HAPPY NEW YEAR!
"10!"
Its going to be okay, soldier. They're not going to bother you any more after this. You will wish the usual New Year festivities, have one more drink…possibly a few more of those delicious fairy cakes…and then go home.
"9!"
But what if they won't let you? Huh…see if they can try! Bartowski wouldn't dare and neither would Walker if she had any sense. You're tired, Colonel…you and Walker have just had to spend over 48 hours trying to track down a terrorist. Bartowski just fell asleep in the car….damned moron.
"8!"
That bearded short-ass better not try anything either. He's had more than a few and that tends to make him a little bolder. Stupid grape soda.
"7!"
Casey, you're just going to have to go along with it just as you have with the rest of this party. Be polite as you know you can be and then make an excuse to leave. Leave hopefully before those idiots Jeff and Lester try again with their band, you didn't bring ear plugs this time. Perhaps an accidental gun malfunction may be in order? Who invited them anyway?!
"6!"
Okay…now you're getting hacked off. There are too many people here…some of them are those nice looking lady friends of Miss Bartowski, but they're so sappy and their high pitched squeals could burst eardrums! Another good reason to leave.
"5!"
Keep an eye on those fairy cakes, John. There's only a few of those treasures left and you're taking them for sure before that hairy hobbit does. Maybe a few more…for when you're doing the report for Beckman.
"4!"
They're all pairing up…oh hell no. Does everyone expect to kiss someone else when this countdown finishes? Not me. I'm going to stand in the most secluded corner of the room, away from everyone else and just smile and nod….that's it, smile and nod. Look as if you are having a nice time.
"3!"
Of course, the intersect had to snuggle up to blondie. The cover of boyfriend/girlfriend has to be maintained, but I can tell they aren't pretending. Ugh…its makes one sick having to see such slush!
"2!"
Almost there…thank god. Take a quick gulp…move out of sight of that man…or is it a woman…that's been trying to eye you up since you got here…and wait.
"1!
Huh? Someone is touching my shoulder! That does it! They're going to regret it!
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!"
Okay, so I didn't get to leave. I never managed to write up my report for General Beckman but at least I could say that t 2010 started well. Not as I had expected, but I wasn't going to complain.
"Most people just put a light peck on the cheek when they kiss on New years. You, sir…you took it a few steps further than that."
I smiled as the young, beautiful Eleanor Bartowski peeked out at me from under the covers and wrapped my arms around her waist. I was going to say that it was her who kissed me, rather suddenly after the countdown, but that look in her eye told me that I wouldn't win this argument. After all, I never let that wonderful kiss stop.
"You're not complaining are you, Miss Bartowski?" I asked. Ellie shook her head and coiled her legs around mine, stroking a foot tentatively up and down my shins. That flustered but pleased smile on her face was all I needed in reply, that and the kiss she planted on my mouth. It nearly made me lose control.
"Happy New Year, John." she whispered.
Oh yeah. Happy New Year, Ellie. It was going to be a hell of a good one.
END
Happy New Year to all your Jellie lovers! Sorry this is late…but I only thought of it this morning. Hope you all had a good one!!
