Lucy's POV
"Happy new year Lucy" Ross says as the clock strikes midnight. "Happy new year Ross" I reply. Where is Riker? I think as I wish everyone else a happy new year before heading up to my hotel room. When I get there I open the balcony doors and step into the night breeze. I stare out over the streets of Paris. I must admit I wish that mum was here... But I can't think like that anymore. What happened is in the past. I change and climb into my bed. My mind tries to decipher where Riker could be. I shake my head slightly before snuggling down into the blankets and try to get some sleep. As I was just starting to slip into sleep I hear a strange tapping at the door to the balcony. I try to ignore it, but it continues. Eventually it becomes too much for me and I open it. I look down and see Riker standing there. "Riker? What are you doing?" I ask softly so as not to disturb anyone else. "Get changed. I want to take you somewhere" he replies. I sigh slightly. “Okay. Gimme a sec" I say before quickly heading back inside and pulling on a top and nice trousers. I grab my bag and door key before heading down to reception and out of the front door. Riker takes my hand and starts to lead me. Eventually we reach the river and I notice a picnic had been set up. I smile as Riker offers me a seat. I take it as he opens a bottle of wine and pours it for us. "Happy new year baby girl" he says softly. "Happy new year babe" I answer as I tap my glass with his and take a sip of wine. "So why did you bring me to the river at one in the morning?" I ask as I lean back onto my elbows, my eyes focused on Riker's face. "Do you remember what you asked me yesterday?" he asks as he copies my position. "I asked you if you were crushing on anyone else" I answer. Suddenly music starts and Riker sings:
It's all about you
(Me: It's about you)
It's all about you, baby
(Me: It's all about)
It's all about you
(Me: It's about you)
It's all about you
(Riker)
Yesterday you asked me something I thought you knew
So I told you with a smile, it's all about you
(Me)
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me too
Said you'd make my life worthwhile, it's all about you
(Riker)
And I would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
But if you deny me one of your kisses
Don't know what I'd do
So hold me close and say three words
Like you used to do
Dancing on the kitchen tiles
It's all about you, yeah
During the instrumental Riker pulls me up and we start to dance and laugh. When we start to sing again I start to walk off and he follows me.
(Both)
And I would answer all your wishes
If you ask me to
