You were up in your room at your best friends Elizabeth Collins mansion. The year was 1972 and you were getting ready for a masquerade ball that their distant relative Barnabas was hosting. You had lived with them for about 4 months and you were thrilled when you learned that Barnabas was from England and love to ask him questions about what is was like over the pond. He would always either change the subject or insult the contry as a whole. You wonder why he hated his home so much but thought something horrible must have happend there so you barely bring it up anymore.
You finally got done with your outfit and make up and got dressed quickly as the ball had already begun.
You quickly put on your mask and head down stairs where you can hear ballroom music playing. "Wow.. 1972? More like 1791." You hear a low chuckle from behind you and you spin around to face a quite Handsomely dressed man.

Putting Ephesus on the darling He said bowing which made you giggle internally, laughing at how gentalmen like he was. Like he was from the 18th century.
Time skip to right after the ball ends
You were nervous to have to reveal yourself to everyone after the ball but you were also exidid about finding out that man's identity. You and him and danced and even one pretty provocatively together and you wanted to know who he was. Mabey ask him out if he was still interested in you afterward.. "Okay everyone please stand parallel from your dance partner!" A man in a normal suit and no mask said into a microphone. Everyone Abliged and quickly got into position one and a half feet away from their partners. "Three.. Two... One..... GO!"
Everyone took of their masks and I looked down as I took mine off before looking to my side seeing people kissing and hugging their partners. Most of them were couples and the ones that weren't, now were. I look at the man and gasp. It's him. Barnabas. I'm so stupid. Why didn't I think to notice that the very man that was hosting this ball was no were to be seen! "My havens..." Barnabas says as he turns pink. I blush as well as he lightly takes your face in his hand and steps closer and closer. "Barnabas..." I whisper as we both close our eyes and kiss. A few seconds later he pulls away as I make a "uh.. " sound of disipointment as he pulls away. A look of Love and passion in his eyes as he let's out a shaky breath. "Tonight was wonderfull Barnabas.." I say as I wrap my arms around his neck and peck him on the lips. He only let's out a "Mmmm.." Sound as he lightly places his hands on my hips as he pulls me closer to enjoy yet another, loveing embrace.
