Stacey.

     People, there were people everywhere i looked, from the drink stand to the various corners of the hall, everywhere was occupied.

I bit my lips, glancing around in hopes of seeing a familiar face.

"Isn't he coming?" I muttered, releasing an annoyed breath.

Something in me kept telling me that tonight was my last chance to speak to him,after tonight there was no other chance.

I groaned, standing to my feet. Seeing so many people at a charity even was a little amusing.

Since when did rich people start caring for the poor?, Or was it just a mean of meeting new investors for them?

I weaved through the sea of people, searching for a quiet place where I could get some fresh air, as it seem like I would suffocate if I stayed in the filled hall any longer.

"Excuse me!"

I said to a group of ladies giggling at a man, whose face I couldn't see clearly, I knew better than to get myself caught up amongst them.

The memories of the last time I did that wasn't in anyway pleasant.

I couldn't afford to get drunk in a party again.

When I finally found my solitude, I let out a light chuckle, it was hard getting used to social events after years of staying away from unnecessary attention, I had declined lots of party invitations over the years, especially those unnecessary and those I couldn't decline, I had Mia attend on my behalf.

I hugged myself as I felt a chill on me, must be the cold of the night and my sleeveless evening gown wasn't helping either.

I had probably go back before I missed my chance.

"Hey beautiful!" a voice said, while a hand snaked itself around my waist.

In the most possible swiftness I had, I was away from the voice.

"Who are you?" I demanded, glaring at the smirking man standing across me.

" You don't seem to waste time do you, I like it. Fiery women like you, with features I haven't yet seen," he mused, walking closer to me.

His hooded eyes sparking in mischief as he adjusted his three piece suit.

I stepped farther away from him, " you still haven't answered my question, who are you?! " I demanded again.

"That, my darling, is not important, all that is important is," He licked his lip and raked his hand through his hair. " You are too sweet to be alone in a party like this,"

" That is none of your business,"

He chuckled, " we will see," Then he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me into his arm, all in a quick swiftness that had me gasping.

He tucked my hair behind my back," white hair, " he chuckled, "well that's new,"

"Let go of me!" I tried getting out of his hold, however he tightened it more.
