THE GOD GAMES: Heaven & Hell...Chapter 9...
The next building we came to, was a large, rectangular building with a Turquoise roof. In large gold letters over the entrance was a sign that said, House of Relationships. Glenna opened the door and we entered a large entry hall.
A huge archway had a sign above it that said, "The Heaven on Earth Ball." We could hear the music of a Chopin Polonaise. The windows along the sides of the entry hall were covered with white satin drapes. There were signs leading the way to both male and female dressing rooms.
I glanced over to Glenna where she was speaking to a hostess, and when she had finished, she told me to come with her for a great surprise. We walked down to the dressing room that had the name "Ann" on it, and entered the room.
Inside the dressing room was a mannequin wearing a beautiful red velvet ball gown.
"This is your ball gown, and you are about to go to a very special dance. During this dance you will be meeting several men who would like to have a relationship with you in your new life game. You may accept, reject, or not-consider-until-later any or all of their proposals. You will have a grand time, so remember to just relax and let the spirit lead you, as you enjoy the dance," said Glenna.
With that said, Glenna helped me into the red velvet gown that had little golden bells around the hem. My shoes were covered in red velvet with diamond studs glittering in a lovely flower pattern. There was a diamond necklace at my throat, diamond drop earrings, a diamond bracelet on my left wrist, and a diamond and ruby ring on my right hand. Glenna fixed my hair and we were all ready for a night on the town.
When we were dressed, we went out into the entry hall again, and stepped into the ballroom itself. There were crystal chandeliers in a star pattern across the ceiling of the room. Red velvet curtains hung at all the windows; everywhere were immense bouquets of red and white roses. The tables were round and covered in white linen; crystal goblets, silver service, and white linen napkins adorned each table. We found a table with our names on it and found that we would be joined by three other women and their guides.
We took our seats and took in all of the beautiful sights, and listened closely to the Chopin that the large orchestra was playing.
There seemed to be several hundred people at the Ball, and as we all sat at all of our tables, several young men came by and signed the dance cards of the women they wanted to dance with. Eight young men, including Charles Albert, came and signed my card and asked me to dance with them, one of the men signed, "I am a surprise," but no Ed appeared. I responded that I would gladly dance with them.
Waiters came by with china plates to use for the buffet, filled our goblets with water, and made sure that we had all that we needed.
There was a fountain of wine, and one of pomegranate juice; there was also a huge bowl of punch. On the buffet table, which was thirty feet long, were all kinds of fruits and vegetables cut into little flowers and little animals. There were immense trays of breads and cheeses, and many types of dips and sauces. There were two large bowls of mixed nuts and trays of rich, dark chocolate. A huge cake stood in the middle of the table festooned in red and white roses, and crystal ornaments. At the end of each side of the buffet table were ice sculptures of Cupid with his bows and arrows.
It was all so beautiful that it took your breath away.
When the waiters had finished serving us, we all got up and made our way to the buffet table where we filled our plates with the abundant food. I also stopped at the wine fountain and filled my goblet.
The ladies at our table began to tell us of their experiences in planning their new life games. Everyone seemed content with the choices they had made so far.
After dinner, the noise level in the room quieted down, and the orchestra began playing Strauss waltzes. We all looked around and wondered what would happen next. Then a tall, large young man with blonde hair and blue eyes came up to me and said he had the first dance, and would I dance with him.
He helped me with my chair and soon I was waltzing in his arms. He said that his name was Herbert and that he would like to be my boyfriend during Junior and Senior High Schools. He promised me that he would always be honorable and protect my virtue for those five years. Something about the gallantry in his eyes moved me very much. I felt that I could trust him implicitly. I reached up and kissed his cheek, and told him that I would be honored to have him as a steady boyfriend for our Junior and Senior years of High School. He told me I had made him very happy, and then escorted me back to my table.
Tomorrow, more men come out of the woodwork to dance with me. Is HE the one??...
