Midnight Ball

I stepped closer to the entrance of the Moss Estate as I watched groups of people entering the house. I started to become nervous so I took in a huge breath as I walked up to the Doorman. I gave him a friendly smile as I stopped in front of him. He smiled at me.

"May I see your invitation, Miss?"

"Er... Yes, sorry."

I opened my purse and took out my invitation and showed the Doorman. He smiled at me.

"May, I have your name, Miss?"

"Yes, You may... It's Harper Black."

I gave the Doorman a smile and he gave me a smirk.

"This way Miss Black, and have a pleasant evening. Oh, just one more thing, Miss. Please wear the mask at all times."

The doorman politely opened the door for me, as I walked through and I called back at him.

"Thank you!"

He bowed back to me. I gave a small smile. Upon entering the main foyer, I gasped in amazement as I looked up and around where I stood. I've never seen so many beautiful things in one place. Another Doorman then spoke.

"May, I take your coat, Miss?"

I spun around at hearing his voice. I smiled at him as I took off my coat. He took the coat from me then opened another door to the ballroom.

"This way, Miss."

I smiled and thanked him as I entered the room. The ballroom was lavish. I've never seen such beauty, as the air in the room filled with different sweet perfumes, and the many colours of dresses clashed against each other at every turn.

A group of nobleman spotted me. I smiled and made my way to the drinks. I spotted other women sitting alone to the side of the room at a table. She sipped at her drink while others danced. So I thought I would join her. As I sat drinking my champagne. I looked up to see the group of fine noblemen upon me. I sat my drink aside as I greeted them.

"If you are not taken, would you kindly like to dance?"

He spoke so formally, I wanted to giggle. I looked at him. I couldn't see much of him as he was wearing his mask, but he had very kind eyes.

"Really York, why must you talk like that? You will scare the poor girl."

Another noblemen spoke out as he gently took my hand with a smile as he kissed the back of it. Another one nobleman then cut in.

"Don't lower yourself with him, I'm a son of Duke Hamilton. May I have the pleasure of this dance?"

Someone else cut through and offered me his hand.

"Maybe I can rescue you from these pest?... Would you be interested in dancing with me?"
He smiled at me with a dashing sexy smile. I giggle at them all.

"It would be my pleasure."

I took his hand as we moved into the ballroom. Am I dreaming right now? His smile is so radiant, it took my breath away. I placed my hand upon his shoulder as we stood together ready to dance, his eyes sparkled into mine.

"I should tell you now, I'm not much of a dancer, as I've never danced before."

He smiled softly as he led me across the floor.

"Relax, and let it flow across your body as I will lead you."

His hand moved tighter around my waist, and it felt like something sparked across the whole of my body. I felt trust in this person as we glided across the ballroom floor.
