Him&Her

Her:8

I walked in and looked around for anyone familiar, but behind the masks no one looked familiar. It was a mystery as I watched everyone dancing, laughing, having a grand old time. Nova had left looking for Cole, I walked to the drinks as I reached for one another reached for the drink. I looked up to gaze into the most mesmerizing green eyes I had ever seen.

He let out a low chuckle that enticed me. "We seem to be matching." I smiled as I took in his suit and blue tie which indeed matched my dress.

"Seems like that doesn't it."

"Well what's your name princess?"

"That's the mystery isn't it." I retorted

"Well then I suppose, you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. Wait other way! I'll be the prince and you'll be a princess."

"I figured that's what you meant." I chuckled at his mistake. It was an adorable mistake. I saw Nova come over as she shot him a smile.

"Can I steal her for a moment?" Nova said flashing him a smile. He grinned back

"Sure. Just make sure to bring her back." I let out a little laugh and blushed as Nova chuckled and answered without missing a beat.

"I'll make sure of it" I could see her eyes were sparkling with mischief.

"Evelyn? The chemistry between you two is undeniable. Is it him? Zach?" I shrugged.

"I don't know. We just started talking."

"Mystery Prince. Well that's..." She never finished her sentence as someone yelled.

"NOVA!!!"

She cursed under her breath. "I'm gonna kill him. He is an idiot. Hasn't he tried my cell?" She look down at her phone and let out a laugh. "Seems like he did. Whoops." she gave me a smile as she called him and yelled a few things at him and used a few choice words. As she told him to meet her by the courtyard. "Evie, enjoy your night! As I go and find Cole. Meet me by the car after the last dance."

"Sure Nova." I said as she walked towards the courtyard as I walked back to the mystery prince. He was talking to some guy as his friend patted his back and walked away.

I tapped his shoulder as he turned to meet my eye. "Hello there mystery girl."

His smile made me lose my breath a bit and I could only imagine how gorgeous he was without his mask. "I didn't want to interrupt you and your friend there."

He grinned. "He was just being an idiot. No surprise there."

"Yeah, my friend went to find her boyfriend."

"The perks of being single. Friends leaving for their lovers."

I laughed. "ain't that the truth." A song started to play and the first few notes made me recognize it immediately. Taylor Swift, This Love. I listened to it for a moment and closed my eyes as I swayed to the music for a little bit. I opened my eyes to see he had a amused look in his eyes as a grin painted his face.

He smiled. "Dance with me princess." I shook her head and blushed a bit . He took my hand as I gave a small laugh.

"I'm not going dance."

He laughed as he pulled me to the dance floor. "Look where you are princess." He said as he placed his hand on my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck as we slowly swayed to the song. I wished this moment of content, this moment of freedom and mystery could last longer than now.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"For what?" He whispered.

"For everything." I said as the song ended which signaled the end of the dance. A surge of courage from who knows where came as I leaned in and kissed him on cheek as I felt him freeze. I pulled away as he stood there dazed for a moment as he grabbed my hand and smiled. "When will I see you again?"

I gave him a hopeful smile as I answered. "Soon I hope." I let go of his hand and hurried out the door with the crowd.

Part of me wanted to go back and asked who he was and tell him who I was.

But I saw Nova by the car and walked over as I slipped into the car. The smile never left my face. As she told me about her night and I told her about mine.

"Ev, your bracelet's missing."

"No it's.." I said as I glanced down at my wrist. "Oh no that was my last thing from Gran!"

"Well maybe someone found it! Maybe he has it. This is so much like Cinderella!" She squealed.

"Nova!"

"Sorry! Tomorrow we will see if it's there."

I nodded but I wasn't worried. I had a feeling he had picked it up. Maybe this was a sign I was going to see him again.

"Hey Ev, don't you want to know who he is?"

I smiled as I thought of him. " I really want to Nov."

I didn't just want to know. I needed to know he was.
