Stephen: Don't worry I'll be by your side whole night

*Which made me feel calm he put his arm on my waist and we approached the gate. As we entered the whole ballroom was filled with people. But there was something off with some of the girls they were looking at me hatefully* Melanie: Do I have something on my face? Stephen: No. Why?

Melanie: Because most of these girls are looking at me with disgust. Did I do something wrong? Stephen: No you didn't They're just jealous of your beauty because you are literally the most beautiful women on this whole earth.
