89. Stuck

The day of the ball rolls around Dipak is still refusing to tell me he likes my shoes. Tye went over to his castle to get ready.

I have a white ball gown that has gold embellishments everywhere. The gloves look the same. It's all paired with a gold tiara and jewelry. Even my shoes are gold. I really do love them. They have clear gem stones on them. The veil is white and see through with gold all around the edges. The gown is strapless again and the gloves come all the way up my arms so the veil covers all my shoulders.

I walk out of my ready room and Dipak is still no where to be found. "He's meeting us there little miss. Something about something. I don't really remember."

I nod at Mary and we go to the carriage. She rides with me and we watch out the windows. Kane drives our carriage.

We get there and Dipak opens my carriage door. I give him a dirty look right away. "I had to finalize the stuff here so I flew over a bit ago." I nod and he helps me out of the carriage.

I walk down the hallway and Dipak stops to talk to King Yanin. I look at Tye. "Door knob?"

He nods his head. He looks bored as hell.

Dipak puts me in our house sitting room then just runs off. That makes me feel bad. He talks to everyone but me. Why did he even want to come with me? He didn't even tell me I'm pretty. Maybe he didn't want to come at all.

Our house goes in 2nd. We are walking in right behind the Yanin house. So Tye ends up ahead of us, in the hallway.

Once I get lined up. Dipak finally joins me and stands beside me. I show him my shoes. "Do you like my shoes?"

"I do not have time for that."

I have just had enough. I don't even want to go with him. He is being such an ass. I walk up and grab the door knob from Tye. He just stares at me and watches me walk away with her. I walk her all the way back to Dipak and stand her by him. "This is the commander of the northern fleet. He's being an asshole. Good luck." She looks at me with these wide eyes.

Dipak tries to say something to me but I just put my hand up and walk back to Tye. Everyone from my table is now trying to figure out what is going on so they are getting kind of loud.

Tye looks at me.

"He wants to be an asshole, I will give him a door knob." Tye and his parents who are standing right behind us bust out laughing.

Dracul and Thora walk up to us. There is only 1 couple left in front of me and Tye we are going in fast. Dracul looks at me. "Stop changing the lineup." He grabs me and pulls me away from Tye.

I hear the king ask "What is going on back there?"

Then I hear Thora. "Something about a door knob and a shoe." They all bust out laughing again.

Frode walks by me to get Thora. All I hear is. "BACK OFF! I'M ON A DATE WITH A PRINCE. I WILL STAB YOU WITH MY SHOE FRODE!"

Nearly everyone in the hallway cracks up laughing. She drags Tye in the ballroom.

King and Queen Yanin walk in next. Followed by Gunner and his date. Then Omar and Ylle. Then Bud and Prinna. Then Tre and Elkie. Then Frode and the door knob. Then Dipak and Asa. Then me and Dracul. Then momma and daddy.

As soon as I clear the doorway with Dracul. Tye and Thora both bust out laughing. When we walk by them Thora looks at me. "At least we all got in the door." I nod at her.

I sit down at a little table with Dracul. I glare at him. Asa walks up to me and I stand up and let her sit down.

I walk over and make Elkie get up. "You're with Dipak now." She walks over and sits with Dipak.
