Evangelina
╚══════════════╝


█▌Evangelina turned her attention to Brandon who had stood near her when she got out of her father's grip. She offered him an apologetic look, her eyes misty trying to hold in her frustration. “Mr. Townes, if Evangelina doesn’t want to leave with you, you have no right to force her. She’s a legal adult who can do as she pleases.” Her eyes widened when she heard the male say that. He was standing up for her, especially to her father of all people. She felt herself wanting to smile at him, only to hear her father's voice and the urge to pass. "And who are you to speak up on this matter? Or for her? I have every right to decide things for her seeing as I'm her father. If she's an adult she should act like one and start prioritizing." When the blonde heard that she looked at him with a harsh glare/ "Father? HA. That's rich, since when? If you're a father MAYBE you should start acting like one and start prioritizing." she fired back with a mocking tone. "But um...oh yeah the only thing you know is how to speak business and sign off contracts. Hope you’re an expert at people skills cause your parenting skills aren't doing so hot."

Evangelina grabbed a hold of Brandon's arm and held it close to her. "Now, I didn't come back to California for you. I came for other reasons. I'm going to stay at Lucy's for tonight and so forth. Only in two days’ time will I come back to your house to discuss birthday plans with Mom. You don't want me to stay here with Brandon? Fine. But I'm not going home with you. And I don't care about YOUR protests, like Brandon said I'm an adult, I have been for a while. I can balance work, myself, and personal life just fine." She proceeded to pull Brandon with her, as she turned and began to walk away. She paused for a moment and turned her head to the side. "Good night Father." she said quietly before walking out of the area with Brandon. Evangelina made her way through the party to one of the secret exits. The blonde quickly slipped through the exit door and let out a giant sigh. She let go of Brandon and looked at him. "I am...so so sorry...." Her green eyes that had just held anger now held sadness as she looked at the other male. "This never should have happened..." It was at that moment she began to process everything that had just occurred, making her eyes water a bit.

Brandon was not, in any way, shape or form, against Evangelina grabbing onto him. So, when she took a hold of his arm and held it close, he didn’t think twice about it. In fact, he was happy that she’d reached out to him like she had; she clearly needed support and he was happy to give it.

Once Evangelina had said her peace, she made a move to leave to which Brandon, without another word to Mr. Townes, moved to follow her. Walking arm in arm, Brandon escorted her back inside and through the party. Following her lead, he led her to one of the hidden, lesser known exits. Once they were alone, she moved away from him, much to his dismay.

"I am...so so sorry...." Evangelina’s lovely green eyes held so much sadness within them that Brandon felt a bit of his heart break for her. No one should have to deal with a parent like that, no matter their reasoning. "This never should have happened..." Her words only seemed to upset her more. As tears began to mist her eyes, Brandon didn’t hesitate to move forward and enfold her in his arms. Drawing her against him, he cradled her head against his chest, his chin gently resting on the top of her head as he held her. “It’s okay, Evangelina…just let it all out.” Brandon was a firm believer in ‘crying it out’. Holding emotions inside, bottling them up only made things hurt even more over time. She needed to get this out of her system…

“I’ve got you…I’m not going anywhere until you want me to, so please…lean on me for a bit.” He knew that they’d only just met, but he felt like their connection was so much deeper than just acquaintances. Standing there, holding her close as she cried, Brandon knew that this was where he was meant to be.

█▌Right as her tears were about to spill, she felt someone hold her in their arms. She snuggled into his chest and let out a shaky sigh when she felt his chin rest upon her head. “It’s okay, Evangelina…just let it all out.” She had found herself crying all her pain of the night. From the many somewhat failed interactions, her father, and seeing someone being so harsh to Brandon; she cried about it all. “I’ve got you…I’m not going anywhere until you want me to, so please…lean on me for a bit.” Her green eyes widened as newfound tears began to form in them. It had truly been a long time since she's felt like this. She felt safe. She felt comfort that she barely got when she felt this way. Never had she let someone see her get so frustrated and never had she let someone see her so saddened and vulnerable. With his words, she buried her face in his chest, and cried quietly. "You won't leave me...?" she quietly moved her head, to look at him with her tear-filled eyes. "Thank you Brandon..."

