A thief in the night stole the princess

My belongings were already starched away by a brick archway outside the grey castle stone walls on a brown carriage that carries loads for food and drink. If I was to escape successfully I would need to take the wooding door on the left corner of the room leading to the toilets. It won't be long till they notice the fire that I started by lighting a match on the curtains in the kitchen. Everyone is distracted. Here is my chance, I act like I am dancing on my own and Waltz all the way to the corner of the room as a hand grabs me on my waist from the side. "Hi" a baritoned honey like voice says. I look up and a handsome caramel skinned lad looks down on me, his face chiselled and well defined. His brown eyes stare into mine as if he is reading my soul. Before I get a word in he is called by his mum across the room "Sorry I have to go" he touches his curly black hair and walks quickly towards the young looking woman wearing a pink dress across the room the only age you see is in her eyes. I didn't quite hear his name. His mum called Edwin or Erin, I'm not sure but no time for that. So I half ran, half waltz towards the door at the left corner of the room. "Fire" shouts one of the waiters. The two guards at the wooden door quickly moved away from it towards the loud noise. "Yes it's working" I scream in my mind. I act like I need the ladies room and gently open the door as to make no sound. Everybody was already distracted by the fire and dancing no one noticed me anymore. A dark hall way leading to the outside was standing in the way of me and freedom. I ran pacing from the ladies room and gents room before reaching the door when I heard a screeching sound coming from the door I had just left because it was dark I just held my breath and just hoped. I heard the same low honey like voice say "I saw you walk here. I saw the carriage outside. So I put two and two together. I also don't want to be here can I follow you on your travels' he suggests sternly. "How did you know I wanted to escape?" I ask as quietly as possible. "There are no other carriages outside". Oh I didn't think of that. I think to myself. "Okey you can come" I breathe out. I don't know this person. He is a complete stranger, yet in my heart I feel I can trust him, almost safe even. I wear my hood and open the door. I didn't know when he got so close to me but now in the moonlight I could see his features "Okay" he says with his face so close to mine that his breath touched my lips. My dark caramel skin blushed. He noticed our close proximity and blushed too.
