New Year's Eve. The one day Stevie dreaded. It's not that she hated the new year, It was the kissing part. She found it stupid to kiss someone just because it's going to be the same thing with just a New Year and there was definitely not a need to kiss. But of course Zander Robbins had stepped into the picture and as he found out that his beautiful girlfriend hated this day and the only thing he tried to do was change it.
"Steves please?C'mon you have to go, Kacey wants us there." He pleaded as he followed her around the house.
"Zander I said no and that's final. Besides all you get at Kacey's parties are stupid under aged kids who spike the drinks to have girls kiss them at midnight or try to do worse than that." She rebuttled climbing into bed.
"But Steviekins she's your friend and I promised her we'd be there." Zander whined as he sat on top of her.
"I'm not stopping you from going." She retorted receiving an eye roll from Zander.
"But I want you there. I want to be the one to kiss you, not have crazy girls try to kiss me." He cried as he placed his head near her neck.
"Z stop being such a baby." She pushed him back up but he fell back down.
"I'm not being a baby, baby." He muffled.
"Then go to the party. Just tell Kace I was sick or something." Stevie grabbed the remote turning on the tv and started flipping through channel's.
"I'm not going anymore." He said like a 5 year old would.
"Then what are you gonna do?" She asked.
"Stay here and.." He rose up, a giant grin on his face.
"Oh please no. Don't you dare. I will kill you." She tried to push his off but he was too heavy. Raising his hand Stevie started screaming.
"Zander no, please don't. Zander!" She shrieked as his hands met her side's and began tickling her.
"Zan-Zander. Stop. It!" She manages to choke out between laughs.
"Go to the party!" He yelled.
"N-No!Please!" She tried. Stopping he looked at her as her laughter died down.
"Why?" He asked.
"Because. I just want to stay home Z. Please, don't want to go out there." She said grabbing his hands.
"Okay. We won't go. We have the house to ourselves so it's just me and you." He smiled at his girlfriend and pulled her towards him.
"Let's live life and dance around." He whispered. Her eyes lit up and they both got out of bed running downstairs. Turning on the radio, The Killers blasted throughout the house as the two laughed.
"Jealousy, turning saints into the sea, swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your allibies, but it's just a price I pay, Destiny is calling me open up my eager eyes, cause I'm Mr. Bright side!" Zander sang which made Stevie burst into laughter.
"You see now this is a party!" He yelled while dancing around the livingroom.
C'mon Steves dance with me." He pulled her crossed hands and started twirling her in circles.
"Why am I dating you?" She joked as he moved her from side to side.
"Beause you LOOVVEE me!" He shouted and threw her over his shoulder causing her to let a sound of laughter come out.
"You know in all my years, I've never heard my daughter laugh that way." A voice said causing both Zander and Stevie to freeze. Turning around, Zander faced Stevie's parents, their arms crossed and amused expressions on their face. Stevie hit Zander, as he got the memo and placed her back on the floor.
"Hi mom, hi dad." She said walking over to the radio and turning it down a bit.
"Who's this?" They asked at the same time.
"They don't know about me?" Zander whispered.
"Well the topic never came up." She mumbled.
"Hi Mr and Mrs. Baskara. I'm Zander, Zander Robbins." Hey held his hand out but slowly pulled it back when not one of them moved.
"Stevie can we talk to you?" Her mom asked which made Zander panic a bit.
"Yeah. I'll be back I promise, don't freak out." She whispered as she followed both parents. Hearing shrieks of what seemed excitement was heard from the kitchen, making Zander furrow his eyebrow. Steve's dad soon walked in again, looking at the boy up and down before smiling.
"Listen Zander, I'm just gonna tell you what all dad's tell their daughter's boyfriends. Hurt her and I'll kill you." His face changed expressions.
"Dully noted sir." Zander smiled slightly as Stevie and her mother both walked in again.
"Sorry for the rude introduction. I'm Rebecca or Becky. Stevie's mom." She held out her hand as Zander politely shook it and smiled.
"So how long have you two been together?" Her mom asked looking between the two.
"Um about 3 months." He answered looking towards Stevie for approval.
"That's nice." She answered.
"Why are you guys here anyway,thought you had a business party to go to." Stevie questioned, sitting down on the couch.
"We do but of course your dad forgot something, but we heard you in here and wanted to see what was going on." Stevie laughed at the fact that her dad always managed to forget something anywhere they go.
"Right. I should go get that." He stalked off leaving awkward tension throughout the room.
"Um well I'll see you guys later. It was really great to meet you Zander. Hopefully you'll be here tomorrow for our family dinner." Becky shook Zander's hand once more.
"No mom he does-" Stevie tried implying but was cut off by her idiot boyfriend.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." He smiled, as Mrs. Baskara said a final goodbye, walking out the room. Hearing the door close, Stevie shot up again, pulling Zander down with her.
"You idiot!" She hit him.
"Ow. Why am I- ow stop that- an idiot?" He said.
"You accepted dinner with the Baskara's. We might as well break up now so my brothers don't have to do that." She let him go, pushing him and grabbing his arms to help him up.
"I'll be fine. Trust me." He smiled and kissed her lightly. She pulled away, receiving a frown from Zander but ignore it.
"Why's it so cold in winter?"
"Because it's always cold in winter."
"I hate you so much."
"No you love me."
"Prove it."
"Steviekins would you like my flannel so you aren't cold?"
"Maybe."
Zander laughed as he removed the price of clothing off and slipped it onto his girlfriend who was already wearing one of his shirts..
"Let's just sleep and cuddle until it's time." Zander picked up Stevie, as she laid her head on his shoulder and her hands rested on his chest. Bringing her upstairs, he set her down on the bed, pulling the covers over her. He then settled down next to her himself, bundled up next to her.
"Happy New year Z." She kissed him and snuggled deeper to his chest.
"Happy New year baby."
