Timeless: One Shots

Happy New Year?

     "Attention, attention everyone. This announcement is to remind everyone of the annual Mason Industries New Year celebration. This year the event will be held at Mr. Mason's own mansion. Thank you," the intercom buzzed off with static.

   Lucy stepped out of the dressing room holding her costume from their recent trip. She began to walk towards the dozens of racks of clothing when she heard a voice behind her.

   "You going to the party," Wyatt asked walking up beside her with a grin. She smiled and shook her head. His grin dropped for a split second.

  "Why not," Wyatt said, "It could be fun. You know dancing, drinking, and he'll we are going to be in a mansion."

  Lucy giggled at Wyatt, not believing he was trying to persuade her. "I mean I would go, but it won't just we a work party. My mother and my, uh, fiancé," she took in a shaky breath saying fiancé, "will also be there and, I don't know, it'll be awkward."

  A man dropped by the two and took their clothes and Wyatt stuffed his hands in his pockets. He seemed to be leaning towards her.

  "Well, not completely awkward. I'll be there and I can sweep you away if it becomes awkward," Wyatt's eyes twinkled with hope. Lucy pondered the idea, taking into account how much Wyatt wanted her there.

  "Promise," Lucy giggled.

   Wyatt smiled, "Promise."

~~~~~*~~~~~

   Days passed and before Lucy realized it was hours before her New Years party. She decided her dress should sort of match Noah's suit for the party. Her mother even helped her pick out the black cocktail dress she was wearing now.

  The doorbell rang when she was walking down the stairs. Her mother opened it and in walked Noah. Lucy had to admit he cleaned up nice and looked fine in a suit. He brought flowers and handed them to her mother as she reached the last step.

  "Wow. You look beautiful," Noah smiled grabbing her hands and kissing her cheek. Lucy didn't pull away this time, just because she didn't want questions from her mother.

  The three of them stood in awkward silence before her mom suggested they get going. Lucy agreed in a heartbeat and gave her mom directions to Mason's house. The thirty-ish minute ride was uncomfortable for Lucy. Her and Noah were stuffed in the back and he put in hand on her knee. Lucy's mind imaged Noah was Wyatt and let him keep it there.

   "Alright, I think this is it," her mom finally said pulling into the long driveway of Mason's house. It was a beautiful, two story house that had a stone base. Noah opened the door for Lucy and helped her out. She smiled and they walked up to the door. Connor Mason opened the door and let the three of them in.

  "Nice to finally meet you Ms. Preston and you must be Noah Lucy's fiancé," Mason said shaking their hands. He lead them to his large living room. Lucy spotted Wyatt and Rufus immediately, laughing. Noah caught Lucy staring and lead her over to them.

  "Um, Noah this is Rufus Carlin," she gestured to him then to Wyatt, "And this is Wyatt Logan." Noah shook both of their hands before draping his left arm over Lucy's shoulders. Wyatt clenched his teeth and stared at Noah's arm. Wyatt looked as if he was about to say something, but Noah wanted to dance with her.

~~~~*~~~~

  "Wyatt, are you jealous," Rufus asked as Lucy and Noah walked away.

  "I-I am not jealous," Wyatt stuttered out, "She barely knows the guy."

  Rufus chuckled, "Alright man." The two stood in silence as they watched Lucy and Noah dance.

  "Alright everyone," Mason said clinging a glass, "Midnight is almost here. I ask everyone to join me on the balcony to watch the fireworks."

  Every person at the party made their way out to Mason's balcony that wrapped around the entire back of the house. Rufus noticed Jiya in the crowd and made his way over to her. Wyatt was left walking alone outside.

  "Hey," a small voice sounded. Wyatt turned around and was met by Lucy's brown eyes. She smiled up at him, "What are you doing all alone?"

  "Oh, um, Rufus went to talk to Jiya and, wait, where is that Noah guy," Wyatt said noticing he wasn't with her.

  She laughed, "I asked him if he would get me and drink and my mom hooked him into conversation."

  Wyatt's eyes sparkled and he let out a husky laugh. She giggled to and they heard a count down. 10...9...8....

  Lucy stared at Wyatt her eyes flickering to his lips. Wyatt noticed and smirked at her. 5...4...3

  It was tradition to kiss someone at midnight on New Years and Lucy longed to feel Wyatt lips on her again. The last time it happened was at Rufus' Christmas party. Wyatt also seemed to long for her lips as well he leaned down the slightest bit. 2...1... Happy New Year!

  Cheers rang out and fireworks exploded into the air. Wyatt couldn't contain himself, grabbed Lucy's cheek and smashed his lips into hers. She rested her hands on his chest and kissed him back. She was so relieved that it was dark out and Noah was off somewhere else. They pulled away out of breath. Wyatt smirked and stood up straighter looking at Lucy with a gleam in his eyes.

   "Lucy, I-I wanted to-," Wyatt stopped short when he noticed Noah walking this way with two glasses of wine in his hand.

   "Happy New Year Luce," Noah said handing her one glass. Before she could say anything he kissed her. She was taken aback and almost dropped her glass. She didn't kiss him back like she did with Wyatt.  It wasn't right kissing Noah, but he was her fiancé unfortunately.

  When Noah pulled away they three stood and watched the fireworks. None of them were sure if it was a start to a Happy New Year.
