Chapter 3:
"Acting oblivious yet we both pretend our intoxication might be sensed"
I sashay over to the middle of the dance floor and scan the room for a partner until I see the brown haired man next to me. "May I be your partner Miss Natalia~?" "Dy, mind telling me who you are?" He ignores the question. We begin to dance Cantarella; spin in spin out, do the arm movements and the leaps. When the song is over I ask him again, "Who are you?" "Toris Lorinaitis, Prince of Lithuania." He smiles at me sweetly and I feel a heat in my stomach, I do not know him but something about his face…I just cannot place it. "Will you be staying long?" "For a few months with my friend Feliks, you know him?" Damnit feliks! "Dy, Feliks is my cousin." "He is an interesting man, one of my oldest friends." "I am glad you think highly of him, but I must go." I walk over to talk to Duchess Elizaveta who is currently talking to my sister. I decide not to bother them and return to the dance floor for the mazurka.
"So yeah, like Natalia is totally my cousin." I cannot stop staring at that beautiful girl in the blue dress, Natalia. She reminds me of someone but who?
A soft giggle was heard as Toris felt snow down his back."Hey! Who did that?" the young boy pouted and a figure stepped out from behind a tree a girl with hair as white as snow, wearing a blue dress and a white ribbon atop her head; his best friend. "Gotta catch me Toris!" another giggle before his best friend ran into the woods. Toris eagerly picked up a snowball and ran into the woods to join his friend, he never remembered her name for some reason. He looked around wildly but he couldn't see his friend. A movement behind him showed the girl struggling in a boy's arms. "But Vanya I want to play with my friend Toris!" Toris turned around. "Sestra, it is not proper to play in the snow especially with boys, you are eight and much too old for that." "But Vanya-" "Nyet, no buts inside now." Toris watched as his best friend was taken away by her brother. That was the last time he saw her.
"Like Toris, are you okay?" Toris shook his head."Taip, I am fine just spaced out a little." "You were like totally in a trance." "Oh,i-it's fine I am a little thirsty." "You are in love with her, Tak?" "W-what? I d-do not." "Don't avoid it, you love my cousin~" "No she is just a good dancer," I say hoping he cannot see my fascination with her. "Well she is like the best; her older sister falls second to her." I exhale glad no one can tell my intoxication because if anyone would be able to tell I am "drugged" by her it would be Feliks.
"Natalia, why do you keep glancing at the brown haired man you danced with?" Damn if anyone noticed it would be Katyusha. "He just reminds me of someone, I do not know why…" I cannot let her know he is fascinating to me, never have I seen eyes that green except…. Niama, it is not him. "If you says so~" "I do, I would be content to never dance with him again." That of course was a lie but I obviously cannot tell her the truth. Katyusha pouts, apparently sad about what I said."Aww but you two were-" "Niama, not again." "I see," she said sadness on her voice.
One thing must stay clear, my intoxication with him(her), cannot be sensed. I nod to myself in agreement.
