Hi I'm Mia. And I have one of those awkward, you like your best friend situation. But as the new year is approaching my goal is to give Karter a sign, and to date him by the end of the year.
I have tried everything. The mistletoe, (sigh) I accidentally put up Holly and he could tell the difference and I only got a hug. For Christmas he gave me a bracelet and I gave him a new guitar pick and a recording of me signing his new song. So nothing happened there. But I am determined to win him over at the new years party.
There was this out door new years party he was driving me to. It was going to be dark. It would be the perfect time to kiss him.
On the way to the party he stops at my house. I'm wearing ripped jeans, a tank top, and a shirt around my waist. As I step into his truck he looks at me with his charming smile, and I can't help but blush.
When we finally get there he buys me cotton candy and some pop corn. He said he would be right back and went to go talk with some friends. It was five minutes til new years I was starting to rethink this whole idea. I mean what if he saw me! And he found out, I wouldn't know what to do! But I needed to do this. Two minutes till midnight I had to find him. At one minute I find him, I get really close at thirty seconds it was dark enough that he couldn't see me. Five, I move in. Four, I take his hand. Three, I move my face close. Two, my cold hand touches his warm cheek. One, our lips meet. It was as sweet as honey, as warm as a hug, but as soft as butterfly kisses. When the fireworks go off I quickly shuffle away before Karter sees my face.
