Just Another Beauty: Ch.8

Issac's POV:

I think I've tied my tie for almost an hour. That's just how nervous I am. There's a knock on my door. “Come in!”I shout.

I hear a faint giggle which comes from Hannah, “Here, let me try.” she reaches over and starts doing my tie the right way. I smile as she finishes up.

“There, now wasn't that easy?” she pats my arm as she stands before me. She was wearing a purple gown that hugged her waist perfectly and her loose brown hair was in curls.

“You look beautiful.” I comment,

She smiles shyly. “You don't look bad yourself either. Come on, we have to get to the party. King Samuel and Queen Rachel's sons have arrived!” she smiled once again, as she reached for my hand.

“I really don't want to.” I say to her, but she pulls me anyway.

“You'll be alright.”

Really? She had no idea of the feelings I have for Julie. I hardly know her, but that touch told me a lot. They way her golden brown eyes sparkle. Her smile makes my heart beat faster.

Hannah, on the other hand. She's great, I might even like her, but there's no spark, if you know what I mean. She's like a friend of mine from a long time ago, but I can change right?

I can fall for Hannah.

Julie POV:

“You look beautiful tonight, Princess.”

“I love the way you came, Princess.”

“Oh my! You didn't bring anybody with you?”

These are the comments I get once I step inside the Annual Party. This party is suppose to be set on Hunter and Holden, but unfortunately they're all fixed on my love life. I would usually smile and say my thanks, or I would just pretend I was sad for having no one.

Danny, is off in the back yard. No one is suppose to know about our plan. Well, except for Holden and Hunter and the staff. After I get one last compliment and a sad pity face I walk down toward the back doors.

“There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you.” I sigh,

Danny is playing thumb war with Holden, “So, I'm guessing that this is the most important thing that you had to do?”

Danny looks at me with a smile on his face. “Hey!” Holden shouted, “No fair.”

“What do you mean? I won clearly.” he retorts as he walks toward me, “So, ready to go in there?” He asks.

“Well, fine. Just don't expect things from me.” I smile.

Holden and Hunter run past us inside the castle. Boys. We enter inside only to see guys walk toward me asking for a dance. I refuse and say that I have weak legs. They believe it and walk away, looking for another girl.

“There here.” Danny whispered in my ear. “Don't turn around.”

Instead of following his instructions, I turn to face Hannah and Issac. She had the same dress that I had on! How embarrassing. I hid behind Danny as they approached us,

“Danny.” Hannah giggled, “Princess?” She angled her head so she could get a better look at me, “Oh my.”

“Danny.” Issac said, “Julie? What on earth are you doing?”

Damn! I got caught! I turn around to face them. My face was as red as a cherry. She looked way better in the dress then I did. “Sorry, I was just going to get some fresh air. Danny would you mind?” I ask, looking at the balcony.

“Not at all.” He said, “Hannah, would you mind taking a walk with me?” Danny asked politely. “Sure.” Danny lead Hannah out, leaving Issac and I alone.

“So, you came.” I start.

“Yeah I did. Hannah looks beautiful, doesn't she?” He looked wonderingly at her as she laughed at whatever Danny was saying.

“Um, yeah she does.” I smile weakly, feeling like knives were being thrown at my heart. “Do you mind?” I ask, mad at Danny for leaving me. Our whole entire plan was ruined! Maybe this was his plan to make me get to know Issac a little better.

“Sure.” I lead the way out side, a few people were talking, but they immediately left once they saw me. Thank you!

I sat down at the closest bench and looked over at Isaac. He looked uncomfortable. “You don't have to be here if you want.”

“It's okay, I don't want to leave the Princess unattended.”

“Julie, not Princess.” I groan.

“Yeah.” He starts to laugh,\

“What's your favorite color?” I ask, randomly. 

“Huh?”

“You know a certain color.”

“I know what you mean. I just don't know why you'd bring that up?”

“I'm just starting a conversation.” I shrug.

“White.” he answers.

“White? But it's so plain!”

“I know, that's why I like it. People always think plain is boring and go for the bright colors. I pick the ones that not many people like. What's yours?? he asks, questioningly.

“Emerald.”

“Why?” He raises his brow.

“Well, I like the color green, but it's prettier then anything.”

“It's prettier then anything.” he mocked me.

I pushed him, but he got a hold of my hand. Them something unexpected happened. There was something in our touch. It felt warm and welcoming. He was leaning. Oh no! Oh no!

“Hey guys.” Danny cleared his voice. Issac and I pulled back fast. Hannah wasn't with Danny.

“Where's Hannah?” Issac cleared his voice.

“She's introducing herself to Holden and Hunter. Telling them her thanks and stuff.” Danny was now smiling as he took out his hand. I stood up and Danny wrapped his arm around my waist, “What are you doing?” I whisper.

“You'll see.” He lowered his face toward mine and kissed me! I let go, completely shocked, the kiss was fast and soft.

“Well, I got to go.” Issac responded and left in a hurry.

“Issac!” I turned around to see Danny chuckling.

“Why?” I ask.

“I thought this was what you wanted?”

“Well, not like this.” I push past him and run after Isaac.

“Issac.” I yell. He had his arm around Hannah. He was mad, I could tell by just one glance.

“Thanks for inviting us.” Hannah said brightly.

“Anytime.” I smile back.

“I hope you can come to the wedding!” She said, her eyes warm.

“Yeah.” Issac mumbled, then he turned Hannah around and kissed her. Basically making out.

“Issac!” Hannah giggled once he pulled away.

“I'm sorry Princess. He never acts this way.”

“It's alright.” I manage to choke out. I was crushed inside.

“Bye Princess.” Hannah waved.

“Bye Julie.” Issac said, walking away with his soon-to-be bride.
