It's Not Easy

~Nine~

I smiled to myself watching as Emily and Aaron sat talking together, I concluded she meant him when she said she liked the 'tall one'. Emily seemed calm, and from what I had seen wasn't drinking very much tonight.

"They seem to be hitting it off." Ben mumbled against my neck, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind me.

"Good. I'd love to see them together, Emily and him would be great together." I smiled.

"Hey, I think you should come home with me tonight." He smiled against my skin, kissing my neck lightly.

I giggled and pulled away from him. "If you're lucky."

The party went great, and it was no surprise to me when Emily kissed Aaron at midnight. I of course, kissed Ben who decided to take a picture for the Billy Talent Instagram page.

"That has nothing to do with your band, Ben." I laughed. "You should only post that stuff on your own personal Instagram."

"I don't want my own." He shrugged posting the picture with the caption, 'Happy New Year everyone! I was lucky enough to get start this year kissing this gorgeous lady. -Ben'

Of course, fans were immediately commenting asking who I was and some said some not so nice things. I shrugged it off, I wasn't going to let hateful children get to me.

"I love you." Ben told me, pulling me into a tight hug.

"I love you too." I smiled up at him.

"I love hearing you say that, Anastasia." He smiled.

"I'm sure you'll hear it a lot." I smiled back, quickly kissing him. "Happy New Year, handsome."

When we left Aaron's party, he and Emily were almost latched together talking and laughing, I assumed she wouldn't need a ride home tonight. I gave her a quick wink, before following Ben outside to his car.

"Jesus fucking fuck it's cold." I swore.

"It's winter time, that's what happens." Ben replied, a smirk on his face.

"Smartass." I mumbled, getting into his car. "Take me home."

"Whose home?" He asked. "Mine or yours?"

"Mine. No chance of any teenagers showing up and spoiling our time together." I smiled at him seductively. "Let's go."
