Secrets

New Year's Part III

It was almost 11pm and I was standing talking to Mona, she was actually a really nice girl, despite my initial disliking to her, thinking Nico fancied her, and we were getting on really well. But that's when he came and interrupted us.

"where are we going?" I asked, ridiculously confused. "home"
"home? Why? Is everything okay?" I frowned, seeing his friends stood by the door. "yeah, I had arranged with the guys to come here, but I want to spend this time with you now. Alone" he explained. I was still shocked and confused but I went along with it anyway. We said goodbye to everyone and then made our way out of the apartment.

.........

"you are okay with spending tonight with just me now?" he asked nervously as we walked out of the building. "of course I am" I smiled reassuringly at him. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled back at me. That's when he hailed a cab, how we managed to get one at this hour was beyond me, and soon we were arriving at his place again.

........

It was 11.50 by now and we were sitting on the floor of his balcony, wrapped up in blankets, cuddled up in each otherl. "I've loved having you here with me this week" he said, pulling me tighter into his chest. I smiled and closed my eyes, feeling more content than I ever have before and I hummed in agreeance. "I think I'd like it if you were here more," he added, my insides started flipping. "I'd like that too" I sighed, taking in his scent. A premature firework went off, making me jump and open my eyes. Nico chuckled. I looked up and he leaned down and quickly pecked my lips. "hey there, easy up, it's not midnight yet" I giggled. "I don't care" he laughed, leaning down once more, claiming my lips again.

.....

The loud explosions above made us finally part, looking up into the sky, the night was lit up around us. We never said a word, but watched the pretty colours paint the sky. I was so happy, snuggled up with the man of my dreams, as we brought in our first new year together, and I knew it was going to be a good one.

"Victoria," Nico whispered into my ear, "will you be my forever?" he asked, making me look round at him, but I noticed the huge sparkly thing in his hand, where did that come from? "marry me?"

The end ❤️
