dreaming¿

chapter 18

'Are you ready?' Sarah asked me while looking at the mirror, trying to put on the safety clippings on her earrings

'Almost! What about you?' I answered and helped her put on the earrings and she smiled as she leaned in to kiss me

'I'm ready now!' She said and I took her in, looking her from head to toe

'You look incredible darling' I said biting my lip

'So do you Y/N... You should honestly wear suits way more often' I smiled and raised my eyebrows 'Alright come on, it's already 11.55!' She said looking at her wristwatch 'Go grab the champagne from the table and a couple of glasses' I nodded and headed towards the kitchen

I poured the champagne in the glasses and went outside on the balcony where Sarah already was, waiting for me

'Here' I said and handed her one of the glasses. She looked so beautiful in her red dress. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be with her, in the country where I always dreamt about travelling to. I love her so much, always had, always will

'You are staring Y/L/N' she smiled at me

'Of course I'm staring! Look at you. You are a goddess, Paulson, and I love you so much!' I kissed her and she pulled away a few seconds later

'The countdown!' She said with wide opened eyes pointing at the clock on the wall. I felt so anxious and I didn't even know why. Maybe because it was one of the first times that I was not alone in New Year's Eve, and I would actually have a person to kiss when the clock strikes midnight. I took a deep breath and walked towards her

'5'

Sarah grabbed my waist, pulling me closer to her body

'4... 3... 2... 1...' We counted down together

We kissed, both smiling to each other

'Happy new year baby' she whispered to me

'Happy new year sweetie' I said back to her resting my forehead on hers

'Spending this whole year creating even more special memories with you is my new year's resolution for this year' She chuckled

'Let's accomplish this goal then' I kissed the inside of her hand and she nodded

'I would really love that'

We were sitting out in the balcony drinking more champagne, when I heard my phone ringing from inside the living room. I got up and I saw that it was my dad who was calling me. I smiled and picked it up immediately

'Hey dad! Happy new year! Oh sorry I forgot about the time difference since-'

'Hey Y/N...' My dad said interrupting me in all seriousness, dismissing everything I said to him

'Hey dad! What's the matter? Did something happen?' Even though we were miles apart, I knew my dad too well, and I knew that there was something he was keeping from me. I could mentally picture the worried look that must have been stuck on his face and I swallowed hard, afraid of what he was going to tell me in the next few minutes

'I don't know how to tell you this... I'm sorry for ruining your trip but I'm afraid that I have to tell you something' I could easily sense the hesitation in his voice, and my impatience grew even bigger as I didn't know what to anticipate

'Dad, it doesn't matter, you know you can tell me anything. What has happened? You are really scaring me right now ' I heard him sigh from the other side of the call

'Is Sarah there with you right now?' I turned to look at Sarah, you was looking at me with a worried and confused look on her face

'Yeah, she is right here' I answered him
