#dirty dancing Havana nights

[fangirlfilmclub]

What we watched: Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights.

Who we watched it for: Diego Luna.

What we thought: Even Diego Luna, being the embodiment of sunshine and light could not make this movie remotely watchable.

And while this film is...shockingly bad, it is the first recommendation we've received. So, thank you for the rec, @aimmyarrowshigh! You said it was a tragedy and in that regard, it did not disappoint!

DIRTY DANCING HAVANA NIGHTS (2004) dir. Guy Ferland

[diamonddolljeanette]

My tiny headcanon for Javier and Katey is this:

For a about a year after Katey left, Javier tries to move on with his life in Cuba but he can't get over her. The scent of her perfume, her soft blonde hair in his face and the way her hips felt in his hands still haunted him.

So his mother scrapes together the money she can, along with convincing Carlos to help send him to America to find Katey.

He shows up at the home address that she gave him just before Christmas, around the anniversary of their first meeting and Katey has just returned from her first year of college for winter break.

She is overjoyed to see him, even though she had tried to immerse herself in her studies her mind wandered to those hot Cuban nights with her body pressed against his as they let their bodies feel the music.

They spend Christmas together, Katey teaching him everything about the American traditions along the way and words he wasn't sure on. And of course dancing and kiss under a sprig of mistletoe included.

Before she returns to college for the spring semester she helps him find a apartment in her town, with the help of her parents of course. Javier finds a honest job as a mechanic at a local auto shop and every night includes a call from Katey, telling him about what she was studying.

That summer, is a summer of love for them. Reconnecting in more ways than one and on one summer night, a well saved up for ring appears. Of course Katy says yes,but only under the condition that she can finish college before they wed.

Javier isn't surprised by her request and had expected it so he had been putting away a little extra so he could move to the city where her college was so they could see each other more then just on college breaks.

That and Carlos may have wired him a little extra but it wasn’t like he didn't deserve it, finally coming around to the idea that his brother was Cuban American now.

So three years later our King and Queen of the dance floor were found owning it once more but now as Mr. and Mrs. Suarez.

.

.

you met him at the latin club downtown. he was pretty handsome, you thought, as he pressed his hips against the woman he was dancing with. you had been practically dragged here by James and Katey when they came that Saturday night, and you sat with them - feeling like a third wheel as you looked at their joined hands - sipping at a mix of iced tea and lemonade.

after the dance was over you wanted to go talk to him. Katey immediately noticed where you were looking and her eyebrows raised to the ceiling (almost).

the boy suddenly looked in your direction, noting the pink-red blush on your cheeks when he smiled at you. instead of coming over like you would have expected, though, he began to dance again, this time only looking in your direction.

the woman he chose didn't seem to mind, although you started to when you saw him gaze down at her for a moment, eyes hooded, long lashes just brushing his cheeks. from where you were in the room you could see exactly how his head dipped under her jaw - not to kiss there, just to tease you - and his brown eyes peered through the curtain of her hair, connecting with yours.

when he finished you couldn't quite tell if you felt so hot from jealousy or being flustered. the way he swayed his hips as he came over, running a hand through his hair, sent another wave of it down your spine (he was definitely flustering you).

"hello." he held a cold glass in one hand, and you could see the condensation dripping from his palm. your eyes raised to meet his, nodding your acknowledgement shyly. a little smile appeared on his lips.

"i saw you watching me," his comfortable chocolatey gaze turned different in a moment, and you couldn't identify what changed, "d'you like to dance?"

"yes." the first words you'd spoken. great going, me. way to be the most basic girl he's ever met.

Katey and James stared from across the table. the boy turned to them. "would you mind if i took your friend to dance?" Katey shook her head no. James said, "i'm fine. ask her."

so he did. he came up very, very close and said softly, "will you dance with me, bonita?" and of course you said yes. after all who wouldn't want to dance with the most handsome boy in the club?

"i'm not good at this sort of dance," you confessed as he led you away, "only the classical kind. my parents taught me." he laughed. "you will learn. i will teach you." and his hand slipped down to your hip, pulling you close to himself.

as an American who had lived a pretty sheltered life, you gasped at the feeling of him so close. you'd never been allowed out to parties or gatherings that weren't chaperoned or had drinks. this was genuinely a new experience, one that you hoped (and were now quite sure) that you'd enjoy.

he started to roll his hips a little, pushing you back without ever using his hands. you just followed his lead and everything clicked. he stepped, you stepped; he pushed, you moved; he pulled, you came to him. twirling and moving and stepping in sync was the one thing you wanted in a dance partner, and you got it.

oh, you got it.

you got it so much that at some point he had your leg hitched over his hip, supporting your weight with his body. he curled over you in the same position he had the other woman: tucking his head into the crook of your neck, cradling the small of your back with his hand. so close that all you had to do was move just a little bit and his crotch would make contact with you.

needless to say you did move, enough to drive him feral. he turned you around, pressing his chest against your back, and guided your hips to do it again, purring in your ear.

you rolled your hips on his again and again, relishing in the sweet noises he tried to muffle against your skin. he started to reciprocate, his hands pulling you back so he could grind between your legs.

you must have looked a sight, arms around his neck, hips grinding onto his like a common prostitute; his arm snaked up around your side and between your cleavage, the other keeping your clit pressed tight to the tent in his pants. if your mother saw you now you didn't know what she would do. disown you, probably.

you didn't even dare to look back to where Katey and James sat. they were probably gaping if not looking away for politeness' sake. you just let yourself get lost in this boy, leaning back against him and immersing yourself in the sight of his chocolate eyes rolling back, accompanied by a delicious noise.

the two of you would have stayed there forever, swaying slightly, slowly building your pleasure, but a phone rang somewhere and you were snapped out of it.

realizing how late it was, you quickly apologized and excused yourself, leaving your partner on edge and extremely aroused. he caught your wrist as you began to leave.

"here," he handed you a piece of paper with an address, "you can find me here. what's your name?"

you told him.

grinning, he curled his body around yours one last time, holding your hips to his. "i'm Javier. come see me tomorrow night?" you nodded your agreement and smilingly kissed his cheek - dangerously close to his mouth - and departed towards your friends.

In honor of quasi-forcing my friends to watch this with me tonight… I bring you Javier Suarez, baby Lucy’s first real Diego Luna love.

[gillianthecat]

Should I watch Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights for Diego Luna? It's been on my to-watch list for (checks IMDB)... 19 years, and I never got around to it. But I just (re)watched the trailer and I think the story is going to annoy the heck out of me. But Diego Luna!

(Dirty Dancing, the real one, is the movie I've seen the most times of any movie. It was formative in my adolescence, and it holds up rewatching as an adult. This is not going to be that.)

Anyone for a Diego Luna and Succession crossover? How about the time Diego met Naomi Pierce (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) at a Teen Vogue screening of Dirty Dancing Havana Nights in 2004?

Happy Succession Series Finale Day!
