One wintry Christmas Eve, you and your three friends trek out on a wild night out to celebrate Christmas. In long, glorious dresses, you and your friends look, even if you hate to admit it, stunning.
Once again, you were the only single one at Christmas and you had little expectation as to meeting someone before next year's.
The harsh winter weather battled again you all as you headed into the club.
The music blasted from all ends of the club, as hundreds of people your age partied hard into the night.
After an hour, you'd had enough. Even though your friends weren't single, they flirted like mad, whilst you stood, awkwardly third wheeling as usual.
Then, as you went to walk out of the club with your drink, you accidentally walked in to a rather tall and handsome man, in his mid-twenties.
"Sorry," you blurted out, not wanting to make eye contact. He smiled at your innocence, before walking out of the club, just like you had planned to do.
You stood on the left of the enterence as he stood on the left. You took some time to drink your champagne as the time drew closer to midnight.
"You have such mesmersing black eyes," the mysterious man said.
"Thank you?" you said.
"I'm Max."
"Aqilah," you say, shaking his hand. Your brown hair cascaded down your face, and Max couldn't help but move it to look into your eyes.
You spent the next few hours talking at the bar, and before you knew it, it was the 10 second countdown to Christmas.
Somehow, you were already falling for Max's charm, and you had a strange feeling he liked you too.
As the 10 seconds ended, everyone cheered and music started to play. In the moment, Max leaned in, kissing you on the lips. You couldn't help but smile and kiss him back.
"Merry Christmas Aqilah."
