"J-James?" I asked once again. What was he doing here. All types of questions came into mind. Is he cheating on Nalani? I will beat the daylight out of him. Wait. Is Nalani cheating on him? I wouldn't punch her but probably smack some sense into her. Yeah probably.
"Sweetheart, right again." James said breaking me out of my reverie.
"James why aren't you with Nalani." I went straight to the point.
"Oh. I'm sensing she lied again and didn't tell you. I'll talk to later Sweetheart." He kissed the back of my hand and somebody tapped my shoulder. I turned to see no one there I went back looking to my front.
"Whoa." I stumbled back. Yeah stiletto heels and me don't go to well together. The gentleman grabbed my waist and brought me back to balance. He asked to dance with me and hey who am I to say no to someone who helped me not fall and die of embarrassment.
The usual cliche twists, turn, dip. I'm not complaining. The guy has his moments. I know this isn't Kayden. Haha sucker hasn't found me yet. The guys voice seem familiar so I decide to ask him who he is.
"Ouch." He dramatically puts his hand over his heart in fake sorrow. "After these few years I thought you'd at least know my name." He said in the same dramatic tone. I slap him across the chest.
"Matt!" I say hugging him. "You're usually with Mac. Where is she?" I ask.
"Well I'm on a hunt to find her. I saw you with James and thought I'd take my turn with you then head off for the hunt." He says with a genuine smile.
"Well you should go head off and find your princess." I said slapping his arm playfully.
I bid him goodbye and--
"Woah." I muttered holding on to the guy's chest. Deja Vu already? The stranger spun me onto his chest. He's still grabbing my waist.
"Hey mister I have a boyfriend." I say coolly.
No reply.
"He'll beat the pulp outta you if he sees you holding me like this." I said but hesitantly this time.
Still no reply.
I poke him.
Again.
And again.
"I should-" He cuts me off by putting his index finger on my lips. But still no talking. His touch is warm. Oh Kayden is really gonna be mad. Where is that nincompoop anyways. Come to think of it, nincompoop is a funny word.
He's coming closer, and closer. Why am I doing nothing to stop this! If he comes any closer our lips will be crashed together. Our breathing in sync. I can practically hear my heartbeat over the music. Thank god it's dark so he can't see my scarlet red cheeks. He comes closer. I close my eyes not sure of what's going to happen. He goes to my ear. So close I swear I can feel his lips on it.
"Tomorrow, 7:00. Be ready." His voice. It sends shivers down my spine. I can feel the hairs on my back rise. Well Mr. Mystery Guy you have quite the effect on me. He's walking away. No! Wait what.
"Hey!" I call after him. I pick up my dress and run like in the movies. I walk out of the gym doors and call after Mystery Guy again. He has a cab waiting on him? What if this guy is A? Well Aria you definitely have good taste. He leaves. Quite the gentleman.
My phone beeps and I take it out from the pocket of my dress and slide across the screen.
Blocked Message?
Come out at 7:00 tomorrow and wait for me. Fancy but not to fancy. -M
M? Who in the heck is M? I don't really know anyone with an M name. Oh! Mystery Guys name starts with an M? I'll take my chances. After all he did smell like the ocean.
Kayden be prepared for operation breakup.

Nalani and James still avoid to tell me the topic. I can see the forced smile both of the plaster across their face when I ask. I'll just leave it until they're comfortable. Since Nalani had a meeting for an internship Mac helped me get ready for the mystery date.
"Have you told Kayden about this?" Mac asked while curling the last strand of my hair.
"No. Why? Should I? Actually I haven't talked to him since we got everything sorted out at brunch the other day. He's probably hooking up with Chelsea and her wannabe minions."
Mac and I laugh hysterically.
Mac finished off my hair and then did my makeup. I'll be honest she isn't as good as Nalani but any one is better than me in the hair department. I usually burn or hurt myself in some way. My makeup is a light bronze eye-shadow and a peachy lip gloss. With the usual mascara. I'm wearing a black and white sleeveless maxi dress.
"Thanks Mac!" I said giving her a hug.
"You should be getting downstairs it's 6:53. Oh and if anything happens I'm just a call away." Mac finished with a reassuring smile. I put on my wedges and headed out and bid my goodbyes to Sierrah and Linda. A black limo pulls up and the chauffeur opens the back door for me. I see mystery guy but he's wearing the same mask but a different tux. Bow-tie. He's wearing a red bow-tie. I love bow-ties. He's still not speaking. I'm actually scared now..what if he's a rapist! Okay now I'm just paranoid.
I reach my hand out to his mask and go to take it off. I don't have to pull it off all the way to remember that smirk. I slap him on the chest.
"You scared me!" I said pouting like a little child throwing the mask on the ground.
It's happening again. Deja vu. He comes close to my ear. I feel his breath on my neck.
"Told you I'd find you."