It had taken her a few minutes, but her crying had finally dulled. She was now just sniffling quietly and leaning her head against his. Evangelina inhaled deeply and took in his comforting scent. "Has anyone told you that you're really comfortable...because you are." She let out a weak giggle and smiled to herself. "I'm still sorry Brandon... he shouldn't have said that to you. If he wanted to argue with me, he should have waited until we were home...." The blonde nuzzled her face in the crook of his neck. "Thank you though, for sticking up for me. Also, for letting me cry on you. Any other night and I would be crying in my room alone, refusing to let my mother in to comfort me or Lucy." She paused for a moment, then looked up at him. ” I hope you don’t regret anything that happened. Despite my father being absolutely unnecessary, I regret nothing.”

"You won't leave me...?" Evangelina’s whispered words touched Brandon’s heart in ways that he didn’t understand. Holding her a bit tighter, he ran a hand up and down the length of her back to sooth her. Soon, Evangelina’s tears were free flowing, dripping onto his shirt, but he couldn’t have cared less. If she asked, he’d take his shirt off and give it to her to use as a tissue, he didn’t care.

After a few minutes, it seemed that she’d cried enough, at least for the time being. Hearing her sniffles, he wished he had some Kleenex, but sadly there didn’t seem to be any around. As she moved to rest her head against his, he smiled to himself. If anyone happened to see them standing like this, they’d probably think they were lovers.

“Has anyone told you that you’re really comfortable…because you are.” Smiling at her compliment he couldn’t remember any ever telling him that he was comfortable, then again his past relationships hadn’t lasted too long either, but he wasn’t about to tell Evangelina that. "I'm still sorry Brandon... he shouldn't have said that to you. If he wanted to argue with me, he should have waited until we were home...." Feeling her nuzzle her face against the crook of his neck, Brandon felt his cheeks heat in a blush. “Please don’t apologize for his crass behavior…it wasn’t your fault.”

"Thank you though, for sticking up for me. Also, for letting me cry on you. Any other night and I would be crying in my room alone, refusing to let my mother in to comfort me or Lucy." She paused for a moment, then looked up at him. “I hope you don’t regret anything that happened. Despite my father being absolutely unnecessary, I regret nothing.” Brandon did not like the idea of any girl crying alone in their bedroom while their loved ones were either oblivious or unallowed to help. He especially didn’t like knowing that that was what Evangelina did when she was upset. He’d much rather have him cry all over him than have her cry alone without someone to comfort her.

“I don’t regret a moment of it, I promise.” If anything, he felt lucky to have met her. “If getting yelled at was the price that needed to be paid in order to get to know you, then it was well worth it.” He was sure that it wouldn’t be the last time Mr. Townes would yell at him for being the son of his late business partner, but he stood behind his words; he’d pay the price over and over to spend time with Evangelina. “I’m just glad that I was here to comfort you…And honestly, if you need someone to hold you like this again, I gladly volunteer.” He said with a smile, hoping she would appreciate the offer and feel a bit better.

█▌ “I don’t regret a moment of it, I promise.” Hearing that made her smile profusely. She was glad that all that happened didn't change the fact that they had met and got a chance to enjoy each other’s company. “If getting yelled at was the price that needed to be paid in order to get to know you, then it was well worth it. Evangelina felt her heart warm at that. She would have never thought that anyone would endure something so unpleasant just to be able to speak with her. "And if dealing with my father and his antics was the price I must pay to be here with you right now sharing this moment, then I would willingly." She looked up at him with admiration in her green eyes. "And as for that offer... I don't see any reason to pass it up. I get to be held by THE Brandon Heights, best dance partner in the world? The man who stood up to the grumpy, wicked Richard Townes? Anyone would jump at such an offer! I can hear all the jealous fans already~" The blonde covered her mouth and began to laugh softly at what she said.

Evangelina buried her face in his neck once more and sighed in content. She felt how she did before her father had come out to where they were. She felt at peace, with little to no people around, the loud volume of the party dimmed down to a quiet noise. It was once again just her and the man she had met, and it felt right. "You know something Brandon, if people see us like this right now, they might get the wrong idea about us~" she said, teasing him a bit. They were quite close, they had been for most of the night. If her father could see them right now, he'd most likely have a cow. She wouldn't care much though. She'd throw a last-minute baby shower just for him. She let out a light giggle and pulled away only slightly. "Now how would you feel about that?" Her once sad eyes now held a happy and playful look. It was so odd how one person you just met, could make you smile so easily. He brought out the carefree and radiant qualities she had to offer without even trying. Evangelina to felt happy to have come back to California, not just because of opportunity, but because she got to experience this.

