Her Majesty Annabelle

Chapter 6 :: The Ball Part 2

*ANNABELLE POV*

We are getting ready for the Ball! We decide we will both do that in my room. Stephanie took a shower in her room and came to mine with both of our garment bags, shoes, jewelry, and her make up.

I don’t wear make up so she will be doing mine. I sit at the vanity in my room. Back towards the mirror and she gets to work. I know nothing about make up so I let her do her thing. As she is doing my make up we are talking about anything and everything.

20 mins later she is done. “Turn around. Look in the mirror.”

I swivel the chair around and what I see nearly knocks me out the chair. “Whoa I can’t believe this is me.”

I turn my head side to side looking at the amazing job she has done. She gave me a Smokey eye which makes my lavender eyes POP!!! A little blush on my cheeks accenting my freckles. Eyebrows arched and filled in for THE GODS!!!! My lips look nice and plump with a red lipstick.

She does her make up and she is looking GORGEOUS!!!

“Yassssssss!!!!!!” I express as I snap my fingers three times.

It is time to put on our dresses, shoes, and jewelry. I unzip the garment bag on the bed that Stephanie told me was mine.

“Gasp” it’s a silver glittery dress with a sweetheart neckline. I pull the dress out of the bag and start to put it on.

“Can you zip me?”

When she is done I look in the mirror.

“Okay at this point I’m going to faint.”

I don’t even recognize who this is looking back at me. You all know the story of Cinderella right? Well I feel like her. I never get this cute let alone dress girly.

The dress fits perfectly. It has a split on the right hand side and if I stick my leg out it opens up til the top of my thigh.

I turn around and see Stephanie! *FAKES FAINT*

“Squeals!!!!! You are GORGEOUS!!!!”

She has on a red glittery dress same as mine!!! It makes her skin PERFECTLY!!!!!

We put on on shoes. Some black pumps. Mine are open toe. I painted my nails white when I got out the shower. Her black pumps are closed toe with a strap around the ankle.

We walk out of our room and head in the direction to the hall the Ball will be held in. Before we walk in we put our masks on. Since it is Masquerade themed Stephanie bought us the most beautiful masks.

The masks covered the top half of our face. It is all black with perfectly placed diamonds. Stephanie has the same exact one.

We step into the room and I smell the most INTOXICATING SMELL! Smells like chocolate chip cookies and caramel. MY FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!

“Do you smell that?”

“Smell what?”

“ That most amazing smell. It smells like chocolate chip cookies and caramel.”

“No I don’t smell that. The amazing smell I smell smells like apple pie and cinnamon.”

She starts looking around.

I look around searching for the owner of smell as well. No one attracts me. I look at Stephanie and she shrugs her shoulders. I guess she didn’t find the source of her smell either.

We shrug it off and move to the refreshment table. The DJ is playing soft music while everyone is standing around in groups talking and laughing. There is over 500 people, unmated people, here.

Suddenly the music dies down. Someone walks onto the stage and stands in front of the mic. I look at Stephanie and she tenses up as she is staring mesmerized at the figure on the stage. I look back at the stage and he is also staring in a trance at Stephanie.

He is gorgeous in the way a man can be. Chiseled jawline. Long chocolate colored hair. Hazel eyes. And he has on a suit that absolutely compliments him.
