Celeste was wearing a long purple gown with frills at the end. The gown was getting shades lighter with every step towards the bottom. She was wearing high pointed heels and was standing in a curvy way with her elbow stretched backwards and her left hand rested on her slim waist. Maxon looked at me disappointingly. I wondered for a moment that the thing which was happening with me right now was so impossible. No other girl was with Daniel except me. Was I so unlucky?

Maxon was proceeding towards me but Celeste gripped his hand and didn't let him walk away from her. After turning, Celeste looked at Maxon with sympathy and kindness. I couldn't presume what he may be thinking about me or Daniel but I was sure that he was not happy with his current situation.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are here to present our first performance of Waltz dance between both the teams. On our left side are Prince Maxon and Lady Celeste and on the right are standing Prince Daniel with Lady America." A man spoke.

I was startled by this sudden announcement. Suddenly, the lights went off and the whole podium shined like a midnight star with spotlight over the glossy finish. The music began and I recognized it right away because it was my favorite song "Love me like you do". I looked at Maxon and he grabbed Celeste's waist for a quirky start, I suppose. Neither did he nor Celeste gaze at me or at us for a second before the start. I felt something lurking behind my waist and I realized it was Daniel. Oh my God…he lifted me up towards the sky and that earned a great amount of cheering from the audience. Celeste gazed at me when I was being lifted by Daniel. I felt like…so special.

This night felt so romantic and it brought chills to my body. I closed my eyes and tried to get lost in that spin towards the sky. The song was rolling in my mind all the way long…

"Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight

My head spinning around I can't see clear no more….

What are you waiting for?"

I felt quivers all over my skin. This feeling and experience was storming inside of me. Daniel put me down and the chorus of the song came and we were not at all apart from each other. His body was touching mine. He lifted me more towards himself by my waist and I closed my eyes in that moment.

He whispered, "You look AMAZING…!"

His warm breathe send shivers to my cold spine and made me awake in that particular moment and when I opened my eyes and saw a whole crowd of audience and Maxon and Celeste hand in hand, I suddenly realized that we weren't alone. When he whispered, I was startled and I widened my eyes in surprise.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing…I…um…was just thinking about…." I spoke hesitantly.

His constant gaze was making me nervous. I wish I had never opened my eyes. But, being in his arms was breathtaking.

"Thinking about what?" he asked

"Just…about…our performance." I uttered somehow.

I looked to the ground thinking that he may not catch me with my stupid lie. I just couldn't speak that all of which was roaming inside my head was HIM.
