❝ not a truther ❞

( aka the new years special )

—

HER KNUCKLES hit the door of a new hotel room. A smile on her face as she's texting her best friend. In the mist of texting, The boy opened the door. "Thank god, I'm going because who knows what Ben and Corey are doing."

"Corey doesn't seem like that type of person,"

The girl walks in and jumps onto her back on the queen sized bed. "What? Ew. I was just saying they're thinking of baking... they're both terrible at baking." Her face scrunches with disgusting on the thought.

"You should specify next time." Joshua smiles and sits on the desk chair. "Also, you're crazy early, Olivia and the others aren't coming in like two hours,"

Riley sits up on the bed white bed sheets, "You never said what time, so right as I got out of work I just came here."

Joshua joins her on the bed laying on his stomach, "Hey, we have times for a movie." He smiles picking up the remote.

As he find Disney Plus, "N-n-n-no, go to Netflix,"

"Wow, the Riley Shippman not wanting to watch a disney movie. Are you sick?" He laughs.

"We're watching Gossip Girl,"

"SO, basically there's a stalker that posts about spoiled brats online," Riley stares at him offended.

"You don't get it, I mean yeah. But it's good,"

"You said Dan was the best looking, he's not." The two are laying next to each other with their elbows supporting them.

"You have to get to season 4, that's when he gets rich and then looks better,"

"That was the most entitled thing I think I've ever heard you say," Joshua says as his head tilts.

"But it's true, and Penn Badgley hasn't aged a bit which is weird."

—

TIMES SQUARE was packed with people all scrunched up against each other.A small clump if well known people all grouped together. Joshua's hand lay comfortably on Riley's lower waist. After watching singers perform, Riley wouldn't be lying if she said her anxiety was off the charts. Her teeth were biting her lips worried as if something bad was going to happen.

"You okay?" Joshua asks her noticing her anxious knee bouncing.

A little late buddy, is what she wanted to say and what she was about to say except she caught herself. "Yeah I'm fine,"

Something inside the boy felt that wasn't true. His arms pulls her closer to him growing a smile on her face. "You liar."

"I'm just not a truther"

The faint sounds everyone counting down from 10.

10. Riley's arms wrap around his torso into a close embrace.

9. The two create lasting eye contact.

8. "I"

7. "Love."

6. "You."

5. "Too."

4. He smiles.

3. Slowly processing, Riley's lips pulling into a wide smile.

2. His head moves in a little closer to hers.

1. Joshua's lips press onto her lips within a spilt second. Their eyes close shut as Riley could feel her heart quick speeding up. Joshua's hands lay on her waist as hers move up to wrap around his neck. The kiss was short and sweet. They could feel smiles grow through the kiss and the watered out noise of cheering, "happy new year".
