mila: yeah... well. I'll try

I let go of Mar and go up to Mattia.

Mila: you're a terrible dancer, you know.

Anastasia: maybe you should teach him.

Mattia: hell nah, let my girl teach me.

I back away nodding my head. I walk over to Mar who is now dancing with my Aunt Carina.

Mila: stealing my man, Aunt Carina?

AC: oh, he's a great dancer. And so am I.

I laugh. I go up to my little cousins and start dancing with them. I teach them foot work and other dances. They caught on quickly.

This is the life. My boyfriend gets along with my family, the family is having fun, and Mattia still doesn't know how to dance... well he knows tik tok dances... i guess that counts.

After a few songs, my parents played their wedding song. I grab Mar's hand and start dancing slowly with him.

Mar: you're a great dancer mamas.

Mila: surprisingly, you are too.

Mar: what is that supposed to mean?

Mila: well, your tik toks where you dance are eh.

Mar: ok, i get it. I'm not a good dancer.

Mila: right now you are. So it's okay.

He smiles and gives me a quick kiss.

Pa: no kissing when I'm around!

Mar's face got red and he looked away.

Mila: he's messing with you. It's fine.

I start laughing. We go into the living room where Mattia and Anastasia are making tik toks.

Mar: fuck, it's already 11:30. My moms gonna beat my ass.

Mila: oh, okay. Well I'll walk you out.

He saw the look of disappointment on my face.

Mar: i mean... i can see if I can sleepover if you want.

I smile and squeeze his face.

Mila: we are using your tv Mattia.

Mattia: no you're not.

Before he could stop us I was dragging Mar down the stairs. Mattia started chasing after us, but stops midway.

Mattia: whatever, just, don't do anything...
