Enjoy!

To tell the truth, I could hardly walk. The third round (right after waking up again) was a little too much. We were at my grandparent's house and I could as well have been invisible. My mother and I had had a really lovely Christmas the day before but now…

I sighed and took another sip of my wine. I missed Kid. Usually I didn't mind being alone, even in big groups. I just didn't care if people were interested in me. But this was my family, for fuck's sake! Only today I had realized that I still didn't have Kid's mobile number.

I couldn't even text him, let alone call. And I miss him so much. I'm pathetic, really. I only left his side less than twentyfour hours ago. I drowned the rest of my wine and got up to get more alcohol.

One of my cousins had been allowed to take her friend along and the dark haired girl was now desperatly trying to get my attention. I knew what she was trying but I couldn't care less. She was hot, really was. A tight, black dress with a round neckline – low cut but not too daring. The curves she didn't hide too much were appealing.

And still I missed Kid. I wanted him here. I wished that I could have brought a friend. In the end it didn't matter. I grabbed for a glass and filled it with something that almost reeked of alcohol. Good. I turned around and suddenly faced the dark haired woman. Heaven help me. She stood too close.

"Hi." Go Away! "Oh, hi." I took a step back and tried to get more distance between the two of us. I mentioned that she was hot, right? I liked the looks of her. I made a fast move and felt pain flash up my spine. Oh well… Nearly forgot about the pain there. Kid.

"You're Lill's cousin?" I nodded hesitantly. Could someone please help me? "You seem lonely… I guessed you could do with some company and so I join you. I'm Kelly." I rolled my eyes, not ready to speak a single additional word with her. But I guessed I had to. "Listen. I don't care who you are. But I'd advice you to leave me in peace."

I walked away, hoping she wouldn't follow. My mother would probably go all over the affair if she ever came to know. I didn't care. I needed Kid. Fighting my way through the crowd I got to my mother. "How much longer..?"

"Oh dear. I know you don't like these parties of Granny, but really, you should stay." I sighed and knocked back the rest of my drink. "I'm gone. I just can't stand this shit and now I also got some weird fangirl that isn't even part of my family. See you tonight, Mom." And with this I turned on the heel, nearly colliding with this Kelly girl.

"You are leaving?" Hell yes… Exactly what I needed. I placed my glass on a table and stroled off, hoping again that she wouldn't follow. Bad luck… I needed Kid; desperately now. Grabbing my jacked I was out in the corridor and headed for the stairs. I heard the clicking of her heels on the floor.

Turning around I sighed and looked at her. She smiled and seemed rather excited about the fact we were alone now. How was ist possible that I always ran into the stupid chicks? Did I look like I freaking wanted them to get on me? Not really, right..?

Well, maybe I just attracted the stupid chicks but the clever guys? I could live with this… A broad smirk spread on my face and of course she took it the wrong way. Oh why are they so stupid. "Shouldn't you be in there?" She shook her head, smiling lovingly.

"I'll go have a smoke and maybe grab myself a coffee on the way home. If you don't need to go back in you can join. Just don't expect anything." I slipped into my jacket and headed into the direction of the bus stop. I wanted to get to Kid. I needed someone to save me…

She followed me, shivering in her thin coat but I didn't offer her mine. She shouldn't think that I had even the slightest interest in her. And as soon as I reached Kid's place, I would get rid of her. Once and for all.

The bus ride was a silent and rather awkward thing, but at least we didn't need to change buses. Dropping by in Starbucks I got myself a coffee and an additional one for Kid. Soon I was in front of his apartement and pressed the door bell. Kerry, or whatever her name was, didn't get it still.

"Why buying me a coffee and not handing it over?" I laughed and was about to answer her when Kid's voice sounded from the intercom. I grinned, overy excited to see him again. "Hey sweetheard, will you let me in? I got coffee to pay you..?" The girl's face fell.

"You're gay?" The door opened. "Not necessarily. But I definitly am into that guy." Kid stood in the open door, looking mildly surprised. I smiled widely and gave Kelly – that was her name – a nod. "Guss I won't see you again." She shook her head, still shocked and I turned my back to her. Kid greeted me with a warm embrace and picked the coffee from my hand.

"Missed you…" "Missed you too."

No drama.. just sweet sweet love and poor Law.

Why a crazy grandma with a stupid Christmas party? I have no clue. But it just fit... Dunno why.

Probably because I had my family over for Christmas today. XDD

Drama to come soon... And for those who haven't guessed it yet: This story is not going to end here. And if these lovely characters continue to do whatever they like, it might go one for a while longer...

Read & Review please - Thanks!
