“Allow me to escort you to the limo.” Cheyne said with an approving smile. Tanitha giggled and took his arm. He led her outside, closely followed by Cameron.
“ Don’t worry about the dogs.” Cheyne winked. “I shall take them out for dinner tonight. They won’t feel lonely.”
Chapter Fifteen
They arrived a little late but Tanitha didn’t care. She already felt like she was in a fantasy world, a world where reality was surreal. Nothing could have spoiled the mood she was in. Cameron escorted her into the hall like a perfect gentleman. His hair was brushed smoothly to either side of his handsome face and his sapphire eyes were dazzling with an indistinguishable flame. He was every bit the killing looker. His tall stature made him seem all the more noticeable, and impressive. Now Tanitha could see exactly why girls were drawn to him like a moth to a flame. And Tanitha was proud to be seen with him. She was beginning to develop a certain degree of affection towards him, not as powerful as to Christian but still demanding. She began hoping that nothing would spoil this perfect night.
But something did taint it. She spotted Christian way before he had spotted her and immediately she felt exhausted. Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all. She ignored him and tried to lose herself in Cameron’s witty repertoire.
The crowning of the king and queen was drawing near and Tanitha felt her stomach lurch. She wondered who would take out the titles. She began praying that she might even get princess. Her popularity had risen a bit since she’d been friends with Cameron, and more people than she thought seemed to know her. She was certain she was in the running.
Finally the music stopped. Cameron and Tanitha stopped dancing to listen carefully. Tanitha felt nervous as the presenters made their little speeches and couldn’t wait for the titles to be called out.
“Now for the presentations. The prince and princess are…Cameron Reynolds and Tarai Davidson.”
Tanitha grinned at Cameron. Cameron smiled back but he seemed distracted and Tanitha wasn’t surprised. She had been expecting him to get king. She shrugged, wondering exactly who had taken out the royal positions. Her heart pounded. It couldn’t be her, could it?
“And the king and queen of the ball is…it was a close one this year, people, I can tell you…Christian Affleck and Tanitha Robinswar!”
The room exploded into applause and Tanitha’s mouth dropped open. She was ushered up onto the stage to be presented with the crown and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Seeing that she was speechless, the commentator handed the microphone to Christian. Christian seemed half as shocked as she did. Tanitha watched him whilst he was speaking, his words soothing her mind and hypnotizing her. He handed the microphone back to the commentator.
“Now, as is customary, the king and queen shall have their first dance.”
Christian moved up to Tanitha, holding out his hand with a shy smile. His blonde hair was smooth this time and his emerald eyes sparkled with talent and charisma, taking Tanitha’s breath away more so than Cameron had.
“Shall we?” He asked, his voice flooded with emotion. He held out a singular red rose and Tanitha accepted it, placing it into her hair before nodding. She moved into his arms, picking up the slow beat of the song. As soon as she fell into place, she was glad Christian was holding her tightly for she would have fell if he weren’t. Everything went hazy, but Christian remained in sharp focus. Tanitha had the sense that she was floating, that they were the only two in the room. She rested her head on his shoulder with a dreamy sigh. This was right; it felt so good to finally be in his arms. Everything was a blur and nothing was more important than Christian’s romantic embrace, his light step as he twirled her around, his warm breath on her neck. She was aware of their two bodies, pressed together in total
