"We're next. Are you ready?" Alex asked as he positioned himself next to the door.

He could not wait to show the world how proud he was to be escorting the most beautiful woman in the world. He could not ask for anyone better to be his partner tonight and hopefully the rest of his life.

His excitement for tonight had put him on edge for several days. Add the other things that happened to him. But tonight, he planned not to let those things ruined his plans to make Dani the happiest woman on the face of the planet.

"Definitely. Shall we get this show over with?" She playfully smiled at him, knowing that once they were out there, all eyes would be on them.

They might not be a celebrity, but they were famous for some other reason. In the eyes of the media and the world, they were the current talk of the town.. The prince and the princess of the multimillion business they owned.

She also remembered that she promised to help her friend, Jacky. She had to attract the crowd, indicating the media. To get their attention away from the other couple, meaning her.

"Let's go." He was the first out, smiling at the people who greeted him.

Then, he assisted her as the cameras turned their focus on them. Flashes after the other almost blinded them as photographers continued to take their pictures together. 

People shouting several questions about their personal lives, jobs, and especially their plans for marriage echoed in their ears. But they only maintained a smile on their faces, refusing to answer any of it.

That certainly distracted the reporters and paparazzi away from the first two who walked before them. But, Alex and Dani were both used to this, no harm done. All they had to do next was smile and model for the camera.

"Please, step over here." A man who guided them to the official photo booth instructed. 

They posed for the photographer as he took several pictures of them in several different styles. For their last one, Alex pulled Dani closer to him, and in one swift move, he had her in his arms, locked in a passionate kiss.

That certainly made the crowd wild as flashes lit the night sky. The reporters could not stop the questions from flowing out of their lips. But it soon stopped as the couple stood upright, smiled, and thanked everyone.

"What was that?" She asked Alex, pinching him in the arm, once they were out of the earshot of everyone and out of sight. 

She was astonished that he would steal a kiss like that in front of the press. She was not used to showing her emotions outside the confine of her privacy.

She certainly had not done anything like that before. She usually avoided too much display of affection in crowded places, not to attract unwanted publicity.

"You said to create a distraction." Alex defended himself as he reasoned his way of trouble from her.

But he could sense that it was not such a big deal. Alex and Dani were only bantering to see who would win in their latest argument. Something that they had been doing recently.

He enjoyed tinkering with her mind, finding what made her tick. At the same time, the things that could easily make her smile. It would seem that she was also doing the same thing as they both learned their tiny tell-tale signs.

"Well, it was supposed to be for Jacky, but they were long gone. If you did not notice." She reminded and told him.

She could remember that by the time they stood in the booth. Lance and Jacky were already inside the building. So, technically they never did need the distraction.

"Oh, I did notice. But I wanted to do it anyway." He tickled her back on her waistline. 

But he did notice that the other couple was gone. He just really liked to show the world that Dani was all his. It felt so great to be standing right next to her, kissing her for all the world to see. 

"You did." She looked at him with a widened eye and a slightly agape mouth, disbelieving what she just heard from him. "Are you sure you are ok?" She jested as she touched his forehead.

What happened to his very conservative man, who always did things by the book? He was indeed acting a bit strange lately. But she always blamed it on the stress of these last couple of weeks.

Even she felt that ever since they announced their engagement, things had been chaotic. It never relented as time went by. In truth, she believed it worsened as they declared their feelings for each other. Or maybe it was just a coincidence. 

"Yes. This gown should be illegal because you are making me do things I don't usually do." He whispered in her ears.

The sensation of his voice, followed by the breathy air that tickled her ears, was enough to send another electric shock in her body. If she was not turned on earlier by that kiss, she was craving for him now more than ever.

"But I love this dress." She protested, not wanting him to blame the dress for their kiss.

She might not expect it and might have been a bit shock by it. But she was not discounting the fact that she loved the feeling of those lips against hers and the way he devoured her mouth.

In truth, she wanted more, and she intended to get more later. At the moment, she had to control herself and concentrate on the present matter. 

"I know." He retorted back with a satisfied smile, winking at her. "And there is nothing more I would like to do..." Alex stopped as he lowered his head again, next to her ears. 

"...than to tear it out of your body after this party is through." He continued and moved his fingers seductively on her waist again to make his point. 

Even if they need not act as a distraction for Jacky, he believed that he would still have done the same thing as what he did. He would still kiss her because that was what he yearned to do since she opened her door at her apartment. 

If this event were only not insignificant for both of their causes, he would have ditched it and just stayed in her apartment with her. He would like to lie on the bed with her rather than be left contented at staring at her.

"I'm looking forward to it." She finally whispered back before focusing her eyes on the couple, waiting for them.

All they shared earlier was a short peck on the lips because they were in a hurry. Plus, they did not want to make it more awkward for Lance and Jacky.

Until now, she was clueless about what was happening to Lance and Jacky. She felt they were a good match. But she was not an authority to be an expert on such matter.

She tried to ask Alex about it, but he said he also had no idea how Lance felt about her. Since they never talked much about it. Besides, he never did interfere with someone else life unless it was a life or death condition.
