Husband of My Dreams

Chapter 18

I walked around Con Alt Delete as Cinderella, feeling amazing about myself for once. My friends, Olivia and Emily, walked around with me as people stopped us to take pictures and just going to different rooms. We walked towards a room that was playing music and I grinned as I saw people dancing.
"Hey. Maybe I can find a prince here." I laughed, them joining along. Someone tapped my shoulder and I slowly turned around, seeing a guy dressed in a prince suit, but he was wearing a mask, yet I could still see his eyes. Chocolate brown... No, it couldn't be. He put his hand out, his other arm behind his back and bowing. I gently took his hand and he led me away from my friends. Turning to look at them, they gave me a thumbs up, recording me with a camera. I looked back towards him and he just smiled a little and started to slow dance, even though it was a fast song. I frowned, remembering those times that I slow danced with Elijah. Why'd we have to fight? Although, I mostly just yelled at him. Oh great, I'm a terrible person. I looked down, the best I could with the choker on my neck. The prince put his finger under my chin and slowly lifted my head so I was looking in his eyes. No, I know those eyes way too well... "Elijah?"
He slowly took off his mask and I heard my friends gasp. "I'm sor--"
I hugged him tightly, my head on his shoulder. "I should be the sorry one."
"How about we just forget the whole thing and just dance? Me and my princess." He grinned. I nodded and closed my eyes, slow dancing with him. The song ended soon after and I lifted my head. He smiled and wouldn't let go.
"Elijah... The song ended."
"I know."
"Are you just gonna keep dancing?"
"Yeah."
"This is the last song" the DJ announced, playing a song from Frozen.
"Nope." Elijah took my hand, walking out. I laughed, following the best I could in my dress.
"Elijah, you're gonna make me--" my foot stepped on the bottom of my dress, making me fall forward.
He quickly turned and caught me. "Don't lose your shoe." He whispered. He slowly stood me back up. I smiled a little and everyone was awwing, staring.
"Oh get a life. Yes, the princess found her prince... And she's not letting go." I smiled at him. He softly kissed me and people awed again. I flipped them off, but quickly gripped his shoulders when he dipped me.
He slowly broke apart, but just by a few inches. "Do you trust me?"
"Am I supposed to?" I giggled. He rolled his eyes and went back to kissing me. My perfect prince.
"Hey Elijah, I think she forgave you. You can stop now." I heard. Elijah groaned and slowly put me on my feet. I looked behind him and saw the rest of the band.
"Do they travel everywhere with you?" I looked at him.
"I told them not to... But I guess it's just part of the band boyfriend package." He shrugged, before staring at me.
I smiled a little and tilted my head. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I never asked you to be my girlfriend." He frowned.
"I figured with all the kissing..." I giggled.
He rolled his eyes. "Sometimes your sarcasm gets in the way."
"Yes, but that's why you like me so much."
He sighed. "I guess... But you're also very cute, the other parts of your personality are amazing."
"Are you gonna ask me to be your girlfriend, or propose?"
"Girlfriend. Proposing comes later." He smirked. I blushed deeply. "Now, if you're all done with your sarcasm, will you go out with me?"
"Yes." I whispered close to his lips before softly kissing him. He grinned and kissed back.
"How many times will you two do that?" Lucas groaned.
"As many times as we want." I mumbled. Elijah chuckled.
"You do know there's a child here, right?"
I broke apart. "Jax?" I looked behind Elijah and smiled when I saw the kid. He ran over and I bit my lip. "Eh, screw it." I knelt down on my dress and he grinned, hugging me tightly. The doors opened and I shivered, it only being 25 degrees F outside.
Elijah took off his jacket. "Put this on." He handed it to me. I smiled and put his jacket on, smiling more at how it smelled like him. Jax went back to hugging me and I grinned, hugging back. "Okay, Jax, we don't want her pretty dress to get too dirty." Elijah chuckled and gently took Jax away. I slowly stood, making sure I didn't stand on my dress.
"How about us?" Lucas pouted. I giggled and walked over, hugging each of the band.

Elijah walked over. "So, please tell me you're wearing something under your dress."

"Huh? Oh, yeah." I lifted the bottom, showing my jeans.
He leaned towards my ear. "What about on top?"
I smirked a little. "Nope." I whispered back, turning back to the band and chatting with them. "So how long will you guys be here?"
"All weekend. Elijah got hotel rooms for us in case he didn't find you today."
"How did you know I was here?" I turned to him.
"I uh... Maybe went to your house... And asked your parents..." He blushed and looked away.
"Wow."
"And they gave me some clothes for you in case you wanted to stay at the hotel." I grinned and hugged him, shivering again.
He picked me up and I gripped his shoulders, shaking my head. "Aren't I heavy?"
"Not at all." He smiled and walked to the elevators, taking me to his room. He sat me on the bed and walked to the door, closing it after Jax came in. I smiled and looked for my bag. Elijah tossed it at me and I caught it, going to the bathroom. I slipped off the dress and put on my bra and a black skull shirt, hanging the dress over the shower rod. I walked out and Jax ran over. "More hugs?" He grinned. I laughed and picked him up, walking to the bed and sitting with my back against the headboard. Elijah sat next to me with his arm around my waist, turning on the TV. I laid my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes and falling asleep with a smile on my face.
