The man was wearing black all through, which was a weird thing to wear, at least for her. His eyes were also black, but they were shining like the stars on the night sky. His hair was a dark brown. His nose were pointed, and his lips were naturally curved up, which would make you think that he was smiling but he wasn't. His face was just too mesmerizing. Elen found herself staring at him, she wanted to look away but her eyes refused to listen to her. Who would want to look away, when they see this god on earth!
Is he the prince? She thought, his beauty was just out of this world! No human ever possessed this kind of beauty he had. Even Amir, wouldn't even stand a chance with him. He was just to...to.... words can't even describe how he looks.
"Good day princess." He finally said, he must have noticed that she was staring at him, way too much.
He held his hand out, and this time she took it. Though hesitantly. He led her to her seat. No, their seat. Elen expected him to say something, at least ask for her name, but he didn't utter a single word. Though, she knew he must have known her name. Wouldn't it be better if he asked her personally.
He pulled his hands away,when they finally arrived the seat that was reserved for them. He led her to her own seat and he sat beside her.
Elen found herself staring at him again. She never looked at any man for so long even if they were as handsome as a god, except for Amir. Why was she staring at him this much? Was it because he was sinfully handsome? Or because he was going to be her husband? Well, whichever it was, she should stop it now, before he realizes that she's staring again. She shook her head, as if to remove any thoughts in it.
Her mind drifted back to Amir. Where the hell is he? He promised her and now he's nowhere to be found.
She glanced at Ellie, and there he was, beside her. Elen could guess that he was teasing her. She couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, Ellie was going to be alone with Amir and his mischiefs.
After a while of receiving greetings from the guests, the music started playing, and just as she had expected. He was standing before her again with his hands held out.
"Can I have this dance?" He asked.
There it goes again. Elen was staring into his eyes very deeply. There was something strange about his eyes. They was a different feel to it. It's as though, if you stared into them, you'll be hypnotized. And she thinks that, that it exactly what is happening to her. But before she could completely succumb to her dazed state. She took his hands and his large but warm palms caressed her's.
They were a few other couples on the dance floor, which made Elen's nervousness to subside a little.
He easily slid his hands around her waist, and made her place her hands on his palm and the other on his shoulder.
He danced so elegantly, if Elen had not been a good dancer she wouldn't have been able to keep up with him.
"You look beautiful, princess." He finally said. Elen had noticed that he had also been staring at her for a while now, but she didn't pay much attention to it. Why would he stare at her? She thought.
"Thank you." She said, smiling with a blush.
"My pleasure."
"I'm sure you prepared for the parting ceremony." He said.
Yes! How could she forget that, she prepared for it and had decided that she would dance to the tune of one of her favourite songs.
She nodded and he gave her a short smile. His smile was also beautiful! He was just too perfect in terms of looks.
The music ended and he led her to her seat, with her hands placed on his.
They sat there idly for a while, until it was time for the parting ceremony. The time where she gives her parents a parting performance and then she leaves with her husband.
She went to the stage and showed off her dance moves. The prince was impressed, and a smile curved on his lips. Of course, Elen saw it, and she didn't know when she also smiled.
The parting ceremony was over and both husband and wife went to seek her parents blessings.
Elen hugged her mother, father, and Ellie. It was Amir's turn and she hugged him also. He gave her a gift when she pulled away.
"I want you to open it when you arrive." He told her and gave her one last hug.
"Thank you, Amir." She said and he winked at her causing her to shake her head in disbelief.
The prince who had been waiting for her at the other side finally came out, after they've all said their parting wishes.
He stretched his hands forward and this time around, Elen wasn't hesitant to take it. He led her to the carriage waiting outside for them.
They both got into the carriage, the atmosphere was silent and tense, until he finally spoke.
