"Will you come zip my dress Zoe?" I asked my best friend as I held my dress up.
"Yea." She said, walking into my room.
She was wearing a short white dresses and red heels, an inverse of my outfit.
"You look hot (name)." Zoe said, laughing as she zipped up my dress.
"You do too Zoe." I said getting my masquerade mask off of my vanity.
"You ready?" I asked, turning to Zoe, she only nodded.
I smiled before I heard her phone ring causing me smile to fade away.
"I'll just let it ring." Zoe said waving her hand at her phone.
"No get it." I said, putting on a fake smile.
"Are you sure?" She asked rushing over to her phone.
I only nodded and turned back around to the mirror.
Zoe had fixed my makeup and my hair. She thought that if i dressed up and went to this masquerade ball then I would find a man.
Zoe, on the other hand, already had a man, Seth was his name and he played baseball for a living, and she was only going to help me scout out men.
My thoughts were cut short when Zoe spoke, "Hey (name). You don't mind if I go home? Seth just got home and he really wants to see me."
I felt my face drain of color, I hated going out alone and she knew it, "That's okay Zoe." I lied as I turned around, "Go be with Seth."
"Thanks (name). You better text me tomorrow and tell me if you get a man at the ball." She said before rushing out of the room without anther word.
I sighed to my self as I grabbed my phone off my vanity before looking in the mirror one last time.
"I just as well go to this ball anyway. What could it hurt." I mumbled to myself.
My heels clicked across my floor as I walked to the door my phone, mask, and keys in hand.
About thirty minutes later, I arrived at the venue where the ball was being held.
I slipped my mask on gently, not wanting to mess my makeup or my hair up before looking at myself in my phone camera.
A second later, I got out of my car and followed the few people, who were outside, up the stairs and into the building.
Once I was inside, I looked around the huge room and saw people everywhere.
Men and woman were dancing with their masks on. Woman were dressed in various styles some in long dress, some in short, some wearing white, some in bright hot pink. The men all were dressed in basic, bland, suites the only difference was between their ties.
My eyes moved around the room until my eyes fell on a man who was sitting alone. He was handsome from what I could tell.
I walked over to him, my dress flowing behind me as my heels clicked on the hardwood floors.
I took a seat down on the plush leather couch beside the man, who only looked at me.
"Hello." I said, placing one leg over my knee.
"Hey." He said, a beautiful smile spreading across his face as he stood up.
He held his hand out to me, nodding for me to take it.
I placed my hand in his and he helped me up.
He guided me to the middle of the floor where many men and woman were already dancing.
He placed one hand on my waist and one in mine while I placed my free hand on his shoulder.
We instantly started to sway to the music, our eyes never leaving each other's.
Our swaying turned to full out dirty dancing.
Most of the people had moved out of our way to give us room.
I smiled lightly as he dipped me back so far that my hair, that had fallen out of my bun, touched the floor.
Once he moved me back up, our faces were only centimeters away from each other.
"Your really good at dancing." I said, a stupid smile on my face as our breathe mingled together.
"So are you." He said before slamming his lips onto mine.
I kissed him back and the whole room felt like it had disappeared.
The only thing I could feel was his lips on mine and his hands moving to my face.
I wrapped my arms around his neck as his tongue entered my mouth.
His hands slipped from my face, down my arms, to my waist, before finally wrapping around my body to grab my butt.
I gasped lightly as I felt him smirk against my skin as his lips left mine to travel down my face to my neck, his mask tickling my skin.
We stayed like this for hours, his lips moving from my neck to my lips and back again.
All I could do was grip onto him.
Finally, he pulled away, his gelled up hair now was falling into his face, "Your beautiful." He stated, his smiling growing on his face.
"Your pretty handsome yourself." I said, laughing lightly as he moved his hands to hold mine.
"What's your name?" He asked, slipping his mask off his face to revel his beautiful features.
"I'm (name)." I said before blushing brightly.
I never liked telling me my name cause I never knew if they were just gonna use me or if they actually wanted to spend time with me. I trusted that this man actually wanted to spend time with me and that he just wasn't kissing me for the heck of it.
"I'm Brian." He said, placing his mask in his pocket before pulling out his phone.
He unlocked it and clicked around for a flare seconds before handing it to me, "Put your name and number in and I'll take you out anytime you want."
"I would like that a lot Brian." I said, taking his phone before typing in '💃' and putting in my number.
"I'll text you tomorrow." He said, giving me one last kissing.
"Goodbye Brian." I said, holding my mask in my hand as he smiled.
"Goodbye (name)." And with that he left leaving me a smiling mess.
