~Imagine~
You were dragged to a party by your best friend. You had other things to do but she was adamant.
"You can do all of it later," she said.
"But I don't even know anyone there," you argue.
"You'll meet them and make friends," she argues.
"I have friends," you argue.
"Please?" She pleads literally getting on her knees.
"Fine but you owe me big time," you sigh in defeat.
You both go separate ways to your rooms to get ready. You're dressed in a beautiful dark green and black dress. Your friend comes to your room and presents you with a box.
"Wear this," she says with a smile.
You look at her skeptically but reluctantly take the small box from her hand.
"What is it?" You ask.
"Open it," she says smiling.
You hesitate then open it, it was a beautiful green and black mask.
"I forgot to tell you that it's a masquerade ball," she grins.
You groan squinting at her, mentally planing her death.
"Get ready," she says walking back to her room.
You liked the mask but you wouldn't tell her. You put on light makeup and slip the mask on and some nice black heels. You walk down to the living room and sit down as she starts making her way down. She's wearing a purple and black dress, perfect makeup, and hair up really nicely. She looked beautiful.
"Let's go," she says grabbing you.
She drags you to the car and you slide in.
~Time skip~
You enter the beautiful ballroom with the huge chandelier. The lights around the room are blinding, the room is dazzling. People are dressed like a fairytale. There is going to be a little while for mingling then a small game. Your friend starts dragging you to the crowd.
"Y/N, at least pretend to have fun and talk to people," she whispers before a young man whisks her away.
You sigh smiling and shaking your head at her as she flirts with the young man.
"Hello, love," a young man wearing a well fitted 3 piece and a white, phantom of the opera mask.
You stare at him, he was so handsome, beautiful eyes. He couldn't possibly be talking to you, could he?
"Darling, it's proper to return a greeting," he smiles at you.
"You're talking to me?" You ask as he walks straight to you.
"I don't see any other person standing here," he grins.
"Hello," you reply shakily.
Then he stands next to you, smiling down on you.
"Well hello darling, I must say you are the most radiant woman here tonight," he compliments causing you to blush.
"Thank you, I like your choice of allusion," you say as the mc comes to the mic.
"Attention, attention everyone, it's time for a little game. Say goodbye to your partners for now. Now all the ladies please come to this side and the men to the other side. Now this game is called Cinderella. Men turn around, no peaking. Ladies please take off one of your shoes and place it in the corner. Take off the other one and take a seat at one of the tables. Keep the other shoe next to you. Men you can turn around now; grab a shoe and find its match. The rules are simple, find the match and spend the night getting to know the person behind the mask and at 12 remove your masks," the mc directs.
Your friend sits down next to you.
"What did you think getting me into this?" You whisper as you place your other heel next to your seat.
"Oh come on maybe your phantom, or trap door lover if you will, will find your heel," she snickers.
"I'm surprised you know that one of the phantom's aliases is trap door lover," you glare.
Suddenly someone places your other heel on the table in front of you.
You whip your head around to see who brought the other heel to see the phantom, take the heel back and squat down to place the heel back on your feet. He takes the other heel and slips your foot in it.
"I believe I get a night with you, darling," he smirks standing back up and extending his hand to take you away.
Unable to speak you stand up and let him lead you away. He takes you to a table set for two.
"Well dear, do tell me your name," he says in the most soothing voice.
You feel like yourself melting by his accent and the way he speaks.
"Hmm, I'd love to but I believe we are supposed to keep our names and faces hidden until midnight," you reply smirking.
"Very well, why don't you tell me more about yourself besides your name of course," he chuckles.
"What do you want to know?" You ask shyly.
Thus you both spent the entire evening talking getting to know one another. You talked about anything and everything. Even through dinner both of you talked and got to know both of you had much in common. He was very charming and sweet. Your friend had been watching you ever so often. She noticed how happy you were and how much fun you were having. By midnight both of you know a lot about one another without knowing each other's names.
"Attention, attention we'll be starting our countdown to midnight now, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" the mc says say everyone takes off their masks.
Your phantom takes off his and comes behind you before you can see his face as he takes off yours for you.
"You're beautiful," he says coming in front of you.
"Y-you're Tom, Tom Hiddleston," you stutter at a loss of words.
"I know darling but what's your name," he chuckles.
"Y/N," you reply.
Thus begins your beautiful relationship.
-End-
