Since i am taking a break from writing about the different characters in Ash's life i decided to give u guys a break and work on her Birthday party that never happened.
_____________________________________________________________________________________Grams advice and getting ready
My 21st birthday party was held 3 weeks after the actual date since it was so hard to get everybody together. Since it was late my dad decided to hold a masquerade ball. Only the best for his little flower and also to out show his brothers. So with plans underway for this ball i just hoped that there were no slimy characters my father was planning to introduce me too. I could do with a break and after all it was my 21st birthday bash and i was allowed to enjoy it.
So as the day dawned all my sisters, sisters-in-law and cousins were making the last minute preparations while grams and i enjoyed the day at a spa. At the spa we got facials. manicures, pedicures and mud baths. At the spa Grams and i were chatting about the husband hunt. I told her what had been going on and she found it quite hilarious the way i spoke about the different characters.
"Honey I hope you become the first granddaughter of mine to celebrate her 22nd birthday a spinster. Your Gramps and his sons still live in the 16th century... I want you to fall in love get to know your partner before actually marrying him. That way you know he won't turn out to be a chauvinist like your gramps.!
"Grams!" I was shocked... Grams was actually on my side... I never knew she felt so strongly about this custom. I was so happy. It was like Christmas having got exactly what i wanted. With Grams on my side i could conquer the world. As we got buffed and shined grams and I talked about what i wanted to do in my life. Finally at 4pm grams and i were ready to leave and made our way to the hotel where my ball was being held. I wasn't allowed to peak into the ballroom so i made my way to my room. There i stood and looked at the shimmering blue ball gown. Simple and elegant yet very eye catching. My mask was blue and silver with feather on the sides. I had opted for one with a band so i wouldn't have to keep holding it up. As i waited for time to pass i thought about what grams had said. would I ever find the one guy who would love me? So far all i could see in my future was characters like the one i had met. As i started to get ready i thought about the elaborate schemes my family had thought up for tonight. My main mission was to get through tonight unscathed. i applied minimal make up and then put on my dress. I truly felt like Cinderella going to a ball but i know tonight i would not meet my prince charming. I quickly checked my appearance in the mirror put on my blue stiletto heels and made my way to the door when suddenly there was a knock
