Firsts – Just a little idea that popped into my head on New Year's Eve. Happy Holidays!
Lindsay Monroe couldn't believe where she was.
She was standing in the middle of Times Square with her friends/coworkers and most importantly, her fiancé.
It was her first time not seeing the New Year's ball on television and although the recent storm that had passed through New York left the city cold with frigid temperatures, this was all worth it.
…
Lindsay received her first kiss in fifth grade on Valentine's Day from her not-so-secret crush.
She had her first boyfriend when she was in tenth grade that also happened to be her neighbor. Their relationship lasted two years.
He was also her first prom date and her first.
A couple weeks later at graduation, she also had her first break-up.
Her first love was an older boy she'd met at college but it only lasted for a month before her first heartache.
Her first fiancé, however, stuck.
She wanted him to the one she wanted to have her first child with. (Maybe even more than just that first one.) She wanted him to be the one they'd get to spoil their first grandchild with.
His name was Danny Messer and she couldn't have asked for a more perfect man.
He was going to be the first and only husband she would ever have.
…
"3…2…1…Happy New Year!" Shouts and cheers erupted around her as the ball dropped. She couldn't believe that it was 2008. Just two years ago, she'd flown to New York, accidentally called her boss 'Sir' when he didn't want to be, and became the victim of hazing and jokes of the lab's resident troublemaker.
Now, what was even more unbelievable was that she was actually marrying that troublemaker.
"Happy New Year, Montana," Danny whispered in her ear as he pulled her into a tight hug. He dropped an affectionate kiss to her lips and smiled. "You excited for the new year?"
She shook her head, "No, I'm more excited that I'll be spending every part of it with you."
He pressed another kiss again to her lips. It was quick, partly because their boss was standing a couple feet away from them, but it was romantic all the same. "Same here. Same here."
