digi-gal-rox: here's a story for y'all dick/babs fan out there!
"5!"
He watched her carefully as she happily talked to her friends. He watched her familiar smile, heard her familiar laughter as they joked. He missed being with her. He closed his eyes momentarily before opening them again. He turned away slightly, as his younger brother pulled him away.
"4!"
She turned around slightly, the moment her friend pointed something out. She watched him turn away, almost ashamed before being dragged away by a younger man. She let out a small laugh, before facing the window. She could feel the cold air emerging from it, but the warmth of the fire place seem to drown the cooled feeling away.
"3!"
He managed to pull away from the younger man, before making his way towards her. He had to set things right. He noticed that she was alone, gazing out the window. Waiting. He smiled to himself. He could just hear people humming a song, on top of the loud count down. Taking a deep breath he stepped forward.
"2!"
She could feel him approaching her. Part of her wanted to leave and disappear, but she couldn't. It was as if her whole body was paralyzed. He stood beside her starring out the window as well. She turned to face him slightly. He was taller than she remembered. She couldn't help but wonder what happened between them. Sighing, she turned to face
the window again.
"1!"
As if daring himself, he slowly moved towards her, taking her hand. He was expecting her to move away, but she didn't. She tightened the grip, still staring out the window. He stared at her, a familiar smile on his face, before returning his gaze out the window. This was something worth remembering.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
Fireworks flew into the sky, as cheers could be heard inside and out. He felt her lean against him, as the colours of lights flashed in the distance. He slowly moved his arm to her shoulder holding her tightly, as if to protect her. She looked at him and smiled, before going on her toes and kissed him on the cheek. He looked at her surprised,
before smiling gently at her. Yes, this was something worth remembering.
digi-gal-rox: Happy New Year!
