Drake: what do you mean you're
not coming?
Nicki: I mean, I'm staying at
home. Love you, have fun xo
Nicki threw her phone to the
bottom of her bed and sunk back into her covers. Every new years eve, Nicki would meet up with all her friends and go to Times Square to celebrate, but she was not feeling it this year. All she wanted to do was lie in bed and lounge around. She had just found a good movie to watch when her stomach rumbled and she decided to order something. She was a quarter way through the
movie when the door knocked.
"Mmm, my pizza must be
here" Scurrying out of her room, grabbing her dressing gown and purse on
the way.
"That'll be $10.15
cents" Nicki not bothering to look at the pizza boy, took the pizza box
and slapped $20 in his hand. She turned around and kicked the door shut with
her foot.
She walked back up the stairs.
Drake re-opened the door and quietly shut it behind him. He silently thanked
God she didn't have creaking steps. She was sat on the right side so he could
jump on the bed and that's he did.
"Holy shit!" Nicki
screamed, pulling the pizza box to her chest. "What are you doing
here?"
"Spending the new year
with my best friend"
"Aww, you didn't have
to"
"Nah I did, so what we
doing?"
"Well, I was going to
watch a shit load of movies and eat pizza"
"Well let me get myself
ready" Drake stood up and took off his clothes, leaving him in his boxer
shorts, and jumped under the covers.
"Pass us a slice
then"
"Your
mother's so stupid she exercises when she could just get like, liposuction or
something!"
"Your
mother's so old that her breast milk is powdered. You breast-feed like
this"
Nicki stopped laughing and wiped the tears from her eyes. "What time is it?"
"11:55" Drake
checked his phone.
"We have to do the
countdown, let me get a bottle of wine" She ran out the room with her junk
food in her hands.
"Two minutes left!"
Drake shouted. Nicki put the wine and glasses under her armpits and ran as fast
as she could back upstairs.
She put the bottle down on her
side of the bed and handed Drake a glass. After pouring some in Drake's glass,
she poured hers. "3,2,1"
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
They clinked their glasses together and took a swing. Then there was
silence.
"Where's the
fireworks?" Nicki looked out the window and saw nothing.
"I don't know" Drake
finished his glass and flicked to the news channel. "My phone's fast,
we've still got a minute"
Nicki put her half empty glass
down and got comfy under the covers again. "And the countdown starts
again" They laughed.
"Countdown time.
10,9,8," The news anchor announced.
"You know there's no one
I would rather spend the new year with" Drake said.
"Me neither"
"3,2,1" Each second her face inched closer to his, her lips pressed against his softly. And she smiled when she pulled away.
"Happy new year babe"

And happy new year to all you
