19. You looked ugly in that

Every masquerade party there is this fancy dance where partners change every minute as we see in movies.

And at the party I'm currently attending were no exception regarding the dance but the black knight in front of is refusing to let go of me.

"Amir, we're ruining the dance. It's more beautiful when we swap partners like in the movies." I said while swaying with him and somehow we ended up in the middle of the circle alongside with the twins.

Latifa danced and threw a wink at me. I could practically hear her saying 'you go and get him girl!'

This idiot, what is she thinking?

But it was my turn to wink when she ended up in the hands of Keith. Her amused face turned to anger.

Those two would make a great couple, I chuckled. Sabrinna however smirked at my direction but her usuall expressionless face made the guys uncomfortable. That is Sabrinna for you.

"I don't want to dance with anyone else." He casually said.

Is he messing with me?! He's playing with my feelings, that jerk!

"Well I so want to dance with you and I enjoy being near you." I smiled sweetly. Note the sarcasm.

He leaned forward while I leaned back but he managed to whisper so only I could hear. "Who could resist my beauty? All the girls would kill to be where you are, you should be grateful."

I barked out a laugh. "You're getting too cocky for your own good. I fear for your poor ego." I stop dancing and unwrapped my hands from his neck as his dropped from my waist and faked bowed.

"Well then prince charming, if you will excuse me I need fresh air, you're kinda making me sick." I walked outside which took a while as I avoided not to bump into anyone.

As I stepped outside the cool air wrapped itself around my body and I suddenly was able to relax. My emotions are confused.

I though I had it all controlled but with Amir, I don't know anymore.

Ugh that guy, why does he have to be so annoying? I don't want him to mean something to me.

That will really end in a tragedy and heartbreak and I can't afford that in my life. I can't let him get to me.

I know that he's heartless I'm not stupid.

But will I really spend my whole life as the wife of someone that does not love me? Or will I be the divorced woman who disappoint her parents?

"Is Layla really think with her small brain?" A voice snapped me from my thoughts. Amir.

I threw a punch at his face but he caught my fist just before it connects with his cheeks. "Now that's rude, I was concerned about your head. It might explode from all that thinking."

"Oh yeah? Why don't you go somewhere else and leave me be?" I drew my hand back from his grip.

He looked at my lips for a good amount of time. "Hey! My eyes are up here."

But he didn't answer instead he reached for my lips and used his thump to wipe the lipstick on them. I tried to pull away but he held my neck and continued to wipe. What is he doing!?

"There, you looked ugly in that."

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! you just ruined my make-up! Now I can't go back in there." I slapped his shoulder several times and this time he did not stop me.

"Good, let's go." He said.

"Where?"

Before he could answer 5 huge guys made their way up to us.

"Hey! Love birds. Think you can help us find a particular boy." A guy in black and covered in ink said.

"It depends on who you're after." Amir answered, his aura changed all of sudden.

Amir slowly stepped in front of me, tucking me behind his back. I rolled my eyes, am I a child to him? I peeked at the guys over his shoulder.

"Keith." The guy said.

"He's busy, now why don't you go back to where you came from?"

Oh oh, Amir is really testing him, the guy looks like he's about to explode.

"I knew I heard that attitude somewhere, you sure have guts Amir."

They know each other?

Without warning a fight started between the two. While I was occupied with my shockness another guy captured my hands but I twisted it out his grip and held the back of his head smaching him with another one that were coming my way.

Of course that did not keep them down, one of them gripped my throat hard I almost suffocated but fell on the ground when I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine.

With my heels I bet he will have trouble getting kids in the future, poor him. Amir head bumbed with a guy and kicked another in the guts.

My attention was brought back when one of them grasped my forearm violently. I punched the guy hard in the nose and kicked him.

"That was not very nice you jerk, it will leave a mark." I hissed.

Suddendly I saw a fist coming directly at my face but bearly dodged it. Before he could do anything Amir clenched the guy's hair and pulled him back.

All five of the guys laid on the ground.

"Is that muscles of yours just for show? Pathetic, that was too easy." I chuckled.

"Get out of here" Amir growled and they all limped away.

Amir turned to face me, as his eyes connected with my neck his face became cold and rage was coming off of him. He brought up his fingers to my now exposed neck and grazed them gently with his thumb.

I cried out of the ache. How did I not feel that? I was worried about my arm, it turned out that my neck was suffering.

"I'm going to kill them." He growled deeply and I started to panick.

"What-" he started walking to direction the guys went. "Wait, Amir! Forget it, we already taught them a lesson." I grabbed his arm to make him stop with all my might but he managed to drag me a little.

"Amir please this is nothing. You're making me feel weak."

He looked at my neck with concern. "Does it hurt?"

I shook my head and he sighed heavily as he took of his mask. "Good thing they did not see your face or else you will be caught up in my mess."

I didn't realized that we were wearing our masks this entire time. I took off mine and swing it with my point finger "is that concern that I hear?"

He rolled his eyes "Yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night."

Good, maybe that way my feelings won't expand more if it's only one-sided.
