As most of you probably know... I'm not very patient... So here's the New Years chapter...
The Blind Date AU pt. 11
It had been a while since Audrey had kissed someone on New Years. She hadn't really cared for the tradition. The last time she had kissed someone on New Years was in high school, with her boyfriend at the time. Now that she was with Shelby it was a different story. Shelby had been so excited to kiss Audrey at the stroke of midnight, Audrey couldn't help but share the excitement.
"Come on, kiss me." Audrey hummed. They were in Times Square waiting for the ball drop. They had watched the performances, the singers, the speeches. It was only five minutes until midnight.
"I can't kiss you yet. Not until next year." Shelby said with a giggle. Audrey rolled her eyes. "It won't be as special if we kiss now." Shelby whined. "Just wait a few more minutes. Please?" she begged.
"Yes, fine, fine." Audrey said with an exasperated sigh.
The excitement around them had started to build. Shelby clutched Audrey tightly, in fear that she might lose her in the crowd. Audrey held back just as tight, feeling through Shelby's hair. She could never give the taller woman enough attention. She watched Shelby's eyes as midnight grew nearer. Shelby was preoccupied, looking around at the lights and the people. Audrey could see the complete awe in the girl's shining, blue eyes. She couldn't help but kiss Shelby's cheek. "How are you so beautiful?" she whispered to herself, still feeling through Shelby's hair.
Shelby hadn't heard over the bustle of the people surrounding them. Audrey had been too busy watching Shelby to notice the clock striking twelve. Shelby met Audrey's eyes with an excited smile, gently holding the back of her head and pulling her in for a deep, loving kiss. The sound of the fireworks and cheering was like a blur to the both of them. The confetti fell all around them, grazing their skin and getting caught in their hair.
The boom of the fireworks could be felt in their chests, but it didn't compare to the racing of their hearts. Audrey pulled Shelby in a little closer, her arm around her waist. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss. People had started leaving but Shelby and Audrey were too busy to notice. In their minds, they were the only people in Times Square.
When the kiss had finally been broken, Shelby met Audrey's eyes with her own hazy ones. She smiled, laughing breathlessly before pulling Audrey back in for another kiss. This one was quick. She pulled away again to watch Audrey's eyes. She noticed a slight blush on the smaller woman's cheeks. "Happy New Year." Shelby said with a smile, feeling over Audrey's cheeks. "Something tells me you liked that more than you're going to admit."
Audrey bit her lip. Who would have thought that something as corny as kissing on New Years could be so enjoyable? "Something tells me you're right." Audrey said with a grin, still holding around Shelby's waist as she tugged her along, heading back to the hotel.
Shelby had gotten her phone out. "Wait." she said, quickly snapping a picture of the both of them. She pecked Audrey on the cheek for one of the pictures. "You have confetti in your hair." Shelby giggled.
Audrey laughed softly, watching Shelby as they walked. She could see her small breaths in the air. This was going to be a good year.
