Phoebe Taylor's pov:

Surprised I had the green light to find someone new, maybe that was her way of getting me back in the fold?  The party light was flittering around the air, and they looked so bright. I knew in my heart I had someone waiting for me at home, but then again I felt like mum, I felt like I had a way into my family again and that was something I couldn't give up. I while ago wanted a change so I had gotten my hair dyed jet black, I wanted to stand out away from my sisters.

 Maybe there was still hope for me, and my family but. I didn't move fast enough I had a spill on my lovely dress. I looked up to find a tall man standing over me. Watching me. "Excuse me, how dare you!" He just grinned to himself and had a devilish smile about him. "O Im sorry your highness."  I roll my eyes "No your not." I say. He stumbled around me "Do you not have friends you could bother?" He still stares into my eyes not leaving them, "I sure do, but I tend to want to stay here in your presence."  I didn't realize then it was Leo Collin, my sister's husband's friend.

"Leo?" I say staring at him once more he grins at me with that devilish smile once more, "Hey you." "What are you doing?" "Leading you into a dance." When I looked over the table I saw my mother looking pleased with herself.

I felt different, I saw the rest of Leos clang, around a table. We joined them, Leo pulling the chair out for me. I nodded and sat down he pulled me in. I was with Wendy with my little niece. I pulled my arms up and she gave me Jasmine. I played with her lovely dark hair. I saw my phone buzzing with Coles's name popping up, I froze for that second. just watching. I just watched it and put it in my bag. I gave Jas back to Hunter. I saw the pretty lights outside so I got up and made my to the garden, in the evening time the sky looks so pretty, with stars glistering. 

I looked up at the blue blue sky. I felt at peace for once in my life. I felt a touch, I felt hands touching my elbow, I turned and it was Leo. "Phoebe, why did you leave?" I replied by looking up "Just look, Leo, isn't it lovely? Such a lovely view." I'll say." He mutters at me looking into my eyes. He said no words just actions. Quick movements. Fast. His lips met mine, the excitement of this, how new this was. I just wasn't thinking, but I liked this. I thought it could be something that my family would be proud of and want me because of that. How I wanted to be wanted by them, If I stay with him, had a life with him. So because of that only I kissed him back, embarking on something I had no clue would work.

We were in a room upstairs with doors closed, he stood so close he was taking me in, and I felt something. His hands went along my body, toying with me, playing with my skin. He breathes me in, getting into my corset, trying. The light caught his eyes and mine, I saw his dark shade of brown puddles of brown eyes looking into my soul. My hand goes over his cheek. He pulls me up and we head to a bed, he gently drops me on the bed. Then he joins me. I lean over to him "How did we get here?" I ask him he turns to me "It all started with one dance." 

Prince Freddie Taylors Pov:

I had made conversations with many women, a lot of different families, of mothers wanting to marry their daughters off. But in the back of my mind was that chestnut brown-haired girl, her smile. Her essence. Was uncontrollable. I knew too damn well my mother would faint by this, but I wanted to be happy I think I could be with her, but maybe I should do as she wishes than have this other girl just for myself. I met someone who was from a good family, her name was Mary. I thought I could show that we were starting something but I wanted someone else.

I went out back in the darkness and saw someone who was cleaning tables, I stopped then. Maybe it could be her? I watched her. I saw her chestnut hair. "Are you well Miss?" She looked at me and then realized "Oh your highness, do you wish for anything?"  "I wish to know your name." "My name is Rachel Louis." I grinned "May I be so bold Rachel to ask you to dinner next week?" "You may but-." She tried to find some excuse. "Perfect I will meet you here precisely at 8;00 next Friday?"
