She'd done it again. Talked him into something so ridiculous it was making his head spin, literally. Chrissie and Ivan's flat was choc-a-block with people, he barely had room to turn let alone lift his arm to drink. He wasn't surprised at the whole affair, it had Chrissie written all over it but he wished he could be somewhere else, somewhere quiet. Seeing a small path form he made a dash for the back garden.
Taking deep breaths he took in the much missed fresh air. Chrissie had asked Maria to come along with her 'little mates' and have a bit of fun but it seemed once more people showed up the three had found her occasional room and when Alan last checked, about an hour ago, they were playing cards. He walked the short length of the garden and leaned against the fence it wasn't a bad view.
As he headed back to the flat he heard the side gate swing shut.
"Sneaking in the back, eh?" He joked knowing exactly who it was.
"Would I do it any other way?" She smiled back at him "I have a son and his three friends plus a lanky young man who needs rescuing from this circus, couldn't tell me where they are?" She asked him mockingly looking around.
"Teenagers are playing cards I think and I'm NOT lanky just tall. Sarah Jane let's hurry up." He took her hand determined not to loose her when they went back in, he dragged her in before she could answer.
They were in, well halfway in when three teenagers literally ran into them.
"Thank god we found you dad, let's just go!" Maria hugged her dad as she led the boys out, Clyde nudging him with a wink, his hand still clutching Sarah Jane's. It was over, almost. Just as they reached the garden doorway the countdown began people run to the garden jSarah Jane and Alan pushed out with the current but managing to stay together.
"3...2...1...Happy New Year!" The crowd chorused as the local Fireworks exploded overhead. Out the corner of his eye he saw Chrissie, she had been all over him having fought with Ivan earlier, he grabbed Sarah Jane pulling her tiny frame flush against him and lowered his head before kissing her.
"Dad!"
"Mum!"
"Sarah-Jane, Mr Jackson!" The teenagers shouted from their spot by the gate it was no use, and then as if by magic the crowd began to separate and there stood the two people they had been in desperate need to find, locked in an embrace that blocked out everything. Maria stared shocked, Luke was confused, Clyde was well somewhere between smug and disgusted, but that's normally how he hid his happiness, through his humour.
"Is that a good thing?" Luke asked breaking the stunned silence, the frustrated groans of his friends were the only reply.
"I'm sorry I did that it's just well Chrissie was heading this way...and she's been all over me...well you were..." Alan stumbled over his words when they separated, his arm still firmly around her waist.
"It's fine but don't tell your mother, aren't I almost the same age as her?" She brushed off his apology with a joke.
"No, my mother was born in 45, you were born...in a classified year that I will never ever repeated out loud" he corrected himself as she glared atI'm him. "Anyway...you...erm, look a lot better than my mother. Really great kisser" he mumbled suddenly loosing his nerve to compliment her.
"Thank you, I think. However we should probably go and get the kids home and..."
"Watch a movie, just us two maybe..." He finished her sentence but came at loss for his own.
"I'll show what else my tongue can do" she winked almost skipping over to the still stunned teenagers by the gate. Oh this year was definitely going to be a good one.
