Emily's POV

Often I have daydreamed about being rescued by a dashing guy, perhaps from an accidental fall or even a speeding car. I never quite expected to be the one rescuing the guy, that is until now.

I jumped in my seat startled as a cry from my right sounded and a muscular boy of my age, who lost his balance, fell right on my lap.

He looked at me, his face red from embarrassment and stood up quickly.

"Well, it's nice to meet you too". I joked and winked at him.

He smiled sheepish and muttered a sorry. I nodded, accepting the apology, when I felt something wet slide down my legs. I looked down and stared at horror as the glass of water he accidentally spilled on me started to spread, staining my unfortunately white pants, giving the wrong impression.

I stood up quickly and walked away from the crowd, the boy following me.

I cursed as I looked at the damp spot and tried to raid my bag, looking for tissue or anything at all that can save me from any further embarrassment. I was about to consider just leaving the party when I heard a cough from the background.

I turned around and saw the boy holding a couple of paper towels. I smiled gratefully at him and used the paper towels he offered me to try to mop up the water on my  jeans. 

  "Em! Are you alright?"  A short brunette girl appeared at my side and all of the sudden my vision was flooded with loud neon colors from her equally loud  clothes. It was Amber, my best friend since forever.

She took one look at me and the boy and immediately understood. That was Amber for me, she always understood the situation, no matter how crazy it sounded.

"You poor thing!" she cried, as she helped me mop up the liquid on my pants. I smiled cheerfully and replied, "It's fine. I'm okay after all, I got to meet this dashing boy over there. Speaking of which, what is your name?" 

He smiled slyly and bowed gracefully,

"Madame, I am Aaron. I must say I am pleased to make your acquittance even by the most embarrassing situation that ever happened in my life. I send my deepest apologies to your damp pants."

I looked at him weirdly and burst out laughing.

Well, I couldn't say i did not like Aaron's style.

" I am Emily.I too am pleased to meet your acquittance and my jeans most heartily accept your sincere apology." I curtsied, pretending to gently hold a fluffy skirt with my fingers.

He laughed and, grabbing my hand, gave it a light kiss.

Damn, Aaron had style.

He winked at me and said, "If I may, I would like to offer the princess a drink at the bar."

I giggle and replied coyly, "I would love to but sir does realize it wouldn't cost a dent in his wallet because it is paid by the host."

"Exactly." He grabbed my hand and used his other hand to wave the way towards the bar. I looked at Amber meaningfully and left with him.

I ordered plain orange juice and held the cup with both of my hands, liking the feeling of the cool drink. I looked at Aaron suddenly observing how handsome, well built and posh he looked, especially in his suit.
