New Years
Sydney POV
It's New Year's Eve, and I have to help Adrian clean his apartment so he can set up a party for the midnight countdown. He is planning to buy alcohol, and food for his guests which is only me, Jill, Eddie, and Angeline. He also plans on getting me drunk, but he's probably saying that because he's possibly drunk already. There is no way that I am going to drink. I'm supposed to be the responsible one, and the one that takes care of everyone. But I think Adrian is the only one that is planning to get drunk, and possibly Angeline. There is no way that I am allowing Jill to drink since she is underage, and I know for a fact that Eddie wouldn't drink one sip of alcohol while he is protecting Jill.
"C'mon Sage, it won't be fun if I'm the only one drinking," Adrian whined, but I just shrugged my shoulders.
"Then don't drink," I pointed out, "and you might have Angeline as partner drinking partner." Adrian winced at that observation and thought for awhile.
"No she won't, Angeline is a guardian so she can't drink while she is on duty," he stated, obviously smug at his own observation.
"Yeah, like that will stop her," I muttered. I know I'm underestimating Angeline, but sometimes she does things that always gets her into trouble.
"Please Sage, pretty please! I'll beg you! I will drop down onto my knees and beg you to get drunk with me," he begged me, while holding my hands between his.
" If you kneel then maybe I'll have one sip of alcohol, maybe," I emphasized. He looked hesitant, knowing that I wouldn't even drink even a sip.
"No you wouldn't Sage, your lying. Your just saying that to get me off your back, but I will keep bugging you about this until you agree on drinking just a little bit," he grinned at me as though he thinks I'm going to give in at some point. I shook my head at him.
"Why do you want me to get drunk so badly?" I asked. He gave me his crooked smile that always made my heart flutter.
"Because," he put his arms around my waist and pulled me towards him, and gave me a passionate peck, " I want to see that bad side of Sydney Sage." He gave me a seductive smile and winked at me.
" You are unbelievable! You want to see my bad side? Well, my bad side is wrapped by vampire arms and kissing him," I laughed. I kissed him again, a passionate one, but all my kisses with Adrian are always passionate. I looked into his eyes and tried to turn flirty, "You know, I don't think I want to kiss a drunk guy at midnight," I winked at him and he laughed.
"Oh Sage, you and I both know that we will kiss no matter what condition we are in at midnight. It's one of the rules in the couplebook," he grinned at me, "and now that we're technically a couple, then you have to kiss me whether I'm drunk or not, and I will kiss you even if you are drunk." I laughed at the fact that I know there is no such thing as a couplebook.
"Really? And where is this couplebook?" I asked, and he then pointed to his head, which made me laugh even more.
"Your so cute when you laugh," he said as he kissed me. I was lost in that kiss until I heard my phone ring. It was Jill asking me if there is a party at Adrian's. After I was finished talking to Jill, I looked back at Adrian who was watching me intently.
"What?" I asked curiously. Was there something on my face? He shook his head.
"Nothing," he smiled. Man, I hate when he does this, I always ask him if something is wrong and then he would deny it when I know something is up.
"Tell me," I begged, "please?" he laughed at my pouty face.
"I will tell you, I promise," he said.
" When?" I whined.
"At midnight," he smiled adoringly at me.
"Fine," I pouted immaturely. And then laughed at my ridiculous behavior.
"Okay I have to go back to my dorm and get ready for the party," I stated. Now it was his turn to pout. I laughed and gave him one last kiss before I leave.
As I entered my room, Jill and Angeline are already there with dresses on the bed, and makeup on my desk. They smiled at me as I walked into the room. I knew they wanted something from me, but how did they get into my room?
"How did you get in my room, and I know you want something from me so spit it out," I demanded and folded my arms over my chest. Angeline's smile widened and Jill's smile turned soft and innocent.
"We will only tell you if you agree to our plan," they bribed. I shook my head.
"Nope. No way. I know that your plan would include nothing for me," I stated.
"Yes it will, you will look so pretty for Adrian!" Angeline yelled and then quickly covered her mouth. Jill put her hands over her face, frustrated at Angeline's outburst.
