The Note ↠ Daniel Seavey

Chapter 33

December 31, 2017

I put on my dress. I went over to my vanity and did my hair. I decided to just curl it for tonight. I did my makeup, which ended up taking a lot longer than I thought. I grabbed my heels and clutch before meeting Nadia downstairs.
"You look great," I told Nadia once I saw her.
"Look in a mirror."

"Hey girls! Lookin good," Logan said as we stepped inside.
"As always," Nadia replied, stepping inside. She immediately went over to a group of people while I stayed back with Logan.
"Is maverick in his cage?" I asked. Maverick was Logan's bird. Lucky for me, Maverick loves me, so I don’t get attacked whenever I see him.
"Thank you I almost forgot. I let him out earlier."
"I'll do it. Maverick loves me." I went into Logan's room and let Maverick in my shoulder. "Hey Mav," I said, rubbing his hear with my finger. I set him into his cage and shut the door.
My phone dinged and I opened the message.

est💙: Hey bby girl. You doing anything tonight?

"Little late to ask, ya think?" I thought.

Kourtney💍: yeah, I'm at a party right now.
West💙: What time does it end.
Kourtney💍: whenever we get kicked out of his apartment.
West💙: his?
Kourtney💍: Logan. We got a last-minute invite.
West💙: oh. Okay, I'll see you later.

West has been acting weird all week. I knew something was bothering him, but I decided to not question it.
I put my phone in my clutch and went back out. I found Nadia and the boys and went over to them. "Hey guys what's up?"
"They are both wearing dresses," Jack said, looking at me.
"I don't believe it," Jonah added.
"Why is it unbelievable?" I asked, laughing.
"Because you guys never were dresses," Zach said.
"These men better keep their grubby hands off of you guys or they are gonna be catching these," Daniel said, holding up his fists.

It was thirty minutes until the ball dropped. Everyone was dancing around, having a good time.
Before we knew it, Logan was telling everyone it was thirty seconds until the ball dropped. Everyone gathered around the tv and started to count down.
"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Everybody yelled.
Party poppers were going off and everybody was cheering. I don't think my smile left my face the entire night.

The Authors POV

We got out of the car and headed up to Logan's apartment.
We walked in and I found some of my friends. Then Kourtney walked out of Logan's room. She looked stunning.
"Maverick is put away for the safety of every person here," she told Logan.
"Aye, thanks Kourt. Nadia and the boys are over there," Logan said, pointing to her group of friends.
"Thanks."
She walked over to her group. I walked over there to, deciding to make some conversation.
"Hey Kourtney," I said, pulling her into a hug.
"Hey," she said, hugging me back.
-
"10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
It took every ounce of me to not grab Kourtney and kiss her. I liked her, more than a friend. I don't see how the boys do it. Her boyfriend was lucky to have her. She's not perfect, but she is my type of perfect. Too bad I can't call her mine.
Throughout the entire night I did notice one thing, though.
She never stopped smiling. And neither did I.
