[Guys, I don't know...It's slightly historical but complexity fictitious so...I don't think it makes much sense but I hope you all enjoy it anyways. xx]
Zayn didn't know where she came from or where she went after the sun began to rise, but he did know he'd see her again the same time next year. It was almost three years ago when he first saw her and he, like every other man there, was truly captivated by her presence.
It was at a Halloween party that his friend Louis invited him to when he saw her. There was this girl dressed as a witch, Perrie, that had been talking to him, she seemed very interested in having him stir her cauldron with his laddel later on after the party. He thought she was pretty with her nose ring that always caught the light of the disco ball and gleamed, and her alluring azure eyes that were glazing over with every sip of her Cosmo from the open bar. So Zayn didn't mind accompanying her home tonight if it meant he'd get a treat after knocking on her door.
But then She walked in.
She sauntered in, commanding everyone's attention and every male there fell at her feet, Zayn only found it fitting how she was dressed as Cleopatra. She, this Cleopatra, was more bewitching than Perrie the witch was. She exuded power, confidence and sex appeal as she demanded everyones respect. Every male at the party drooled on themselves hoping that they would be the lucky guy that would go home with her that night, even Zayn himself. He would readily ditch this witch for Cleopatra with no regrets, the more Perrie talked, the less attractive she became; Zayn felt like she needed to cast a silencing spell on herself.
But he did not leave with Cleopatra that night.
She left with some guy named Harry who was dressed as Mick Jagger.
A year later he was back at the same place for another party.
He found out that the host, Niall, was a friend of Louis' and did this every year. There were never any formal invitations, it was a word of mouth kind of shindig. You tell a friend, they tell two friends, they tell four friends and so began the domino effect until the last piece fell and the house was hot, sweaty and packed wall to wall with people dressed in costumes ranging from lame, to adorable, to sexy, to terrifying. He had to give it to Niall, it was swanky and at least it had themes that the guests were told to dress by if they were up to it; this year it was superheroes, last year it was people from history. Zayn was dressed up as Green Lantern this year (last year he choose to be a sexy Abraham Lincoln) and he wondered if She would be there and who She would be dressed as. He loved the idea of Her dressed as Wonder Woman or better yet, Hawk Girl so they could couple up, but as long as She kept it in the DC universe, he had no complaints.
It didn't happen.
But She did appear that night and the results were the same, the men stopped and stared while the women stopped and glared. She was still dressed as Cleopatra though, not that he minded when this outfit was more intricate than the last. The costume itself was different, but it was obviously of Egyptian inspiration and design. She had the crown, jewelry and matching makeup, Zayn thought it was unfair to the other ladies when her costume looked perfect on her.
Zayn thought he would get a chance to speak with Her this time, last year she evaded him, She danced around him and ignored him entirely. This time he wanted to catch her, maybe by the open bar where he could order Her a drink and start a conversation. Maybe one with a little something about Cleopatra herself since this seductress came to the party dressed as her two years in a row.
He almost had Her too.
She was right there, he only had to reach out and tap her very exposed shoulder and ask for her name. But a girl he had danced with earlier dressed as Black Widow, her name was Jade, had intercepted him and pulled him back to where everyone else was dancing. Jade was beautiful. Pretty eyes, bright smile, she had the cutest nose too... Zayn wondered why someone who looked so innocent would dress up as Black Widow, of all characters. He thought she was more of a Kitty Pryde from X-men type, but it didn't matter once he pulled off her ridiculous wig that night at her house.
