Smitten || Carlos de vil

XLII: Cotillion

Before they finally left the carpet to the boat where the Cotillion was being held, the two walked to the entrance being greeted by Lumiere. Priscilla gave the older man a nod with a smile as Carlos just nodded at him. Priscilla and Carlos walked down the stairs, the princess was a step ahead of Carlos, she held the bottom of her dress as Carlos' hand was at her lower back

Priscilla and Carlos both made it to the main floor, the two stared at the scene in front of them. The loud music playing with people dancing with each other, Priscilla admired how Jane set up the place with her hard work with the boat. As they looked around Carlos' hand slides to her arm then they went back to his sides

"Priscilla!"

The sound of the new voice made Priscilla turn around to look around her as Carlos sheepishly looked down at his hands. Priscilla's eyes landed on Fairy Godmother, she smiled at the older woman "Fairy godmother" The daughter of Aurora greeted

"Oh, Priscilla, dear, I have some truly enchanting news to share! But firstly, you look wonderful"

Priscilla, ever curious, smiled warmly "Thank you! And do you now?"

"Did you know Jane has a date!" Fairy godmother's voice filled with joy for her daughter as Fairy godmother eyed Priscilla's hair seeing a piece out of place, she reached forward slightly fixing it as she spoke

Priscilla's smile grew wider at the news as she grabbed the piece Fairy godmother touched and brushed her fingers through her hair "Oh does she? I'm so happy for her, she deserves it" Priscilla nodded her head, a bit upset that her friend hadn't told her about it herself but then again Priscilla herself hadn't told Jane that Carlos was her date so she couldn't be as upset

Priscilla shook away her thoughts but before Priscilla could say anything more, Fairy godmother's enthusiasm carried her away "Exactly! Now, since Jane has a date, dear, I was hoping you could help me with drinks"

Priscilla, yearning to share her own news, attempted to interject "Fairy godmother, I'd love to help with drinks, but-"

Fairy godmother caught up in her excitement, continued talking without pause, not giving Priscilla a chance to finish "Perfect! I knew you'd agree.." Fairy godmother turned around from Priscilla and began walking back to where the drinks were held expecting Priscilla to follow right behind her

Priscilla took a quick glance at Carlos before going back to Fairy Godmother and she finally couldn't hold it in any longer "Fairy godmother!" She exclaimed, drawing the Fairy's attention and making the woman turn back around "I have a date too" She said softly to Fairy Godmother, Carlos let out a small smile

Fairy godmother blinked, finally registering Priscilla's words. Her face lit up with a smile "Oh Bibbidi-Bobbidi! Priscilla, that's absolutely marvelous! Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Priscilla laughed and shook her head, relieved that she could finally share what she had been trying to say to the adult "I was trying to, but you were so caught up talking about the drinks"

Fairy Godmother's laughter chimed like a bell. Priscilla grinned, Fairy godmother silently stood in her spot as she looked at the dancing student in front of her. Her eyes soon landed on Carlos who was on the other side of her. His eyes were on Priscilla but then shifted to Fairy Godmother seeing her looking at him "Do you have a date too?" She asked, placing a hand on his shoulder

Carlos nodded with a quiet 'yeah', his gaze went back to Priscilla who was already looking at him with a smile. Priscilla laughed at Fairy godmother for not getting what they were trying to go with. Fairy godmother sighed happily for them. The princess placed a hand on Fairy Godmother's shoulder "Fairy godmother" she said slowly making the older woman look at her, Priscilla didn't say anything else as she moved towards Carlos, reaching for his hands
