The look in Lucy's eyes answered my question before I even ask it. 'He's here isnt he.' I say quietly, turning my face to the floor. 'Kel, Im sorry! What could I do? He is one of Harry's oldest friends, he had to be here!' she pleads. I shouldn't be annoyed. Harry, Lucy's husband, had known Tom for years. He introduced me to Tom last year, and when we broke up after a few months the couple were there the whole way. What did I expect? Of course Tom was going to be there, and I would just have to get over it; and enjoy the night. 'Look' Lucy said, as if reading my mind, 'Its New Years Eve! We only have like 45 minutes till midnight. Just try to act normal and have fun! I need to go and say hey to people, but come and find me if you need me. Talk to people, Kel, see what happens!' she smiles and turns away. I gulp down a mouthful of the glass of wine in my hand and look around the room. In the corner, I see Harry talking to a group of men; laughing. He looks up and waves at me, and I grin and wiggle my fingers back. Sensing his movement, one of his friends glances up and over to me. My breath catches in my throat as our eyes lock. He rememberes everything, I know it.
He says something to Harry, and starts to weave his way through the crowds of people towards me. I try to steady my breathing so that he doesnt realise the effect he still has on me. We had only broken up becuase we were both so busy, me starting my new job at the school and him with his acting - but I wondered if he remembered that. Suddenly, he is right in front of me. 'Hey' his silky voice said, sending shivers down my spine as it always had. 'Hi' I smile, taking in his apperance. He looks gorgeous in a grey suit, with a white shirt. He had grown his beard again, but it suited him; he looked good. I register his eyes raking over my body; taking in what he see's. The tight black dress I had chosen for tonight shows off my curves, and pairs perfectly with the bright red heels I have on. The shoes match the colour of my lipstick exactly, and my long blonde curls are pulled into a loose bun on my head; with wisps hanging down around my face, framing it. His eyes eventually reach mine, and I blush a little. How could he be still making me feel like this, after all these months of not seeing him? 'How are you? You look beautiful' he asks quietly. 'Im good, how are you? And thank you, you dont look to bad your-self' I smile, and we continue to talk. After a while, Tom says 'Congratulations on your promotion by the way, Harry told me about it. You always wanted to be Head of Year didnt you?' he grins, and Im surprised. He remembered my dream, and at the thought I feel butterflies line my stomach. 'Thank you, and yes I did! I cant believe I achieved it, but I did' I reply. Across the room I catch Lucy's eye and she raises her eyebrows at me. I smile and turn my attention back to Tom. 'But really, the congratulations should be to you. You have achieved so much Tom..well done!' I compliment him, and think I see a slight blush cross his cheeks. 'Thank you' he says, and after a slight pause continues, 'Kel, I really want to-' he starts to say, until he is interupted by a loud noise.
'TEN, NINE, EIGHT-'
People start to count down as we both realise that it is nearly midnight and nearly the end of the year. Tom places his hand on the small of my back, guiding me so we can just about to see the massive television that was showing the countdown on 'Big Ben'.
'SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE-'
'HAPPY NEW YEAR' is all that can be heard in the room, and all around us couples kiss and raise their glasses to each other. Tom's hand that was placed on my back slides around my waist and he turns me towards him. 'Happy New Year Kel' he whispers, his face very close to mine. 'Happy New Year Tom' I breath back, my voice barely above a whisper. Our lips press together, and I feel a smile play on my lips as Tom takes a sharp breath. I push my arms up around to his neck, and tangle my fingers in his hair. We break apart, both a little breathless. I lean my head against his chest, feeling his heart beating fast beneath his shirt. 'Can we have another go Kel? At us?' he says in a hushed voice. I look up at his smiling face, and feel my heart lift. 'I think we could do that, in fact, I would like that quite a lot' I grin, and he pushes a small kiss to my forehead and pulls me into a tight hug.
I don't know what that new year will bring, but I can only hope that every moment would include Mr. Tom Hiddleston.
