I must say I was very impressed.
First cause the party was held in one of the most exquisite clubs in Beverly.
Second cause.. Damn! everywhere looked magical, dark.
I suddenly felt safe, cause I knew that in the midst of such a crowd, he wouldn't spot a girl almost the same color of the room.
It was then I realised that I wasn't completely camouflaged.
My sky blue gown would surely give me out to Lucas.. Fuck it!
But once again, I tried to remind myself that this party wasn't some sort of mouse trap.
I was here to party. And determined to do that as well.
I tried my best to stop thinking and have fun with my two best friends.
"Over there, Lucas is over there "
Tanya said, half heartedly to a blonde by her side. Who I guessed had asked for Lucas.
I wanted to sigh and fix my eyes on something else. Maybe the wine tower Rayla and Tanya were headed to.
But instead, my eyes turned to the direction the blonde was headed.. I tried to turn around quickly. Avert my gaze like I had seen a completely different thing.
But it was too late, our eyes had met, and unfortunately, our gaze lingered.
I tried to look brave, but I began to sweat even in the fully air conditioned room. I rubbed my sweaty palms on my sky blue dress.
"Please don't let him recognize me Lord"
I prayed. I didn't do that often but I really had to now.
And my prayer was answered!
Cause after about thirty seconds, he looked away from me. Smiling at the blonde who had walked to him.
I heaved a sigh of relief, before I heard Rayla call me.
"Bisshhh!"
I smiled as I turned to her.
She was smiling at me with a bottle of Cognac in her hand.
"Come over here"
She called out, I nodded in laughter as I walked to her.
He didn't recognize me.. So I could party as much as I wanted to.
It felt.. So good.

Gotcha bitch!
I said in my head, as my eyes met hers. The image of her in my head was vague though. But with the description my friends had given to me. It was her!
It couldn't be anyone else.
I quickly turned to the girl who had just called my name. I didn't want her to suspect my gaze. I wanted to.. suprise her.
I smiled and turned to the blonde beside me. Focusing the corner of my left eye on her movements.
She sure drank like the bitch she was.
I found myself smiling as I watched her lip sing the song that was currently playing. She was almost as dark as the room I had to say.
But then, she had something about her.
She looked so free.
The way she shook her head to every rhythym made me want to laugh.
Focus Cage, she's a foe.
Focus Cage.
I just had to let her be alone.
When I saw her pick her phone and walk towards the exit.. I knew I had found my only chance.
I stood up from the stool I sat and smiled to the ladies beside me.
"I'll be back soon"
They all nodded in agreement as I swiftly, but quietly headed for the exit as well.

Nobody's POV

She walked quietly to the exit of the club, trying to get a signal for her call.
It was from Pionee her French colleague at Hayleys.
"Hello Pionee"
She groaned as she put the phone down. She couldn't hear a thing.
"I'll text you when I get out of where I am now"She managed to say as she put the phone down.
Alex could feel something was wrong. The corridor felt darker, less secure, dangerous.
Worse still, she could hear footsteps.
Instincts told her to run out, but outside felt even worse.
She pressed her back to the wall. Breathing heavily.
Whatever was in the corridor was sure to surface soon. All she had to do.. was wait.
"Ugly.. Ugly.. Ugly"
She heard the voice say. She could feel the speaker grin.
"Who... Who... Who is it? "
She stammered, back still fixed on the wall.
"So, you answered"
It said, then laughed.
"Thought you dreaded the name"
"I do" she barked back.
It scoffed.
"Oh, then why answer it? "
"I'm not about to tell a ghost what to call me"
She replied. Her breath was beginning to fail her.
Suddenly she felt a hand around her wrist.
Her body stiffened as the speaker came to light in front of her.
Sea blue eyes pierced through hers like a sharp blade, eager to slice a body into two perfectly equal halves.
And those eyes belonged to.. Lucas Cage.
She quickly pulled away.
Him! He had fooled her, she was.. trapped!
"Why did you follow me here? "
She asked feebly, sounding like a scared little toddler.
Lucas smiled at her fear.
"So cute " He mocked.
"What do you want? "
He came closer to her, pressing his strong chest to her upper abdomen.
Alex swallowed hard.
"I want to warn you Ugly. "
Not again!
"Don't call me that"she snapped.
Lucas grinned.
"We'll meet again Ugly"
And with that, he walked away. Leaving a frightened and perspiring Alex.

Standing up, he staggered to the wooden desk at the distal end of the room where his mirror stood.

Ugly and the prince Cheers to the future
Lucas POV**It wasn't easy pulling away from her, from all of what might have happened.I could have just continued, Alex would have surely let me. I knew!But something in me told me there was more to dates than making out and having - most times - casual sex.You could get to know each other better, become great friends,share thoughts , heartfelt opinions , eat together, so many things.Where had this voice of reasoning been all my life?As she took my hand to rise from the bed, her eyes never left mine .She must be wondering , thinking .She would never understand how special she was to me.Even I didn't understand."Dinner is served"I said , leading her to a table for two prepared in another room of Ariana.This one was dimly lit, a mixture of red and deep blue lights.I could see neon posters all over the room, with
Ugly and the prince The Ariana
Alex POV **It was just five minutes to eight .I stood in the red dress Tanya and Rayla had practically forced on me.I had to say,I did look pretty.My dark hair was made to fall in front of only my left shoulder,adorned with an equally red hair clip.Rayla did a good job with my make-up.It wasn't so loud,but I was pretty enough to blush at my very own image.I couldn't wait for Lucas to see me like this.I looked down at my red heels.Although I had insisted on flats due to my height,Tanya heard none of it .She had said I couldn't ruin the perfect outfit with flat shoes.What did I know?I agreed."Nervous much?"I heard Tanya say as she sat on a stool close to me.I couldn't deny it.I was a nervous wreck.I sighed,bring
