124 My Name Is (1/2)

The crowd turned silent as they looked at the young woman walking slowly into the hall. She had soft pink hair, curled and pulled back delicately into a ponytail. Curled locks of hair and short bangs framed her face. She had pink and gold butterfly wings done up with makeup and glitter to act as a mask.

She wore soft pink lipstick and had a natural glow that made hearts melt. She wore a peach and burgundy ball gown, with two toned ruffled shoulder straps that went around her arms. Her chest was completely cover with peach coloured fabric that extended down to the dress. While two burgundy straps crossed over in an x pattern across her chest and it went down her hips. Underneath each strap was a single burgundy butterfly wing that delicately lay over her waist.

The peach coloured fabric flared out underneath the two wings and ruffled into a mini skirt. It was trimmed with a sea of burgundy, lace, butterfly wings that held 3 inches of burgundy, waved, sheer satin that went around the dress. At the back of the dress laid two burgundy wings that acted as train that went around part of the dress. The wings were decorated with gold, pink and peach glitter giving her the image of a butterfly princess ready to take flight. Around her neck was a delicate burgundy, lace butterfly wings that were held in place with a small white opal.

Suddenly the music started playing and a young man in a deep green suit pushed himself through the crowd and walked up to the young woman. He swallowed back some saliva, moving his Adam's apple down then back up. He gave the young woman a deep bow. ”May I have this dance?” He asked shyly, to afraid to raise his head.

The young woman giggled and moved her hand to his face. ”You may.” She replied. The young man immediately straighten up his back and grabbed the delicate hand. He placed a kiss on the back and lead her to the dance floor. Everyone watched as the two moved into position. Laila and Romeo were stunned when the two stepped beside them. Romeo composed himself and pulled Laila in closer, waking her up from her daze.

The couples went right into a Quickstep and the crowd watched as the young man and woman had dominated the dance floor and overshadowed Laila and Romeo. Agni was furious that this couple was stealing the spotlight. ”Change the song now.” She spat at the DJ. ”To what?” He shrugged as he watched the young couple. ”Something still classy but harder to dance too, stupid.” The DJ sighed and checked his playlist.

He cut the song short and the couples looked at one another in confusion. Then trumpets started playing. Laila and Romeo were confused but the young man smiled at his partner. ”Do you trust me?” He asked as he closely looked at his partner. ”Sir we just met, how can you ask that of a lady who you haven't even introduced yourself too?” She said in an appalled tone.

The young man's smile never left his face. ”Trust me.” He said as he dropped his hands. The young woman brought her hand to her chin and started stroking it. ”Only if you can Cha-cha-cha.” The young man laughed as the maracas joined the trumpets and piano. ”If I said I can?” The corners of the young woman's lips twitched as she tried hard not to smile. She walked up to the young man and placed a hand onto his chest and strated to circle him, making sure her hand never left his body.

When she circled back she made her fingers walk up his chest up to his cheek. She gently swept her index finger along his lips. ”Take off the coat.” She said in a low voice. The young man couldn't help but obey as he unbuttoned his deep green coat and tossed it aside. Then the singer's voice could be heard. ”Baby, never have I ever wanted anyone like I want you babe.”

The young man's pupils dilated as he looked at the young lady. He grabbed her hand and pulled her close. Laila and Romeo had looked over and were captivated by the young couple. The young man looked free, passionate and possessive as he danced with his partner.

While the young woman looked stunning as her dress fluttered along with the rhythm of the music. The course of the song started and it seemed to fit the couple perfectly, as if it was made specifically for them. ”Cariño, quédate conmigo, I gotta have your love. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, need to feel your touch. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, never get enough. Cariño, cariño, cariño.” Laila and Romeo backed away from the dance floor and blended into the crowd, giving the couple the entirety of the floor.

Agni was furious and turned to the DJ. ”Stop the f*cking music!” She demanded but the DJ shook his head no. ”Your fired then!” The DJ gave her a side look and laughed. ”Mr. Delmira hired me so he is the only one that can fire me.” He replied as she shifted his gaze back to the couple and watched. Their dance seemed to simmer down when the song was reaching the end. ”Así un poquito más suavecito. Ajá así es que me gusta” The crowd heard and the dancers backed off of one another.

The young man started to circle the young woman, like a lion ready to pounce. ”Cariño, quédate conmigo, I gotta have your love. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, need to feel your touch. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, never get enough. Cariño, cariño, cariño.” He walked up to her and spun her in his arms.

The crowd started to go wild as they watched.”Cariño, quédate conmigo, I gotta have your love. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, need to feel your touch. Cariño, cariño, quédate conmigo, never get enough. Cariño, cariño, cariño.” It was finally the end and he dipped the young woman back and started to lean in for a kiss as his chest moved up and down violently.

The young woman covered his lips with the tips of her fingers and giggled. ”I'm sorry but I don't kiss strangers.” The young man straighten up his back as he gently lifted the young woman back up. The crowd exploded into cheers, whistling and applause. Some reporters ran up to the couple and started shooting questions a mile a minute.

”Miss! Miss! Miss! Please tell us who are you wearing? What made you go to them?”

”Miss! Miss! Miss! How does it feel upstaging Ms. Laila Steel and Mr. Romeo Dokmai? Did you intentionally ruin their couples dance as a sort of revenge tactic?”

”Sir! Sir! Sir! Have you found love at this gala? Can you tell us who you are and what your intentions are with this young Miss?”

”Miss! Miss! Miss! Can you tell our audience what your name is?”
