The night of the masquerade fell, and the petite pixie had not heard anything back from Jessie. She'd been hoping to get another chance to speak with him since their talk in the park, to see if he would mind escorting her to the ball. But no word had come from him. She'd dressed carefully, trying to wait until the last minute to see if he would somehow find a way to get in contact with her, but looking at the clock, she gave a small sigh. She wanted to go, but wasn't exactly sure she could manage to make it through the night by herself. Picking up the phone, she called his hotel, waiting for the clerk to answer. She gave the person the room number and asked to leave a message.
"If you see the man with the pompadour, please let him know that Lorissa went to the grand masquerade, and that he can find her there."
With that, she hung up the phone and then dialed another number. Lori smiled as he picked up rather quickly. "Hey Flash, I was wondering if you would mind doing me a favor?" She paused long enough to let him talk, and then continued on, "Well, I have this invite to this masquerade ball thing, and I was wondering, if maybe you would like to be my escort for the night?"
The ring of the phone had he tugging it out of his pocket, glancing at the caller id before quickly answering, "Hey Rissa, what's up?"
"Well, I have this invite to this masquerade ball thing, and I was wondering, if maybe you would like to be my escort for the night?"
"Masquerade?" He thought about what he had to wear and if there was anything appropriate in his closet. Ugh. But it was Lorissa so, it wasn't like he was going to say now. "Of course. When and where do you want me to pick you up?" He'd need something to wear and a mask, hmmm.
