Chapter 21

I rolled my eyes and averted my attention to the van.

Liv opened up the back and we climbed in.

"I'm using my tech to make you eye masks." She said.

She handed me mine and I gasped. It was a beautiful but simple eye piece, with little feathers at the end.

Blake then got his. It was red and black, but mostly red.

We put ours on and nodded at each other.

Liv handed the rest out. They all matched their dresses.

We had shown her our outfits so that the masks could match.

She then went to the drivers seat and sped off.

"You are a terrible driver liv." I yelled, holding the seat.

Once we finally got there she briefed us on what was going on. "The hostages are held in the basement. If you find the door, tell everyone through the earpiece."

We all looked at each other, determination in our eyes.

Liv told us to go and we got out of the van. It became invisible and we went into the building.

It was a very nice ballroom, with decorations.

I talked through the earpiece and told everyone to split up. Blake and I were in charge of socializing for information, Lucas was in charge of saving the hostages, and Tessa and Aura were going to look around for anything.

We split up and Blake and I walked through the dance floor.

We talked to some people and he seemed very proper. Almost as if he were educated in ballroom etiquette.

He would take women's hands and kiss them, talk in a very polite way, and never used slang.

I was surprised to say the least.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed and a spotlight was put on us.

I froze and looked at him. He was keeping his cool.

He brought out his hand, motioning for me to take it.

"'May I have this dance m'lady?" He asked.

I felt my cheeks flush and I smiled slightly.

"Of course." I said, and I took his hand. He led me to the middle of the ballroom and pulled me close.

"Follow my lead." He whispered.

The music started and I took a deep breath. As long as we're distracting the guests, everything will be fine.

He placed my other hand on his shoulder, and put his hand on my waist.

He brought the hands that were tangled together outward, and we started moving.

He moved quickly and gracefully. We circled once and then he moved our hands up.

He basically then pushed me out, and pulled me back in, spinning me into his arms.

I looked into his eyes and he looked into mine. I almost stopped breathing.

He whispered to spin out and come back, so I did just that.

We repeated that a couple times until he sped up the pace.

He put our arms up and spun me around twice, pushing me out and then back in.

"Dip." He whispered to me.

I smiled and he let go of my hand.

I dipped backward, trusting him completely. He caught me of course, and I looked into his grey eyes again.

We were both breathing heavily. The tension kept rising until we heard a whisper on the com.

"Got the hostages now get out of there." Liv said.

We both got ourselves together and Blake took my hand and ran off, me trailing behind him.

He started laughing and I followed suit. We ran out of the ballroom and continued laughing.

We finally found the van and we waited for the rest. Lucas sped around the sneaky way and brought a hostage, and then another, and then another.

Tessa and Aura came back laughing as well. And they were also holding hands.

I looked at her with a smirk to which she returned the favor.

Huh?

I looked down and noticed Blake and I's hands were still intertwined.

I shook my hand away and blushed. I looked away and Aura giggled.

We got in the van and wiped the hostages memory of seeing us. We dropped them off at the hospital and raced back to the school before we got caught sneaking out.

Once we finally got there we said goodnight to everyone and headed back to the dorm.

I smiled to myself as I walked.
