Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you like the drama in the end of this chapter! Media is Aryas outfit. Here's the promised chapter and it even ties into Christmas!

-

I couldn't wait for the ball this evening! The girls had taken me dress shopping and I found the most gorgeous red gown.

I glance at the time. Two hours to go! I have to start getting ready now or I'll be late!

I take my clothes off and pull a robe on. I walk into the bathroom and start doing my makeup. I put on light foundation. I wanted my eyes to pop so I give myself mainly gold eyeshadow with black and purple on the edges. I put on an overload of mascara because my eyelashes were one of my favourite features. I add deep red lipstick.

I smile at the finished look, I loved it.

Then I work at my hair. It takes me forty five minutes to do, but I love the finished look. I put on my black tattoo choker and then my gold ear cuff.

Happy with it, I go put on my dress. I slip on the plain black heels before looking at myself in the mirror. I fall in love with the look.

I grab my black clutch and put mascara and lipstick in, just in case I need a touch up. I add my phone before walking out of the dorm.

I gasp seeing the limo Xavier promised me. I didn't think he meant it when he told me. A man comes out and opens the door for me.

"Thank you." I smile, sliding in.

I smile even wider seeing Adrian already in the limo.

He closes the door and we're driven off to a huge castle like mansion. We pull up and the door is opened for us.

Adrian steps out and holds a hand out for me. I take it and we walk up the steps and through the big doors. We're graced with beautiful live music sounding from another room and a butler. I hand him the invitation and he leads us to the room.

I walk into the huge ball room with a small gasp.

"Adrian, it's... Beautiful!" I murmur.

"Just like you are tonight Arya." Adrian chuckles.

"I have a feeling that's the best compliment I'll get from you." I snort.

"It is." Adrian smirks.

Xavier walks up. "Hello Arya and...?"

"This is my brother, Adrian. Adrian, this is the man who invited us, Xavier." I introduce.

"Nice to meet you Adrian." Xavier says, sticking his hand out. They shake hands before Adrian whispers something about a girl he likes and he walks off.

"It's really pretty here." I say to Xavier.

"Thank you." He chuckles. "You also look very stunning tonight."

I blush. "Thank you."

"I'll see you soon, I have to talk to some people, says my mother." Xavier makes a face.

I laugh. "See you later."

We both walk away, I go to the food table and pick up a cookie. I eat it delicately, still managing to get crumbs on my lipstick. I lick them off, trying not the ruin the lipstick.

I look around and a handsome someone catches my eye.

Alex is walking towards me, looking good as ever in his suit and combed back hair, his bandana off. Although, I think I prefer his messy kind of style though.

"I didn't know you'd be here." Alex says.

"Xavier invited me." I explain.

"Care for a dance gorgeous?" Alex smiles, holding out a hand.

"I'd love one." I smile back, taking his hand.

He sweeps me away onto the dance floor.

I stare into his eyes as we dance, his brown eyes so captivating. So perfect. I love this man so much.

Alex's POV

I spot Arya, and I do a double take. Oh my, she's beautiful.

A red sleeveless gown on. Arya's hair in some beautiful wild up-do and her lips devil red, her blue eyes popping and her eyelashes a dark black.

I walk over and she looks over at me. She scans me over, her eyes lingering on my hair.

"I didn't know you'd be here." I say.

"Xavier invited me." She says casually. Why did my cousin Xavier invite her?

"Care for a dance gorgeous?" I smile, holding out a hand.

"I'd love one." Arya smiles her award winning smile before taking my hand.

I sweep her off onto the dance floor. Spinning her in circles, staring into her beautiful blue eyes as she stares into my boring brown ones. I love this woman so much.

***

Arya was pulled away by her brother, I watch as they dance, talking to each other in what seems like a serious conversation.

Xavier walks up to me with a serious expression.

"Hey, I call Arya." He says.

"Excuse me, what? Arya is my girlfriend." I snap.
