Luke, Grace and Moose stared with confused eyes as the security guy moved them aside for not having an invitation. Why would Natalie invite them by cellphone when you can't o in without the freaking invitation?

And there's also the fact that the party was formal, every single guest had dresses and suits on. Luckily for Grace, she usually wears dresses, and seeing as they were going to a party, she had decided to wear a pretty short deep red colored cocktail dress. It had a sweetheart neckline meshed with a black see through round neckline, her back was bare except for the tick straps that went down her back in an x form. It also had a cute bow where the two straps intersected each other. Along with the dress, she had on black velvet high heel shoes.

Unfortunately, Moose and Luke didn't dress up.

But they had seen a waiter pulling a rack with other waiter uniforms.

The two guys turned to look at each other with a wicked glint in their eyes.

But before they headed towards the kitchen where the waiter went, Moose went to Grace and placed a hand gently on her cheek.

"You look beautiful by the way, I just didn't have the chance to tell you earlier" He kissed her softly before flashing a bright smile and disappearing to the kitchen.

Grace brushed her thumb along her lower lip while sporting a deep blush.

She couldn't help but smile shyly.

Grace looked around thinking about what she should do, some guests were dancing at the dance floor while others were hanging around the place, eating some snacks.

She walked around for some minutes when she realized that the people were clearing the dancing floor because people were going to perform. Grace couldn't help but move closer.

That was when she found her brother "Luke?" what is he doing there? Grace moved even closer when she also spotted Moose at the dance floor with some girl. They were both wearing simple black masks like the performers.

What is happening?

Grace gasped when someone placed one of the black masks on her face and started tying it for her.

"Wha-" She turned around and found Julien staring right at her with a strange smile.

"J-Julien…"

"May I have this dance with you?" his voice was strangely soft when he spoke.

"I-I am- I Just-" Grace stammered "You can't deny me a dance Grace… We can't make a scene here, I'm well known here, many people are waiting to see me dance" He brought her hand to his lips giving her knuckles a soft kiss. She gasped at this, she looked around looking for her brother or Moose, but they were standing by the performers. The dance hadn't started yet.

Grace looked at her sides and found people looking at them. It seemed like Julien wasn't lying, so she couldn't tell him no, this wasn't her type of crowd, so she would surely be judged and maybe even insulted. She panicked.

"I-I b-but I-"

Julien wrapped an arm softly around her small waist and brought her close to him "I just remembered how beautiful you look in red" he whispered against her temple. He could feel her trembling against his frame.

"Do you remember how to dance tango? I was the one who taught you…" He kissed right temple, then her forehead and down to her nose.

Grace clenched her eyes shut wishing to disappear. He was being gentle, yes, she will admit that, but she had no feelings for him, her heart wasn't hers to give anymore because Moose was the one holding it.

So it was obvious that she wouldn't want to be there, in that situation with Julien.

But still, she nodded obediently for she would cause problems by denying the dance.

Julien started walking towards the dance floor with his arm still around Grace.

"Why are you here?" She whispered to him, effectively managing to keep her voice from sounding shakily. He lowered his head and kissed her pale smooth collarbone, making her take a sharp breath.

"I'm the host of this party, this is a birthday party for Natalie, who is actually my sister"
