For the longest
moment she could only stare into those blue eyes as she travelled down memory
lane. The last time Dominic had kissed her hand, was when they had went to
their school’s farewell party four years ago, it had been a prom of sorts. She hadn’t
wanted to go in the first place, but as usual Gabriel pushed her up to the
entrance while he went in ahead of her. She turned back, hopefully before Gabe
realised she was gone, only to run into Dominic. The top of her head only
reached his chin and he was smiling down at her while his arms were on her
waist to keep her from falling.
"I hope you’re not going to leave me without a date.
Gabriel said that you would most probably run away from the party so he said
you could be my date and I should probably be able to keep an eye on you." It
was the first time she had seen his face this close and she was held captive by
those hypnotic eyes coupled with his platinum blond hair. Once her brain
processed what he had just said, she stepped out from his arms and had the sudden
madurge to strangle her twin and also hang him upside down from the rafters.
"Gabriel didn’t mention anything about being your
date, so I guess you can’t actually make that claim can you?" she began to move
past him when his hands suddenly seized her wrist.
"I didn’t mean to offend you Arianna. I was just
joking. But I do hope that you would be my date." he said almost pleadingly.
"Funny, I didn’t hear you asking me to be your date." she answered icily, still trying to move past him and at the same time wrench
her arm back from him but she was defeated by his firm but gentle grip on her
wrist.
His blue eyes glittered in the dim light of the
hallway just as he raised her hand and placed a kiss on it, "Well then, will
you be my date tonight Miss Acrux? I promise to be on my best behaviour." he
said with a gentle smile on his face.
She ended up
going to the party with him and earned glares from other girls who were green
with envy. She could hear the crowd whispering as they passed by them, "Of all the girls in the academy why did he
come with her?", "Maybe she couldn’t get a date so Gabriel asked him for a
favour", "I heard he lost a bet with his friends and so he had to be her date" but she pretended not to hear them. The poisonous whispers meant nothing
to her.
Evidently, she
wasn’t the only one who could hear them, because he then whispered in her ear, "Don’t mind them, they’re just jealous
because I have the most beautiful girl as my date and the girls are envious of
our close relationship." The rest of the evening went by better than she
had expected. At least she didn’t feel like jumping out the window to get away
from the crowd, not that she could with Dom’s eyes following her throughout the
room.
