Little Innocent Liar

Christmas Fun

Beautiful, crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, Christmas colored decorations, a large Christmas Tree next to the center wall, the smell of fresh pine and gingerbread and chocolate~ Oh! How wonderful!

There were so many elegant people, highly well known and rich people. I felt like one myself when people started approaching Axel.

" Why, Young Dean. Luu's greatest model." Said Yvette Delcapridon, wife of Vincent Delcapridon, Mother of Hozbaldo Delcapridon and grandmother of Shawn Hyde.

Her friends were behind her, important women and/or wives of wealthy men. She extended her hand to him.

" Pleasure to meet you." She said.

Axel took her hand and kissed the back of it.

" It's a pleasure to meet you as well. You look very lovely tonight." He said.

" Oh, you. Thank you very much. Im flattered." She chuckled.

She looked at her friends.

" This young man is the one my son has been talking about nonstop. He's going to play tonight." She looked at Axel again. " Aren't you, sweet pea?"

He nodded and smiled.

" I will be playing for tonight." He said.

" We are so delighted to hear you play, Young Dean." One of her friends said.

Mrs. Delcapridon looked at me.

" And who is this pretty young lady?" She asked with a smile.

He looked at me and back to them with a smile.

" My lovely fiancée, Madaline Zelda Amana." He said.

Mrs. Delcapridon grabbed both my hands and formally greeted me with a kiss on both cheeks.

" Pleasure to meet you, darling." She said.

" The pleasure is mine." I said.

" My, she's so beautiful. She looks as pretty and fragile as an actual doll. " She said, lifting my hands up a bit.

I giggled.

" I'm so flattered. Thank you so much." I said.

He chuckled a little.

" She is very lovely, and has such a beautiful voice as well."

" Oh? You sing?" She asked.

I nodded.

" Yes, I do."

" Will you be singing while he plays tonight?" She asked.

" O-oh, no. I couldn't. This is his night." I said.

" I don't mind, I think it'd be a wonderful idea to have you sing as I play." He looked at me and smiled.

" But--"

" Oh, how wonderful! That's so romantic!" Mrs. Delcapridon said.

" Oh, but--"

Axel leaned closer to me.

" I'm sorry for pulling you in but I know this will be a perfect opportunity for you. I'll be with you." He whispered softly to me.

I looked up at him before hugging his arm, my cheek squished against it while still looking at him with sparkles in my eyes.

" Ah, young love." Mrs. Delcapridon sighed in awe.

She then gently grabbed his other arm.

" You take good care of this young lady. Girls can be fragile little darlings. " She said to him.
