TEN…

He watches as she places the empty glass on the closest table, her fingers playing with the stem of the glass. Painted nails trailing down its length, before sliding across the table's surface, falling to the red fabric of her dress.

NINE…

He notices she seems to be looking for someone amongst the crowd. Eyes scanning each face quickly, before moving on to the next. He only notices her.

EIGHT…

He watches as she glances around the room before her dark eyes settle on his. She smiles and he smiles back.

SEVEN…

He forces the smile to remain when a man with blue eyes slips his arm around her waist. She looks at the man's face, and he smiles brightly at her. His smile isn't as bright as hers.

SIX…

He lets his smile fade as she leans into Mr. Blue Eye's side.

FIVE…

He sets his drink down, feeling as the liquid sloshes over the side of the glass and onto his fingers. He doesn't look at the glass, his eyes never leave her.

FOUR…

He prepares himself, knowing what will happen soon. He sees her smile again, this time not at him.

THREE…

He imagines what it would feel like to hold her in his arms, to feel her lips on his, her breath on his skin.

TWO…

He turns to leave. He doesn't want to be here anymore. She was the only reason he had agreed to come. She just didn't know it.

ONE…

He hears someone call out a warning, "Reid you're gonna miss it!" He keeps walking, he doesn't care. He knows exactly what he was missing.

Midnight…

He hears the chorus of "Happy New Year" as he pushes through the crowd, trying to ignore the couples celebrating the stroke of midnight in the usual way.

A/N: Okay, so what do you think? I think they call this a drabble (correct me if I'm wrong), I'm still new to FanFiction. Please review.