Brandon
╚══════════════╝


█▌ He and Evangelina stood in one another’s arms for a fair amount of time, just enjoying one another’s company, not saying a word. While someone people would feel like the silence was awkward, it didn’t seem to bother either of them. All of Brandon’s past girlfriends had always felt like they needed to hold his attention, every minute of every day; he knew they were afraid that he would get bored or tired tf them, he was a movie star after all. People liked to assume that he wanted to always Go, Go, GO!’, but he wasn’t that type of guy, he liked to enjoy the quiet moments too. In his opinion, if you liked being around someone, long silences shouldn’t bother you; you should just enjoy that person’s company and presence, like he was doing now with Evangelina.

"You know something Brandon, if people see us like this right now, they might get the wrong idea about us~" She was one hundred and ten percent right about that. If anyone from the party walked out and saw them standing there, Brandon’s arms wrapped around Evangelina, her head cradled in the crook of his neck, they’d assume that they were a loving couple…Not that he would have minded that one bit. Hell, if a paparazzi snapped a photo of them like this he wouldn’t even attempt to stop the guy… "Now how would you feel about that?"

For a moment, he debated whether or not he should tell her the truth. In the end, he decided to go with the old saying, ‘Honesty is the best policy’, and tell her. “Honestly, I would secretly cross my fingers and hope that one day people wouldn’t have to assume we were together…they’d just know that you were mine…” He knew it was a bold statement and one that might get him slapped, but he didn’t care, he wanted to take that chance…tonight he felt like Lady Luck was on his side.

After a moment of silence when by he began to feel nervous, Brandon swallowed hard as his cheeks pinkened in a blush. Would she think that he was an idiot for wanting people to think they were together? Or did she want the same thing he did?

█▌ “Honestly, I would secretly cross my fingers and hope that one day people wouldn’t have to assume we were together…they’d just know that you were mine…” The moment she heard Brandon say those words, she felt her heart burst. Her mouth was opened in surprise, as she stared up at him with wide eyes. She had failed to notice the car driving past them, only to back up when they noticed them. Nothing else seemed to matter, she was too in awe to let them. Evangelina was truly questioning if this was all real. She was having a mental battle with herself, one side trying to convince her this was too good to be true, and the other side screaming that this all was very real. Closing her mouth, she smiled at him, her eyes showing just how much she admired him despite their short time together. The female was about to be as honest as he was, when she heard a familiar voice stop her. "Angel? Angel! Hey! We need to go!"

Evangelina glanced behind her shoulder to see one of her dearest friends, Lucy. She was surprised to say the least. She was going to stay at their shared place but she didn't call to tell her, she had been with Brandon the whole time. Evangelina gave the other female a questioning look. "Your mom messaged me saying your dad was pretty upset. She assumed you had an argument, and with how angry he was, he wouldn't let you stay with me. Sooooo~ she told me to come get you and find you before he did. So here I am- WAIT....who is he?." Evangelina's friend looked to Brandon with a raised brow, pushing her glasses farther up on the bridge of her nose. "Angel~ I see you've found yourself a man~ But he'll have to wait. Another man, who's pretty damn angry, is searching for you so we need to bounce." She grabbed Evangelina's arm and pulled her away. "W-wait! I...” She glanced back at Brandon with a longing and apologetic look. "Get in girly." Listening to her friend, she walked to the other side of the car and opened the passenger door up. Before she went in, her green eyes looked to Brandon one more time. "I feel the same..." she said quietly to herself before offering him one last smile. She knew he wouldn't get what she had said, but she still felt the need to let it out. "Thank you for everything Brandon! You truly are the best~ Good Night!" Her voice was louder so he could at least understand that part. Getting in the car, she shut the door and glanced out the window as her friend drove off into the night.

█▌ The look in Evangelina’s eyes suggested that she wasn’t adverse to the idea of them being together, but given the fact that she hadn’t offered an immediate answer left Brandon feeling even more anxious. He was about to tell her that she didn’t need to answer now when someone interrupted them, again. “Angel? Angel! Hey! We need to go!” Evangelina turned to look at the girl who was calling out to her, a questioning expression on her face.

‘We just don’t seem to be having very good luck tonight…’ He thought as he listened to the exchange between Evangelina and her friend. It seemed that Mr. Townes was looking for his daughter, most likely so that he could drag her home and yell at her some more. While he didn’t like the idea of Mr. Townes yelling at his daughter, he didn’t want Evangelina to leave either.

