123 B*bb*ddi-Bobb*dd*-B*o! (2/2)
Edmond leaned onto his hip, extended one of his legs sideways and raised his hand to his chin as he slightly turned his head to the side. ”Princess I always look good! But I gotta say such a muted colour is something I would never personally chose but I do make the outfit.” Olivia looked him over again. He was wearing a light grey suit. He wore a navy blue tie and white dress shirt but something was off with the back. Olivia circled round and started to laugh. ”Loreley what is this?!”
Loreley gave her a sly smile and pulled out a fob from her clutch. ”It's to match his mask of course.” Olivia looked at Edmond and he pulled up a mask from the couch. Her eyes grew wide and she grabbed her sides as she started to laugh. Edmond shrugged. ”The magical fairy princess has a good sense of humour.”

Agni was happily mingling with her guests. She wore a velvet, blood red gown that reached the floor. It dipped down into a sweetheart cut along her collar bone. She wore an open, black coat with white, rabbit fur lining over her dress and two golden chains acting as a belt for the coat. On her neck was a gaudy, 3 panel piece gold necklace. The middle panel had a giant jade stone in the middle and extended down to her cleavage while the two outer panels were only a couple of inches smaller.
She had left her golden hair down, she wore bright red lipstick, giant jade earrings and had an elaborate face mask painted on half her face. Many men stared at her salivating for a bite, many women envied her for her figure and youthful appearance. Agni glowed with pride and confidence.
She looked at the time, it was half past 7 and she smirked to herself. She made her way to the stage and signalled for the DJ to stop the mood music. She grabbed a microphone and looked at her audience. ”Ladies, gentlemen and honoured guests.” She began to say watching as every head turned to her and gave their undivided attention. ”We have gathered her tonight to celebrate the union of two love birds.” She paused to compose herself from her joy and sorrow.
”Excuse me... I apologize... with my husband gone and not being here to see this.... sob... I'm sorry, I'm good now... sniff... We are gather to recognize the promise of marriage for two long time lovers who have prevailed over hardship and slander.” She said and the lights went out. The crowd started to panic. A spotlight turned on and in the middle of the dance floor, stood a delicate looking flower.
She wore white, long gloves that sparkled under the light. A dark pink gown the hugged her body just perfectly, sheer pink ruffles sat on her hips. Her back was bare but her chest was covered and the front reached up to her slender neck. A slit ran up the dress and stopped provocatively on her thigh and revealed her fair leg. Her golden hair was semi curled and pulled to the side, two white andpink ostrich feathers were clipped on the left side of her head while a white and gold opera mask covered only a quarter of her face.
”Thank you for the introduction mother I will take it from here.” She said sweetly as she spoke out. Agni started to crush the microphone in her hand as she looked at her daughter.”Ladies and gentlemen, I am honoured to welcome you to my engagement gala!” Laila announced happily. Agni dropped her microphone and started to internally laugh. 'They must have gotten the message.' she thought as she relaxed her body.
Another spotlight was turned on and at another entrance. A young man wearing a white tuxedo, matching pink dress shirt and navy blue tie appeared through the doorway. The guests murmured in excitement. Agni had gone around and hinted that the young man behind the white mask was none other then Eli Delmira. They all held their breaths as they watched the young man walk towards Laila.
He placed his hand around her waist and pulled her close. He placed a sensual kiss on her lips that made her go limp in his arms. The crowd broke out into applause making Agni's pride swell.The lights were turned on and Agni picked up the broken microphone. She looked a little disappointed but didn't dwell on it too much. She needed to savor the moment. After the applause died down Laila straighten herself up and removed her mask. ”I, Laila Steel would like to present my beloved fiancé.”
She turned to look at the young man, who seemed to be her height, even though she wore low heels. He brought his hand up to his mask and slowly lifted it upwards. People gasped as they watched him pull the mask and black wig off. Standing before them was a young man, with tanned skin, chocolate brown eyes and matching, fluffy hair. ”Romero Dokmai.” She said after he gave everyone a cheeky grin. Some of the crowd started murmuring as others gasped at the news.
”Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate our intentions of union and hope to see you all at our wedding, in three years time of course. I must extended my sincerest thanks to Eli Delmira who helped organize this event with Mrs. Steel.” Romeo's words gave Agni an out and the crowd started to nod their heads. Agni started to break out into a cold sweat. Reporters were filming the occasion live, prominent people were loving the idea of the two getting engaged. She looked across the room and a group of people stared at her. A man in a deep green suit who wore a black and gold mask, raised his glass to toast her. She felt rage!
Her rage was quieted when she heard the crowd break out into applause again as other shouted their congratulations. Laila wrapped an arm around Romeo's waist and snuggled into his embrace. ”Now that's over I welcome you all to the dance floor.” Laila said cheerfully.
The DJ tried to start up the music but found that nothing was working. He looked at Agni with a panicked face and she stomped over to his booth. ”What now!” She hissed but the DJ shrugged. ”I can't get the music to start.” He said lazily. Agni was ready to rip his throat out when suddenly a light laugh was heard throughout the the room.
”Salagad**la mech*cka b**la, b*bb*di-b*bbidi-b*o! Put them together and what have you got? B*bb*di-b*bbidi-b*o!” Sang a couple that happily danced in circles in front of the main doors. A girl with golden locks of hair, wore a light blue corset styled dress with a giant Pink bow tied around her neck. Delicate lace covered her arms and flared at her wrists, while the bottom half of her dress had pieces of light blue, satin resembling flower petals act as a mini skirt. She had done a makeup mask that looked like blue and silver vines intertwining with each other across her face and her bright smile infected everyone.
While her partner wore a light grey suit with a long pink tail and a cute, grey mask with mouse ears. They broke away from each other and started waving their hands as they pranced around, trying to get the crowd to sing with them. ”Salagad**la mech*cka b**la, b*bbidi-b*bbidi-b*o.” They kept singing and soon enough the crowd joined in as they clapped.
”It'll do magic, believe it or not B*bbidi-b*bbidi-b*o. Yes, salagad**la means mech*cka bo*ler*o but the thingamab*b that does the job is b*bbidi-b*bbidi,” The couple ran to the front doors and each grabbed a handle. ”B*bbidi-b*bbidi,” The crowd kept singing as the couple looked at one another and nodded. ”B*bbidi-b*bbidi B*O!” The crowd shouted the last bit and exploded with delight. The couple pulled the doors wide open and a young woman walked in.
