CASSIE FORTZ

10

"Oh.my.goshhhh!" This is beautiful Sam does a little twirl with my dress.

"Mr Rosario is gonna die when he sees you" she wiggles her eyebrows, smiling mischievously

"Stop exaggerating silly" I roll my eyes and continue doing my make up

"Nude or red?" I ask contemplating what lipstick to use

"Nude" she rolls her eyes at me 

"Ohhhh" I smile

"What would I do without you" I say

"Oh I dunno, you'd probably end up in a ditch" she says and I just pause, my eyes wide open

Sam starts laughing

I wear my dress and my shoes putting finishing touches on my make up

'What's funny?" I say smiling perplexed

"Your face that's what." she replies and I just shake my head at her

"Silly"

We hear the doorbell and my heart starts beating, nervousness kicking in

Sam gasps

"He's here already?"

"Yeah" she notices my nervousness

"You'll be fine don't worry, you won't fall flat on your face, you won't fart-"

"W-h-a--t?" I start laughing

"Good. That's just what I wanted, for you to loosen up" she says smiling at me

The door bell rings again

"That's my cue. Gotta go now. You're staying over right?"

"Yeah, but I think you should take your key in case I fall asleep, which I'm sure I will."

"Okay then. See ya!"

I walk out, taking a deep breath as I do.

"Mr Rosario." I say meeting his gaze, his lips slightly parted

"Cassie" he says a bit above a whisper

We stare at eachother for a bit until he  clears his throat

"We should leave now, before we arrive late"

"Uh yeah we should." He gestures for me to take the lead and I comply

I try to open the door when a hand stops me

"Let me"

Mr Rosario opens the door for me and I mutter a quick thanks

He then gets in and we head for our destination. Mr Rosario stealing glances at me as he drives, earning a smirk from me

Sam was right after all
                 
                           *******

Some minutes later we arrive at a very beautiful hotel.

It looks like we're right on time cause I see other people arriving too, some already heading inside and my my do they look amazing.

Mr Rosario opens the door for me giving me his hand

"Cassie I'd like it if you're less formal tonight"

"Oh" I blush

"Uh alright"

"You can call me Levi, actually my name's Levi Rosario." he says

"Uh yeah I knew that"

"you did?"

"Uh--yeah" I sound stalker-ish

Thankfully the usher interrupts our discussion

"This way sir, ma'am?"

He leads us to a beautifully decorated hall.

Wow.

"I see you like what you see" Levi says

"It's beautiful" I reply

We make our way to our seats. Levi's hand faintly resting on my back

"LEVI!" A voice calls from behind us and we turn.

An old man walks towards us grinning widely.

"It's been a while Miguel" Levi says and I just stand awkwardly at the side.

"How's your old man" Miguel ask and I notice Levi's jaw harden

"Doing good"

"I heard h--"

"You know what, we should probably take our seats now" Levi cuts him off, his face not hiding his annoyance

"Whoa whoa won't you at least introduce me to your new catch" he mocks and I glare at him irritated by his attitude

"I'd watch my mouth if I were you"

                           *******

The dinner party kicked off and I finally got rid of my nervousness.
  So many business men and women were introduced and some of them were even called to give an advice or two to others out there. Levi being one of them.

"Do you like your food" Levi asks and I smile

"Yes, yes I do"

"Well you kind of spaced out a bit" he replies

"I'm sorry" I say eating my food

It actually tastes really nice.

"Hope you're not gonna choke this time" Levi smirks at me chuckling a bit

And I almost laugh, choking on my food in the process

"shit" Levi says standing up to pat my back

"sorry, sorry" he helps me

"Thanks I'm better now." I smile at him.

"I'm sorry" he says looking uncomfortable

"It's okay I'm fine." I reply pushing my plate back.

"Uh I'm heading out. I need some air."

I walk out earning glances from people as I walk by

"Hey!" A blonde haired guy grabs my arm.

I raise a brow at him

"oh I'm so sorry" he realizes he's still holding me and he lets go

"You were just too pretty to let go"

"So what's your name?" he asks

"Cassie, Cassie Fortz"

"What a nice name for a pretty lady. Who are you here with?" he asks smiling innocently and I just chuckle

He looks cute

"Mr Rosario."

"Wow, are you like his girlfriend or"

"No! No no just repaying a favor that's all" I say

"Why'd you say no like it's a bad thing" he smirks at me

"No I mean he's not bad, he's actually my type but-"

"oh so you're saying you like him" he wiggles his brows

"What! No!" I roll my eyes hugging myself

"You're silly" I pout

"And you're cute" he taps my nose

"So I guess I'll see you around?" he asks grinning like he won a lottery

"Yeah, I guess" I smile

"Alright then"

"Bye" I wave
