I looked into the mirror at my New Year's Eve outfit. My short maroon dress fit nicely on my curvy body. I looked in the mirror at myself. I twirled around in my heeled booties. Billy's arm wrapped around my waist to spin my face to his. I smiled up at him. He gently kissed me.
"Stop,Your gonna get lipstick on you." I giggled. He rolled his eyes.
"That's not the only place your lipsticks gonna be on me." He smirked.
Billy had been staying at my house for the whole rest of Christmas break. It was a lot of fun. I really liked having him here. Even the nights he didn't want to have sex it was nice to have someone to just sleep next to. For someone who had a reputation of being a player, he really liked to cuddle. I liked having him here a lot.
"Are you ready?" I asked with my arms still around his neck. He nodded.
"Great then let's go." I smiled.
    I patted his chest and walked towards the door. Billy grabbed my hand and followed me.
  We got into his car and he put on his radio. We drove at his normal fast speed to the party. When we turned onto the block we saw the house that had the bright lights. I squealed slightly in excitement. I heard Billy chuckle as he squeezed my hand.
   "Excited?" Billy asked laughing.
"I'm sorry it's just I haven't been around a bunch of people in a while." I shrugged and giggled.
    "What about me? You got to hang out with me." Billy said pouting, sticking out his bottom lip. I patted the side of his face.
"Of course I had fun with you. But I would like to see my friends too." I said kissing the tip of his nose.
   He rolled his eyes and took off his seatbelt as he parked. I popped out of the car and walked around to the pavement. I stood a little bit in front of Billy and extended my hand. He took it gladly and we walked towards the door. We entered the house and the warmth was very inviting. I quickly noticed Billy had dropped my hand. I looked from  my hand to him. He  didn't seem to notice so I thought nothing of it. He placed his hand on the small of my back. I scanned the room for Nancy and Jonathan. I spotted them in the corner of the room by the window.
    "Hey I'm gonna go say hi to Nancy." I spoke up to Billy. He nodded.
  I skipped over to Nancy waving. She saw me and smiled brightly. When I reached her i was engulfed in a tight hug.
   "Uh I missed you!" Nancy said into my ear.
"I missed you too." I said squeezing her.
Billy POV
I watched Dani trot over to her friends. I smiled to myself at how excited she was to see Nancy. I approached my friends and they passed me a beer. I pretended to listen to their conversations while not taking my eyes off of Dani. The way she smiled was so beautiful. I watched her talk to Nancy and what I assumed was Nancy's boyfriend. She was absolutely beautiful. I can't express how I feel about her. I just love her so much and never want anything to hurt her.

We had arrived to the party 2 and a half hours ago. I saw Dani making her way over to me. I smiled at her as she sashayed her way to me.
   "Hi." I smiled down at her. She fluttered her long eyelashes at me. She looked up at me with her hazel eyes through thick lashes.
     "Hello." She spoke slowly, her voice dripping with lust and her breath wreaked of alcohol.
  "Oh god," I chuckled as she leaned on me.
      "Mmmm, I wanna go home."She winked. I smiled down at her drunk self.
  "Are you sure?" I asked and she slowly nodded.
  I grabbed the jacket I got her and helped her put it on. She sluggishly put it on. She started giggling.
   "What's so funny?" I asked. She put her thumb to my lips.
      "You." She said slowly. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay come on let's go." I said patting her back motioning her to move.
   "Make me." She whispered in my ear. I felt my stomach heat up.
   That's one of the sexiest things she could've said. I felt my blood start to rush downward. I suddenly threw her over my shoulder gaining a squeal from her. She started giggling as I walked her to my car.

Once we got home Dani threw her jacket off and rushed towards the bathroom. I followed her quickly and held her hair back as she vomited. I rubbed her back and tried to console her. She turned her head to me when she stopped barfing. She rested her head on her crossed arms over the toilet.
   "Are you ashamed of me?" She asked quietly. I was shocked. Why would she think that?
  "What?! Of course not?! Why would you think that!?" I said scooting closer to her and rubbing her shoulders.
      "When we got to the party... you stopped holding my hand when we got inside." She said sadly. I hadn't even noticed. I felt horrible for making her feel bad.
   "No, I'm sorry babe. I didn't even realize. I love you, I could never be ashamed of you." I said brushing a piece of hair from her face. She smiled at me.
      "I love you too. And that's hard for me. I try to be a stone wall because my dad made me feel like I should always be okay. But you, you make me feel.... mmmm." She said smiling with her eyes closed.
  I smiled. I kissed her forehead and carried her to her bedroom. I helped her change into pajamas and went to get her a glass of water. When I came back she was sound asleep. I smiled to myself and kissed her temple. She smiled slightly. I took off my shirt and jeans and crawled into bed next to her. As I settled in Dani curled up and cuddled me. I smiled and drifted off to sleep.
