Chase

prologue

the ball room was decorated well and the dim lights just added to the whole picture.what better way to spend an evening with a glass of champagne as violin played in the background enchantingly  while the couples were quite engaged in dancing. one thing i liked about masquerade ball,is they wouldn't give away about the person you happen to see.i loved the little alone time i got being in the crowd ,just not noticeable.one might think,who in their right minds wouldn't love attention? but that's a story for another day and now is the time to enjoy.

           I emptied the contents of my glass and spotted a raven haired beautiful lady with black eyes next to my stool sipping her drink.I saw many times,men coming to ask her for dance and she declined 'em all. i don't blame 'em though she really looked flamboyant.there was no denying that.I had enough drinks to last tonight.i thought,why not may be take chance?

        I stopped too close to her stool.my shadow must have given away me because that exact moment,she turned to see the intruder.i was stunned once i looked in her eyes to see them glistening with something so bright.i took few seconds to stare  at her before taking her hand in mine not breaking eye contact. her hands so soft and sent sparks throughout me.funny thing,she didn't protest.i glanced from dance stage to her.she must have got the idea because then,i was being dragged to stage of course by her.her grin was contagious as she walked through the crowd to the center of stage. i bet,mine reciprocated to hers.

          i wrapped my arms around her waist and she held hers on my shoulder in an unspoken thought.so many heads turned,i bet many males turned and stared at her.one glance at 'em by me,told them not to step out the boundaries.though she wasn't mine,still my mind wrapped around the possibilities of 'if'. that was first time i had ever have thought this.ignoring the rational side,i tried thinking other things.

the party,the dance.the masks.oh,yes ,a pretty lady in my arms.

            of course,she didn't know me or she would have been gushing nonstop the moment we met.despite the fact,i was known everywhere ,I was quite comfortable with her not knowing.

she glanced around the crowd and winked at some guy who grinned back. the picture really made me feel something twisted but I don't know how i felt it was not what it looked.her grin was give away again. the movement she looked with her eyes at me,i was regretting the mask thing here.her eyes held mine captive.

             a sly smile crept up before i voiced out my first thought about her  ,"what do you do with hearts that you break?"
