Topzy~Turvy~Twist: Ch.2~ A Night to Remember.

Chapter 1
10 years after the preface occurs.

She walked out of the main dining room with and air of confidence that only I could rival. She wore a dress that only I could wear better. But tonight was her night, not mine, and honestly I was euphoric to accept. I’d always hated and loved the spotlight, it was kinda annoying. I watched her flip her hair before she walked up to me.

“Tess, why aren’t you inside with me, I need you there.” She said pouting, her eyes smoldering.

“You don’t need me, besides; I don’t want the attention, sitting up there.” I smiled at her. “Cassie you’ll do fine, I’ll stand in the back inconspicuously not being there, and if you really need me then I’ll come up.”

Cassie let out a beaming smile and then looked down at her dress, and frowned a little. “They think I’m changing…” Her head shot up to me. “You’re the fashion expert, gimme a new dress.”

I stepped back a way and examined what I had to work with, and smirked. I love checking out my girlfriend. I closed my eyes and imagined up a new dress for her: Knee length midnight black with strips of red fabric and a corset top with elaborate beading. I snapped my fingers and her current clothing rippled and morphed into her new dress. I opened my eyes and Cassie was beaming.

“Ohhhhh thank you Tessa. I love you so much.” She rushed over to me and planted a kiss on my cheek.

“Go go, you’re gonna be late for your speech, and I love you too.” I said pushing her towards the double doors to the grand dining room, which by now had been turned into a dining room. “Don’t worry; I’ll be in the back, black cloak, hood up, just call out either way if you need me. And don’t start for 5 minuets; I need to talk to someone for a moment.”

Cassie smiled, knowing exactly what I was about to do. She stepped up to the main doors and nodded to the servants standing there to open them up. She walked back into the room with the confidence she walked out with. Once I was by myself, and turned towards the back balcony and stepped outside. I pulled a velvet black rose out of thin air and place it on the railing, and sigh.

“Ten years Jackle, and I still miss you more then ever. I’m gonna visit you tomorrow, but tonight is an important for Cassie, and I can just bail on her. I love…”

~: Flashback:~

“..you.” A warm breeze blew across the balcony as I stood there in front of the one person that I shouldn’t be saying that too. In the setting sun I can see Jackle’s pained look as he debates what to do. His hand reaches up and brushes the hair off my face, and he pulls me into kiss him. He tastes pleasantly of chocolate, which mixes with my cinnamon. He pulls back and looks into my eyes

“I love you too, but you know…”

“I know, it’s forbidden by the prophesy, but I don’t care” I whisper, picking up my black rose from the balcony.

~:End Flashback:~

I’m brought back to reality by Spikes hand on my shoulder, and his eyes looking concerned at me.

“You ok Tess…?” He begins, but I silence him. I pick up the rose and put it to my nose.

“She’s about to start, go back in, I have to hide my self.” I smile at him, knowing what he’s thinking. “Jesters are selfish creatures Spike, who am I to deny that. I want HIM, and only him. So no I can’t get over it that easy. Lets go, I don’t want to miss her. You and her are all I have left.”
