Hey guys! I want to thank all of you for all the positive reviews! You guys made my day! I love writing so I'm really glad I've gotten such great input! I updated as soon as I can but I've also been fooling around with my new kobo... sorry! I hope this chapter is to your liking and if not... review, review,review! Anyways, I'll continue the story...
I swept my now back to blond hair up and covered it with a chestnut brown wig that had been cut into a cute brown bob. I left my eyes at the same colour, already sick of all the hiding and deception. I dressed in a silver short dress with thin straps and it stuck to my body in quite flattering ways. I was well aware that Zach would be at the gala tonight.
I topped it all off with sensible midnight black flats. I do admit that I had wanted to wear heels (just for Zach). But I knew that if there were going to be COC agents there as well, I couldn't take the chance.
I walked in the humid air to the Trinity Centre. I could hear classical music playing and the low murmur of chatter. I took a couple of deep breaths, calming my always fluttering heart and trying to maintain a level head.
I then hopped up the steps and snuck in.
Inside was a sprawling ballroom filled with elegant, fancily dressed, high society people. I surveilled my surroundings, there were waiters serving some pretty disgusting looking ordeurves but that was the only thing out of the ordinary.
That is when I spotted Liz. Her skinny figure was complimented by a sprawling green satin dress. It helped her appear taller as the dress would normally sweep past her knees whereas she wore matching emerald, bamboo wedges. They were not insensibly high but she fit into the party very well.
I began to search frantically. Surely my other friends weren't here as well. But I knew they were before I saw them.
Bex stood by one of the walls, 100% as much a British bombshell as usual. She wore a knee-length, electric blue dress with a slit an inch from being cut up to her hip. Her hair was straightened and edgy with sparkling samphire studs in her ears. She wore black gladiator sandals which topped off her ensemble.
Not far away, talking to a young man dressed in a grey tux was Macey, the fashonista herself. She wore a scarlet red dress that stopped an inch from her knees, a necklace with a flower shaped diamond, and dangling gold hoop earings. She wore her hair in lush waves that flowed elegantly down. To top it off she wore three inch stilettoes. Wow, she was beautiful and fit in well with the high society people.
But my breath hitched as I saw Zach in a dark black tux that truly made him my prince charming. He was heading toward a hallway that led to the bathrooms but I knew that was not the reason he was headed in that direction.
Conquering my better judgment for my heart's desire, I intercepted him before he made it. Forgetting the reason I was there, I stepped directly in his path.
Zach raised his perfectly shaped eyebrows, revealing his stunning green eyes from under his tangled yet perfect brown locks. "Excuse me." He said politely.
"I'm very sorry," I responded, "But I seem to have lost someone very important."
His eyebrows raised even more at this. He then smirked his famous smirk.
"Is there anyway I can assist you on this matter?" he asked, ever more the gentleman I believed he was.
"Well," I bit my lip, recalling all my practice in acting, "I was wondering if you have seen him. He is quite dashing, charming, and always wears this annoying smirk. He has perfect brown hair that sometimes obscures his stunning green eyes. Does this ring a bell." I asked.
Zach's eyes widened in shock before relaxing back into the smirk.
"I think I've seen him around." He answered and then continued, "Hello my Gallagher girl."
He seemed quite happy to see me which of course overjoyed me. I really did miss him.
"Hello Blackthorne boy." I said with a smile before reaching up on my tip toes and kissing him on those perfect lips of his.
Thanks again guys for reading! Hope you liked it! I'll try to write this next one quicker this time! They wouldn't exept the document and I had to fool around with it for a couple of days. Please review!