"Angel~ I see you've found yourself a man~ But he'll have to wait. Another man, who's pretty damn angry, is searching for you so we need to bounce.” Evangelina’s friend’s comment gave him a bit of hope, if her friend approved of him then it was a good thing right? However, before he could fully contemplate the idea, Evangelina was being pulled toward the car and away from him.

Evangelina’s apologetic look went a long way to sooth his nerves when it came to her lack of an answer to his previous statement; at least she didn’t want to leave him behind. “Thank you for everything Brandon! You truly are the best~! Good Night!” As the car sped off, it was only then that he realized one little hiccup…they hadn’t exchanged numbers.


-A Short Time Later-

“David! David, I need a huge favor!”
Approaching the man of the evening, Brandon maneuvered through the crowd of well-wishers. An old family friend, David was one of Brandon’s ‘go to guys’ and he hoped, prayed that he could help him now. David turned and offered Brandon a friendly smile. Turning away from the brownnosers who were trying to get on his good side, likely asking him about his newest project; everyone wanted a piece of David’s next movie.

“What can I do for you, love?” An openly gay man David was always flirting even when he wasn’t flirting, if that made any sense. “I just met the girl of my dreams, David. I am not exaggerating! I need you to give me her number, please. She left before we could exchange contact information and I need to see her again!” David’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

“You had me at the word ‘girl’! I can’t remember the last time you came to me with something this good~! Come with me~! I need to hear EVERY DETAIL!” Hooking his arm through Brandon’s, David led him away to a private corner of the room where they wouldn’t be disturbed. “Tell me EVERYTHING!” Chuckling lightly at David’s excitement, Brandon regained everything that had happened after he and Evangelina had met all the way up to the point where she’d been whisked away. “So please, please, pleeeease can I have her number?” Brandon was willing to do practically anything in exchange for Evangelina’s number.

David, a hopeless romantic and self-appointed matchmaker, grinned wide. Crossing his arms over his chest he shook his head. “Now where’s the fun in that~? No…I have something else in mind, something much more…memorable” Wrapping an arm around Brandon’s shoulders, he pulled Brandon close. “Brandon my boy, I’m going to turn you into a Prince~”

--------------------------------------------------------------𝕋𝕀𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕂𝕀ℙ : A few hours later----------------------------------------------------------------
Evangelina stared out the window of her room, towel draped over her neck. It had been a while since she left the party and she couldn't seem to get her mind off him. She truly wished that she didn't have to leave him, if she had it her way, she would have stayed with him for as long as he would allow her to. "There we go again Angel! You're zoning out.... is it about that guy you were with?" Evangelina blinked as she turned her head to look at her friend who was sitting on the rather large bed, looking right back at her. Evangelina walked away from the window and toward the bed. "You wouldn't believe it Lucy...he was so...so... he talked to me and just made my night magical. He stood up for me when my father found us. He saw me crying and comforted me..." The blonde let out a dreamy sigh as she fell on her bed and stared at the ceiling. "What am I going to do?" Lucy smiled softly and laughed at Evangelina, nudging her leg. "Just message or call the guy." It was at that moment that Evangelina realized just where she had messed up. "Oh my goodness! I didn't get his number!" She groaned loudly, grabbing a pillow and burying her face in it. Lucy laughed loudly, questioning the girl on how she spent such a personal and lovely night with a guy and didn't get his number. Evangelina quickly thought of what to do, and one thing came to mind. Ask David.

On the other line of the phone she could hear a sink shutting off. "Hello Angelina darling~ Did you leave something at the venue? Or are you perhaps inquiring about...someone~?" David's words caused Evangelina to blink and raise a brow. "Actually, if were being technical, both... Listen, I met Brandon Heights there and I need his number. I need him with me... I can't let this be the only time I ever talk to him. My heart couldn't bare it... And I'm not exaggerating one bit Davie!" She heard the man chuckle, missing the underlying mischief in the simple chuckle. "My my~ I haven't heard you like this before. Have you read one of my romance novel recommendations? Anywho! I'm a bit busy for the night have some paperwork, and then of course I'd like to turn in. SO~ How about I give you Brandon's number tomorrow? Sound good? I really must go~" Evangelina hesitated for a moment but complied seeing as it was just until tomorrow. "Thank you so much~ You're always there to help me. You're a life saver! Have a good night~" After they shared their goodbye's, the female hung up the phone, sighing in relief. She was glad she could hopefully get Brandon's number and talk to him soon. Or so she thought.

