You Control Me //ch//

My stomach churned as we pulled up to the front of the house where the valet was waiting. I wasn't really one to love social events but I guess attending a high end party with a house full of wealthy strangers is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Easton, after adjusting his black tie, came around the car and opened my door for me. I gave him a thankful smile and stepped out of the car. I stood in awh looking up at the huge house. Outside of the house was a huge marble fountain surrounded by beautiful flowers, most of the house was windows that revealed hundreds of people dressed in white and black laughing and drinking from wine glasses.
"My ladies." Easton hooked his arms to mine and Hensley's arms and walked us inside. The inside was twenty times as astonishing as the outside. Two giant wrap around stair cases, a crystal chandelier, and marble flooring greeted us at the front of the house. "Jesus Christ this dudes loaded." Hensley nearly yelled. "How do you know this person anyway, Lana?" I didn't know what to say seeing as that I didn't even know this man. "Hey let's go get something to drink." I changed the subject.
          "Actually that was kind of a long car ride and I really need to use the bathroom." Hensley said. "Here I'll help you find it." Easton said with a friendly smile. "Lana do you mind if we go to the bathroom and you find the drinks?" Hensley said with a squirm. "Of course not, go ahead." I said before they walked off leaving me alone.
          "Miss Evans, you made it." A deep voice approached me from behind. I turned and saw the man from Mr. Hoods office lobby. "Uh, hello Mr..." I couldn't recall his name. "Marshall. Leo Marshall." He smiled before grabbing my hand and moving it towards his face, "I'm so glad you could make it." He said before placing a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. I blushed and pulled my hand away. "So Mr. Marshall-"
          "Leo."
          "I'm sorry?"
          "Call me Leo." He smiled.
          "Leo." I began again, "I wasn't aware you'd be here."
          "Well miss Lana, it would be quite rude of me not to attend my own party." He grinned.
          "This is your house?" I said in amazement.
          "Yes. Do you like it?"
          "Very much so." I looked around. "It's beautiful."
          "Would you like to see the rest of it?" Leo asked holding out his hand. I looked at him then his hand deciding whether I should go with him or wait for Hensley and Easton. "That would be lovely." Smiled and placed my hand in his.
          He guided me through a large room full of people having conversations and laughing. A man bumped into me and I looked back at him. Suddenly the sight of Mr. Hood looking back at me and grinning made my heart melt. He turned and continued walking, everything inside me wanted to go follow him, if it wasn't for Leo's strong grip on my hand I might have.
          A half an hour had passed and the tour came to an end in Mr. Marshall's giant greenhouse. "You know I really should go find my friends, they're probably looking for me." Mr. Marshall's face fell. "Oh, yes, of course. Come, let's go back inside."
