*Cough, slowly sliding New Years story in* Don't be mad at me, I've been super busy. Happy New Years!!
That small sense of anticipation, the wait. So close, yet so far. Drinks in hand, food already consumed, though some left over, we all eagerly watched the tv. I glanced towards the others, all sipping their drinks with their respective partners.
That's when I look at her. Her beauty. I can tell she notices me looking and I quickly look away back towards the tv, my finger tracing the edge of my bottle. I felt her hand on my hip move a little as she leans forwards resting her chin on my shoulder.
Another new year, can it really be? Time seemed to have gone by so fast, it's only been a few years since the end of our time at beacon. So fast.
I like fast... for certain things yes. But... with the world we all live in. Having it go by slow, with the ones you love and care about is something I rather enjoy.
I take another sip from the bottle letting the liquid pour down my throat. I try not to think too much about my worries. Because they usually tend to just worry me even more. I feel her lips give a quick kiss to my neck pulling me away from my thoughts.
I can hear everyone counting down, is it really that time yet?

I look towards her again, a small smile on her face.

She leans forward pulling me into a kiss.
"Happy New Years Ruby."
Why worry. The present is such a gift.
