An Invite On A Weeknight (Part 2)

I hurriedly gathered my bag and jacket and indeed, in less than 5 minutes I was standing at a street corner fronting Cafe Adriatico. A few paces away I found Starbucks and waited for Freda and Vernie as they were still on their way over. It has been 2 weeks since the 3 of us last went out together. They arrived a few moments later. After our usual 'beso-beso' and a quick chat, we were all ready.
We headed to Ciboney Cafe Bar & Restaurant, which offers salsa and ballroom music on Tuesday nights. The salsa group members that regularly meet up in this club had just finished their session and were on their way home. Nevertheless, we proceeded to the club which was playing Swing music. After awhile, they played salsa music for us. No time was wasted and we were then on the dance floor swaying the night away.
At certain times during the night, ballroom music was played and 2 pairs of dancers hit the floor. The ladies were quite of age (I guessed, 60-ish) and their partners were young men (maybe in their late 20's) who were clearly DI's (Dance Instructors). Everytime they danced we were quite entertained by their moves and rehearsed combinations. Later, we noticed that the ladies had a change of attire and it was just fun watching them dance. It was not until later that I realized it was already half past midnight!
We rested a bit and went on our way back to Starbucks. Vernie had a Venti Mocha Frappuccino, Freda chose a Tall Rhumba Cream and I got myself a Grande Green Tea Frappuccino. After our enjoyable non-stop dancing, it was a relief to just sit down, sip our drinks and talk about anything that comes to mind. Too bad it was a weeknight, we had to cut the 'meeting' short and get ourselves some sleep or suffer at work the next morning. So that was how our 'gimik' turned out.
Mobile phone beeped at 3am.
