**Delilah**

The day has finally arrived. The day of the masked ball.

"I'm so doing your makeup", Danielle gleams.

"I'll won't protest againt that, since I'm horrible at these things", I shoot back and she celebrates doing her happy dance.

I laugh as I walk into my room. Suddenly my phone buzzes and the screen lights up.

I smile knowing who it's from even though it's from an unknown number.

Good morning cupcake, be ready at 1, a limo should be there to pick you up soon.

Unknown 8:16

It's Blake by the way . See you soon sweetheart.😉

--------------------------------------------------

I smile at his last message, since I already figured who the message was sent by. A blush creeps on my face as I read the word 'cupcake', but my blood flows to my cheeks as I read 'sweetheart'.

I smile widely and I reply with a  simple 'thank you' placing a flower emoji next to it. My bed sinks at my weight as I fall onto my bed with a ridiculous grin on my face.

I stare up onto the ceiling watching the way the wind blows through my open window, moving the ceiling fan placed in the middle of my room spinning around in a circle. I let out a laugh placing my hand over my mouth feeling like a teenager all over again. I missed the warm feeling on my cheeks at the way Blake makes me blush. The fuzzy feeling I get in my stomch when he stares deep into my eyes, as if he can see behind them entering my thoughts. The butterflies that fly around in my stomach that the mere thought of Blake, also known as Mr Cooper. The high titled name the world knows him by......Mr.

I frown as I realise something. Why would a world wide company owner like someone like me? Someone who lifes a normal life with problems that will take time  to fix.....or to heal broke  wounds. Why would he even leave someone as beautiful as Bethany for someone like me? I mean I have no special features, I'm just the girl with common big brown eyes and brown hair. I'm just......me.

I shake my thoughts out my head, not allowing my thoughts to invade me today.

Letting out a heavy sigh, using my feet I push myself off the bed walking to the dress I specially put aside for tonight. I smile feeling the fabric between my fingers.

Sliding into the dress, I lift up the zip. I smile as I admire the dress in the mirror. The way it hugs my small frame, slimming at the bottom giving it alittle flare.

"Delilah-", Dani walks in stopping at she sees me.

"Woah", she gasps and I smile widely.

"You look stunning", she says walking towards me. "Now for the final touch", she gleams wiggling her make-up bag in the air all excited.

I laugh was I take a seat. First she ties my hair to the back, clearing my face. Using a blending sponge, she places some concealer onto it before her doing what she does best..... creating art.

After applying some blush, mascara, and some eyeshadow creating the Smokey eye look, she took a step back pleased with her work. She smiled brightly at me and I didn't doubt a single thought in my mind that she has done a perfect job. Since she is the dancer, and excellent painter between the two of us. Overall, she is more of the artistic. That's why we go great together. I sing and she dance....The  perfect combination, and that's why she's my bestfriend.

I turn my body towards the mirror but she quickly stops me, "no not so fast, we still have to do your hair", she states and I nod as she turns on the flat- iron.

Carefully she straightens my hair letting it fall to my shoulders. Soon she finishes styling my hair, making sure every hair is in place.....such a perfectionist.

She turns my chair towards the long mirror which hangs on my wall, awaiting my reaction.

I playfully gasp placing a shocking look at my face and her once joyful smile fades into a frown.

"You hate it don't you", she biting her lip nervously.

"Just kidding", I squeal. "I love it", I say truthfully not even recognising myself.

She playfully hits the side of my back letting out a sigh. "Don't you that I thought you hated it".

"Dani it's amazing", I say hugging her and she lets out a sigh of relief.

"You really look like a model", she says staring at me and I laugh.

"Well look at the time, your limo will be arriving any minute now", she says shooting me a wink.

"By the way......", she states pausing biting her lip breaking a smile.

"The keys are in my draw", I say boredly already knowing what she's about to ask.

"Thanks you the best", she says squeezing me in a hug. "Yeah I know I reply", with a grin.

"You know I need the gold Lamborghini because I'm single and it's the best way to grab guys attention", she states  with a grin. "Yeah have fun", I say playfully pushing her side.

"But be careful, it costs more than our lives........combined", I say and she lets out a laugh.

"Trust me, I know", she returns through a laugh waving her hands in surrender.

"I think your ride is here",  Dani says walking to the front door. I glance one last time in the mirror, with a satisfied smile I grab my gold purse making my way to the door.

A whistle sound soon follow as I come into view. I smile as I see Martin in a black tux.

"Miss Delilah", he coos taking off he's hat. "Mr Cooper is one lucky guy", he smiles looking at me causing me to blush at the mention of Blake.

"Are you ready?", he asks checking he's black watch on his arm.

I smile at Danielle before narrowing my eyes. "Be careful with my baby", I snarl refering to the Lamborghini.

"Yeah, yeah I will. Say hi to your boyfriend for me", Dani shoots and I blush deeply.

"He's so not my boyfriend", I shoot back and she laughs.

"Yet", Martin and Danielle sing together and I roll my eyes. Failing miserably as I try to hide my wide smile and red cheeks. Butterflies explode through my stomach at the thought of Blake and I........together.
