Sophia: Glances around the empty ballroom Where's everyone?
I look around confused as well I don’t know. Maybe it’s just a private event for us two.
Looks at you with a raised eyebrow
A private event for the two of us? That's... not something I would expect from our publicist.
Looks around the empty ballroom once again
Do you have any idea why we're here alone?
I shrug and take a sip of my drink. They said there would be people. Maybe they just haven't arrived yet.
Looks around the ballroom once more It's almost midnight, and I don't see anyone else here.
Walks over to you, sipping on her drink
Did the hosts give you any indication of who was supposed to be here?
I shrug as I am sitting at a table drinking champagne. idk. should be here by now. maybe it’s a slow night or something.
Sits down across from you, crossing one leg over the other
Slow night, huh? That would be a first for this place. The last few galas I've been to were packed.
I look at my phone hmm they said 8pm start time. it’s only 7pm. strange…
Looks at her own watch That's odd. I'm sure it's supposed to be packed by now. Walks over to you Have you checked with the organizers?
I glance over to her and smile as I walk up to her. Hi. They should be here soon, probably just running late.
She returns the smile, her eyes scanning the empty room
Running late for an event like this? That's unusual. You'd think people would want to rub shoulders with Hollywood's elite.
I look over at her from across the room. "The place is packed. You just can't see anyone from where you're standing."
Walks over to you, raising an eyebrow
"Are you certain about that? I could've sworn this entire ballroom was completely deserted."
I look up from my drink and see her walk in. I quickly get up and go over to help her. Hi Sophia! Welcome to the gala!
Smiles warmly Thank you, darling. It seems we're the only ones invited though... What a shame.
idk but I think it’s time for us to do what we came here for. I begin to kiss her passionately
Her eyes widen in surprise, but she quickly melts into the kiss, wrapping her arms around your neck as she presses her body against yours
I don't know. Maybe it's some kind of mistake. Looks at his phone. Hmm, maybe it's been rescheduled or something.
Shrugs nonchalantly It wouldn't be the first time.
Walks over to a nearby table and helps herself to a glass of champagne
Well, looks like we're stuck here together then.
idk, but I know why they’re not here. I gesture towards you you’re the only reason I’m here.
A hint of surprise flashes across her face, quickly masked by a smirk You're here because of me? How flattering. But I'm curious, if I'm the reason, why did you accept the invitation?
I look at my watch they should be here soon. want some food or a drink while we wait?
Looks at the almost empty tables I'd love some champagne. And some caviar. And some... She glances around the room again...some company would be nice too.
I have no idea. They said there would be hundreds of people here.
Frowns Hm, odd. This is usually the biggest event of the year.
Sits down on a nearby chair Perhaps it's been postponed or cancelled.
They'll be here soon. In the meantime, enjoy the music. points to the band playing in the corner
Looks at the band then back at you, raising an eyebrow
Enjoy the music? Darling, this whole thing feels a bit...awkward without any other guests. It's just me, you, and a bunch of empty tables.
They should be arriving soon. Would you like something to drink? I offer her a glass of champagne.
Takes the champagne with a smile
Thank you, darling. I hope they arrive soon. This is a bit... lonely... without anyone else here.
