December 31st 2015

A chorus of screams-

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, beautiful!" I whispered into Olivia's ear. Her smile was huge as she kissed me. Every touch from her still gave me butterflies.

"Can we go outside?" She spoke loudly. I nodded.

A huge private party had been arranged for New Year's, and it was getting a little out of control. Olivia grabbed my arm and dragged me outside the club.

"This year is going to be amazing, I can feel it right-" She grabbed my hand and placed it over her heart, "Here!"

I kissed her softly, "You deserve it, you really do. You haven't exactly had the most swimming time these past few years."

We started walking down the road, back towards the hotel, without a thought.

"You know, your music used to be the only thing that would get me through a day. Now, it's you. As people. Real. In my life. My dad, boyfriend and two best friends." She was rambling, but I soaked up every word.

She laced her fingers through mine, "Hey, Zachary?" She giggled softly.

"Yes, Olivia?"

"Doesn't it seem a bit strange that you're the same age as my dad?" She made a pouting face.

"Not really. I mean, your dad was 12 when he had you. Anyway, love is love. And I am hopelessly in love with you, Miss Dawson. Don't you ever forget it!"
