Masquerade Ball

Chapter 3

Livi and I finally leave after the encounter.

"He's totally gonna buy that dress for you!" Livi squealed.

"Yeah right. like he would buy a dress for some chick that isn't swooning over him, one of the most beautiful dresses i've ever seen." I sigh.

Livi scoffs and rolls her eyes. "you my friend are so blind."

"Whatever" I mumble and get in the car.

We get back to the book store and I immediately fall into the world of fantasy until I fall asleep.

-----------------------------------------

I am woken up abruptly for when Livi burst into my room with a huge grin on her face.

"What?" I buried my face back into my pillow.

"There's someone at the door for you..." she sing songed. "SO GET YOUR DAMN BOOTY OUT OF BED!"

I fell out of my bed. Gosh dang it!

I lazily make my way to the door and when I get there I am now fully awake and about ready to throw a fit from who is at the door.

Prince Landon.

I bow my head because that is the way you greet royalty. even though, i'd rather bash his face in the door.

"Hello love. no need to bow your head, even though I know it's code." he rambles.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Eager are we." I just roll my eyes.

"Get to the point." I rush.

"Well, I saw that dress you were eyeing yesterday and I brought it to my honor to hand deliver a beautiful girl her masquerade dress." He states.

He moves to the side and my eyes widen. there in all it's glory is the dress, mask, and shoes that I was fantasizing over.

"Thank you... but I can't accept this." I gape. "I can't pay you back."

"No need miss. I felt the need for a beautiful girl like you." he smiles. his smile is amazing. he has dimples on either side of his cheek, teeth perfectly straight. I shake my head.

"I can't." I say still staring at the gorgeous dress.

"Yes you can." he handed the dress over.

"How ever can I thank you?" I ask. i can't believe i'm even considering doing something with this egoistical boy.

"You can attend me to a luncheon tomorrow at noon." he says.

Am I seriously considering this? dear lord. what has happened to me?

"What time should I be ready?"

"I'll come pick you up at 11:30." he smiles.

"See you then." I go to close the door.

"Wait! I didn't catch your name." he held the door open.

"Evanjuleene. Evanjuleene Irvington." I nod and we part ways.

Yep. I have horrible excuses. I have been so busy with school and 'After' came out so I was engrossed into it. Please forgive me? Love you all!
