Angela POV

I scanned the whole room, but still failed to see my grandma, this room was too crowded and too big. I decide that I need a fresh air.

The sky was dark, but stars illuminating the night like a diamond, sparkling so bright. And just when I enjoying the night, someone clear his throat behind me, then he sat next to me.
"Its so crowded there, huh?"
"Yeah. I almost cant breath." He laughed.
"Thats why I rarely go to a party. Guess Im not suited to being his heir one day." I gasped and push his shoulder.
"Dont say that! Youre an excellent heir, oji-chan said that."
"When?"
"Hmm.. I forgot, but it was a long time ago."
"Yes, that can change as time passed, Angela."
"Oji-chan is not like that."
"Okay, okay. Seriously, I dont know why he take a teenagers at his granddaughter age to being his step son." I sighed, actually I dont know too. "Not that I didnt like to be his step son."
"Oji-chan can see through every people gift, maybe he knows you have something special."
"Like what?"
"Maybe you can find it out on your own?"
"I dont know how."
"Just keep walking and you'll discover it." I said, I suddenly feel sleepy, I leaned my head on his shoulder. At first he wince a little, then he was relaxed.
"You know what, I think someone just standing behind there." I got up.
"Really? Its creepy, I think we should go.back inside." He chuckled and we walked inside.
The room was still same, crowded, but what make it different that everyone was dancing, Michiru was gone already and I leaned in one of the pillars watching everyone dancing. Then I heard a noises from behind me, its that.beaurtiful guy, being surrounded by girls. Should I help him or leave him be?
And without my commands, my body moves on its own to his direction. His attention fall into me who standing behind the crowds, he smiled and speak up.
"Okay ladies, I know who will I ask to dance." The crowd cheered, hoping it will be one of them, but I know he was looking at me all the time, and just like what I predicted, it was me. He walked to me, the girl that standing in front of me already smirked, like she know that he will chose her, but no, he keep walking and took my hands, then kissed it gently. "Would you like to dance, milady?" He said staring into my eyes.
"Sure." I blurted out, and without I even realize it. Then he led me into the middle of the room, everyone watch as I dance with him.

The song finished, and we parted. But before that, he took my chin gently and kissed my cheek. My face was all red.
"Until we meet again, little angel." He whispered on my ears. And my face getting more redder. I standing there, dumfounded.
"What are you doing?" Michiru said.
"A-ah.. Nothing, lets go." I said fastly and started to walk, but then I tripped on my heels and I fall, just when I almost reach the grounds, a pair of.hands catch me. It was Michiru's. I looked at him, and he help me standing up.
"Be more careful, will ya?" He said and walked toward the entrance doors. When I tried to walk, my ankle feels so hurt, it must be twisted when I fall. I look around, everyone was busy with themself and I cant walk. Just great.
"Are you okay?" A soft voice said. I turn around and I saw a man, maybe at my age. He has an ice blue eyes, with dark blue hair, and what I like from him, he has a mole below his right eyes, cute.
"Ah, um.. Not really, my ankles twisted and I cant walk to my granparents car."
"Oh, poor you. Let me help you." He said calmly and he put my arms around his neck and help me walked, its kinda hurt, but better than I should walk by myself.
"Thank you for helping me. Im Angela, what is your name?"
"Hijrikawa Masato."
"Thank you for your help, I dont know what would I do if theres no one there."
"Its okay." Then he silent for awhile. "Wheres your car?"
"There." I pointed to a limousine that being parked outside the building. We reach the car and he let me go.
"Really, I appreaciated your help." I said.
"Its okay, you better come in, your.grandparents would be worried."
"Yeah. Once again. Thank you." Then I go inside. Grandma and grandpa shot me a worried glance.
"Are you okay, honey? Why you took so long?" Grandma said.
"Uh, that.. My ankle twisted. Luckily theres a kind man that help me to reach this car."
"What?! Michiru! Why are you not helping her?" Grandpa said.
"Calm down, dear. You can get an heart attack. Let him explain first." Grandma said patting grandpa's shoulder.
"Well, I didnt know that her ankle twisted, when I left she was fine." Michiru said as if he doesnt care.
"Jerk." I muttered.
"But didnt I tell you to pick her up? Not left her!" Grandpa said.
"I already did! She walks like a turtle." I havent even move my foot when he was leave, gah, what a jerk. I decide to shut my mouth because I dint want grabdpa to get an heart attack.
The ride was silence, as soon as we arrived, I tried my best to go to my room as fast as I can and laid myself on the bed, I hope my ankle will be better tomorrow.
