All I could do was gaze at Elle immensely as she sat there laughing ever so elegantly.

Everytime she laughed her eyes would close and her dimples would pierce her blushing cheeks, she really was truly so beautiful in every aspect for her being.

Maybe it's too early to even be saying this but I could really feel myself already falling so heavily for her and I didn't ever want that feeling to stop.

With such admiration in my eyes for the girl sat beside me all I could think is how badly I wanted her to be mine.

Catching me in my stare Elle's eyes caught mine as she turned away from her conversation with Heidi and glanced up at me, a precious smile attained on her lips.

"You okay?" She softly asked, resting one hand on my thigh as her other wrapped itself around the glass of her rosé.

"Perfect" I grinned before leaning forward and pressing a soft kiss to her tip of her head.

I watched as her smile grew even wider, her trying to hide it as she let out a gentle sigh before shyly resting her head against my shoulder.

Letting out a small laugh I slipped my arm around her waist before sliding her close to my side. Placing another kiss on the top of her head I then used my free hand to grab my beer off the table and taking a sip.

"So I hope we're all planning to get absolutely wasted tomorrow night" Liam announced, rather enthusiastically, as be banged his hands against the table.

Laughing I lightly shook my head, causing both Liam and Kyle to scoff, making Elle giggle against my arm.

"I already told you guys I'm not drinking much, we've got a game in a couple weeks and I wanna do my best" I explained before placing my beer back on the table.

"But it's one night of the year, it's new years eve. How can you tell me you're the only one who's not going to be getting drunk tomorrow night?" Liam moaned, giving me the same look he always did when he isn't getting his way.

"I just don't wanna jeopardise my chances of playing good okay?" I laughed, giving him an appointed look to give up pushing.

Letting out a sigh Liam rolled his eyes before submerging himself in conversation with Kyle.

Laying on Elle's bed I waited for her to take her makeup off and join me. Tonight we were staying at hers while Heidi was staying with Liam, finally giving Elle and I the privacy we missed.

Finally coming out of the bathroom all I could do was smile to myself as I sat in awe of how simply beautiful she looked, wearing nothing but one of my baggy grey tops, her hair pulled into a loose ponytail.

"Come here" I smiled, beckoning Elle to come over as she softly laughed before strolling over to bed.

Just before she was about to climb into bed I reached my arms up and wrapped them around her before pulling her on top of me the two of us both falling back into the duvet.

Laughter erupted from Elle's lips as she readjusted herself, still remaining to lay on top of me as I began to gently sooth my hand up and down her back, underneath her t-shirt.

"I've really missed you" I smiled, taking my other hand and sliding her loose curls behind her ears.

"I've missed you" Elle returned, her precious smile lighting up at me as she layed her hands on my bare chest, drawing patterns on my skin with her fingertips.
