3- The Ball

Lucas's P.O.V.

Lexi just walked out the door, I watched as she got into the Uber and drove away. I turned around with a big smile on my face as I shut the door. I leaned on the door and brought my hands up to my heart, "Boys, I think I'm in love with that woman."

They all started laughing. "You must be, what were you thinking bringing her back here, we never bring anybody here?" Max asked.

"I don't know, I wasn't thinking. That woman is intoxicating."

"She looks so familiar? I hope one of us hasn't fucked her too." Ben joked.

That pissed me off, "Seriously? I'm happy and just had the most amazing sex of my life and you want to ruin that?"

Ben raised his hands in defense with a chuckle.

All the guys laughed but I didn't think it was funny. "Actually, she does look familiar. Maybe she just has one of those faces." Max said.

As the day went on, my mind was still thinking about my brown eyed beauty.

I was sitting in my office with some of the guys when my father called.

"Hello."

"Hello Son, How did the trade go?"

"Fine, Carlos is an idiot though."

He started laughing, "I know, but he buys well. Anyways, another reason I'm calling is because I was wondering if you wanted to attend the Governor's Ball with me tonight?"

"Fuck no! Why the hell would I want to do that?"

"Maybe to get on his good side. He's moving up the political ladder, he'd be a good person to have on our side."

I groaned, I most certainly did not want to do this. "What time?"

"8:00pm."

"Fine."

"Perfect, see you later."

I hung up with my dad, "So, who wants to join me for the Governor's Ball tonight?"

Lexi's P.O.V.

I was running around trying to get everything set for my dad's party tonight. I organized the whole thing, It was coming along great except now, I was running out of time to finish.

I feel bad ordering people around but I was in a mad panic because it started in an hour and I still had to get dressed.

"Hey, it looks great in here." Peter said, looking around.

Peter was one of my good friends. He's the son of one of my dad's campaign managers. "Thank you, I have a huge, huge favor to ask of you. Can you make sure the caterers get all the hors d'oeuvres set up on those tables over there, and then the drinks will be served over on that table. I need to go get ready."

"Sure, no problem."

I gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Thank you so much, I owe you!"

I took off running upstairs. I locked my door, and quickly got undressed. After my shower, I brushed my teeth and started blow drying my hair. I fixed my hair up, applying light make-up. My gown was beautiful, it was a 'thank you for all your hard work' from my parents and I was so excited to wear it tonight.

I did the final touches before I headed for the door. Walking out, I noticed a note with a single rose laying on the floor. I closed my door, locking it. I picked up the note with shaky hands, no one was allowed up on this floor for events. The note read...
