Today was the day of the ball, and I was freaking out. Firstly: Holly probably won't believe me if I tell her I rented this because my fashion sense is crap and second: in this dress, everyone's eyes will be on me and I won't be able to bear that.

I was ready, the time was 6:30pm. I did some make up, but mostly I kept it natural with my hair flowing in waves down my shoulders.

This dress was absolutely beautiful and someday when I earn enough, I'll return the money to Luke.

My mother was out again, drinking, like she always does and not caring about her own daughter.

I heard a car honk outside, probably the Hemmings were here.

I rushed outside and locked the door behind me. I passes my small garden which had dead flowers currently because I don't have time to pour water into them.

But I almost stopped in my tracks when I saw Luke sitting on the driver seat in a cherry red two sweater convertible.

I bit my lip. I wanted to take a photo of this, the sexiest man alive in the sexiest car ever.

I walked with a huge grin. And Luke chuckled when he saw me.

I opened the door and sat inside the car.

"You look lovely. Like I said, you'll be the best looking out there, but better stay away from the boys." He teased.

I blushed, and he started the ignition, starting the car.

He looked dapper himself. The dark navy blue tux and shirt which had a few buttons unbuttoned. I could little bit of his chest hair. He looked like the perfect husband material and guess what, he matched with me. I couldn't get happier. Maybe this was fate!

"Where are Holly and Gillian?" I asked the thought of those two finally crossing my mind.

"They're going in a separate car." He said but didn't comment on it Further. I could feel the tension in his voice.

"If you don't mind me asking, why?" I tried to pry.

"Gill and I had a fight about something. So she was pissed and decided to go in a separate car." He said.

I didn't press further because I didnt want to kill the mood we had.

I subtly try to steal glances at Luke while he drove. I loved how he never gelled his hair and just let them loose. I showed his carefree personality. It did make him look 10 years younger than he actually is. If I had a boyfriend like Luke I'd literally never let him go out! So many girls would be after him....

But that's the thing: he isn't my boyfriend.

The drive was smooth he drove the car so perfectly. I knew how to drive, I learnt it from Holly but I didn't have a car of my own so I lost practise.

As we drove for about 10 minutes, I saw some security check going on with the traffic barriers.

"What's happening?" I inquired.

"I don't know." Luke replied, his eye brows crossing as he tried to think.

We reached our turn and the man looked at Luke and I before asking Luke for his license, he showed him his license and the officer smiled.

"Excuse me Officer, but what is this checking for?" Luke asked.

"Some gangster escaped and passed through the city, so we were just checking up the cars. Anyhow, Mr. and Mrs. Hemmings, you're good to go. Take care." He smiled.

My blood ran cold.

He called me Luke's wife shit shit shit it'll get awkward now. Everything was going great but there was the mood kill.

I blinked my eyes and tried to look outside at the scenery. I couldn't face him. If I did, I'd probably die.

Luke drove past the barriers but didn't say a word either.

It was about a few minutes later when he finally cleared his throat.

"I'm sorry about that. The guy is just stupid." Luke let out a nervous chuckle.

"Y-Yeah" I stuttered and blushed. So freaking awkward.

"How much time more?" I questioned and Luke smiled.

"Can't bear me anymore?"

Of course not luke. I'd love to spend a thousand lives with you.

"N-No I just wanted to know.."

"Yeah I'm kidding. We'll be there in 5. It's like a country club and stuff. My friend, Robert is hosting a party for a rent land he bought. We also have to discuss about doing some construction on it and stuff." He said.

"Alright."

"Don't drink anything okay? I don't want you getting drunk, or even Holly getting drunk. You both are super precious so don't do anything stupid."

He said with a serious face.

Am I just precious to you like a daughter Luke?

