37 The ball, part 2
Snow's eyes widened when she heard what Noctis said.
She automatically tried to pull away, but Noctis' hand just tightened its grip, holding her in place. She couldn't think of a good enough reason that Noctis would like to introduce her to his father. She is just a mere person that guards his and his son's life.
When the king turned around, his face lighted up like a christmas tree. There was almost a tiny sparkle in his eyes, that Snow knew wasn't there before. She wondered why he looked so glad to meer her.
When Noctis saw that his father turned around, he began to make introductions, "father, this is Snow, Snow this is my father."
"The one with the extraordinary abilities, yes I've heard so many great things about you, Snow and I'm so delighted to finally meet you," the king said, smiling.
"Like wise, your majesty." Snow said curtsying.
"You don't have to bow to me dear," the king laughed, making Snow smile shyly.
"Noctis has told me about your eyes, but its truly magnifisent seeing it up close," the king said.
"Thank you, your highness, but not all people would agree with you," Snow said politely.
''Nonsense, but you are quite right, they always see what is strange, but not what's beautiful," the king said, taking a wine glass from the tray, that one of the servants carried.
''Your majesty, might I have a moment of your time, please?" a guy came forward, he looked to be in his fifties, and very rich.
The king nodded and said his goodbyes, and saying it was nice to meet Snow, before going with the man to talk.
Not long after the king left, Noctis' friends appeared with Snow's friends. It turned out they found each other and was hanging out together when they saw Noctis and Snow talk to the king.
"The big introduction, hey Noc?" Promto asked, with a big smile on his face, making Noctis roll bis eyes.
''Yes, how did it go Noctis, I hope it went according to your wishes." Ignis asked, more serious than Promto did.
"I think it went well, my father already likes Snow, so I kind of expected it to go well."
"Wait, you planned this?" Snow asked, surprised.
"Not exactly, I wanted to introduce you to my father for awhile now, but I decided just now to actually do it," Noctis explained.
"Wow! It's so romantic," Cynthia exclaimed, smiling to herself.
Snow smiled and shook her head at her friend, Cynthia is really a romantic person, Snow thought to herself, while the others just laughed.
The night went on peacefully for a change. The guests started to go home around midnight, and so did Snow and her friends.
Noctis said that Snow's friends can stay over, and so can his, so it then turned into a sleepover.
Snow's friends got mattress' to put in her room for the night, so that they could stay in one room.
Noctis and his friends also stayed there untill it was far into the morning hours, playing games, before they also went of to bed.
"Snow, you are so lucky to have the prince being interested in you," Thea said playfully.
"He's not interested in me, we're just friends," Snow countered, making everyone groan.
"What?" Snow laughed.
"Girl you are so blind, how can you not see he likes you," Cynthia asked, putting popcorn in her mouth.
All the girls were lying in there beds, propped up on their arms.
"I believe Cynthia is correct, Snow, for once. The prince is smitten by you." this time it was Fay who spoke, the others all hummed in response, it was only Cynthia who rolled her eyes at Fay's comment.
"You guys!" Snow laughed at her friends, then she got an idee.
Suddenly a pillow went flying across the room, smacking Cynthia square in the face. The popcorn that she had went flying in different directions.
"Hey! Who was that?" Cynthia exclaimed. Everybody else burst out laughing, because Cynthia's well kept hair, was standing in different directions. Even after they changed into their nightgowns, her hair was still miraculously in place.
Fay, who also laughed at Cynthia got a pillow in the face, "what was that for!?"
"You laughed at me, and you seem like the type to do something like this," Cynthia said, dusting her hands off.
Almost like Cynthia expected it, Fay threw the pillow, but then she ducked and it hit Thea instead.
Thea threw the pillow off her, not looking where she's throwing it.
The pillow hit Yuna's bowl of popcorn sending it flying directly at her, but unfortunately Yuna couldn't get out of the way fast enough so the bowl of popcorn ended up in her hair and clothes.
That's when everything started, pillows were flying, the popcorn that was left were scattered, and only laugh's could be heard. In the end Cynthia found out who started it, and everyone was attacking Snow left and right.
When it ended, the girls hair was out of place, their beds wasn't were it was supposed to be and the bedsheets was mixed with each other.
They quickly just tidied up a little bit, making it at least look neat, before each of them drifted of to sleep, with a happy smile on their face
