“Lipstick…” I murmured, reaching up to wipe it away. “Is mine smudged…?”

Gray’s POV:

I took her hand and gently kissed her palm, pulling her towards me and closing the door behind her.

“No,” I said, kissing the side of her mouth. “It’s not. It looks perfect.”

I shivered against his chest, the warmth of his body seeping through his layers of clothing. "We shouldn't keep the others waiting…."

Lucas’s POV:

“After this dance…” I swallowed thickly. “Can we… find an empty spot? I don’t think I can survive without kissing you any longer than I already have.”

Ashley’s POV:

I paused for a moment before wrapping my arms around his neck in a tight hug. “Of course,” I murmured. “I want to kiss you so badly, too…”

Gray’s POV:

“We shouldn’t,” I agreed, kissing the top of her head. “Let’s go?”

Lucas’s POV:

“Good,” I forced out, closing my eyes and resting my forehead against hers. If I didn’t look at her, I might be able to control myself.

Ashley’s POV:

“Have I told you how good you look tonight?” I asked softly, taking in a breath of his scent. Gosh, he smelled good tonight… Did he usually smell this good? Maybe it was just my hormones from the pregnancy, but he just smelled so good…

Lucas’s POV:

I rested my head in the crook of her neck, breathing her in deeply.

“Yes, you have…” I murmured, kissing the skin softly. “My angel…”

I rubbed her stomach softly, a smile on my features.

“Do you want to rest? We don’t want you getting tired…”

"Let's go," I agreed, slipping my hand into his and detaching myself from his embrace.

Ashley’s POV:

“A quick snack would be good. I’m a little hungry, and I saw some cupcakes that look really good over there,” I mused. “But we should go find somewhere private after that. Food is my third love, but you’re my first.”

Gray’s POV:

We walked inside and I felt completely entranced. This. This is what literally royalty feels like. All the decorations, the lights, the way this party was designed. I was extremely lucky to be invited to this.

Ari would have loved it.

We spotted Ashley and Lucas dancing, but we couldn’t find Eden and Sterling.

Lucas’s POV:

I grinned at her.

“That sounds perfect,” I replied. “A quick snack, and then extra dessert.”

I carefully placed my mask on my face, wide-eyed and exhilarated as I looked around, craning my head to take it all in.

"It's so beautiful…." I breathed, enchanted,

Gray’s POV:

“It is…” I murmured, squeezing her hand tightly.

(I don’t know what to make them do???)

(Oof… Hey, maybe Gray could find Sterling, and Violeta could find Eden?)

Ashley's POV:

I giggled slightly at the way he worded it. That was certainly one way to put it. "Wonderful… I wonder if the song is almost done," I hummed.

(Yes, but I don’t want to be it. So not it, T!)

Lucas’s POV:

I grinned.

“Anytime soon, love,” I whispered in her ear.

Ashley's POV:

I hugged him tighter and rested my head on his chest worth a sigh. "How about now? Can we go now? I'm hungry, and thinking about cupcakes hasn't helped…"

Lucas’s POV:

I laughed, pressing another kiss to her neck.

“Let’s go,” I chuckled, grabbing her hand and leading her off the dance floor. “Let’s go and fill your belly. We can’t keep the peanut waiting, either.”

Dammit
Wait, so where is Eden?)

Ashley's POV:

"Are you just going to keep calling her foods until she's born?" I asked with a small giggle at his kiss, then let him lead me toward the food. "Because that could either be really cute or really annoying. Depending on how often you do it."

(She’s sitting. Waiting for Sterling. XD)

A few minutes later, I caught sight of a familiar head of hair, sitting off to the side of the dance floor. Eden? The woman was wearing a mask, like everyone else, but even from this distance, I could see that her gothic dress was suited to my friend’s style.

Leaving the dance floor, I tapped her lightly on the shoulder, realizing for certain who she was.

Eden’s POV:

I snapped my head up to meet the masked eyes of a female. Furrowing my eyebrows, I tried to decipher who it was when it clicked. Of course.

“Vee,” I stood up. “You look amazing.”

Ashley's POV:

"Are you just going to keep calling her foods until she's born?" I asked with a small giggle at his kiss, then let him lead me toward the food. "Because that could either be really cute or really annoying. Depending on how often you do it."

Lucas’s POV:

I looked insulted.

“Bold of you to assume it’ll last till birth,” I said dramatically, reaching the food tables. “It’ll be cute. Food nicknames are adorable.”

Ashley’s POV:

I chuckled softly before my eyes landed on the food. “Ooh… Everything looks so good, babe. What should I get? I really want one of those chocolate cupcakes. Those are always so good.”

Lucas’s POV:

“You want me to go over there and get you some?” I questioned. “They even have salads and roasted chicken and other stuff.”

Ashley’s POV:

I looked over the table with a sigh, tapping my cheeks thoughtfully. “How about I get some chicken and then a cupcake? That seems like a good enough snack for now. You can get your own plate of food, too, if you want.”