--------------------------------------------------------------𝕋𝕀𝕄𝔼𝕊𝕂𝕀ℙ : A week later, at Evangelina's party----------------------------------------------------------------

Green eyes stared back at her reflection as she let out a soft sigh. It was the evening of her birthday party and she was just finishing up with getting ready. Scanning herself and her attire, she made sure everything looked fine. She was at least thankful she wasn't wearing a pound of makeup. She had never been a fan of makeup and only wore it when needed. Her mother had complied with her one wish of only wearing the smallest amount. But she couldn't seem to comply with her daughter’s request of a small party. Instead she got a masquerade at a large ball room. Evangelina looked at her mother from the mirror's reflection as the woman approached her. "Many of the guests are already here~ The party had started a while ago, and now it's time for the birthday girl to make her entrance." She felt her mother clasp a necklace around her neck then, placed a mask over her delicate face. Evangelina stood up and turned to her mother who had begun to tear up at the sight of her daughter. "Mom you're reacting as if I'm about to get married. It's just my birthday~" A light giggle escaped her lips as she made her way to the door. Her mother waved her off and wiped a stray tear, "It's still a big day, and you look gorgeous! How am I not supposed to cry?" At that, the two ladies laughed and excited the room, making their way so that Evangelina could make her appearance.

Stopping at the large French doors that led to the ballroom, she let out a breath. From behind the doors she could hear her father's voice. "Ladies and Gentlemen may I have your attention please! It's time that we welcome the reason why we're all here. My lovely daughter Evangelina." The doors were held open for her as she entered gracefully and stood next to her father, offering those looking at her a charming smile. "Have you ever seen someone so radiant? Truly a rare flower. I hope you all will make her birthday a great one." It took everything in the blonde, not to roll her eyes. She wanted to think that he meant every word sincerely, but with how he was, she was skeptical. Stepping forward, she greeted everyone with a soft hello and folded her arms over her chest. "You know~ I remember speaking to my mother saying I wanted a simple celebration. I completely pushed away the fact that her version of simple and mine are two totally opposite things. I mean, all I need is a crown and this is almost like a royal party." She paused as everyone laughed or looked around to admire everything. "But honestly, thank you all for attending~ I hope you all enjoy your evening. You can all continue with your partying!" As the crowd of people dispersed and everyone went back to their previous whereabouts, Evangelina let out a sigh of relief. She could already see people coming up to her, about to congratulate her or talk. This was going to be a long party.

█▌Sitting in the limo on the way to the masquerade, Brandon nibbled his bottom lip anxiously in anticipation of seeing her again. It had been over a week since David’s premiere. That night had replayed a thousand times in his head and his dreams. All Brandon could think about was an enchanting pair of sparking green eyes and a stolen kiss under the moon. No matter how many times Brandon had asked, David refused to give him Evangelina’s contact information. All he had offered was a date, October 7th.

~ ‘Honey, I am going to run you into a Prince~’ Brandon had been flabbergasted by David’s words and his idea. It turned out that Evangelina’s birthday celebration, a masquerade ball to be exact, was being held exactly one week after David’s premiere.~

Luckily for Brandon, David had RSVPed for two and still needed a date. Enter Brandon. The next thing he’d known David had scheduled a suit fitting, commissioned an artist to make him a matching mask and made an appointment with a wig maker. Now, dressed in his suit and beautifully crafted black and gold mask, complete with a black wig, with a hair style that suited him to perfection, Brandon kept fidgeting in his seat. David was dressed in a pink suit which looked great on him; his matching mask completed the outfit perfectly. He always knew what to wear and how to make a statement; Brandon loved it.

Although Brandon had been opposed to wearing a disguise, David had been adamant about it. Mr. Townes would not be happy if he found out that Brandon Heights had crashed his daughter’s birthday bash, even if she wanted him to attend. David had assured that Brandon’s look was flawless, ‘Love, no one is going to recognize you with that hair, that mask and that suit. Don’t worry! I’ll get you in and make all my fanboys jealous at the same time~! It’s a win-win!”

Sensing his nerves, David nudged Brandon’s shoulder teasingly. “Don’t worry! This is going to be a night to remember…I guarantee it~!” There was no telling what David had hidden up his sleeve, but Brandon had faith in his friend. If anyone could help him and Evangelina reconnect, it was David.

