Chapter Nine- The Dinner

        Jennifer awoke to the sound of someone banging on her door. Quickly jumping up, she went to the door-in hopes that it was Colin. Lazily taking her hair, she threw it into a ponytail before opening the door. 

        "Surprise baby." Sebastian said before pulling her into him and kissing her. Across the hall, Colin opened his door and found the make-out session. Placing his gaze onto her, he recollected the night prior before he turned back into his room. She opened her eyes in just enough time to see the door close. 

        "What are you doing here?" She asked as she tried to sound excited.

        "Wanted to give you this..." He said as he handed her a small black box. Opening it, she found it to hold beautiful diamond stud earrings. "It's not the custom ones I attempted to get, but better than nothing." He said as he sat on the bed. "Come, let me see you...I only have a few minutes before I am supposed to be in a question session...been on a long flight...feeling a little..."

        As he sat there, she noticed a faint stain on his collar.

        "What is that?" She asked as she pointed it out.

        "Just a stain...spilled wine on it last night..."

        "Wine? Since when do you drink?"

        Pulling her close to him, he began kissing her neck, but she pushed him off.

        "I'm not feeling lovey-dovey right now...I have to meet with the producers...I'll talk to you later..."

        Leaving the room, she made her way to the conference to find Colin nowhere to be found. Desperately wanting to ask on his whereabouts, she was tearing at the seems. Biting on her pencil, wrapping her finger around her hair, and moving her legs up and down she began to grow anxious.

        "Just so you know, your colleague, Colin, is not feeling well and will not be answering any questions today. That being said, that should keep the rest of you on track. Any questions? Good, see you tonight at the dinner?"

        "Dinner?" Jennifer asked as she took the pencil from her mouth.

        "Yes, the cast dinner. The masquerade dinner. Your costumes are of your choosing, designer will be here at one to form fit you specifically. Just a fun thing for the cast, let off some steam and celebrate our success."

        She nodded before making her way back to her room. By the time the meeting had ended, Sebastian had left. Jennifer anxiously awaited one before there was a knock on her door. A woman in long brown hair with expensive clothing that mesmerized Jennifer, entered the room with a container on rolling wheels.

        "Jennifer?" She asked in a strong Italian accent.

        Nodding, she began her work already. Custom making a dress for Jennifer.

        "I heard you work with your beau, is that true?"

        Nodding, she decided to try to evade the question.

        "He is handsome..."

        "Thank you..."

        "And that accent..must make things interesting..."

        "Accent? Oh no...I am with Sebastian. He plays the mad hatter..."

        "The man you were with last night...he was the pirate..not the hatter...'

        Not making anymore conversation, she finished up the measurements and told her that her dress would be there later that night.

        Eight o'clock and there was a knock on her door. There was a box with her name on it. Graciously, she opened it and found there to be a sexy white and tight dress concealed beneath the tissue paper. Sliding it over her body, she looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but smile.

        "Wow..." she said before picking up the white mask that went with it.

        Making her way down to the concert hall, she entered the room to find all eyes on her. She saw her fellow cast and the crew members to see that there was no Colin. Sad that he was not present, she went to sit at the bar. Not ordering, she lingered with her thoughts until she felt the gentle touch of a hand on her shoulder. Turning, she saw it to be him. The Irish pirate, the one she had been fighting her feelings for, her masked interest.

        "Dance with me?" He asked, extending his hand in front of her.
