New Years Eve is on its way and since I haven’t made any plans yet, Jane asked me to celebrate with her at her sister Melanie’s place. I figured why not, I can’t spend it with Jacob or with William so this might be fun.
New Years Eve starts right after work. I take a cab out to her place, we hit the wine shop, and have a drink while we get ready to go.
We call a cab to bring us out to Melanie’s and every thing is going great. We talk and laugh the whole way.
We got off about a block away so Jane can have a cigarette before we get there.
Once inside, I get to meet her sister, her brother-in-law and a whole bunch of other people I’m probably never going to see again. The kids are playing in groups. The girls downstairs watching movies and the boys upstairs playing cops and robbers. It’s surprisingly easy to be in an environment that seems like it should be ridiculously stressful. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the two babies that are there seem to find there way to Jane and I.
All through the night William and I text back and forth, just like Jane and Tyler.
She’s really into this guy and from the text messages he sent her throughout the night he seems to be too. Mind you this is also after their first date.
I’ve talked to Jane about the way I feel about William for some time now and she told me to get it over with and tell him that I’m in-love with him, so I finally decided I would.
I’ve told William on more than one occasion that he makes it easy for me to contemplate falling for him and so I figured I’d start with that. I told him that I’m beyond falling, that I am in-love with him and he told me he felt the same. I let him go after a little while and told Jane what happened since she was waiting to hear. She seemed truly happy. Yes this surprises me! Jane doesn’t agree with my relationship at all for many reasons that make sense to her, but not to very many other people.
Either way, after the kids have been settled down the drinking begins. You name it, they had it. We were having mixed drinks and quite a few shots. Jell-o shooters were a hit, but they had very little jell-o, all you could taste was the vodka.
So, come the count down to midnight everyone is pretty happy. Since Jane and I have no one to kiss at midnight we figured we’d stay close to each other. Hugs and kisses are coming and going from every where.
At about a minute pass midnight both our phones ring and it’s the boys. They wish us both a “Happy New Year”.
Shortly after, Jane and I decide that it’s time to go home. On the way home, we were on the phone talking to our boys.
When we got home we talked about what we want in the New Year.
The night ended on a good note, William and I officially became a couple.
All in all, it was a good way to start 2009.
