“what is he thinking about”  I thought “shall we go ? – I asked .

Jackson turn from the window swiftly the smile , vanishing from his lips and giving way to a shocked and surprised expression . he stared at me for a while , as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing . he then seemed to realized what he was doing and snapped his mouth closed . clearing his throat and motioning for the door. Walking ahead of him I smiled at his reaction and blushed little bit . 

The drive to ball was silent as well and I took  the time to stare out . the temperature wasn’t to cold and I was grateful for that cause if it changed I will freeze . I didn’t even notice as Jackson park the car in front camera flashed toward us . I was littrely shaking  with neveness . everyone was shouting to our attention . I watched as valet opened the car door’s Jackson came out Infront of my seat and giving his hand to me . I gladly took his hand and came out of car . “ are you ok ? “ Jackson whisper in my ears . I gave him a nod and we walked in. I can hear people shouting question of who I was to Jackson ? or is he dating and many more. Without answering them we made our way inside. As we reached parlour  , It was already full of people dancing , eating and talking , the sway of colour moving around the space. Jackson led me around the room , introducing me to people and making small talk . His parents were there sitting with some people at table in the corner . there was two empty chair beside  them seem for us.  Everyone complimented my dress emphasizing how beautiful I looked . I smile at them . “ you look amazing Lia “ a cheerful voice spoke from behind me turning back I met rose . we hug each other “ you too cool pretty my dear “ it’s amazing how in so much small time we become so close . “ Jackson and Lia come with us we are having fun there you both should join. “ rose spoke . I turn toward Jackson and then rose ok lets go I drag Jackson with me . The truth was because I actually was bored with the small talk and so much introduction.

As we reached to the place where rose took us , there was everyone I met yesterday Justin, Eric , Jessi , mark , the two girl who are obsessed with Jackson whose name I don’t even know. Eric hug Jackson started talking about thing I don’t know. “ are you really Lia from yesterday, you look really beautiful “ Justin spoke as he hugged me . a hand pulled him away from me . Angry Jackson gritting his teeth while glaring at him . “ oh Jackson keep your distant don’t you know some one is too jealous here” rose spoke.  I looked away from them only to find mark staring at me drinking his wine . I Don’t know why but I really found mark as creep “ I looked away from them . stepping in front of me Jackson offered me his hand . “ come dance with me “ without thinking anything I let him take me .   Following him in centre . He settled his arm around my waist and his hand on mine , ha began swaying from side to side , leading me with his body . I felt comfort in his arms . I don’t know why. Staring at my eyes he spoke “ you look beautiful tonight “. Oh god I know I am blushing hard. I lowered my graze . focused on not tripping .  you are blushing “ he spoke in my ears looking at him I widen my eyes . “ it’s not to polite to point out .” chucking a little “ you look cute when you are shy “

The first thing I spoke after listening to him “ are you drunk “  Jackson let out a laugh.  I looked at him for few minute before letting him go . But before I could take a step away I was pulled toward Jackson “ where do you think you are going “  he lean closer and closer my mind turned blank . I didn’t move as he softly pressed his lip on mine my hand reached the nape of his neck .holding him close I return back the kiss. My brain  was foggy , my sense overwhelmed . suddenly the song stopped , realising what I just did I broke the kiss “ excuse me “ I mumbled and walk toward the washroom.

I finally stepped out into crowed . approaching the table I found Jackson sitting their ,”all good “ he spoke nodding with small smile I sat down.  “ lady’s and gentlemen I ‘m honoured to announce the auction is starting so please take your seat and the ladies participating please come on stage . “ the host announce  what the hell is happening here  auction of a women’s . seeing my confused face Jackson lean towards me “ it auction where these all bid on ladies and all the money will go to charity and ladies just have to do a dance with the man who purchased the ladies.” He explain . nodding my head I looked toward the stags.
