I woke to an empty bed. The sheets were cold and crisp telling me they'd been empty some time. I rolled over, 11.45. "Shit" I muttered. I sat up and looked around an empty room. I checked my phone

'Hey, can't wait to see you tonight. Phoebe"

Then nothing. I didn't really know what to do with myself so I jumped in the shower and washed my hair ready for the ball in the evening. I left the towel around me and blow dried my hair messily. I was just about finished when Mark re-entered the room with a small bag

"Tell me to do one, but" he pulled out a red bow tie to match my dress "I think I would be a pretty cool plus 1" he laughed. He walked over a wrapped his hands around my waist leaning his head on my shoulders, our eyes caught contact in the mirror.

"No teacher rules" I stated

"Deal" he chuckled and kissed my neck "you bought a suit with you?" i assumed "yup" "wow, assuming that i wanted you to come then" i said bluntly causing myself to laugh slightly "i knew you would" he winked in return, walking into the bathroom.

"I bought you breakfast" he shouted

"Yummy, I'm starving" I got up and leant against the bathroom door, he opened it sharply causing me to fall in

"But I ate it cuz you were sleeping" he pushed past and left the room

" ergh I swear I hate you" I shouted after him laughing.

I decided to get ready as it was heading up to 2 and we were leaving at 6, a girl needs time! I curled my hair in loose ringlets that lay down my back, I decided to take a quick trip to the lobby to get some coffee as my back was now cramping from the funny angles I pulled to reach my long hair. I spied a Starbucks and ran in, my favourite place in the world! Ordered two caramel lattes, I remember when I pumped into Mark in the hall, literally, and he told me this Is what he drinks, I thought I'd be nice. I took them back upstairs and knocked on the door next to mine, not being 100 percent as to which side he was stopping. I was glad when he opened the door

"We're leaving at 6" I handed him the coffee looking him up and down as he wore his suit trousers and a blue tshirt

"thanks Hun" he smiled and took a sip "and no we're not I've booked a surprise, half 5 please" he smiled and shut the door in my face.

I headed back into my room and continued with a full face of makeup, spending about an hour just trying to get my new liquid eye liner to work. 'I'll decide on lipstick when I put my dress on' I thought as I stood my lipsticks along the dressing table. It was 5 now so I decided I was good to put my dress on, I'd been looking forward to this all day. I slipped it out of the suit bag and hung it on the wardrobe door. I pulled off my leggings and changed my underwear to a dark, lace pair, I didn't fancy a VPL in such a classy dress. I threw my top to the other side of the room and changed into my backless bra. The door to my room opened sharply and I spun facing away

"Jesus ever heard of knocking?!" I assumed it was Mark

"No because I would miss this view" I was right. I picked up my dress using it to cover the front of my and marched into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind me

"You're no fun" Mark whined from the other side of the door.

I stood in the dress and pulled it up so I didn't risk getting makeup on it. I smoothed it out before leaving. Mark was stood just outside in his back suit, light grey shirt and red bow tie

"Very handsome" I winked

"Very beautiful" he lent down and pecked me on the lips. I used the collar of this jacket to pull his face back to mine, our lips collided once more. I moved one hand to the backing his neck and intertwined my fingers with his hair causing him to deepen the kiss, taking control. I pulled away after things started to get heated