"Of course not." I chuckled.

~~~~~

As we reached, the valet took the car to park it and Luke and I walked together towards the ball room where it was being held.

A man in a black chic stood outside holding a list I presume of names of guests.

"Luke Hemmings." He said.

The man nodded before he looked up in the list.

"Yes, Mr and Mrs. Hemmings, please welcome." He said.

Not again.

I choked again but Luke laughed at me.

"Twice Miley. Wow, that means you look really old. Uh oh, that's so sad." Luke joked.

I liked how he didn't get awkward.

The photographer stood right the entrance with a black curtain at the back.

"Ma'am Sir! A picture please!"

I almost began saying no, I'm not his wife, but Luke held me by my arm and pulled me towards himself. He linked or arms together and faced the camera.

I followed his actions and smiled, and the shutter of the camera followed.

"Thank you! You can collect the picture after the party!"

Neither of us said anything. He must really regret not coming in with his wife. I wonder what Gill and Holly would think if they found out about this.

As we further went inside another man stood in a suit.

"First dance for the beautiful couple," he smirked.

"Actually we're n-"

Luke stopped me again and guided me towards the small dance floor.

"In these parties it's mandatory to dance with the person you enter. So let's just keep it that way." He said.

"I don't know how to dance," I bit back a smile.

"Just go with the flow. It'll come to you." He said taking my hand and dragging on the floor.

As we made our way to the dance floor, I noticed a few other couples there. I tried to spot Holly and Gillian but they weren't probably here yet. Oof. That's a good thing.

I saw most women turn their heads and look at me and my dress. Wow, I was really turning heads today. And men Weren't less, they observed my cleavage and ass.

Luke put his arm sound my waist, and I put my hands around his neck and locked them.

'For you' Rita Ora ft Liam Payne started playing and we started saying a bit to the music.

"I swear all the men are looking at you so badly. Maybe this dress was a bad idea." Luke said with a tight face. He was almost glaring back at every guy. I almost laughed at how over protective he was being.

"It's okay Luke. I don't mind the attention." I Said with a smirk.

"Of course you don't, you're a princess. But don't forget, you're my princess only. Don't let anyone else call you that." He spoke dead serious.

He looked into my eyes, and smiled, like he always does, but this time his smile was kind of different.

Sweet, lovely

"You don't dance that bad Miles." He said.

I was surprised as to how I didn't trip over him or something, this was my first time ball dancing. Maybe we just fit right?

"Been waiting for a life time for ya." Luke mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, just the lyrics. I like this song." He shook his head.

Suddenly he twirled me around and brought me back to himself as he pulled me closer, our chests were touching.

We were so close. Just one kiss Luke, please. I need it. I need it badly. I'm in love with you, and you don't even know.

I felt a strong hand on my shoulder, and it wasn't luke.

The hand pushed me backwards and I stumbled over my dress, falling down on my butt.

I could hear the people around us suddenly move away and chit chating.

"Ow!" I yelled instantly feeling the pain sensation on my butt.

Gillian was standing there, a smile plastered on her face.

She was wearing a gown, it was good, but not better than mine.

He chose the best for me.

"I'm sorry Miley. I just wanted to dance with Luke, you're so weak darling, gain some strength." She laughed and for the first time I realised she was lying.

She was jealous of me and Luke. I shouldn't be feeling happy but I did have a proud feeling. I was able to make her worried about her man.

"Are you okay?" Luke asked me, looking worried.

He extended his hand and I held it, getting up.

"Yeah better. I'll leave now, where's Holly?" I asked Gillian.

"At thebuffet table." She said in a sickly sweet voice.

I nodded before passing a light smile to Luke and limping away. I could see him giving me a longing look. We were just getting the mood of dancing. I was just getting closer to him.

Somehow, the pain I got was a lot and my butt was hurting real bad. It was a normal fall, then why did it hurt so much? Maybe I fell on my hip bone or something.

I walked towards the buffet table, spotting Holly there.

She looked at me her mouth wide open.

"Holy shit that's you Miley?! I thought it was some s.lut dancing with dad. You look so gorgeous OMG!" She gushed.

Wow. Thanks Holly. Glad to know you thought I was a sl.ut clinging to your dad.

"Thanks BFF." I grinned.

"Your dressing sense has improved i am so happy. How did you even manage to rent such a beautiful dress." She gushed

"Thank the lords I guess," I said

I turned around to look at the dance floor but all I saw was Luke with his hands up in the air and Gillian standing there with a hard face.

They were fighting.

And it was probably about me.
