"Kith?" Erin called softly

"Kith?" Erin called softly.

He turned his head and looked at her.

She chuckled when he fixed his eyes on her again. "Let me guess. I look different. Am I right?" she asked, giggling.

"Yeah" he answered, not taking his eyes off her.

"You look different too." she told him.

He looked at himself and felt a bit embarrassed. "I just got this idea when I saw my dad went out wearing like this." he reasoned.

"Let me try to describe you. Um... If this is a fairy tale... you're the dashing prince in the castle, and I'm your princess." she said, giggling.

He smiled slightly. "No... You're not the princess."

Her expression changed. "Huh?" she reacted.

He came closer to her and put his one hand on the back of her waist. "You're not the princess... You're the girl who wrote the story... The prince did not fall in love with the princess... because he's already in love with the girl who made him a prince." After he said that, he showed her a sweeter smile, then he kissed her on the forehead.

She felt as if she was talking to a real prince at that moment. She was captivated by his alluring words again. "I could listen to you all day." she said, looking at his staring eyes.

He chuckled.

Inside the venue, they were escorted to a small round table. When their food was served, they ate in a composed and relaxed manner.

In a short while, the mood of the songs turned sweet and mellow. Other couples at the party began to go to the center floor and danced following the soft beats of the music.

"Would you like to go there?" Kith asked when he saw Erin was looking at them.

"Yes" she answered right away.

He got up from his chair and took her hand. On the dance floor, among the other guests, they stood facing each other.

She put her hands on his shoulders and his on her waist. Under the gleaming lights above them, they danced gracefully as they were looking at each other's eyes.

When Erin felt too much intimacy from his tantalizing gaze, she pressed her body against his and embraced him. "I love you" she whispered in his ear.
