Chapter 68 - A sweet kiss in the dark

" She's gonna be present at the party tonight . " said Helios dejected .

" What ?! Are you serious ?! What will you do now ?! " said Bekora surprised .

" Simple , she told me she wanted a last kiss to get rid of her feelings for me . " said Helios .

" Typical scheme of an actress like her . Be careful not to get photographed . " said Bekora .

" Yeah ! I better go and close this matter once and for all . " said Helios .

A servant approached them and told them that madam Margrethe had ordered them to come to the ballroom . Some of the guests had arrived and she needed their presence. Bekora went ahead to welcome the guest and give time to Helios so that he could finish the mater with Juli . Helios's phone rang again . He shut down the call and wrote a message to her that he would be at the salon with the red door near the ballroom's entrance . She replied back saying okay and Helios put his phone back in his pocket then left towards the salon with the red door .

Meanwhile Aria and Mana were almost ready . The were taking care of the final touch . Mana wore a long , red trumpet form dress with her back exposed and had a cute long ribbon behind the dress's waistline . She wore a light make up and a pendant with a bid red heart shaped ruby . Mana had her hair straight and then wore a tiara made of red rubies . Aria had chosen a white ball gown with a big grey ribbon in the front part of the dress's waistline . In the middle of the ribbon there was a rhomboid diamond that shined brightly . Her chest part was half filled with the same diamonds . Mana made sure that Aria didn't know the gemstones the dress had were real diamonds otherwise she wouldn't have wore it . When choosing the dress , Aria told Mana a couple of times that she wouldn't wear a dress with expensive gemstones . After a few tries Mana saw that this white dress described Aria's naivety and cleverness perfectly . Aria was against this dress cause it looked like it was a very expensive one but Mana made sure to fool her and in the she accepted wearing it . Two maids gave them a red and a white mask .

" Are you sure you don't wanna wear the necklace I choose for you ? " asked Mana when she saw Aria's gold necklace with a snowflake .

" No , the bracelet and the earrings are enough ! This necklace means a lot to me . I had it since with me from the day I was born . " said Aria with a sweet smile while looking at her necklace .

" Okay , since you prefer your necklace then I won't insist ! We need to wear the masks and then go to the ballroom . " said Mana and handed the white mask with a white feather on the left corner to her . Mana wore her mask too .

" Mana you look gorgeous ! " said Aria when looking at her .

" You look very sweet Aria ! As I thought , the white color suits you the best ! " said Mana and Aria smiled .

The both of them towards the stairs with two maids following them . While they were walking towards the ballroom Mana noticed that Aria wasn't as tall as she used to be when she wore the high heels yesterday . Aria noticed that Mana was looking at her with a suspicious expression .

" Mana ?! " asked Aria .

" Tell me the truth Aria , you didn't wear the butterfly high heels we choose yesterday , did you ?! " said Mana with doubt .

' She has a really sharp eye , no wonder she's Rose Sauvage's creator ! The eye of a proffesional ! ' thought Aria a bit nervous .

" I , I...." said Aria then Mana grabbed her from the hand .

She pulled her to a corner and ordered Aria to show her feet to her .

" Hurry up ! " said Mana with an angry smile .

Aria reluctantly showed her feet to Mana and she remained a bit surprised when she saw that Aria was wearing black sneakers .

" I kinda noticed it when I was trying to find your dress.....you really don't care about beauty at all don't you ?! " said Mana with an unamused face and Aria nodded nervously .

" Haaa.....go and get miss Aria's high heels in the changing room and bring it to her in the resting salon next to the ballroom . " said Mana and the maid went to fulfill the princess's order .

Mana noticed that two famous fashion icons were walking in front of her . She wanted to greet them and try to make an agreement with them .

" Aria , you see those two ladies there ?! " said Mana and Aria nodded .

" I need to talk to them about some business related things before they enter in the ballroom . If they do it will be hard to talk . " said Mana .

" Okay ! Should I wait here for you ? " asked Aria .

" You see that red door over there . That is a resting room for important guest . The maids and guards know you're my friend , they won't cause you trouble . Wait in there for the maid to bring the high heels over and wear them . I will come as soon as possible to get you . " said Mana and then left towards those ladies's direction .

" Great , now I have to wear high heels ! I'm afraid I will trip ! " said Aria and headed towards the resting salon with the red door .

She entered inside and kept walking back and forth while thinking about how to request a recommendation from the queen .

' Gosh ! I have to get that recommendation letter at any cost . Aria , get yourself together , you went through great lengths to prepare for the visiting the queen . You even changed a hundred dresses and sixty pair of high heels ! Now think straight and prepare what your going to say ! " said Aria to herself and started to think of how to talk to the queen .

While Aria was lost in her thoughts , Helios was heading to the resting salon with the red door .

' That sneaky actress may try to use this chance and gain more popularity for herself . She promised that it would be the last time she would disturb me . Physically speaking I had a good time with her and that' s the only reason why I am fulfilling this last wish of hers . Still I won't give her the chance to try and make popularity of out of this ! ' thought Helios and closed the lights then entered inside.

" Why did the lights suddenly turned off ?! " said Aria while looking around .

She turned her back and saw that the door opened then closed again . Aria thought that it was the maid whom Mana ordered to get the high heels .

" You're here ! The lights suddenly went off and....." said Aria but a hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her strongly near . She could feel from the strength that it wasn't the maid .

" Don't you dare bother me again after this ! " said Helios and pulled her forcibly near him .

He let go of her wrist and with one had grabbed her from her waist , with the other he touched her face . When he pulled her near he smelled a different fragrance from the one Juli usualy wore . The moment his lips touched hers , he couldn't feel the lipstick Juli usualy wore .

' Her smell , her lips.....this isn't Juli . Even though it's not her.....why does this girl's lips taste like strawberry with honey . They're so sweet.....I don't know this girl yet my body is moving on it's own . I want more of this sweetness ! ' thought Helios and continued to kiss Aria even more .

From the force he had and his lips , Aria could tell that he was a young man . She tried to break free but his arms wouldn't let go of her . She felt like her body was about to run out of energy from that kiss . He looked like he wanted to swallow her lips .

' Who's this guy ?! Why isn't he letting me go ?! I'm sacred yet I.....his kiss is a bit fierce but at the same time tender . ' thought Aria with her cheeks bright red .

One of her hands leaned towards his chest that felt warm and strong . The more she tried to release get away from his arms the more he pulled her back . He was a bit annoyed at how she pushed him all the time and wanted to let her go but that unique sensation of sweetness and pleasure made him unable to release his grip . A little bit of light that came from the window shined a bit upon Aria's neck making Helios notice her necklace with the snowflake . Aria was also able to see on of his eye . A deep blue , more blue than the ocean and skies . Aria knew that he wasn't thinking of letting go so she thought of stepping on his foot . Helios felt pain and lossened his hand .

' This girl is strong ! ' thought Helios with his foot in a bit of pain .

' I can escape now ! ' thought Aria and pushed him with all her force and run towards the door then left .

' This girl isn't Juli . She didn't have a lot of make up on her face and was shorter than her . She wanted to get away from me and got an excellent idea....interesting . ' thought Helios and Aria's imagine appeared in his head .

' She reminds me a bit of the little tigress .....No way ! She's hasn't even arrived yet . Whoever it was, had really savory lips . ' thought Helios with devilish eyes staring at the door .
