London POV
December 31st, 11:00pm.
The party started at 10pm. I was fashionably late, even though it was hosted at our house.
Carter went along with his plan and threw a New Year' Eve party. Everyone was invited except the parents - they went on a trip to Paris.
The music and people were so loud, I could here them from Shadow and I's bedroom.
I decided to get ready on my own this time.
Ever since I've arrived here, April, Nazzi, and Blair would always help me get prepared if we were going to an event. But since they were busy helping Carter host the party, I got ready on my own.
Looking in the mirror once more, I smiled to myself, content with the outfit I chose to wear.
I was dressed in a plain black dress. I paired it with the charm bracelet Shadow given to me, and the necklace Carter gave to me.
I wore my favorite ankle boots, patterned, see through tights and square glasses, since I was aiming for a nerdy, yet chic look.
"London, you ready?" Carter asked from the other side of the door.
I threw my hair up into a messy bun, and made my way to the door.
"Yeah." I said, swinging the door open.
Carter looked me up and down, and gave me the nod of approval.
"I like the new look." He said, smiling.
"Thanks." I said, winking at him.
"Alright, let's go. Everyone is waiting on us." He said, leading me down the stairs.
Blair, Chuck, Nazzie, Noah, April, Jett and Shadow were all sitting outside in the backyard.
"Damn London." Chuck whistled, making me laugh,
"I agree. You look amazing." Blair added. I noticed her baby bump was showing even more. She should be around four months now.
The garden was filled with people drinking and dancing. Some were already passed out!
"Wow, a lot of people showed up, huh?" I said, taken back.
"Of course, it's my party!" Carter said cockily.
I simply shook my head at him.
"How much time left 'till 12?" Nazzie asked.
"50 minutes left." Noah answered, looking at his watch.
"Don't you dare leave my sight Chuck." Blair commanded.
"Why don't you want him to leave your sight?" I asked.
I knew Blair was possessive, but she never stopped people from having fun before.
"Because we need to have our New Year's kiss together." She informed me, before gazing lovingly at him.
"What does it mean, if you kiss at 12?" I asked. I'm a bit new when it comes to this romance stuff.
"It means," Shadow stood and began walking over to me, he stopped right next to me.
"They'll be together. . ." He whispered, I focused my gaze forward.
"Forever. . ." He said, his breath fanning my cheek. I felt my face begin to heat up. Is it just me or is it getting hot in here? Someone open a window.
"Get a room!" Noah shouted, making everyone laugh.
Shadow sat back down, and I made sure to keep my head down, so no one could see me blushing.
Suddenly, I felt my chair being pulled. Within seconds, I was right next to Shadow.
I looked at him confused.
"What-"
He cut me off,
"I want my forever kiss to be with you." He whispered in my ear, making me blush even more.
"Mhmm. . ." Was all I could say. He just smelt so good...like chocolates...mhmm.
"I'm going to get a drink." Shadow said, standing up. Snapping me out of my daze.
As soon as he stood up a petite brunette, around 5'8 began running towards him and jumped on him.
She gave him a bone crushing hug.
What the fuck?
"Vanessa." Shadow sighed, he seemed nervous.
He should be!
Who is she? And why is she hugging my husband?
"It's been so long! How are you?" She asked sweetly. She let go when she realized he wasn't hugging her back.
She seemed like a nice person but too bad I hate her.
He cleared his voice.
"Um, good. How about you?" He asked, worry evident in his voice.
I folded my arms and sat up straight, waiting for him to introduce me. HIS WIFE!
"I'm great, now that I know we'll be together at 12." She smiled shyly, twirling her hair.
What the hell?
"Shits about to get real!" Chuck laughed. They all stopped what they were doing to watch the show.
I waited patiently, for my dear husband to introduce me.
"Why would we be together?" Shadow asked, simply digging his grave deeper.
"You don't remember? You promised me our forever kiss when you took my virginity."
She whispered the last part, as if no one could hear her.
This better have happened before we got married!
"Oh. . .yeah." Shadow ran his hand through his hair anxiously.
"Yes! You did." She folded her arms.
"You forgot didn't you?" She shouted, staring daggers at him.
"Of course not! I uh, I was looking for you so I could tell you I can't, because I got married."
He stumbled over his words. That liar!
"You got married?!" She yelled, her mouth open with shock.
"Yeah, this this my wife," He pointed to me.
"London Pierce." I finished.
"Oh! Pierce?" Her eyes widened.
"Yes, Pierce." I smirked, knowing that just my last name could make her quake in fear.
"I'm so sorry London." She smiled nervously.
"And you! I hope you rot in hell!" She shouted to Shadow.
She spun on her heels and stomped off. I couldn't care less about where she goes.
I was so angry - No, fuming! He lied right in front of me!
"You liar!" I shoved him.
"London, let me ex-"
I cut him off, "I don't care Shadow! How would you feel if I kissed someone else at 12?"
I clenched my fist and fought back the tears.
"I would kill them." He said sternly, "But I wasn't going to kiss her!"
"Whatever." I snapped, before walking away. I was so angry, I wanted to hit something.
Preferably Shadow. . .
I marched throughout the house, looking for a private place for me to cool down.
I finally found my way to the garage, with Shadow trailing behind me.
