It was 11:58. 2 minutes till midnight, New Years. Jesse and Billie were still asleep. Amanda and Sonny were still cuddling on the couch.
"You haven't fallen asleep yet?" he asked Amanda, who was on his chest.
She looked up at him with a smile and asked "Why do you want a New Years kiss?".
5…
"Maybe I do" Sonny says with a smirk.
4…
"Well maybe I won't stop you"
3…
Sonny puts a fallen piece of hair behind her ear.
2…
Amanda moved closer to Sonny's lips.
1…
Their lips met. It was better than either of them had ever imagined. When they broke apart for air Amanda put her head back on his chest.
"Wow" she said which made Sonny laugh. Amanda looks up at him and asks "what are you laughing at". He smiles "you said 'wow' you thought we were good"
"better than I ever imagined". As soon as she said it she knew it was a mistake.
"So you've imagined us together?" he said with a smirk.
"Just forget I said that" Sonny smiles at her and tells her "I've thought about us too"
"You don't have to say that. You only kissed me because I am the only one here. If we were at a party you would have never kissed me, you would have kissed someone else." she said, getting off his chest.
"Amanda why are you doing this" he said sitting up. "What are you talking about". she asked.
"Amanda, I am in love with you. I can't even-" Amanda cut him off "No your not".
Sonny gets up and begins to raint. "How are you gonna tell me that I am not in love with you Amanda? You are the most gorgeous person I've ever seen. I know you're gonna tell me that you have 2 girls so your body isn't like it used to be and that your family is a mess. But I love you and those girls. Every family has their issues and your body is perfect. I will tell you everyday if I have to."
Amanda went to say something but Sonny didn't give her a chance.
"No, I am not finished. You know sometimes I stay up thinking about how perfect life would be with you and the girls? I imagine us married with a house. I come home to you and the girls asleep on the couch and I wake you up by kissing you. I imagine us fighting over the perfect school for our girls. Yes I said our girls because they are my girls too. I love them so much and I'll do anything for them. I promise you I will make sure that you and the girls have everythin-" his words were cut off by lips on his.
When Amanda pulled back she looked Sonny in his eyes and said " I love you too Dominick Carisi". She pecked his lips then said "I want all of that too. but I have 2 wishes"
"Anything"
"When we get our house you have to cook for us. Not all the time. We really like your pancakes." Sonny laughed "okay the 2nd wish?"
"I won't drive a minivan. We will never get a minivan." she said seriously.
Sonny laughed again and leaned in for a kiss but Amanda pulled back. "Promise me Dominick".
He knew there was more to the promise than the minivan. He was promising her everything. "I promise".
As soon as she heard the words her lips were on his. Sonny moved his hands to her waist pulling them closer together. Amanda swiped her tongue against his bottom lip, once, twice. Sonny opened his mouth and their tongues connected. Amanda ran her hand through his hair.
Needing air Amanda broke the kiss.
Sonny checked his watch and it read 12:47. "Amanda" he said softly.
"yea" she replied with a huge smile on her face.
"I think I should get going. I have a meeting tomorrow at 8:00". Amanda looked at him for a few seconds then said "or you could just stay here".
"As wonderful as that sounds I can't" Amanda dropped her head. "Hey it's not because I don't want to, I would love to but I have no clothes with me" Amanda laughed lightly. "yea i forgot".
Sonny went to get his jacket that was hanging up. Amanda followed behind him. When he reaches for the door knob he faintly hears his name being called.
He turns to meet a fidgety Amanda. "Amanda" he said softly. Amanda stops messing with her fingers and meets Sonny's eyes. "Will you stay with us tomorrow...overnight?"
Sonny just stood there in shock. Which made her uncomfortable "only if you want to" she added softly.
"Yes. Yes I will but i might be here a little later"
"okay" she replied. Sonny turned around to open the door and Amanda said "So I don't get a goodnight kiss?" Sonny spun around and captured her lips.
When they broke apart Sonny rested his head on hers. "I have to go."
"I know please be safe"
"I will" he said as he pecked her lips one last time.
