I walk into the gala and I start to feel my nerves come back after seeing so many people. This was my first time being out in a public event after that whole crazy news thing with Ace being back... and I was scared. Will people find it odd that I came alone, and wasn't with Ace? Maybe-
To be honest, I didn't want to care at this point so I shake my head from these negative thoughts and walk into the room. I notice a few eyes land on me and stop to talk to a few people I knew.
I find David talking to a few people and make my way over there to say hi
"Mr. Zay, looking fine as ever" I greet and give him a hug
"Wow Alex, you look magnificent" he says looking up and down at my yellow dress
"Thank you" I smile
"Did you arrive alone? Where's Ace?" he asks
"Ya I did. I'm not sure, he said he'll come" I say and clear my throat when I see a lady walk up to us
"Mrs. Anderson? Pleasure to meet you, My name is Rachel and I've been organizing tonight's event. Please come with me so we can discuss when you will be giving your speech and other details"
"For sure! If you'll excuse me" I say to David before following the lady
She goes through the schedule and tells me I will be giving my speech very shortly. She also goes through the fashion show schedule, what time I should go upstairs to change into this special piece that I will be wearing for the charity auction. After she explains everything, she tells me it's time to give my speech. I was so nervous, this speech was going to be broadcasted live on tv too, so I was really scared and I also hated speeches. But here goes nothing....
Ace's POV
I walk in through the doors and the first thing I hear is Alexandra's voice, filling the room. I look up and notice everyone listening to her as she delivered her speech on stage.
She looked... she looked truly stunning in that beautiful yellow dress. Her speech was also very moving, speaking about girl's education all around the world, as an ambassador. I knew how nervous and still new all of this was to her but she was doing a great job, and was speaking from the heart.
"...To all the strong and determined young girls out there, I know how hard it is to get up every morning and go to school. I know how difficult it is to study when you need to help out at home, not everyone is fortunate as others. But if you put your mind and heart into it, you can achieve anything..." her words start to mute as the only thing I could focus on, was her shinning in the light
"...and lastly, always listen to your heart. I don't know everything there is to this world, but one thing I am very certain of, is always receiving correct answers that come from our heart. That comes from love" Her eyes meet mine when she finally sees me and it feels like we were both frozen in time. After a few seconds, she looks down and says a small 'thank you' before getting of stage
