Heart strings

Chapter11

Paule's POV:

Entering the big ball room my amazement grew by the second. It was so pretty. The theme was white and golden. Tables were dressed in white cloth who's ends were trimmed in royal golden patterns. Helium balloons were floating. Champagne was being served by waiters and people in different dresses and suits were chatting around.

And somehow with all this amazing things around me, all I wanted to do was curl up in my bed, read a book and try talking to Edward.

"And this is my daughter Paule" father's voice cut me off my thoughts. I quickly gave a small bow saluting the new man in front of me. He took my glove covered hand giving it a kiss

'It's nice to meet you Mrs. Paule'

'The pleasure is mine Sir...' I trailed off not knowing his name

'Lincoln, Lincoln Pierce my lady'

I looked away pretending to be hiding a blush. Gosh how I hate having to act like I'm really happy to socialize when I just want to go away. Plus Lincoln doesn't look nor sound like good news.

Apart from his physic which considers of an amazing body and a pretty face he's got nothing. He looks like a complete jerk. One of those players who would just go around trying to be close to everything that's into category 'female'.

I don't trust him. Not one tiny bit. And from the way my parents are looking at him I can feel they are plotting something. And that doesn't sound appealing one bit. When my parents have those looks, hell is coming for me.

Wanting to get away from all of them as soon as possible I spoke.

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, I'm gonna go get some air. Mother, Father, Mr. Pierce." I finished saluting. Turning to start walking out I heard my name being called.

"Paule, how about Mr. Pierce over here takes you to the garden? We could then be sure you're safe."

"Oh it's not necessary mother, I'm sure I can manage"

"Of course I would love to accompany you Mrs. Paule, it would be a pleasure to make sure you're safe and sound away from any danger of the night." Had Lincoln rudely interrupted me. Yeah right the only danger right now is you. I wanted to say but I shut my mouth.

"Well then it's settled" concluded mother. Oh how I hate my life right now.

Mr. Pierce took hold of my hand guiding me to the back doors into the beauty of the night. The sky was illuminated by stars and the big bright moon. Nothing could ruin it.

"So Mrs. Tell me a little about yourself"

Spoke too soon. This is what can ruin it.

"There's not much to say, I'm a 17 year old woman who lives with her mother and father."

"No hidden secrets?"

"No kind sir,now if you excuse me I'll be heading back inside where my parents await me" Turning my back to my rude companion, I made my way back inside. I'd rather be stuck in there with mother and father than be here with him.
