Free beers in a stranger's house. That's what attracted Lauren, Normani, Harry and Ashton to roam around New York City in this cold evening of December 31.

Only six hours left and they'll have to say hello for another year. The four, not being able to go home for holiday decided that it would be great to have fun in crashing other's New Year's Eve party. Besides, people would be too drunk to notice their unfamiliar faces.

They're now in their fifth house party. Clearly, all are pretty much tipsy already, Lauren and Normani dashed to the kitchen to grab their another round of free beer while Harry and Ashton trailed behind them. Even though the boys wanted to get drunk for the night, they ended up looking out for their two drunk friends.

After grabbing some beer, Normani and Lauren went to the dance floor and started dancing with random strangers who clearly don't care who are they dancing with at the time.

Harry rolled his eyes, watching his friends care freely joining with the crowd. "I'm just gonna sit here." Harry groaned, taking the stool beside Ashton who's exhausted already. They've been watching out for the two since the second house party. "Yeah, me too. Those two don't get tired, do they?" Harry just laughed and offered his friend for another beer.

Normani and Lauren's dancing made the two a little sober, so Lauren quickly got out from the crowd to get them some beer again. But on the way there, she saw from the side of her sight a girl who is clearly being harassed by some old man. She looked around and realized that everyone's busy with their own thing, so she doesn't have any options but be the one to approach them.

"I said I don't need a drink." She heard the girl said with a gritted teeth. The man's been bugging her for a couple of minutes already.

"Hey babe, there you are. I've been looking out everywhere for you." Lauren said, throwing her arm around the stranger. She was shock at first but by the time Lauren eyed her, she got the brunette's message and played with it. "I'm sorry I got lost, babe." The stranger replied.

The man just snorted. "Yeah, as if I'll fall for that. I've seen a lot of that already. You two are straight. What if I buy you two a drink instead?"

The man is really persistent and it's getting on Lauren's nerve. What can she do with that?

"Oh yeah? Do straight faking couple do this?" The stranger cupped Lauren's face and lowered her as their lips slowly pressed against each other.

The soft innocent kiss gradually deepened as Lauren didn't hesitate to kiss back the girl. She doesn't know if it's because she's drunk, but she liked the way the smaller girl brush her lips against hers.

The two continued kissing, not realizing that the old man already left them with a pissed off face.

Needing for air, the stranger was the first to pull out but rested her forehead against Lauren's who is also breathing heavily.

They smiled to one another as they opened both of their eyes. That's the very first time they had a clear vision to each one's faces. Brown eyes meets green ones. They're both entranced with each ones undeniable beauty.

"Wow. That's... I really can't put a word to describe it." Lauren said softly, detaching her head from the stranger.

"Yeah, me too. You're really a good kisser." The brown eyed girl spoke sweetly. "I'm Camila, by the way." Camila stretched her hand for Lauren to shake.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Lauren." The brunette said accepting Camila's hand, lingering a little more. Lauren can't seem to get enough of the smaller girl's beauty.

"Thank you for saving me there. That man kept on bugging me even after I refused him multiple times."

"It's a pleasure to help."

They stayed staring at each other, still flustered with what just happened when people started yelling for countdown.

"10!" They started.

"You have someone you should share with your New Year's kiss?" Lauren asked.

"9!"

"Nope." Camila replied shyly.

"8!"

"You?"

"7!"

"Same as you"

"6!"

"It seems like we're stuck with each other." Camila chuckled nervously.

"5!"

"Yeah, I think we should do it."

"4!"

"Why I still feel nervous about this? I just kissed you earlier."

"3!"

"Don't worry I feel the same." This time it was Lauren's turn to cup the smaller girl's face, slowly bringing her closer.

"2!"

Camila wrapped her arms around Lauren's waist, their faces are dangerously close.

"1! Happy New Year!" Everyone shouted.

Lauren and Camila closed their eyes as they pressed their lips to one another. Their kiss was more soft and delicate this time. Camila tasted Lauren's lips and a little of beer, but she didn't mind. Lauren tasted Camila's sweet lip gloss and a little of vodka and she was intoxicated.

Traveling her hand from Camila face to the back of the smaller girl's neck, Lauren brought the girl even closer to her if that's possible. Camila tightened her grip to the brunette's waist, slowly swaying their hips as their lips danced through the music they can hear from the background.

The two broke off the kiss, breathing heavily from their slow yet intense kiss.

Best New Year's kiss.
