Chasing Sunset (COMPLETED)

CHAPTER 23: Meeting Mr. Anonymous

The Ball will be held at the City Gardens function room, one of the famous villa near our school, at exactly six in the evening today, the school decided to exempt the Juniors and Seniors from their classes, to give us time to prepare.

I decided to have a simple and elegant princess cut, semi mermaid satin silver gown, matched with a high bun with braid for my hair. I wear charm rhinestone water drop earrings and its set of necklace, my parents gave to me as a birthday present when I turned 15, and the bracelet Aeon gave me. Aunt Paulette choose the shoes to match my attire, a simple silver high heels, which I don't approved much because my feet might get hurt. Lance and I plan to meet at the place prior to the start of the ball, and I will be going there with my Aunt since she's one of the faculties designated to facilitate the students. Unfortunately, they are required to be there two hours before the event, so I decided to ask Lance to fetch me.

Half past five in the afternoon, someone arrive so I thought it was Lance....

Hi Celine...

What are you doing here? He's wearing a slate silver-grey tuxedo, that highlight more of his manliness physique.

Shouldn't we be together? If you are looking for Lance, we talked this morning and decided that no matter what happens, I will be the one to pick you up, and I also asked your Aunt's permission to be your date tonight, and she said YES! He's really proud his accomplishment.

Okay, as if I have a choice.

Yes, my queen, I did give you a lot of options to still choose me. Remember, I was the very first one to ask you.

You are so... beautiful.... Mesmerizing....

Thank you. You too Ae. You look handsome tonight! Let's go?

Aeon brings with him their family car, and a driver.

Celine, you wear the bracelet I gave you. Does it mean you really chooses me to be your date?

Hmm... I didn't say anything.

Hey, I won the deal. So, it is a Yes!

Maybe... then I kiss him in the cheek to confirm.

His face brightens immediately when I did that sweet act on him.

We arrived at the venue, exactly six in the evening. Almost everyone is already present and we were happily welcomed by our set of friends. The dashing Lance whose wearing a blue grey suit, that matches his eyes, the elegant Chris, who opted to look like a nerd today with his glasses, while wearing a black tuxedo, the stylish Matt with his modern slim fit cut grey suit to show off his abs, the classic look Bern with his royal blue suit that matches with Maika's chick look wearing a royal blue Cinderella like gown.

Hi guys!

You look pretty Celine.

You too Maika. You look like a princess and Bern is your prince.

Thank you. Maika shyly responded.

Hey Celine, you don't like my abs but you choose Aeon, don't you know his abs is more formed than me? Look, I'm more handsome than him.

I only smile at Matt, but I have no idea that Aeon has abs.

Matt, you just wait until later. A lot of girls are willing to dance with you. Let them be together, this will be their night. Chris meddles.

We can meet later Matt if you like.

Let me come with you. Lance answers.

You two, you seem to be fascinated in meeting Celine, without asking my permission, from now on, you are all prohibited to meet her, because she's with me now.
