CHAPTER LXV

December

It was now December 31st and our house was buzzing for the New Year's Eve feast.

My family decided to go all out this year since we were complete, with Gemma and Michael who didn't spend New Year's with us for the last few years and of course, with Louis and a couple of our relatives as well.

Chance was enjoying all of the attention from my relatives as they were meeting him for the first time. I could see him laughing along with my cousins, the inner Louis in him surfacing.

"Hi." I heard a voice whisper in my ear before a pair of arms wrapped themselves around my waist.

"Are you enjoying the party?" I asked Louis as I leaned back, my back and his front touching while my head settled on his shoulder.

"I am, your aunts are hilarious and your uncles were big fans." He chuckled, placing a kiss on my cheek. "Are you enjoying yourself? You've been here for over an hour by yourself."

"I am." I smiled as I turned around to face him. "I'm having fun watching my family, we haven't seen each other in years and I just like to take a step back and enjoy it, you know?"

"I love you." He said as I placed my hands on the back of his neck.

"I love you, too." I leaned up a little bit to kiss him and he gladly kissed me back but we were interrupted by my brother.

"Hey, no PDA, that's still my little sister, you know." Harry playfully scolded making the people who heard him laugh. "Seriously, though, it's fun seeing you like this, happy and in love."

"Thanks Harry." I smiled at him and untangled myself from Louis. "Where have you been?"

"You know, it's hard when you have cousins who are hot but then you remember that that's your cousin. I had to stop myself from thinking dirty things about Holly over there." He moved his eyes to the left in attempt to point her.

"You're disgusting!" I exclaimed as I smack him on the chest. "But you do know that that's our niece and she's 19. Keep your pedophile and incest thoughts to yourself, you sick bastard."

"But she's hot." Harry whispered as he leaned closer to us. "Don't you think so, Louis?"

"Um..." Louis started as he looked at me. I glared at him and crossed my arms across my chest.

"You can answer that later when Vee isn't listening in." Harry winked making me flip him off. "Wow, what a good role model for your kid, Vee."

"I hate you." I grumbled as I started to walk away but he spun me around and flicked my forehead.

"I'm kidding you wanker." He laughed. "Now I'll go find myself a hot girl that isn't our relative, I heard Charlie is bringing some of his friends over."

"Why is he still single?" Louis laughed as we returned to our previous position, my back pressed to his front while his arms were placed across my stomach.

"He's having a hard time picking. His last relationships ended because he found out they were using him for his money or his looks." I said sadly as we watched my prancing brother.

"Poor lad." I can hear Louis' frown. "I got to go check on something first, I'll be right back."

"But it's 10 minutes to midnight." I pouted as he unwrap his arms from me.

"I'll be quick love." He promised, giving me a peck on the lips before disappearing through the crowd of my relatives.

I walked towards Chance who was with my cousins and a few of my aunts, chatting away happily. I took a seat on the empty single sofa. My dress, which was a glittery gold mid-thigh cocktail dress that Louis insisted that I wear, he said I looked hot in it and I gave him the satisfaction.
