Chronicles of Lucy and Caspian [ENG]

New year's Eve

Lucy gripped Alex's hand tighter. Her crazy friend had decided that they needed to spend New Year's Eve at a party where they literally knew three other people. But Alex insisted; "Lucy!" She had whined, "We're graduating this June. Who knows what will happen. We need one crazy night, one wild story to tell!"

So Lucy had borrowed a dress of Susan's and gathered all of her courage to go with Alex to a "friend of a friends party".

The music pounded through the house walls, vibratin through Lucy's skull as they weaved through the crowded hallway. She tripped over someone and crashed into another person.

"Whoa, you okay there?" A velvet voice asked as arms steadied her on her feet.

Lucy looked up to see that the most handsome guy she'd ever seen... And she had literally just fell into him head first.

"Yeah." Lucy stammered. Alex had stopped and was now gaping openly at the guy. "Thank you."

He nodded and smiled at her. "Already to tipsy to walk?" He teased.

"No." Lucy squeaked and then cleare her throat, "Just tripped."

"Well I'd ask you to dance, but I'm worried that you'll topple us both over next time."

"I-"

"She loves to dance." Alex interrupted, "but you'll have to hold her close so she doesn't fall again." Alex winked at Lucy and disappeared. Lucy blushed furiously as he chuckled, "She's not a shy thing is she?"

"I'm going to kill her."

"Does that mean you won't dance with me?"

"No! I mean, yes. I'll dance with you." He smile and grabbed her hand, leading her towards the music.

....

His name was Caspian. It was suave and exotic- it fit him. He was an excellent dancer, smooth and warm without being creepy. After they were done dancing, they wandered around and talked until they were settled on the staircase, sitting on the side of the steps.

"So how do you know Jace?" Caspian asked.

"I don't." Lucy laughed, "Alex knows someone who knows someone."

"Alex?" His brow furrowed and then jumped up, "Ah yes, your not so sutble friend."

"Indeed." Lucy craned her head to look for Alex; she was chatting up some guys. Lucy cracked a smile, "She believes we need at least one crazy story to tell."

"And going to a near strangers party is that story?"

"Maybe." She shrugged, "I've never done anything else...I've never even kissed anyone." She muttered to herself before watching Alex again, completely unaware that Caspian had heard her.

"You-" he started but was interrupted with a shout of "THIRTY SECONDS TO MIDNIGHT!"

Everyone rushed into the living room to see the ball drop in Time Square. Lucy hopped off the stairs and Caspian followed her. They stood in the doorway- Lucy's eyes fixed on the broadcast, Caspian's eyes fixed on Lucy.

"Ten, nine, eight-" everyone began to shout with glee. Lucy felt Caspian move closer and she turned to face him "Three, two, one-"

Caspian grabbed her waist, dipped her back and lowered his lips to hers. Her grip on his shoulders- orginally for balance- tightened and she pulled herself closer by looping her arms around his neck.

He spun her upright before breaking their kiss. "Is my new year going to start with getting slapped?" He asked her.

"No." Lucy smiled.

"Good because I have a new resolution."

"Oh?" She asked, a bit confused at his random declaration.

"Yes." He pulled her close, "To kiss you at least one thousand times before 2017 is over."

"Well, you better get started."
