Our friend Luke came over with his big make up Kit .

" Hey girlies ready to look sexy tonight ?" Luke giggled setting his big make up kit on the coffee table .

Luke was Olivia's second cousin , he was like a best friend to me even though he's in England modeling I still talked through the phone with him about advice .

" Yes we indeed are " Olivia says .

It was and the ice ball starts at so we got extra early because the make up and hair and clothes and everything .

I have to be home by because I have a early flight at one midnight , I'm going to Atlanta Georgia to interview Reece Franklin the famous drag racer and I have to go with one of my co-workers while I interview and write down the responses to his answer and my co-worker will record it .

My hair was already done in curly waves my hair part down in the middle .

Olivia's short dark brown hair was curled to perfection and she added layers to make her hair longer .

Luke started on my make up first giving me a smoky eye color making my light green blue eyes pop .

Olivia was more of a soft light natural look.

My mask was a dark blue and black mask which I picked out at this local jewelry shop .

Olivia still didn't want to show me my dress which I was annoyed at .

" Are you sure you can't come ?" I beg as Luke packs up his stuff .

" I'm sorry babes , but I have a flight tonight and I'm headed to Brazil for this fashion show and hopefully I score a hot guy " Luke giggles flipping his light blonde hair with pink strips behind his ear .

" Alright Lukey come visit anytime " Olivia hugs him and I do the same bidding him goodbye .

Once he left it was and we had an hour to get ready .

Me and Olivia went in her room to her ready , Olivia put on her dress and I smiled widely as she twirled .

" Can I see my dress now ? " I whine and she grins going to her closet taking out the dress .

She unzipped showing me the dress and I gape .

No words could explain how beautiful this dress looked amazing the detail. It was a backless lacy detail it showed a good amount of skin as I tried it on .

The dress brought out my eyes and skin and I couldn't help but gape at myself .

" Wow . . Lydia wow you look hot !" Olivia squeals .

" I really do look hot " I smile at my self .

" Ready to hook up with hot guys tonight ?" She wiggles her eyebrows and I rolled my eyes .

But then I noticed something " Live didn't we have to wear —"

" No time for talking more walking " she cut me off .

I took a shaky breath as I scanned the ice ball .

It was all white from top to bottom the chandeliers giving a dim glow and a dj at the back and a run way .

A lot of people were in white hanging around the room and I glanced down at my dress seeing I'm the only one in here wearing a different color dress .

I adjusted my mask and looked at Olivia " Liv , how come I'm the only on wearing something different ?" I ask and she smiles sheepishly .

" Sorry " she says and I rolled my eyes .

Everyone starred at me as the and my breath catched in my throat as everyone whispered .

" Does this feels like the Cinderella moment ?" Olivia whispers in my ears as I swallowed .

I walk slowly down the stairs the people following my every movement .

" Hi everybody !" Maryann's says , she was wearing a beautiful long sleeve silky gown that looked like it costed more than my apartment , her hair was in a curly up do and her make up done in a natural look as Happy smile took over her face her husband next to her wearing a white tux .

" Thank you for coming to my ice ball , it means a lot to me that you all came , hopefully you guys enjoy this ice ball the show will start at nine thirty . " .

" Enjoy everyone !" She chirps and everyone claps .

" I'm gonna find a guy " Olivia winks and I reach to grab her to stay with me but she's already gone .

I scanned the room feeling awkward that I had to stand around doing nothing .

I decided to head up to the balcony which I discovered was in the back .

I go up the stairs ignoring everyone's looks and head down the long hall to the balcony .

This place was huge .

I opened the gold double doors and walk out the chilly weather of September nipping at my skin as I lean on the balcony starring up at the sky .

" Beautiful night isn't it ? " I jumped and turned seeing a man who looks in his early twenties starring up at the sky .

Even with his mask on I could tell he was gorgeous with a sharp jaw and high cheeks bones made him more handsome , his eyes were a prettiest color a pale light blue like the ocean and green and light grey flecks around his orbs .

Pale blue eyes

Green and silver specks

Holy . . This is Seth Madden .

" Yeah . . It is " I muttered looking dumbstruck as I look at him .

He leaned on the railing looking up at the sky his Adam's apple prominent and his jaw like more sharp .

" what are you doing up here ?" He questioned me and I blushed as he catch me staring at him .

" I should be asking you the same thing " I ask and he chuckled lowly a beautiful sound .

" Well let's just say I'm not a people person " he says his face blank .

" So you don't like talking to anybody ?" I ask .

" Nah " he says .

" I must be lucky then " I laugh quietly .

" Consider yourself lucky then . So what's a beautiful woman like you being here all . alone " he questions .

" I don't know , I kinda felt weird that I'm the only person that came with a different color outfit " I say pursing my lips and I blushed as he lazily scanned my dress .

" I think you look beautiful " he says and I giggle .

" Thank you , you don't look bad yourself Madden " he cringed and I laugh .

" How do you know it's me ? " he says surprised .

I stuttered and blushed and he chuckles .

" It's okay . I hate that name "

" What Madden ? " I say surprised .

" I don't know it's just . . I know I don't really know you but . . My dad has been hard on me with his company's and it becomes stressful you know ? , I'm his last option and I couldn't deny the offer " I nod and he continues .

" My older brother Milo denied my dad's offer because he had a passion for singing and second oldest brother Ryan is pursing his acting career and taking care of his son peter and his wife "

He licked his full pink lips as he starred up at the sky

" I was his last chance and I kinda felt bad for him because he was really desperate so I accepted . I'm only 23 for gods sake , I have a lot of things I wanted to do but I can't . . I have to work , work work , meetings , meetings , meetings . It's nonstop ? Sometimes I just want to leave and don't look back you know ? " he looks at me and I nod .

" I understand , your young and want to do fun things like , partying , going to the club having one night stands " he chuckled and I smile my heart fluttering .

" What's your name ?" He ask and a flash started and almost blinded me .

" My name is —"

My phone blares and I look down at my alarm clock seeing it's midnight .

" I have to go " I rushed leaving .

" Wait just give me your name " he says desperately .

I stare down at my bracelet that's suddenly loose on my wrist .

" Lydia " I smile and he gives me a breath taking smile as I rush to leave .

This defiantly felt like a princess moment except I'm not loosing a slipper .
