Trapped In Lace

Fifty Five

"So how fancy is this dinner then?" I ask talking to Alex on FaceTime.

"According to Emily not gown ball gown fancy but dress nice fancy" Alex says before pulling a face, "but I don't know what that means"

I chuckle, "just dress nice, not fancy like a full on suit but trousers and a shirt probably"

"What are you wearing?" He asks

"Ooo kinky" i say and he laughs

"For tomorrow but if you want to go there" he says and i blush looking away and he laughs.

"Lily, dinner!" Thea shouts from downstairs and I sigh

"I've got to go" i tell him and he nods

"See you later lil" he says and i nod with a smile before hanging up.

I can't get that guy out of my head... what's his name?

Ezra.

He can't know who I am right?

He can't, maybe it's just a nickname...

"Fuck" i grumble before I head downstairs into the dining room.

It's been half an hour since dinner and I walk past Lucas office and he calls me in.

"What's up?" I ask peering in the doorway

"Come in and shut the door lily" he says

"I- okay" i say before sitting down across from him, I look at him and he had a serious face on.

"What's wrong, you didn't say a word all dinner" he says and I sigh

"I'm going out for dinner tomorrow night, one of Alex's friends invited us. And he called me Princess, I don't know if it was a nickname or if he just knows who I am" i say

"Have you met him before?" He asks me and i shake my head

"I just know he's called Ezra... that's it" i say and he nods

"I would do a security check but the systems are down here and in London, they aren't going to be back up and running till mid next week" he tells me and i nod

"Are you nervous?" He asks and i nod, "I could send some undercover security to go with you?"

"You don't mind do you? I just I don't know what I'm getting myself into, it's probably nothing but... you know. He just kind of creeped me out because I've never met him" i say

"I have some new agents rising up through the systems, they are your age. We can class this close security as their first mission" he tells me and i nod

"How do I know who they are?" I ask

"They will give you your drinks as soon as you arrive" he tells me and i nod

"Tell them not to be on my toes though, we don't want a repeat of the failed date scenario of 2018 do we?" I ask and he laughs

"I will tell them to keep a distance" he says and i nod

"Thanks Luca" i say and he smiles

"No problem kid" he says before I leave his office.

It's now the next day, I'm all dressed and ready for this dinner dance thing and I'm walking down the stairs and see Luca talking on the phone in his office.

I walk towards the door and he spots me lingering and he waves me in.

I walk inside and sit on a chair.
