"I'm gonna go dance' I shouted towards Tom as I turned the volume up louder. Stumbling towards the group of people dancing in my living room I vibed with myself and moved my body to the music. Lucy walked up to me and grooved with me.

"Are you having fun?"I shouted over the music.

"Definitely, thanks for inviting us" She replied, her voice straining over the volume. Her gaze trailed to her husband who was now talking with Tuwaine and Tom. We continued to dance together for the next two songs before calling it quits. I was absolutely bursting for a wee, so I hurried upstairs to my room. When I bumbled through the doors I was shocked to see two people perched on the edge of my bed, making out.

"Oi" I shouted, making my presence known. Harry pulled away from one of the girls he arrived with but I couldn't recall her name.

"You aren't supposed to be in here" I said firmly, my hands resting on my hips. They both looked sheepishly embarrassed.

"Take it elsewhere please" I spoke as I gestured out of the room.

"And Harry? Be safe" My voice cracked into laughter at the deer in headlights expression he wore. They disappeared back downstairs and shut the door behind them, a bit harder than intended. I finished my business in the bathroom, quickly touching up my lipstick in the bathroom mirror and readjusting my boobs. I was good to go.

Navigating the stairs I made my way back down to the party. Harry and his lady friend danced together as he caught my eye and I shook my head at him while smiling.

I poured myself another drink before scanning the crowd. It seemed like everyone was enjoying themselves and I knew I definitely was. I couldn't spy Stacey, so I headed off on a mission to find her, clumsily stumbling past the moving bodies. My feet were beginning to ache from the heels and I wished I never put them back on.

Pulling the door open with more force than necessary, I found Stacey in a cloud of smoke and joined her.

"Can I pinch another?" I asked her, referring to the cigarette.

"Of course, help yourself" She said, passing me the deck. I pulled out a smoke and brought it to my lips, sparking the lighter and inhaling. My head began spinning slightly and I knew I was really wasted at this point. We gushed over how cute our respective partners were as we finished our smokes.

I quickly checked my phone and realised the count down for the new year had two minutes left. We hurried back inside and I turned the music down a few notches.

"Hey, there's two minutes til the New Year! Better find who you're kissing at midnight" speaking eagerly to the crowd. I turned on the tv quickly to a news channel that was also counting down before I saw Tom walking over to me.

"Hey Angel, you gonna be my new years kiss?" He asked me in a low voice.

"Of course" I said with a cheeky grin, wondering if it would have been more fitting for me to have dressed hellish tonight. The tv changed to a 30 second countdown as a hush fell over us all.

We were all glued to the tv, and we started shouting out the last ten digits before the timer was replaced with live videos of fireworks being set off all around London.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR" We all yelled as loud as possible. Tom turned to me, wrapped a hand around my waist, the other holding my hand to his chest as he pulled me close, kissing me with such intensity it made me feel euphoric.

We stayed together, our mouths opening to each other as we deepened our kiss for a few moments. When we broke apart I looked around the crowd to see that we'd all managed to score a kiss. I began the music again and switched off the tv, getting back into the party.