"Ah-ha! You guys were planning on making me your doll!" I yelled, happy that I know their plan now, but I knew they would do this. They always picked my clothes, and do my make-up and hair for special occasions; I honestly liked it when they did that for me. They both groaned, and my expression softened.
"Okay, you guys can doll me up, but not too much, deal?" I said. And with at they both jumped up and hugged me, and I hugged them back even though I could've been sent to re-education for that. But I didn't care anymore because the 'Melrose family' really does feel like my real family.
"Yay! Let's get started so were not late!" Jill said excitedly.
Jill did my make-up while Angeline did my hair. As I looked up to see Angeline I saw that she was frowning and stopped talking for awhile.
"Angeline, what wrong?" I asked. She shrugged and shook her head.
" It's okay Angeline, you can tell us," Jill said softly. Angeline looked at us and hesitated for a while before replying.
"It's just that when Trey was tutoring me for math, I asked him what he is doing for New Years and he said that he wasn't doing anything but staying at his house by himself because his family left him for vacation because he had school. So I just feel really bad for him." Angeline confessed. She looked really sincere, so I told her that she should invite him to the party. Her expression lit up.
"Really?" she asked. I was happy that she feels better.
"Of course, Trey is a friend of ours. And New Year's isn't supposed to be spent alone," I stated. Once Angeline finished my hair, she went to go invite Trey and get ready. Jill finished my make-up and told me to slip on the dress she and Angeline picked out. It looked casual but looked fancy at the same time. It was lacey, and it had a color of pastel pink. One sleeve was long, and the other was an open shoulder that made it look a bit too risky for me. Jill wouldn't let me change the dress, so I just slipped it on and looked at myself in the mirror. If fits me perfectly , it hugged my curves in all the right places and it didn't show a lot of skin like I thought it would. Jill added gold assesories on me, and went back to her dorm to get ready. We decided to meet everyone at Latte once were finished getting ready.
I walked down to the car with Angleine and Jill, Angeline wore a maroon high-low dress and Jill wore a mid-thigh dress that had an off-the-shoulder sleeve like mine but hers was short-sleeved. As we walked over to Latte, Eddie and Trey were already there waiting for us. I looked at Eddie and he was staring at Jill with awe, and then I looked at Trey and he wore the same expression as Eddie except he was looking at Angeline. They greeted us and we all got in the car and set off to Adrian's apartment. I really hoped he like my dress.
We walked to Adrian's door and I walked behind them, wanting Adrian to see me last. As he opened the door, he greeted everyone and when he greeted me he stopped. He looked at me from head to toe, that made me feel insecure. Did he like it? A few awkward seconds past when he finally shook his head.
"Sage, you are too damn hot for your own good," he stated. I blushed at his words. I'm glad he liked it. I kissed him for a greeting, but it was a lot longer than I thought-which was completely fine with me. Our kiss was finally interrupted by someone who cleared their throat. It was Trey. He gave us an awkward smile that turned into a grin.
"So, uhhh, where's the alcohol?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and Adrian grinned.
"Awesome! I have a drinking buddy!" they high-fived. And Adrian looked back at me.
"But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop bugging you," he winked. Unbelievable, I scoffed at him and walked into the kitchen to grab a diet coke.
It's 11:55 and Trey is the only drunk one, surprisingly, Adrian had a couple of glasses of champagne but he wasn't drunk...yet. We played half a game of monopoly –we didn't get to finish-because Trey got angry for losing so he tipped the board over on "accident." Luckily , no body got mad at Trey. Everyone, actually, laughed at his drunk ness. I think this is the first time I've seen everyone so happy and carefree, and this is probably the best New Years I have celebrated. Although, I do miss my family, but I'm sure that everyone else does too.
It's thirty seconds away from midnight. We are all now standing up and counting down with the T.V., we're all screaming and jumping for the ten second countdown...

THREE- Adrian and I look at each other.
TWO- He holds my face in his hands.
ONE- He confesses, "I love you, Sage." My heart flutters. That's what he wanted to tell me!
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Everyone screamed and jumped, but the only person I see is Adrian. I closed the gap between us and kiss him with as much love as I can. He kisses me back with the same amount of passion, but I break our kiss. Our foreheads were touching and we were breathing hard. I looked into his beautiful emeral eyes.
"I love you too much, Adrian Ivashkov."
