I could feel two emotions right now one, the anger inside me and the other emotion which I didn't quite understood as Veronica smirked evilly at me. While dancing so closely with Vaughn.

I turned towards Alex and agreed to dance with him.

He extended his hand towards me. Which I happily accepted and with that we went on the dance floor.

We slowly danced with the soft music playing in the background. While my gaze was constantly looking in Vaughn's direction. If looks could kill , Veronica would be dead by now.

"So tell me something about you, Aveliene?" Alex said and I looked away from Veronica to him.

"There is nothing much to tell. Actually I have completed my highshool and I wanted to complete my graduation in architectural engineering as I loved it." I said while remembering my passion for architecture.

"I see, than I think we are going to be really good friends because my company also works in that field. And we have completed many big projects." He said while giving his charming smile.

"Really. Finally I found someone who has the same taste as me. Cause unlike you ,my other friends didn't have interest in it." I spoke in a little excited tone.

"You are really a good company, Alex." I spoke again with a smile.

"I gladly accept your compliment, Miss Lawrence." He said while bowing in a dramatic way.

To which I laughed. I really enjoyed his company. He was really a friendly and cheerful person unlike his best friend and my fiance, who was very mysterious and sophisticated. Maybe especially infront of me. As I remember Vaughn smiling and dancing with Veronica.

We danced and chatted together. Alex then gently twirl me and I landed on a hard masculine chest. Familiar cologne hit my nostrils. Which was making me addictive to it.

I slowly looked up and found those hypnotizing oceanic eyes staring at me with so much intensity. I tried to look away but his eyes didn't let me.

Vaughn rested his arm on my waist and extended the other arm for me to hold, which I slowly did.

And I put my other arm on his shoulder and we began dancing slowly with the music.

Different sensations pass through my body at our close proximity. He was taller than me. Just like Alex. My head stopped at his chin.

I was staring at those fascinating oceanic orbs while trying to read his emotions but found nothing.

He was like a mysterious and intriguing riddle which I was eager to solve.

He gently spin me and now my back was touching his chest.

"You are looking breathtaking", Vaughn said in his deep husky voice near my ear. It caused a chill pass down my spine.

"Thanks" I spoke trying to sound calm as my body wasn't letting me. I cant see his expression but it's okay cause I am sure that my cheeks are pink now, but I don't want him to know what effect he's having on me.

All my anger against Veronica faded at listening his soothing voice.

I closed my eyes and captured every moment. Maybe mom was right and he is truly my Prince Charming. But why my instincts say different.

After the dance I went back to my friends who were leaving as the party came to an end.

"Hey, Ave we truly enjoyed the party. Now I am looking forward for the grand wedding." Cassie spoke the last sentence in a little teasing way. To which I rolled my eyes. She then went towards the exit with Aaron.

"Thanks Ave, we will see you soon" Emma said and then she intertwined her arm with Liam and they both followed suit.

Now it was only Stacey left who was looking enthralled. I stand next to her and spoke-

"So have you found someone?" I asked to which she blush and I already got my answer.

"Tell me who is this lucky guy which made you blush even without mentioning his name" I teased her.

"I am not blushing, Ave!!" She exclaimed and defended.

Now her cheeks become red as a tomato. To which I laughed.

"Okay-okay you are not, now tell me about him" I gave emphasis on him.

"Gosh!! Ave he is so handsome and charming. I thought I could never like someone after you know what happened between Jason and me." She said hesitantly and I nodded in understanding.

"But this guy I met him while dancing. And instantly I felt that attraction. We danced silently and I felt happy and secured as all the memories of my heartbreak vanished. It was truly beautiful, Ave." She said with dreamy eyes. I was glad to see her happy again after her break up with Jason. She lost her trust in guys but now I could see that again in her eyes.

"I am happy for you Stay. You truly deserve the happiness. Dont let your past with Jason ruin your future and love life" I said softly. To which she smiled and hugged me.

"Now tell me the name of this guy?" I asked her . Suddenly she pulled back and looked frustrated.

"I am so silly, I was so mesmerized by his charms that I forgot to ask his name." She said with frustrated expression.

"Don't worry Stay, if fate has chosen that guy for you than you will definitely see him again maybe on the wedding day."

She than lit up again and smiled.

"You are right Ave ,I should not loose hope. By the way, thanks for the party I will see you soon"She said and I smiled and then bid her goodbye.

I then went back to my parents who were busy conversing with Vaughn's parents while Vaughn was standing beside them listening to their conversation.

"So we will meet again to decide the wedding date later. Now we will take your leave." Mr. Rodriguez said to my parents.

"We will see you soon, darling" Mrs. Rodriguez said in a warming tone.I nodded and smiled. She was really a sweet lady. Unlike Vaughn who didn't even bid farewell to me. I don't understand his mood swings.

Then they sat inside the black colored limousine and sped off.

We then went to our car and sat inside. The driveway to home went on with mom and dad discussing about wedding. While I stared outside the window looking at the empty streets with only lamp posts giving light in the dark. As it was mid night now.
