This is just a quick, short update to celebrate the New Year! Hope everyone has a great evening and starts 2016 in the best way! Thank you for all the support with all my fics this year, I hope to carry on in the same way next year! :)
Many shots later and everyone was beginning to congregate outside again. Jacob was desperately looking around for Connie as soon enough people would begin the countdown for the New Year.
The only people outside were those from the ED who were standing together in a crowd. People were beginning to join hands and lean against one another smiling waiting for 2016 to become the year.
Connie stepped outside and looked around the crowd for her fiancée. She noticed him towards the front of the garden and began to make her way over to him. "Hey, I was beginning to think you'd been dragged away by another man-" "Oh yeah because that is definitely something that would happen to the oldest woman here." Connie rolled her eyes as she felt his hand slide around her waist.
"Before we start this whole new year new me stuff, which is by the way absolute crap, I just wanted to let you know how lucky I am to have someone like you in my life. I know I don't say it enough but you're the best thing to have ever happened to me Jacob and-" She was stopped from saying anything else as he gently pressed his lips to hers, deepening the kiss as he held onto her waist still.
They were still attached to each other when the garden got louder. "10, 9, 8…" They broke apart and moved towards the others smiling. "6, 5, 4…" Connie felt Jacob's hand drop and interweave with hers. She looked up at him smiling as they finished the countdown with the rest of the staff.
"3, 2, 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Cheers were heard from all around as people began to hug each other and wish them the best. Jacob had turned to Connie and latched his lips to hers as everyone had reached 1. They were stood in a trance as everyone moved around them.
The moment seemed to be frozen in time. It was as though there was nobody else around and the only person who mattered was the other. Connie moved her hands to settle on his shoulders as his dropped to her waist. She smiled into the kiss as loud bangs were beginning to sound. As they pulled apart they joined everyone in looking up to the sky which was alight with colour.
Fireworks were exploding in the sky producing bright colours in all directions. Connie moved her gazed to Jacob's face as he looking into the sky at the display. He felt her eyes burning into him and so gazed back to her with a gentle smile on his face. "I love you-" she was met with a smile from him before they shared a passionate kiss once again. "Happy New Year Staff Nurse Masters-" "Happy New Year Mrs Masters to-be…"
