Fate is nasty thing (Bal)

Chapter 8

GUYS IT IS AMAZING! I like to read and create at the same time so I typed in 'Bal' and this story was NUMBER TWO! Thank you guys so much for reading. Now back to the story...

Mal's P.O.V

I woke up early this morning Evie was doing something and wouldn't tell me what. She just told me to go to the second ball room in 3 hours. Audrey had called to cancel the dress shipping because her mom and dad were off doing some royal stuff so they could come. She really wants her mom to be there. She said that she would call us to reschedule. I hung out with Carlos and Jay for about an hour. Two hour late I found myself walking to the second ball room to meet Evie, like I had planned. But j was a little late so I was running when I bumped into someone carrying about ten stacks of paper. All the papers fell. Ooops.
"I'm so sorry." I said without looking at the persons face.
"No it's my fault." The voice said back. I automatically knew the sweet, safe voice. It was Ben. He looked up at me. I went back to picking up the papers. We both grabbed the same one, and the tips of our fingers touched. It tingled. Letting go of the paper, I pulled away. I stood up gathering some papers in my hands, and Ben did the same. I handed him the pile I picked up, and he smiled at me. Oh I've missed this smile. STOP MAL. You were ever in love with him, you guys needed the wand, but that didn't happen so I don't know what to believe. He was still smiling his perfect smile.
"Thank you." He still smiled.
"Yeah." I hesitated, looking into those blue eyes. I basically ran away from him, towards the ball room. Was I just nervous? No of course not, i mean I haven't been nervous around Evan.
I ran into the ball room, were I found Evie on her phone. "SORRY IM LATE!" I shouted running to Evie. She looked up.
"Did you just run a marathon or have you always breathed really heavily?" E asked while putting away her phone.
"No I ran into Ben." I told her. She smirked.
"Sgat did you guys talk about." she asked, with some excitement in her voice.
"No, I literally ran into him. Like we bumped into each other." I explained. Her face dulled.
"Oh." I nodded, "So why did you want to meet me?" She asked standing up. "And why in the ball room."
"Um, the ball room is at the far end of the castle E, so not a lot if people will be by here. And I think Evan is going to ask me to be his girlfriend!" I smiled waiting for her relation. She smiled at me.
"That's great! But what do you need me for?"
"I don't know what to wear, ad I also needed the ball room because of the space." I smirked at her. At that cue, three servants came through the doors, with racks and racks of clothes. Evie looked as it she won the lottery.
"WOW!" She said jumping up
And down. "Where did you get all of these." She asked again tuning over to inspect the clothes.
"Well, Audrey has some connections." I smiled walking over to her. "So." I clasped my hands together. "Can you pick me out some thing that says, "Ready to take on the world?" I asked thinking about what I just said.
"I don't know what that means exactly, but ill try." E nodded and started going through the clothes.
About three minutes of silence later, E finally spoke.
"Mal." Evie spoke quietly. "Mal." She repeated walking towards me with something behind her back. "You have to see this." she said breathlessly. I stopped shuffling and Looked at My best friend. When she pulled the dress out behind her back I could feel my eyes basically falling out of my eyes. It was amazing. We both stood there silent; staring at the beautiful dress. It was strapless, with a sweetheart neckline. Purple, of course. It was also short, and the top was bejeweled. Now I'm not one for sparkly things, but wow. It honestly took my breath away.
"It's beautiful E." I said after taking the dress from her.
"Go try it on." She commanded. I nodded and ran to the little door that was just to the left of the ball room.

Ben's P.O.V

I have to stop by Evie and talk to her about something she's doing for Audrey.
"Matilda!" I hollered, knowing she was somewhere close.
"Yes King Ben?" She asked running towards me.
"Have you seen Evie?" I asked looking at my watch.
"She went to the ballroom." Matilda answered.
"Which one?" I asked.
"The second." I thanked her, and scurried to the second Ballroom. I ran really fast and found Evie, inspecting like, seven racks if clothes.
"Hey..." I trailed of when I reached her.
"Hi Ben." She looked up for a second, but went back to her clothes.
"Where did you get these?" I asked.
"I have connections." she stated.
"Oh I was suppose..." A sweet voice cut me off.
"E" It said. With my back towards the door, Evie shot up like a rocket. Her concentrated face, turned into a happy one. I turned to see what was happening and I saw Mal. As beautiful as Ever.
"Wow." Evie started. "You look," I stole the word.
"Perfect."
