THE CONTRACT : AN UNDYING LOVE 29 Chapter Twenty-Nine

I am really scared about this ball, I mean I've not been to any Royal occasions before and what if I go and do something that'll embarra.s.s me and probably haunt me forever?

"I'm not going, I've changed my mind" I say to Malia who was currently making my hair.

"The next time you tell me you're not going again, I'm gonna cut your tongue so you can't speak again"  she threatened and I keep shut immediately.

Malia my friend, is a big big bully.

"Dong worry sweetheart you'd be just fine. Besides we're all going, I can't believe we were invited to a royal ball, wow" Eunice said as she was fitting her dress on her body.

Yes, Will went ahead to send some guy to us giving us this card and asking for our entire household to be present.

Which include Me, Malia, Eunice, Jason and Peter. We're all going to the royal ball.

I happen to be wearing the red long and very beautifully fitted gown Will got me.

My hair's full black, but Malia was curling the tip, and then she made my make-up it was not too much but it was moderate and I looked very beautiful, I'm admitting it myself.

We were all set and do you know what's more interesting?

Will sent the guy that brought the invitation card to actually pick us up.

He's been in the car for over three hours, I've asked him to come inside but he said no.

"Are you guys ready?" I ask as we stood in front of the door before finally stepping out.

"We should be asking you that" Jason said smiling, with his hands inside his pocket. I shake my head.

"Come on, let's ball" I say and they laugh.

We were driven to the palace, my first time ever visiting a royal home.

I was excited and nervous at the same time. I don't want to do something to ruin everything.

We walk down gently, and my eyes roam about as I see people finely dressed and looking very comfortable.

It was just like the party back in New York, only this one has more people and these people look too good.

We all had feathers on our head. It was attached to this funny cap we were given, Although its really nice and its going with almost everyone's dress.

"The prince will meet you here now" The driver said bowing to me like I was the Queen.

I nodded and that caused my family to chuckle.

"I could get used to this" Malia said, looking at this hot guy and I'm guessing she's crushing already.

"Hey, what about Charles?" I tilt to ask her but she just shrugged and made a hand gestures.

"He's too serious for me and we're not meant to be" was all she said and this time my mouth went wide open.

"I'm glad you're here Miss Amaya" I hear Will's voice behind me and I didn't wanted to move.

"Uhh-" I drag the word and hear him chuckle.

"Miss Amaya?" He called out and Malia nudged my arm and I made an 'ouch' sound. Clearing my throat I turn to him and d.a.m.n he looked so good.

"Hi" I say, looking everywhere but him.

"Are you okay?" He asks

"Hmmm? Me? Ptchh I'm okay" I say nervously

"Relax Miss Amaya" he said sending me his hands and I hesitated but took it anyways.

He lead me inside the building, and just as we stepped in. All eyes was on us, music was being played, and I walked carefully in order not to slip and destroy my life.

It felt like a Cinderella story to me.

We walked to some old woman with white hair, and recognising her from the TV and newspapers she's the Queen.

I bowed when I got to her and she laughed.

"Oh young lady, you are so beautiful" she said as she raise me up, by placing her hands on my shoulder and I follow them up.

"My name is-"

"Amaya, I've been told" she interrupted causing Will to clear his throat.

"Please be sure to have a good time, I'll see you after the party. Happy birthday William" she added, kissing Will on the cheeks and walking away.

"I'm guessing you know who that is already. I'm so sorry I didn't tel-"

"Its okay, I knew right from time. But I wanted you to tell me at your own convenient time" I finished and he exhaled.

I glance around and saw Malia and that guy she was looking at together and I smile.

Then I saw Eunice with this woman, I guess she knows people. The boys were hanging out with kids their age too so I guess everyone's having a good time.

"May I have this dance, Miss Amaya?" Will said bringing me out of my thoughts and I smile

"Of course, my Prince" I say bowing and that caused the both of us to laugh.

He lead me to the middle of the floor, he placed one hand behind my waist, and the other holding my other hand up as my other hand was on his neck.

"You look so beautiful Miss Amaya" he said and I felt my cheeks blush.

"Thank you. You look good too" I replied and we swayed to the slow music playing. All eyes were on us, as we were the only one dancing at the moment.

I looked into Will's eyes and I saw sincerity, they were piercing blue and very beautiful. This was the first time I was seeing his beauty, his jawline was perfectly shaped, his hair was finely made, he had dimples that go deep each time his mouth moves.

He was very handsome.

But something happened.

My mind flew to Chase, I like this feeling around Will. Its peaceful and very nice. But I prefer how I feel with Chase. Chase causes sparkles inside me, Chase's present is something I've never felt before and I miss the way he makes me feel.

I wonder what he's up to right now, is he missing me? Does he think about me?

And that moment, I knew I wasn't over Chase.

For I still love him.
