I was freaking out. All of my clothes were being tossed out of my suitcase and on to the floor behind me. "Where is my dress?!" I yelled to myself. I gripped my towel tightly and stood up. My hair and my body was still wet from the shower I had earlier, I pushed my hair back and looked on the floor through all the mess to see if my dress was on the floor. I could have accidentally tossed it out the suitcase while I was panicking.

Someone knocked on the door and I rolled my eyes and ignored it while walking over to the closet. I heard the knock again and yelled "I'm busy". The person knocked for the 3rd time and I walked over to the door and swung it open. "Oh my-" escaped my lips when I was greeted with a 5'11 half naked man.

His body was toned, a tight 8 pack and strong arms. He smiled at me while my eyes traveled down his body and to his v line that was being slightly exposed by the way his towel was sitting on his hips.

"You left your dress in the bathroom and I just wanted to bring it to you before I got in" he held the dress out at me. When I reached in for it our hands touched and we looked into each other's eyes.

"Uhm thank you, I was looking for it"

"No problem" he said with a bright smile. "Are you staying at the ball or do you plan to leave early?" He asked trying to make small talk. "I plan on staying the entire time, it's my first time being at a community ball".

He did a small chuckle and raised his perfectly sculpted eyebrow. "Really? Well I hope you enjoy your time. Please save me a dance Miss Corleone" he said with a smile then walked away. I smiled at him and closed the door behind me. I screamed like a school girl and quickly dried myself off and got ready for the tonight.

I walked into the ball arm and arm with Johnny. "Mask on sista and if any man tries to botha yous, yous let me know" he put on his mask and walked me towards the middle of the floor. "Johnny you made it" this blonde haired girl in a blue sparkly dress screamed. She threw herself onto him and hugged him. "I'll be back sista" he said as he took her arm and walked away. I stood there awkwardly Listening to the loud music.

Everyone around me was either dancing or chatting amongst themselves in groups. I started to head for the table that had glasses of champagne on them. A man walked into me and grabbed my shoulders to make sure I didn't fall. "My apologies I did not see you please forgive me" he said letting me go and stepping back.

The voice sounded oddly familiar. "Simon?"
"Yes? Do I know you?" He said with his hands behind his back. I pull my mask up and show him my face. "Oh Claire, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you" he takes my hand into his and kisses the top of it sending chills down my back.

"Where is your brother? Did he leave you by yourself?" Simon asked as his eyes wandered the dance floor looking for Johnny. "Sadly yes, he ran off with some blonde headed chic"

Simons raised his eyebrow and smiled "that's his girlfriend Lara" I nod my head not really caring who she was. "I'll keep you company, may I have this dance" he asked waiting with his hand out. I grabbed it and let him walk me to the middle of the floor. We danced slowly to the beautiful orchestra playing in the corner.

"So Claire where did you come from?" He asked with beautifully wet lips. I panicked trying to come up with a lie. I thought back to my honey moon and went with the fastest answer that popped into my head. "I was born in Italy then lived in Dubai for a very long" I gave him an unsure smile but I don't think he caught on.

"That's amazing Dubai is a beautiful place, I'm from England, born and raised. I just come out here occasionally to see Johnny." I'm glad he was able to hold a conversation. I was to busy trying to think of lies to come up with for every possible question.
