There’s no need to be scared, it’s just Alana and she accepted your invitation so there’s no need to be scared you can’t mess this up. I was giving myself a pep talk and I’d lost count of how may that I’d given myself because of how scared I was; I was close to backing out but I couldn’t I’d come this far and I refused to.
I gently knocked on the door and waited patiently until one of them answered it. My breath got knocked out of me as I saw Alana, she looked so beautiful and magical and I couldn’t believe that she was going with me
“Are you going to say anything or are you just going to keep standing there” she broke me out of my thoughts, I looked at her face to see she was blushing
“Why are you blushing?” I questioned confused
“No reason” she laughed but she still kept blushing
“You look really beautiful today” I complimented her
Her face twisted into a scowl “Are you saying that I don’t look beautiful other days that I look ugly”
My eyes widened “No, no, you look beautiful everyday” I quickly said with a blush gracing my cheeks
“I’m only joking with you Cam” she teased me and her smile was back on her face
“You tease me too much” I pouted
She was wearing an elegant floor length, strapless blue dress but her bust was held up by a black lace material. Her hair was in a bun but there some wisps of hair fell out of the bun giving her an innocent look.
As she got to the car I quickly rushed to her door so that I could open it for him
“Awww, I never knew you were such a gentleman Cameron. You mum must have raised you well” she teased me
I shrugged trying to hide the redness of my cheeks and quickly walked over to my side of the car so that we could set off
“So where’s Carolina tonight?” I asked not seeing at their apartment
“She went out with a guy after dumping one a few weeks ago”
“Does she normally do that?”
“She goes out with douchebags who only want her for sex but don’t get it then she breaks up with them or he breaks up with her”
“Maybe she wants to feel loved so as soon as a guy gives her the attention that she needs she immediately falls for his charms. It’s a simple no-brainer really”
“Well I’ve never thought of it like that Dr Phil”
“Yeah yeah, you’re just jealous of my thinking”
“If that’s what gets you to bed at night then so be it”
Half an hour later we arrived at the hall which had been rented out for tonight. I still had no idea why the ball had been hosted something to do with the graduates maybe a party from the college. I parked the car quickly rushing out to open the door for her, she’d probably tease me about it but I enjoyed her teasing
“Thanks you Mr Colton, you’re such an exceptional gentleman” she said in a posh accent trying not to giggle. This moment was just perfect, she looked so innocent and beautiful that it took a lot of courage to stop looking at her and link her arm with mine so that we would enter the ballroom
“I aim to please”
Once inside the ballroom my eyes widened, the place was magnificent. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling with a dancefloor right in the middle of the ballroom which had been polished as I could see my reflection on the surface. There were tables and chairs on the left and right of the dancefloor. It was truly magical just like Alana. The colours were also blended together: gold, silver and white
