buttons pooped out. Her hair was loose with no make. She was
looking gorgeous. Edward couldn’t take his eyes out.
“Hello Edward,” she smiled to him,” Please
come inside”
She indicated him to enter and he entered
inside. The hall was huge with all the wooden furniture. Sunlight was
everywhere in the room, making it brighter.
“Have a seat” she said to him. He nodded
and sat on the couch.
“So? What brought you here?” She asked him
as the servant gave him orange juice. He took it and drank it.
“Well,” he cleared his throat, “Tomorrow in
the palace, there is a Ball. I came here to invite you,” he handed her the
invitation.
“Oh! That’s great. I will come,” she kept
looking at the invitation. Edward couldn’t stand anymore so he decides to
leave. Elena shot a glance to him.
“I have to leave now,” he stood up and
walked to the door. He saw that Elena didn’t follow him to the door.
Once he was out of the house and entered
the car, he let out a breath and sighed deeply. That was too hard to handle… he
thought.
He turned his car as it passed through the
large iron gates but with a swift glance in his rear-view mirror he saw Elena
standing in her balcony and watching him.
He is officially mad… he thought.

Sam started her work with the theme of the
ball. It’s the color theme with black and red combination. She thought of every
possible decoration but couldn’t manage to decide it. Arrangement was never her
part. She was worst in deciding anything to arrange. Even Stefan knows it. He
helped her during the time of their prom.
They were given the auditorium of their
university, along with Sam and Stefan, and some of their classmates. They used
to have fun while decorating. Stefan handled the invitations while Sam handled
the arrangements. Every day they used to be together, make fun with others and
enjoyed. Stefan used to help her in decoration and also gave advices. He used
to hold her while decorating the walls. Sam uses to cook lunch for Stefan so
that they can have lunch together. Those were the lovely days for Sam.
Those days Stefan used to kiss her when
they were alone. Those kisses were simple at first that turned into passionate.
Somewhere in her heart she knew that this relationship will work. But it never
worked out. She cleared her mind and started doing her work. She knew the best
to handle this is to call Rose. She took her phone and started dialling when
she heard Edward calling her. She was standing on the huge stairs. She turned
and saw Edward at the last step. He smiled at her and started walking towards
her.
“Hi, busy?” He yelled.
“Hi, well not busy but I am thinking about
the Ball,” she smiled at him.
He checked his watch “well its lunch time.
Come let’s have it,”
She had work to do but she was hungry so
she nodded and told him to wait so that she can change herself. She went to the
room and bathed. She wore a causal low hip jean with a white lace jumper. She
applied some make-up. She thought it’s just casual lunch and she was looking
casual.
Edward was talking to one the employee when
she went there. He looked quite serious but also nervous.
“I am ready,” she said cheerfully,
“You look fresh and beautiful,” he smiled
and she smiled back.
They started walking outside the hall and
entered the corridor. Sam still doesn’t know the paths well. She still finds
herself in a strange room when she gets lost.
“Thanks. So where are we going?” She asked
him once they were outside the hall.
“Nothing far. Just here,” he said casually.
“Here in palace?” She sounded shocked.
“Yes, along with her majesty and the
prince,” now she couldn’t believe that.
“Oh no, you should say that before, I never
dine with them,” she stopped and looked shocked.
“You will love it,” he assured her and kept
his hand around her without touching her.
“Well, I am not dressed properly,” she
insisted.
“Don’t worry, you look
