As the words slipped out of the popstars mouth, the young prince couldn't help but smirk.
''well, may you take my hand?'' said the Prince asked so charmingly; As he edged his hand toward hers ever so slightly, until she felt his fingertips brush her hand so lightly. Iyana unfurled her fingers and allowed his to slip around hers until she could feel the heat of his palm against her own.
Iyana was convinced she felt something when they touched hands, but wasn't sure if it was for the fact, she had champagne minutes before the interaction - but she didn't care, she knew she had a once in a lifetime opportunity, so she was taking it.
As the Prince smiled, they both headed towards the exit of the ballroom, with the onlookers shocked at what they were seeing. The low whispers were beginning to rise and Iyana couldn't help but listen in.
Seems the Prince likes ethnic women...
Showing interest to the singer? Really?
All whispers didn't hurt Iyana, as she continued walking with Christopher, hand in hand in front of the royal crowd.
Just as they left the ballroom and entered the hallway, Iyana's heart started pounding as she was realizing, she was left alone with the prince of Ecuador. It was as if she was fifteen again, walking with her high school crush - but this time, it was with a Prince.
While she was trying to act cool, she couldn't help but notice how beautifully lit the hallway was, with the red carpet being as vibrant as ever, with still the theme of paintings of past king and queens still intact, she wasn't able to notice all the interior of the hallway before as she was in a rush to start the performance.

Just as Iyana's heels were the only sound, they could hear on the carpet floor, they both turned to say.
''How are you enjoying the ball- '' they said in unison, each laughing at each other's attempts to start a conversation.
''You first'' Christopher retorted playfully to Iyana.
She couldn't help but lightly chuckle, but responded ''well...I do have to say, you guys know how to throw a ball''
Christopher again chuckled ''I'm glad you're enjoying- '' but was cut off by Iyana.
''Nuh uh, it's your turn! How are you enjoying the ball? After all, it is your birthday, Your Highness'' the popstar interjected to the young prince.
The Prince laughed while replying ''I'm enjoying it very well, especially now that I'm with you''
Iyana raised her right eyebrow ''well...if I wasn't mistaken, I'd think you were flirting with me, Your Highness'' she said charismatically.
