You love

Chapter 19

  the sky a dark ocean. Bradley is on the stairs waiting as we pull up. Kie swings open the door and let's out an ear deafening whistle before the car comes to a stand still. He joggs down the steps wearing a nifty suit that is a size to small and exadurated his muscles making the bulge out. I could help but stair at them through the tinted glass of the car. I only notices his black bowtie once he is buckled in and looking at my own choice of oWe arrive outside Bradley's hotel building around half seven, the sun is an inch from fading out and leavingut fit. I feel extremely under dressed compared to everyone in the car.
Even the driver was in a suit and tie, no where near as attractive as Bradley but I give him point for trying. I also give myself points for being casual. I had debated wearing a tie myself but decided otherwise.
"You look nice" Bradley says leaning forward over my shoulder.
"So do you" I reply.
The rest of the journey is surprisingly awkward and filled with small talk about a waffle house that I was yet to visit. Ella would be so jelouse if she found out I was about to spend new year with Bradley fricking O'Connor. She would be infuriated if she found out how I felt about him.
We all pile out of the car when we reach the warehouse. It was not what I was expecting, someone had clearly gone through a lot of effort to make this place look good and there hard work had paid off. Bright lights were hung vertically inside and out, the music was already blasting when we walked through the large wooden door.
A Beyonce song plays in the background, veronica and Kie had gone off to get drinks leaving me alone with Bradley, he looks in to my eyes and I look back deep in to his poodles of blue.
"So are you enjoying new york" Bradley asks
"Very much, now even more so" I tell him feeling myself grow red in the cheeks. He takes a step closer to me, I feel my heart thump against my ribcage treating to brake through. His hand touches mine.
He takes another step towards me and another until our bodies are a centimetre apart. My mouth grows dry and a bead of sweat firms in my forehead. His hand slowly moves up to my elbow and then to my shoulder. His fingers traces the back of my neck settling in a griphis finger on the back of my head and his thumb placed just in front of my ear. My heart beats faster which I didn't even know was possible. He leans lips parted. He presses them against mine. My head begins to spin, was I really kissing him was this actually happening. iI part my lips and kiss him back. Out lips interlocked with each other unable to ditatch.
I don't push him away, I don't want to push him away. Eventually were are separated by woop and cheers coming from Kie and v as they return with the drinks.
"I was wondering how long it would take yall to do that" Kie says putting on his strongest southern accent which brought a smile to my lips. Before he moved here we would always joke about how one day he would develop a goofy southern accent and how much I would mock him for it by mimmicing everything he said. The opportunity was there there was no way he was going to miss it.
"Y'all" I mimic making everyone burst out in an hysterical fit of laughter.
Kie passes us our drinks and we set out to fund a corner to reside for the night. As far as I could tell we were all the kind of person to seap in to the background. But we all had out excuses. Kie was Mr popular, v was the dominatrix, Bradley was the famous child that always had to seen having a good time and me well I don't have a reason apart from wanting to be around my friends for as long as possible before my flight in two days.
The night goes by so quickly just like every night in new York seemed to. It felt like ten minutes to twelve within a blink of an eye.
"Isn't this just exciting" v says slurring her world some how managing to keep herself standing up right.
"Oh my god you have a face" v gasps playing peek a boo with herself.
A booming voice echoes over the speakers anounching that it was thirty seconds till  new year.
We all stand up and hold hands, I find myself squeezing Bradley's hand. I loosen a little giving him sorry eyes but he just smiles.

"Happy New year" the voice shouts and everyone bounces into the air yelling sweet things. Bradley grabs me by the arm and pulls me away from our small group.
"Happy New year" Bradley tells me and I smile back grabbing his suit in my sweaty palms and pulling him towards me.
"Happy New year" I say before kissing him with my drunken mind. I know for a facts that if I was sober this would not be happening. But now it had and there was no taking it back. I didn't want to take it back. I was falling, no I had fallen for him. I had fallen for Bradley O'Connor.
