**This will switch back and forth from Iris' POV to Miles' POV**
(End of "The Holiday", Graham's home. New Year's Eve Starts from the shot of Olivia's feet as they come down the stairs)
_Iris POV_
I picked up Olivia as she hit the last step. I twirled her around as she laughed. I really missed my nieces during Christmas. I wasn't alone though, and I knew I would see them for New Years.
I smiled at her as I said "Oh my god. You look like the angel at the top of the Christmas tree. Now give me a kiss." I gave her a kiss on her cheek as she did the same to me.
She wrapped her legs around me as I carried her to the living room.
"Come and tell me all about your Christmas presents". I put her down once we got there so she could sit over on the couch with Sophie. I couldn't help but laugh as I put her down and said,
"Here. Go sit with Miles."
She ran to the spot next to Sophie and listened to what Miles was saying. I grabbed the two glasses of champagne on top of the fireplace. I look at Miles as he was giving what seemed to be a very animated story to the girls. He is so good with them and that makes me so glad. Jasper never got along with children. Imagine if I did run away with Jasper. He not liking children would have been a problem if it meant he couldn't get along with my nieces.
Miles on the other hand is amazing with children. I don't think he knows how attractive that is to me. Sophie and Olivia love him. Sophie pointed at me form her spot on the couch and Miles turned to look at me.
He smiled and said, "Sweetie".
I walked toward him with both the champagne glasses in hand. I sat next to him on the couch just as Olivia jumped in front of me. Miles and Olivia are telling me about the story he was just telling the girls as Amanda came over with a plate of food and put it in front of us. I clinked my glass with Miles then got up to talk to Amanda about our men
_Miles POV_
I see Iris get up to hug Amanda and start to girl talk. At first they were looking at each other and I can see that they're talking about Graham but then they divert their attention to me. I see that they are both smiling and I know their talking about me so I guess that's a good thing. They are both talking in hushed tones and their faces are close together.
That goes on for about 5 seconds then Iris walks over to her brother as Amanda comes up to me so we can clink our champagne glasses together. I look over to Iris and she has her head leaning against Graham's shoulder laughing. She looks really happy. I decide to be silly and walk next too Amanda dancing and say,
"I challenge thee"
She accepts and says, "Me?"
We start dancing silly as Iris starts to dance with her brother. Amanda and I bump our hips together and she's laughing hysterically. She stops and goes over to Graham and Iris comes to me. When she smiles at me, nothing matters but her. I wrap my arms around her waist as she wraps hers around my neck.
She's a little taller than me in her heels but I still got this. We are dancing in a circle and she has her hand stroking the side of my face as I tell her,
"Your family is awesome. Did I tell you that yet?"
She laughs even though I act like it's no big deal, internally I dance in happiness because I love her laugh.
_Iris POV_
He always knows how to make me laugh. I really love that about him. I think he's made me smile more in these 2 weeks I've known him then the whole 3 years I was in love with Jasper. Miles makes me feel more wanted and treasured then Jasper ever did.
I pull him closer and were dancing cheek to cheek. He whispers in my ear,
"You look amazing tonight, in case you didn't know. And I'm so glad I came here with you."
I smile again and hold him close as we dance in our own little world.
Amanda pulls us out of our world by announcing that,
"We have to bring in the New Year with a dance train."
Miles and I let go of each other and we all start dancing around the coffee table.
As Miles and Amanda shout out a "Happy New Year!" I realize how it is really a totally new year for me. In more ways than one. This is also the first 'happy' New Years I've had in 3 years.
We keep dancing but then I remember that I only have one more day on holiday till I have to go back to work. And Miles has to go back to L.A.
I stop for a second as I realize this. Graham asks me,
"Iris, is something the matter?"
I look at him and put on a fake smile because I don't want to ruin the party vibe and say,
"I'm fine. I just remembered something I had to do before going back to work is all."
He looks like he doesn't believe me but doesn't bother me about it and we keep dancing.
