A modern love story

Chapter 18 - The masked ball

Third party POV

Raven was the first to get out the shower and took advantage of the fact by getting dried and putting on her bathrobe before Dylan immerged from the bathroom.  She was busy drying her hair and he was staring at her “what?” she asked quizzically and he just smiled and said “your beautiful I can’t believe you’re here with me” she just pouted and continued doing her hair and then said “flattery will get you everywhere but I really want to go to this ball tonight ok so stop looking at me in that way with your puppy dog eyes” “ok so what you wearing tonight so I know what suit will complement your outfit?” “the dress” was all she said and she saw his face light up “the one from the photo?” “yeah you get to see me in it for real this time.  So what suits do you have with you?” he got them out and showed her and she smiled “I love you in either but my dress is black so maybe the grey suit is that ok?” “yeah fine” and with that they both got ready she didn’t take her eyes off him while he got dressed wow that physique she was so lucky she couldn’t help but smile and he was constantly looking at her and smiling. 

She picked up her dress and moved towards the bathroom door “wait a minute where are you going?” “what to get changed” “no way I have got ready in front of you and your disappearing that’s not fair” “sue me” was all she said as she closed the door.  Once inside the bathroom she locked the door and put the dress on no underwear required she did not want any lines she wanted to look her best it pulled up from the bottom and she made sure no one would know she was commando you certainly couldn’t tell in her opinion.  She had already done her makeup natural as per but her eye makeup really did bring out the bluey green of her eyes they were light brown colours she was getting better at this makeup mallarky if she did say so herself but her hair she had to do something with it so she decided she was curling it on the side so here goes and she walked out the bathroom to do her hair

Dylan was now fully suited and booted and he was sitting waiting for her to come out they still had plenty of time his jacket was over the seat no need to crease it while sitting but he did have his waistcoat on and when he heard the door open he looked up “oh my God” “what should I change? too much? You don’t like it?” “no you look amazing” she blushed and smiled and said “you don’t look too bad yourself” and then she turned her back and he got the rear view and oh my God he thought look at that plunge it leaves nothing to the imagination but her back was gorgeous not a blemish he was lost in his thoughts when he heard her cough and say “ok put your tongue back in boy and can you do me a favour?” “yeah sure what?” “go in my makeup bag it’s on my bed and pass me the clips that are in there please?” “yeah not a problem” two secs later he was behind her passing her the clips “thank you” “your welcome” he said kissing her neck and running his hand up and down her back  “ok well you can stop that now and sit down I have to get my hair finished” “ok I just can’t take my eyes off you are keep my hands off you” “well try I need to make it tonight ok I am really looking forward to it” and with that he did as he was told but didn’t take his eyes off her once which she liked a lot.

Hair done and looking good and feeling really good she walked over to the wardrobe and got out her shoes and two masks giving one to him to put on, his was a plain black mask but hers had a feather coming out of it at the top right which was red and black and the mask itself was silver glitter which complemented his suit.  “When did you get these?” “the same day I got my PJs they were all in the bag” they then put them on and she put on her heels, which she hated she could just about walk in them, and he put on his jacket “so is madam ready?” he asked turning with his elbow extended out so she could link with him and she took the opportunity and slipped her hand through his arm and linked and said “yes I think I am kind sir” it was him who suddenly stopped “one last thing before we leave” “what?” and with that he spun around and kissed her.  The kiss was passionate and took her breath away but she liked it and then out came the phone and he pulled away and said “oh and a selfie” she just laughed and he took it.

They kissed in the elevator down to reception and then ordered their taxi and a drink at the bar all eyes were on them they could feel it but he just put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in “they are looking because they are jealous they want to be me because your so gorgeous” “and the other way round as well you look pretty hot in that suit” and with that he leant in and kissed her again “I love you” he whispered to her and she just blushed and smiled and said “not as much as I love you” and they kissed again.  The taxi then came and took them to The Old George hotel as they got out the taxi and walked up to the entrance they could see the red carpet inside and once inside they realised this lead them up a split old gothic style staircase as per the direction notice so we followed it in to the large function room.  You entered the room via large wooden double doors and then there were stairs leading down to the tables and dance floor.  As they entered the room they noticed the maitre de and walked over to him and gave our names, Raven had booked but she booked it under Mr and Mrs McFee, which made Dylan giggle and as they were lead to their table he whispered “that name is coming in handy” “yeah I hope you don’t mind I was thinking total anonymity just in case it had got out considering I booked last week” and he just giggled and said “good thinking” and with that we took our seats on a table for two it was just them and they ordered their drinks a bottle of prosecco for Raven and red wine for him.  They talked about his family and joked about Julia and Victoria and them getting together and her family including her dad and what had happened and they got to know each other better they had their meals.  They both had prawn cocktail to start, he had serloin steak for main and she had chicken and they shared a tiramisu for dessert.  Once the meal was finished the band started they were good they did all the songs that were requested and they danced the night away.  He disappeared at one point to ask for a song to be played it was from Ed Sheerans new album and it was called perfect and they did it and he pulled her in close and they slow danced his hands delicately placed on my waist and her arms wrapped around his neck as she lay her head on his shoulder and they danced.  As the song came to an end she looked at him and kissed him and then placed her head back and whispered “thank you for a lovely night” “the pleasure was all mine” he replied and the song stopped and we walked back to the table  we finished our drinks and decided it was time to go back it was 1.30am and they called a taxi and made their way down to the main entrance.  The taxi was there when they got there and they were at their hotel by 1.50am they made out again in the elevator but this time Raven took it a bit further and as she was kissing his neck she whispered “I have been a naughty girl tonight I went commando” he pulled away from her “what I don’t believe you” and with that she took his hand and ran it up the slit in the dress and up the inside of my thigh “keep going and see” which he did and found no underwear at all and started to play with her clit which got a reaction while they made out then the doors opened and they stopped and went into their room.

Being very drunk though by the time they undressed which was a laugh for some reason they both lost the ability to undo buttons or pull a dress down they just fell asleep in each other’s arms snuggling in and smiling this was heaven but they both knew this would change tomorrow but for now they enjoyed tonight and each other.