Stepping into the Grand Ballroom, David’s arm hooked through his, Brandon looked on as the music played and dozens of couples filled the dance floor. Everyone was dressed to impress; it seemed that no one wanted to be the ‘ugly duckling’ of the evening. Brandon’s gaze began to move from couple to couple as he looked for Evangelina. With everyone dressed in masks and costumes it wasn’t going to be easy to find the leading lady of the evening. Sensing his line of thinking, David let go of Brandon’s arm before turning to look him in the eye. “We’re going to have to split up. You take the right, I'll take the left~ We’ll meet at the other end of the room. Without another word David walked away and was quickly swallowed by the crowd of people, pink suit and all.

█▌
Evangelina was talking to a group of her friends and laughing at their conversation. After the initial start of the party with everyone coming up to her and greeting her a happy birthday and compliment how she looked, she took it upon herself to look for some of her actual friends to speak to. Soon enough she had spotted Lucy and automatically knew that those around her were the people she was looking for. Despite their masks, she knew that Lucy would only speak to those they were close to. Even though they were getting into a really good conversation, she seemed to still be spacing out. Brandon came to mind as she wished that she could be talking to him right now, and that they could celebrate her birthday. It had been that way all week. Even though David had promised to give her his contact information, he never did. He kept pushing it at a later time seeming to always be "busy" when she texted or called to remind him of it. It was all very frustrating to the blonde really. For most of the week, no matter what she found herself doing, she would always somehow look off and start thinking of Brandon. She would think of the night they shared and how she wanted more than anything to be in his arms again.

"Angel? Angel!" Evangelina jumped at the loud voice of her friend snapping her out of her thoughts. She looked at Lucy and the group and blinked. "You were in thought again. Did you hear what Tom said? He was talking about what happened last night." Evangelina giggled slightly and nodded her head, not wanting it to seem like she wasn't listening. "Actually guys, ummm.... I’m gonna look for David. I know he came tonight because I saw the guest list so. I'll be back, then we can continue or conversation~" They all nodded to her smiling, as she slipped away from the group and started walking away to search the large groups of people. After some time of walking and dodging conversations from party goers, she finally spotted the man she had been looking for. The man who caused her a lot of frustration. David.

"David my Love~ I have a bone to pick with you~" As he turned to look at her, she gave him a playful look walked toward him. "Now who is this rare diamond among all these mere gem stones? This blooming rose among all these daisies and... weeds." Evangelina laughed as she reached out and gave him a big hug. "You're too much~ Look at you, absolutely amazing as always! ~" She gave him a good once-over and raised a brow with a smile. "Of course! Just who do you think I am?" The two proceeded to talk and ask the other how they had been and what they had been up to. The catching up was nice, but Evangelina had one thing specifically in mind. "David I wanted to ask about Brandon-" The sudden music change caused David to cut her off and grab her arm. "What's a party without some dancing love? Less talk, more movement." The blonde let out a sigh then giggled as the two began to dance to the melody that was being played by the orchestra. She felt eyes on them but decided to pay attention to their dancing instead of acknowledging the onlookers. As the song continued on to its climax, David let go of Evangelina and looked to his side at someone approaching. "Honey, I definitely know you'll enjoy this next dance. Especially with this fine, handsome young man~"

Raising a brow, she looked to where David was looking and blinked. The man had come up to the two, clearly hoping to cut in and have a dance with Evangelina. While hesitant at first to dance with the stranger, something told her to accept it. It was most likely David's eager look and the fact that he quickly walked off before she could even consider protesting. She looked at the man before her and finally offered him a smile. "I suppose we should listen to him huh?"

╔══════════════╗
Brandon
╚══════════════╝


█▌Meandering through the crowd of the costumes attendees, Brandon’s gaze darted from one girl to the next. While he knew that Evangelina could be wearing a wig like him, he knew that she couldn’t change the intensity of her eyes. Therefore, as he approached girl after girl, he would catch their gaze to not only study their eye color, but the look in their eyes. Admittedly, it wasn’t the best way to go about things, but he was desperate. By the time he reached the back of the room, he had several girls actively seeking him out for a dance or a chat; it seemed the way he was dressed and the way he was gazing into women’s eyes, seeking his Princess, was something to behold.

As he came to the rendezvous point, he searched around the room for the flash of pink. David was not there to meet him, which gave him a sense of hope, but also dread. Moving to a higher vantage point, Brandon looked down at the dance floor. The dancers twirled in circles, moving around the dance floor in perfect synchronization. As his gaze darted from couple to couple, the flash of pink he’d been looking for appeared.

