Chapter 4 The Ball
The moon was only a crescent in the sky as guests arrived on the clear evening. By the time Mac arrived dozens of people in fancy ball gowns lined the interior of the building. As she walked through the grand double doors she saw glasses of campaign sparkling in people's hands, as they laughed and talked. A tingle of excitement ran through her as she saw her friends in the corner, and quickly made her way over to them.
"Mac!" said Harriet, excitedly as Mac came to join them.
"Hey Harriet, Jen, Bud." She pulled Harriet and Jen over to the side and asked, "Have you guys seen Harm? Is he here yet?"
"Honestly I don't know," Harriet said.
"I can't recognize anyone except us," added Jen.
Meanwhile……..
This is just great, Harm thought to himself, sarcastically as he traveled through the crowd. He had arrived 30 minutes ago and already he was getting into trouble. He had thought he had seen Mac when he got inside the building, and approached her. It turned out that it wasn't her, but the lady insisted on giving him her phone number. He had gotten a dozen more unwanted numbers in his search for Mac. Also their was this crazy lady somewhere around that kept following him. She kept insisting that they were meant for each other. He had excused himself and now whenever he saw her he was careful to dodge her. This is wonderful he said again sarcastically, I have danced with about 15 people, haven't been able to find Mac and now soon crazy woman is following me. This is not as easy as I thought it would be.
Back at the food area Mac was having that same thought. After she had left Harriet she had mingled a little, trying to find Harm, without luck. She had to admit to herself that she really didn't recognize hardly anyone there. She was also tired of getting hit on by over confident business men and she just wanted to find Harm so that it would all be over. Personally I want to feel Harm safely beside me. Whoa! Where did that thought come from? I am not dating Harm I am dating Webb. Webb! But the only person that she truly wanted to seen then was Harm.
One hour went by and it was seven when they both decided to enjoy themselves, by listening to the music and dancing with random people. They were rotating partner changes now and Mac started dancing with this guy. She couldn't see who he was because of his mask, but she felt a strong attachment to him. It was something about the way their hands fit together and how their bodies swayed to the music that drew her attention to him. She could tell that he felt the same and they moved closer to each other when the song became slower. She was starting to think that maybe Harriet was right when she said that she would meet someone special tonight.
Meanwhile……..
Harm was also dancing with someone and she had long brown hair and gorgeous eyes. Sort of like Macs he thought but that was impossible because she had long hair. He had been drawn to her when they had started dancing. Harm slowly stopped and reached to pull his mask of, and she did the same. They revealed who they were and were shocked at the sight.
"Harm?" Mac asked completely bewildered.
"Mac?" He said equally confused. "Your hair is long."
"Yeah, it's called a wig," she said pulling it off, and she shook out her natural hair. "Your eyes are blue and your hair is blond." she added.
"Contacts and hair die," he replied. "I was trying to fool you."
"Well I recognized you."
"We recognized each other at the same time," he said. "That means I….nooo...I have to eat steak! But you have to cancel on Webb so I guess that it was worth it. It was weird though how we both took out masks off for each other."
Yeah, it was she thought thinking; he's the person that Harriet said I would meet and have a special connection with. Just as Mac was sorting out her thoughts, a voice came from behind them making Harm jumped.
"There you are," said the voice from behind Harm making him jump again and cringe. "I have been looking for you," she said. It was the lady that had been bothering Harm all night. "You must agree that we are meant for each other. Don't you feel it because I do."
Harm looked at Mac, as his eyes pleaded for help.
Mac quickly thought of something. "I don't know who you are but this is my husband, so back off."
"I tried to tell you," Harm piped up, putting his hand protectively around her. "I am married man."
"All man!" the lady said. "The cute ones or always taken."
Well that's the end of chapter 4. There is only one more chapter to go. So please review and tell me what you think. Don't worry next chapter you will find out how Mac rejects Webb. (Evil laugh).
Please review you know you want to…..
