Aurora: Derived from the Latin aurora (dawn). The name was borne by the Roman mythological goddess of dawn and by the princess in the popular fairy tale Sleeping Beauty.

Aurora's P.O.V

"Is it possible that a Goddess resides upon us? Or are you a making of Aphrodite's hand with such defined beauty."

The stranger's words made my body shiver, as the words escaped his mouth with that velvet texture, as he purred into my ear. I stood in shock, my eyes widening as the music continued playing in the background. His fingers slowly traced up my sides, giving that electric feeling to run inside me at his touch, as his fingers were now running up my arm.

"I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream." He purred.

His fingers were now on my shoulder, slowly tracing their way up my neck, as he pushed my hair to the side. The tension, building an intense spark within the small distance between us.

"I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a dream." He continued singing.

"Who are you?" I uttered out, yet I didn't dare turn around to look at him.

"Why, don't you remember me? We've met before."

"We have?"

"Indeed." He purred against my ear.

Before I can say another word, his hand quickly reached down to my wrist, gently turning me around to face him, my eyes coming in contact with a pair of chestnut hazel orbs, his lips curving into a small smirk. I cocked my head sideways as I inspected his features, the beautiful ivory tan colored skin, the perfectly combed quiff, and mainly just those eyes that drove me insane as they hid behind the black mask. Saying he looked good in a tux was an understatement.

"Zayn?" I questioned.

"Hello Aurora." He chuckled.

For some reason the way my name rolled of his tongue sounded so sexy to me right now, it was a turn on. Wait. What the fuck am I saying?

"You look ravenous."

"You mean ravishing?" I corrected.

"No." He laughed. "Ravenous."

"What are you doing here?" I asked annoyingly.

"What are you doing here?" He mocked.

"I asked first."

"Why are you here with Louis?" He asked.

"Because he asked me to be his date. Wait, how do you know about that? Were you eavesdropping earlier today." I chuckled.

"No." He spat, his jawline tensing.

"Are you jealous?" I snorted.

"Ofcourse not. I can care less Rora. Don't get carried away now."

"Says the asshole who avoided me for a week and is now talking to me like nothing." I spat out, as I turned around to walk away.

I felt a gentle tug on my wrist, making me to turn around and look at him.

"Dance with me yeah?"

"Malik, your mood swings are seriously driving me crazy, therefore I shall not dance with you. Now if you may excuse me, I'd truly appreciate if you let go of me." I snapped.

But did he let go of me? No he didn't. At my words, Zayn chuckled as he pulled me in to him, making me face him as he placed a hand on my lower back, his other hand entwining with mine, as I was forced to place my hand on his shoulder.