Immediately darting from his perch, Brandon moved through the crowd until he reached the edge of the dance floor. It seemed that David had been waiting for him, because it only took a few moments for him to catch Brandon’s gaze and give him a little nod. After a few cycles around the dance floor, David stopped the dance as the music ended. Brandon knew this was his cue. Moving forward, he waited just behind Evangelina.

Dressed in her beautiful gown and golden mask, she looked just like the Princess and Leading Lady that she was. She took his breath away…

"Honey, I definitely know you'll enjoy this next dance. Especially with this fine, handsome young man~" As Evangelina turned to look at him, Brandon felt his heart stop. It was only the jolt of electricity that moved through him as their eyes met for a moment, that saved him. Brandon was so caught up in Evangelina’s gaze that he didn’t notice David flit away and disappear into the crowd; all he saw was Evangelina.

"I suppose we should listen to him huh?" Nodding, he could only smile. He was speechless. How many times had he imagined seeing her again? How many times had he practiced what he would say? Countless…And now that she was here, he couldn’t find the words. Instead, as the music began he took her hand and began to lead her into the same dance and step sequence they had danced around the fountain one week ago.

Staring down into her eyes, he became lost in the emerald pools. He’d gladly drown in them if she let him… “Happy Birthday…”Those words were all he could seem to say as they moved in sequence with the other couples, their movements perfectly timed with each other. With each step, they came closer to the songs end, but he still didn’t know what to say…he wanted this dance to last the whole night, but time was running out.

It was close to the end of the song, that Brandon had an idea…he just needed to get her alone. Just as the song was winding down to its last notes, Brandon stopped their dance. The other couples continued to twirl around them, unencumbered. As Evangelina looked up at him in confusion, he offered a small smile before leaning in to speak directly into her ear. “He’s still waiting for your answer, Evangelina…”

Pulling away from her, Brandon took one last look at her before he moved off the dance floor and into the crowd. Pulling out his cellphone, he immediately texted David to let him know there was a change in plans.

To: David ‘The Man, The Myth, The Diva~’ Eastwood
From: Brandon Heights
Message:
I’m heading to the outside venue where the entertainers
are set up. There is supposed to be a fireworks
display in ten minutes. Lead her there just before they
begin. I’ll be waiting.
-B

With that, Brandon headed for the outside venue. This time he’d be ready to face her; this time he wouldn’t choke on his words…And maybe, she'd give him her answer.

Evangelina
╚══════════════╝


█▌
Evangelina looked at the masked man smiling at her and smiled back a bit. As he took her hand, she got in the proper position so that they could begin their dance. As he began to lead their dance, she couldn't help but find it all familiar. Her mind began to wander to Brandon again. 'Oh my goodness... Lucy's right, I really can't quit thinking of him. No matter who I'm with or what I'm doing....' She noticed that she had yet to look her dance partner in the eye. When she lifted her gaze, she found him already staring down at her. “Happy Birthday…” Angelina smiled softly and nodded in thanks, "Thank you...." she said in a quiet voice. With how David introduced him, she was surprised to see that he seemed to be a man of very very few words. For most of the dance it was all he said. She had to admit that the dance was quite nice, she almost forgot about everyone else in the ballroom. It was when he stopped their dance that she took notice of the other couples dancing around them. Her green eyes held confusion as she tilted her head wondering why they had stopped their dancing. “He’s still waiting for your answer, Evangelina…” he whispered in her ear before walking away from her.

Evangelina stood in her spot with wide eyes, frozen. Why did he just say that to her? When she had finally processed what happened he was already gone from her sight. Her head turned everywhere in hopes of catching his figure somewhere in the crowd, but to no luck. One person came to mind at that moment. David. She walked around the ballroom, in a hurry to find the man. Once she neared one of the servers with champagne, she saw David next to him, looking at his phone with a glass in hand. Evangelina quickly walked to the man and held his arm. "That man you had me dance with, where is he? I have many questions for him David!" David gave her a smug look before laughing lightly, "Oh darling~ Whatever do you mean? What man?" She sighed and furrowed her brows at the male. "You know what I mean David. There had to be a reason why you had him dance with me, and a reason why you're reacting in such a way!" David checked his watch and downed the rest of his champagne, placing it back on the server’s tray. He looked at the birthday girl who was staring at him with pleading eyes. "If you must know, I heard he was looking forward to the fireworks show your mother had set up. If you come with me, all your questions will be answered darling~" The girl quickly nodded, not caring about anything as long as she could get some answers.

