Norma Jean The Dancing Machine- Oh, good I'm glad.

Kristinekat13- Yes, Jayden loves her. It would be cool. Have you seen the play? The costumes I am using are mostly the ones from the play, with the exception of the black one for the cemetery scene. That is a good idea, but not where I am heading.

Gerry ISU Chick04- You did review it earlier. You may not have Jayden... HE IS MINE!

Keeper Music Night- I know, Josh is sooooo cute, isn't he, but Jayden is... Just read... Thank you. I'm glad you think
that, but it takes me two days to write two pages, so it takes a while for this good stuff to come out.

Angel of the Mask- What Jayden doesn't know.

Willow Rose- LOL I love getting awsome reviews like yours. Thank you for your dislike of Foppy Foppishness.

Maluruloki- I used to do Balett, Jazz and Tap, but as of right now I am only doing Tap. Made-up-on-the-spot is always good, though.

India Pyro- Fine then, I will

Baby-Vixen- She is going to... I don't know, why don't you read about it?

Horsegal- Horses, eh? I love horses! Are you a new reader? (Kuddos to you)

Maska- I know YOU love him... Just wait, and read. You may borrow Josh, and either Mattieu or Jerome, but nor Dominique, he is MINE!

Crystal Sister-Glad you like it. No, you can't say enough.
Horror fanatic6990- Me niether... I mean... I have a handle on the situation. I know everything... yes, what will she do.
The Angel's Maggie- It's coming, but I needed to write this chapter to show you how different Josh and Jayden really are.
Amaterasu- I can't wait either! I also think Christine made a mistake, but I can see where she is coming from. I think she is stupid because she thought that Erik loving her so much was creepy. What a ditz!
RoSeQuEen- Yes, Jayden will be in the next one. He is so sweet. (When has he been sweet to you? How did you get a hold of him?)

Chapter 33- Sweet Seduction

The seamstress returned swearing rather loudly. Apparently, Josh hadn't been lying about Michelle's fitter quitting. The woman looked quite miffed about something, and when Annie asked her if everything was okay she answered not to worry. The woman smiled, warmly and then helped Annie out of the black gown.

The next gown to be tried was the yellow and brown 'Aminta' costume. Annie was helped into this one, and once again she found herself struggling to breath. How, she wondered was she going to sing when she couldn't really breath.

"Don't worry, sweetie," Said the seamstress, "I won't do it up so tight the night of the performance."

"Thank you." Annie said, trying to take a deep breath.

The woman turned her around. She stared into the mirror. The White ruffles under her brown corset protruded beautifully. There were red flowers on her black and yellow skirt, which was finished off with a brown net shawl and lay in a ruffled end just bellow her knee. Her waist seemed to be only twelve inches, and though her chest was completely covered, it looked amazing.

The seamstress perfected all of the hems and pricked and poked until she was satisfied with the dress, and then she helped Annie out of this one. Their time was almost up, but the woman wanted Annie to try on the last outfit. The wedding dress.

The white ruffles flew over her head, and surprisingly enough, they were quite easy to put on. The woman told her that this was because Annie must change very quickly from the 'Aminta' costume into the wedding dress. This was understandable, as there was only about a minute to change.

The wedding dress was not nearly as tight as the others had been. The white corset was form fitted, but not as securely. The white skirts flowed magnificently over her long legs, and the waves of fabric at the bottom covered her feet completely.

Annie decided that this was her favorite costume. She liked that it wasn't as tight, and that it was as clear as a pearl made it all the more beautiful. She liked the small beading on the front and she loved the white tassels that hung lightly from the sleeves which where cap sleeves. When she moved the dress glistened in the bright lights of the dressing room. She smiled to herself.

Annie hadn't heard the door open, but she heard a male voice speak. "You look beautiful, my Ladybug."

Annie and the seamstress both turned to see Jayden standing in his Don Juan suite and cape in front of a closed door. The woman looked between Annie and Jayden and seeing she was not necessary, she said, "I have to go check on something."

"No, wait," Annie said, but the woman was already gone.

Jayden stepped into the room further, and looked her up and down. Annie shifted uncomfortably on the stool on which she stood. He noticed and taking his eyes from her, he sat in the chair which Annie and Josh had recently sat. (A/N Spooned more like it…)

Annie stared at him for a moment, and when he remained silent, she asked, "Is something wrong?" She hoped she sounded fairly innocent.

"No…" Jayden said, leaning up a little in the chair. "I just wanted to speak with you."

Annie stepped off of the stool, and then seeing no other place to sit, she sat on it. He smiled at her charm, which he was sure she was unaware of. She shifted, uncomfortably again. She didn't like the way he stared at her, the way he smiled with lustful eyes.

"What did you want to talk about?" Annie said, playing with the detailing on her dress.

"Nothing, I only wished to speak with you." Jayden replied, and then he stood.

She looked down, knowing that he knew her every weakness. She heard him walk to her, and saw his feet in front of her. She didn't look up and after a minute he asked, "Is something wrong, Ladybug?"

She shook her head, once again refusing to look up. He knelt down in front of her, and placed his hand, delicately under her chin. He lifted it up, and Annie found his face very close to hers. She shivered, both in delight and in pure terror.

He placed his hands erotically on her waist. She looked up into his eyes. First she thought he meant that he thought she was cold, by her shiver. Then Annie realized he was trying to seduce her, and she panicked.

She stood quickly and Jayden followed suite not too slowly after her. She breathed heavily, and then said, quickly, "I think you need to leave."

He placed another seductive arm around her, and shook his head. "I don't need to." He said. Annie closed her eyes, sure he was about to kiss her, and almost wanting it, but sure she didn't want to upset him, she would let it happen. He didn't kiss her, and so she opened her eyes.

Jayden pulled back, and raising his shoulders in a sort of cutesy shrug, he said, "But if you wish, than I will leave." And he did so.

Annie stood, confused and for some odd reason very drained, staring at the door through which Jayden had exited. After a moment the seamstress returned and helped a mystified Annie out of the beautiful white gown.

"You seem to have many young men comin' around." She said.

"Yeah…"

"Well, I'd steer clear of that first one who came in, the blonde. He walked outta here and punched a wall. Had to go have it wrapped."
