New Year's Eve
So it's New Year's Eve and he's invited me to watch the ball drop at his house. I go there around six. When I get out of my parents car Jason is waiting for me outside. He comes walking up to the car in this cardigan and jeans and my hearts starts to flutter. He opens up my door and I get out and he greets me with a kiss. He never ceases to make me fall head over heels for him with every look, every move, and every word. Plus it's the first year the full moon is on New Year's Eve. So it seems extra special to me. "Hey babe, you ready?" Jason asks. "Yeah, of course," I say and we walk up to the house. When we get to the front door we don't go in right away. Instead Jason turns me around and grapples me with a kiss.
He pulls away and says, "I've been waiting since Christmas to do that." Breathless I say, "I'm sorry. I know. I just had to deal with homework I've been putting off." He grabs me by the waist and leads me inside and before you know it we're kicking off the celebration early by disappearing upstairs for a while. When we come downstairs Thalia says, "There you are. We thought something had happened. What were you doing?" "God Thalia! You know what we were doing!" Jason says. "Oh!" she says looking at me and I blush. We head to the living room to watch the New Year's Special with Ryan Seacrest. We watch all the concerts. When it's almost midnight they start the countdown.
When the ball drops and the New Year arrives Jason and I kiss. They start singing Auld Lang Syne and that's when we finally pull away. "Happy New Year," I say. "Happy New Year," Jason says back. We hold each other's gaze and smile. "Thanks for an exciting year," I say. "There's still more excitement to come," he says and pulls me close to kiss my nose.
