To read this story in Heather's POV: link
--------------------------------------------------------------
I have no idea whether to call 2010 a great 年 或者 not. There are so many things that happened to me, TDWT, the volcano, Heather…
"Alejandro!"
I looked up from the almost-midnight garden of wet 草 and melted snow, and saw Owen staring up at me. Holy crap , he had actually called me Alejandro. Usually he called me Al, and I hated it, but after Josè died (I have had many deaths in my family, even 更多 so than Duncan. I have missed school for funerals 更多 than anybody else.), I let it slide to remind me of him.
"Hi, Owen." I smiled. "Happy almost New Years."
"Don't 你 wanna say that to someone else..?"
I know he's talking about Heather. But I really don't want to tell her how I feel, at least not right now..
I spy a stand full of sparklers.
"Can I have one?" I ask. The guy hands me some sparklers, and I start walking back to Owen when I see her.
Heather was sitting against a tree, her eyes directed to the sky. I walked up to her, putting the sparkler to her ear.
She screams. I laugh. You've got a lot of nerve sneaking on a girl." Heather frowns at me.
"Indeed I do, chica. But that isn't what I'm here for." I smiled at her.
"I don't need to hear a Happy New Years Song, especially not from you."
I could have puked at that. "Ugh! I'm not some 圣诞节 caroler."
Heather laughs at me. "And people call 你 a sweet guy."
"I can be!"
I've gotten a lot nicer since TDWT. I mean, after being practically shunned after what I did on that wretched programa, I guess I've learned that being "the arch villain" will cost 你 a lot of things: friends, a million dollars, and if it wasn't Heather, the one 你 love.
"What is it?" I looked at Heather, and she looked at me, wonder glowing in her eyes.
My heartrate sped up. Did I actually come here for nothing?? I might as well tell her tonight. Having the sense that I finally have a girlfriend might be a good way to start the year.
No. I can't say it now.."Wait a while."
I have to think. What if I say something wrong, 或者 start blabbering in Spanish? I know it's not like me to worry, but I can't just say it and be done. What I'm going to say tonight can't be too big 或者 too small..
"We're countin' down to the new year! It's now 11:59! 5! 你 do the rest, kids!"
Crap. Crapcrapcrapcrap. I have only five 秒 left. I don't know what I'm going to say, but I must make it quick.
"Heather.." I muttered, my 心 racing.
"H-huh..?" She sounds so confused…
Here goes.
"I.…I want 你 to be my girlfriend."
"Wh-wha?"
"2-!"
"I want 你 to be my girlfriend, Heather Thorn!"
"You-wha?!"
"ONE!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
I pulled her close, close enough to look deep into her eyes, but only for a 分裂, 拆分 second, because I slammed her lips onto mine after that.
I felt my face burn up and the sweet taste of apricots grace my lips.
Heather. I can think of nobody else but her right now.
How I got a pain in my 心 after an arguement. How I always got 迷失 in her eyes, her smile, her voice..how I longed to hold and 吻乐队(Kiss) her, like I am tonight. I hated her so much in the beginning..but my 心 always started to race when I saw her.
I could feel her lips reply to mine; my 心 hammered hard in my chest, so fast that both of us could hear it.
I absolutley 爱情 it.
Finally, we pulled away, our minds hazy.
"I really 爱情 you, Heather…" I mumbled.
"I 爱情 你 too…" Heather murmured, smiling at me, her cheeks rosy red.
"Happy New Year, Heather, mí amor."
Hey, at least we'll be able to remember our anniversary…
"Happy New Year, Alejandro."
