Chapter 9- Ballroom Dancing

The next day went by quickly , Mariyah ended her shift at 6pm giving her 2 hour to get ready. She called her Bff, Yuri for help since she didn't know anything about dressing to impress. Yuri came to her apartment and joyfully dressed her up, Yuri was know to be a fashion diva, she styled her hair, did her makeup and made everything to fit perfectly. "Ready!" Yuri said with excitement, Mariyah looked at the mirror and couldn't believe how she looked, she thanked Yuri and looked at the time, it was 7:58, "Good luck bestie."Yuri said as she got prepared to leave.

At 8 on the dot there was a knock on the door, Mariyah felt her heartbeat increase as she opened it, low and behold it was Devonte, dressed in a purple and white tuxedo, his hair was curly as usual but he looked better than ever. "I see you accepted my gift." he said with a smile , "I just want to know what it feels like to go to a ball." she said and walked past him, she entered the black limousine and didn't talk to him for the entire ride.

(Devonte's POV)

He couldn't believe she was still angry at him after he gave her the dress and even offered to take her to his family ball as his date, she better behave properly, luckily Davis his butler would help him and make her to be able to forgive him.

(Mariyah's POV)

The limousine made it's way to a mansion, a huge one, there was a garden and well a lot of fancy cars and people where there at the exterior of the people, Mariyah couldn't help but wonder what the interior would look like. "Let me help you. " Devonte said as she opened the door, he stretched out her hand she looked at his face before giving in and allowing him to hold her hands as they walked in the mansion.

Gold! All she saw was Gold! 'They must be filthy rich then.' she said to herself, they were obviously rich, the mansion was literally like a hotel, the place was a bit crowded so she couldn't help but follow Devonte through the crowds as he led her to a special spot in the house, "Hello Lady." a voice suddenly cut her off her tracks , she looked and saw a man who looked like Devonte, they both had curly hair and the same eyes but he just didn't look like her was a generous person. "Hi." she replied , totally ignoring the fact that Devonte was behind her.

"My are you such a beauty, what's your name?" he asked. "I'm Mariyah , nice to meet you." she replied with a smile, she didn't notice the frown on Devonte's face. "I'm Devin, Devonte's brother." he said with a smile . "It's a pleasure." , "Um let me take you to the-" he got interrupted , "No need, I'm with her for the whole night." Devonte finally spoke. Mariyah was enjoying talking with Devin but she had to obey her ex-boss. "Bye!" she said when Devonte suddenly started pulling her away from him.

The music suddenly changed to a slow one."May I have this dance?" he asked with smile, "Sure." she replied as they started moving to the rhythm, she didn't even know she was blushing as they were dancing.
