Esther's POV
"What the hell jace why didn't you tell me that we were going to a masked ball". I shoot him a death glare.
"It's not a masked ball so chill and if I told you that we were going to a party for work you would not have come". I rolled my eyes at him.
"Let me ask you this will there be slow dancing." I put my hand on my hips and looked at him.
"Umm yeah of course."
"Ok then it's a masked ball."
"Oh my god it's not a stupid ball my boss wanted to keep a party but he wanted everybody to wear masks nobody will be wearing big puffy gowns".
"Oh ok whatever" I said .
He took my hand and led me into the hotel. We went into a hall people were wearing masks and were talking to each other I didn't know anyone here .
Jace led me to two people who were not wearing face masks . "Esther meet Ally and Alex"
Jace introduces me to his co-workers. Ally is short with brown eyes and has brown hair with red streaks In it she seems nice.
On the other hand Alex is tall he also has brown eyes and brown hair he looks fit .
That is when I remember jace has a small crush on him so I decided to talk with ally and leave jace and Alex alone.
"Umm ally you want to go grab some drinks."
"Yeah sure why not".
"So ally do you have a boyfriend" she blushed and handed me some champagne.
"No".
"But I actually like this guy from work but I kinda think that he has a girlfriend so I might back off of him"
She took a sip of her champagne. She looked at me
"So who is the lucky guy" she asked me
"Oh there is nobody and if there was I would not have called him lucky" I chuckled.
We had a long chat she was actually quite nice and funny we exchanged our phone number then a guy came up and asked her for a dance she didn't want to leave me all by myself but I told to go and dance.
It was a little crowded in here so I walked out to the balcony. And I admired the atmosphere it was a beautiful night very calm.
I heard someone clear their throat beside me I was snapped out of my thoughts.
A man walked up to me he was wearing a black suit and a black mask covering some of his facial features but he had a sharp jawline. I don't think he noticed that I was admiring him .
"What is a beautiful girl like you doing out here all by yourself ?"
He had a British accent and his voice sounded husky I could have sworn that I heard his voice somewhere before but I can't quite put my finger on it.
"Umm inside was a little too crowded so I decided to come out here for some fresh air".
I heard that the song that was playing inside changed to a slow one .
He stretched his arm "may I have this dance with you" I didn't want to be rude but my mind told me that I should say no to him because I don't even know him.
I don't even know him but another part of me told me that I should .like come on it's one dance what harm can that do.
"Yeah sure why not" I put my hand in his. I expected him to lead me inside but instead led me to the middle of the balcony .
I put my arm on his shoulder he gently pulled me in and placed him hand on my waist I felt a bolt of electrical waves go through my body with that one touch.
We started to sway to the music I don't know why but I felt safe and comfortable in this strangers arm.
I looked into his beautiful hazel eyes they look so familiar like I seen them somewhere before.
But I decided to put all thought away and just enjoy the moment.
Then jace came in and called me I was snapped out of my daze .
The man let go of me I saw a glint of annoyance in his eyes but he quickly hid it.
Jace came up to us "sorry to have to break up this dance but we have to go angel we have work tomorrow."
I said good bye and was about to leave when I turned back "umm sir I didn't get your name"
He looked at me "you can call me Elijah."
"oh I'm Esther it was nice meeting you"
And with that I left.
When I got home I took a shower and went to bed .
A quick thought came to my mind what if he and Elijah are the same person.I quickly brushed it off.
There are probably a lot of people name Elijah and by the way jace was playing a trick on me.
Maybe this guys name is actually Elijah do you know what I think I should confront Jace and tell him that I know about the prank that he is trying to play on me.And with that thought I drifted to sleep.
(a/n)
So umm hi it's me again I was thinking about writing Elijah's POV
In the next chapter tell me what do you think.
