Rochè's POV

The evening was going smoothly without a single hiccup. Mother was happy with the ball she organised. We just finished dinner and now we're all going to the ball room. "Hello, princess," I heard and turned around to see Ross, smiling slightly. "Hello, prince," I said and he chuckled. Ross and I sat next to each other at dinner so we were talking throughout dinner. Everyone was. He held out his left arm for me and I wrapped my right hand around his arm.

"Are you having fun?" I asked him and he nodded as we walked to the ball room. "I am. It seems like the evening is going well," he said as we entered the ball room. "It is. Is Rocky still mad at you?" I asked him. "I don't know. I think he just doesn't like the fact that I'm spending more time with you. Don't worry about him. Just have fun tonight, alright?" he asked and I nodded. "Dance with me?" he asked as he held out his hand and I smiled at him before we walked to the middle of the dancefloor. A slow song was playing and all the couples were swaying around. Ross wrapped his long arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "You're beautiful, Rochè," Ross said softly as he pulled me closer and I blushed as we started swaying. "You're just saying that," I said and he shook his head. "I'm not though. You really are," he said. "You're beautiful too," I said as I stared up into his eyes.

"Want to take a walk around the garden with me?" Ross asked softly after we were dancing for a couple of minutes and I smiled at him. "That would be lovely," I said and we unwrapped our arms around each other before he took my hand and we walked to the garden. The garden was lit up with fairy lights and it looked beautiful. We walked further and stood next to the fountain. "I was serious when I told you that you're beautiful," Ross suddenly said and I felt myself blush for the 100th time today. "Thank you, Ross, but you have to stop saying that because my cheeks hurt from smiling and blushing the whole day," I said and he chuckled softly. "You better get used to it, Rochè, because I love seeing you blush," Ross said and placed his hands on my hips and pulled me closer. "Is that so?" I asked as he slowly leaned closer and I felt my stomach start doing flips. He only hummed as he softly nudged our noses together and I felt my breath catch in my throat.

"What are you doing?" I asked just above a whisper and he smiled as our lips were just millimeters away from each other. "I'm catching the fair princess," he breathed out softly and I felt my pulse race. Our lips brushed against each other's and I felt a spark run through my body. I closed my eyes as I saw his close. His lips pressed against mine and I immediately felt sparks run throughout my whole body as soon as our lips moved against each other's. Our lips moved in perfect synch and I wrapped my arms around his neck as he kissed me passionately.

My head stopped working for the duration of the kiss and it felt like I was on cloud nine. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened my mouth allowing his tongue to snake inside. Out tongues explored each other's mouths and I felt fireworks explode. We pulled away again and we both caught our breath. "Wow," was all Ross said, still trying to catch his breath and I smiled. "Wow," I repeated, still holding him close. "You're amazing, Rochè," Ross said as he placed his forehead on mine. "You're amazing too, Ross," I said and he smiled at me before giving me another soft peck. "You're a good kisser," Ross said against my mouth and I giggled. "You are too," I said softly and he pulled me even closer.

My eyes opened and I was immediately blinded with light. I sighed before opening my eyes and looked around my room. A small smile crept its way onto my face onto my face as I thought about last night. The kiss. I felt myself beginning to blush as the memories sneaked their way through my head. The kiss was incredible. I sighed happily before standing up and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I stood up and walked into my bathroom. I removed my short satin nightgown and climbed into my shower, the warm water relaxing my muscles. After my shower I put on a pink skirt with a white shirt and a matching pink blazer.