The two headed out after a few moments. They had found a way to quietly slip out and leave without anyone bothering them. David guided her by the arm around the outside venue. He guided her to a secret and secluded area, where there was a good view of the fireworks. The male pushed her toward that direction before backing away. Evangelina looked at him in confusion before she looked ahead and walked off on her own. She came to a halt when she saw the man she was looking for right there, gazing at the moon. He turned to look at her as she began to walk closer. "Hello there...I... about what you said earlier...." she looked up at him and tilted her head a bit. "How did you know that I was... I owe someone an answer…?"

Brandon
╚══════════════╝


█▌Brandon stood under the moon and stars, gazing up at them while he waited for David to lead Evangelina outside to meet him. Despite his calm and cool exterior, his heart was racing a mile and minute and his stomach was doing backflips. Taking several deep breaths, he tried to calm his anxiety. She hadn’t recognized him in his disguise. While that had been the plan so that Mr. Townes wouldn’t recognize him and throw him out, he hadn’t expected Evangelina to be fooled. He had hoped she’d at least recognize his voice or the look in his eyes, or the dance. But she hadn’t given any indication that she remembered him until he spoke of her answer.

‘Please…please let her be happy to see me…’ While David had assured him that Evangelina had asked about him, he wasn’t so sure that she still wanted to see him…Lost in thought, he was caught off guard by the sound of heels clanking against the stones behind him. Turning to look over his shoulder, he caught sight of her, Evangelina. Framed in the moonlight, she looked breathtaking.

"Hello there...I... about what you said earlier...."She looked up at him and tilted her head a bit. "How did you know that I was... I owe someone an answer…?" Turning to face her fully, he was tempted to reach out to her; to take her hand or pull her into his arms but he didn’t want to scare her either. She didn’t recognize him and for all she knew he was a friend of Brandon’s, not Brandon himself.

Offering her a small smile, he sighed a little, wondering if this was right. ‘You’ll never know until you tell her…you came all this way, don’t back out now!’Firming his resolve, he decided to just come out and say it.

“I know that you owe him an answer, Evangelina…because I have been waiting for that answer…”While he wanted to remove the wig, he didn’t dare, lest Mr. Townes interrupted them again. So instead, he reached up and removed his mask, revealing his face to her and his signature beauty mark below his left eye. “Do you have an answer for me, Evangelina?” He whispered, hope filling his gaze as he looked into her eyes, silently praying that her answer was the one he hoped for...

Evangelina
╚══════════════╝


█▌
The girl removed her mask and held it at her side. Evangelina felt herself staring at the man’s eyes. Now there was something very calming and familiar about them. Just like during the dance, her mind wandered to Brandon once again. Just how many times has she done this the whole week? It was truly a mystery. But everything this guy did made her think about him. When he spoke, she finally understood why. After having a battle with himself, he looked to her with a smile, “I know that you owe him an answer, Evangelina…because I have been waiting for that answer…” Her eyes widened in shock as he removed his mask to reveal the face of the one she had been longing to see, Brandon. “Do you have an answer for me, Evangelina?” She was absolutely speechless as she reached out her hand and placed it on his cheek gently. Running her thumb over his cheek, her eyes seemed to fill with tears of utter joy. "Brandon...?” her voice was quiet as she was afraid that she was imagining this whole thing.

Evangelina couldn't take all the emotions she was feeling. She quickly gave him a tight hug and buried her face in his neck like she had before. "You're here.... you're here with me... I'm so happy." She nuzzled her face in the crook of his neck before looking up at his calm and beautiful eyes. "I think I owe you an answer..." She really didn't care if this was the right thing to do, because at that moment it seemed perfect. Leaning up, she placed a kiss on the male's lips and let her own lips linger for a bit before pulling away slowly and staring at him. "I feel the same... When you said those words that night, I wanted to tell you right away... I really did. But I'm glad I could be here with you on my birthday and tell you instead…" she paused and looked over his face, stroking his cheek gently. ” I’m so scared that this isn’t real… but it feels so very real….” The blonde offered him the most genuinely happy smile she could muster up as a loud boom filled the sky. Her head turned to look at the bright fireworks that were filling the sky. Her eyes shined with joy as she admired their beautiful, vibrant colors. To her, this was probably one of the best birthdays.
