Chapter 27

The day of date came so fast. I'd just come home from work and I found a note taped on the railings of the stair case.

I followed the direction written on the note and it led me to my room. On my bed was a note and a box close to it.

'Put this one,I haven't seen it. It was Ella that chose that dress as a favour. I know it would fit you perfectly,winks.

Opening the box,I saw the most gorgeous dress ever,shoe and a mask.

Ella has a good taste!

I quickly ran downstairs and saw her drinking a cup of juice.

"Who helped you in picking that beautiful dress, it's beautiful",I asked her.

"it's a secret", she said.

I gave her a big peck and ran back upstairs to get dressed for the date. I put on the dress and styled my hair looking kinky.

"The dress was so poufy and long.it was a stunning red colour with beading all over the strapless sweetheart top and it trailed down to the side. The mask matched the dress,my hair was made with curls, cascading my back".

Walking down the stairs,Ella and Lucas,her boyfriend were waiting for me downstairs.

I hugged them both,thanking them for their help and they waved me off.

I knew Ashley and Dave were going to be there and they'd texted pictures of what they were wearing so I could find them.

Arriving at the venue,it was inside a tall building. I don't think that I'd never get used to this. it was so stunning and done up really well.

Walking into the giant hall,there were lot of people there. Elegant ball gowns,masks, dancing and laughter filled the room. I stuck up like a lamb. Every other woman were wearing silver or black.

It would be very difficult to find John in all this since they were about 6 or 7 guys putting on a red tie. I spoke to Ashley and Dave for a while before going to look for John.

A guy came up to me and gave me a letter.

"Wait a while before you read it,"he said. His voice wasn't familiar.

After the run in with him, I'm pulled into a dance with a man.Not just any man.

John.

I could tell straight away from his eyes.

"You look good in red, Miss Jasmine". his eyes raved over me appreciately.

After dancing together for a while,he leaned into my ears.

"Come with me"he whispered.

He held my hands and took me with him. We ended up in a rooftop garden. It was so beautiful. There was light hung up, casting a soft glow.

He continued to take me round the corner where there stood two chairs and a single table and it was set for a romantic meal which was so beautiful.

" You did all this?"

He nodded, looking a little bit nervous.

"It's amazing",I breathed.

I couldn't believe that he did all this because of a date.

We ate and talked getting to know more about each other.

I learnt that a year ago he lost someone so close to him,and that is the only detail I know for now.

Once we were done eating,we decided to look at the sky for some minutes.it was so different up there. Iooked at him and he moved over to me and held my hand.

We start to move when the song started playing from where I had no idea from.

The song was one of my favorites.

Kiss me by Ed Sheeran.

All of this felt crazy but I honestly won't change any of it. The thought he had to put into it was so immense.

He moved on of his hands to my face and pulled me closer and we kissed still dancing.

It was the most beautiful moment I have ever been. It felt like something deeper than any of the others we have shared.

Pulling away from the kiss slowly,he spun me and then just held me until the song ended.

Something has shifted tonight. I don't know what it was but I felt so good.

Then he said this world that would change everything.

"Be mine."