"London wait!" Shadow stopped the door from being slammed and walked inside, then gently closed the door behind him.
I was pacing back and forth, trying to cool down.
The room was silent, neither of us knew what to say.
I was still fuming, I needed to take my anger out on something, someone.
Every horrible thing Shadow has done to me was racing through my head, gassing the fire.
"London. . ." Shadow took a step closer. I took the opportunity and did the only thing that could calm me down.
I slapped him. Hard.
The sound echoed through the room.
HIs eyes were widened with shock, his mouth hanging open. Shock turned to pure anger.
He turned towards me and glared at me. If looks could kill, I'd be 6ft under right now.
One slap wasn't enough to calm me down, so I went in for another one.
Just as my hand was about to make contact with his face, he gripped my wrist.
He pushed me until I was pinned against the wall. I struggled against his tight grip but it wasn't any use.
His lips were just inches from mine, his minty breath fanning my face.
"Don't you ever slap me again!" He snapped.
"I hate you." I bit back, angrily.
He chuckled before saying,
"The feeling is mutual babe."
My eyes traveled to his plump, pink lips. I was itching to kiss him right now, to be even closer to him.
The tension was unbearable, the silence was unbearable, and being this close to him was unbearable.
I couldn't handle the tension and I knew he couldn't either.
I couldn't help but bite my lips, his eyes looked like they were fighting against a decision whilst staring at my lips.
I don't know what came over me because the next thing I know, my lips were on his.
His lips were warm and soft.
The familiar butterflies fluttered in my stomach, his hands gripped my wrist even tighter, causing a hiss to escape my lips. He stiffened before stepping away from me.
He doesn't want me.
I felt tears well up.
"Oh." I whispered, taking a step closer to the door.
Just as I was about to take another step, he pulled me back and pushed me against the wall.
The action was so quick that I actually felt dizzy.
In a matter of second, his lips were back on mine but this time more powerful, more passionate.
Making my cheeks heat up and my body slowly burn with desire.
I felt his hands plant themselves on my waist, it felt so right. His right hand moved up to the nape of my neck, bringing me closer, so our bodies were flushed together.
I allowed my hands to trail up his arm until they were wrapped around his shoulder.
Soon my hands were buried deep in his hair.
I kissed him back just as hard, both of us fighting for dominance.
Our lips moved in sync.
This time I parted my lips without even waiting for him to ask me for permission, his tongue explored my mouth and my own tongue feeling the pure pleasure of exploring his mouth.
His hand searched the small of my back and into my hair.
He tugged at my hair, causing my head to fall back and a moan to escape my lips.
He pulled me back and placed his lips on mine once again but this time for a small kiss.
He started trailing butterfly kisses down my jaw to the base of my neck, before sucking on it until it probably left a hickey.
Another moan escaped my lips and a groan escaped his.
His fingers trailed along my side, down my butt, down my legs - but not before giving my bum a quick squeeze. He gripped both my thighs and wrapped them around his waist.
He pushed me harder against the wall, so it was easier to hold my weight.
His lips found mine once again, his lips moved slowly, kind of like he was teasing me.
My body felt as if it was on fire. His hands found its way inside my top, massaging my stomach, whilst I gripped his shoulder.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
We automatically parted - but only our lips.
Our bodies were still sandwiched together.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Both our heads turned to the window, to see fireworks and people screaming and making out.
We turned our heads towards each other, so we were inches away from each other.
"Happy New Year. . ." We whispered to each other.
Glancing down at our position, my face reddened.
Looking back at Shadow, I noticed his lips were swollen, his hair was a mess and his shirt was half risen.
I quickly unwrapped my legs and placed them gently on the floor, he calmly took a step back.
Wasn't I supposed to be angry with him?
What the hell just happened?
Questions raced through my mind, giving me a slight head ache.
I quickly ran to the door, Shadow right behind me. I ignored everyone calling our names and ran upstairs into our bedroom.
Before I could slam the door, a pair of strong arms were wrapped around my waist.
I was spun around to find I was face-to-face with Shadow.
"Why do we always run, everytime we kiss? It's either me or you." He whispered.
"I don't know. . ." I whispered back, smiling.
"We're husband and wife. We have the right to kiss." He smirked before kissing my cheek.
I felt the butterflies once again.
"And. . ." He kissed my lips, "Especially after that kiss. . ." He pecked my lips, "You're definitely going to be. . ." Again he kissed my lips, "Mrs Winters forever." He winked.
I glanced down at the bracelet.
"Who said I want to be Mrs. Winters forever?" I asked, quirking an eyebrow.
"C'mon London, who doesn't want all of this?" He gestured to his body, making me roll my eyes.
I lightly slapped his cheeks and instead of laughing; his eyes darkened and his hands clenched into a fist.
"London don't ever slap me again." He deadpanned.
Where did that come from? We were having such a good time, why does he always have to ruin things?
"I'll do what I want." I said sternly.
"Oh really? But let me warn you, I can't stand people who disrespect me." He said quietly.
He was making my blood boil.
"Do you think you're the king and everyone has to respect you? Last time I checked your just a gang leader." I said, downplaying his masculinity.
"A gang leader who isn't afraid to do anything, even if it means hurting my own wife - then so be it."
He shrugged, his hands loosened around my waist.
"You're a monster." I snapped, suddenly angry.
"I'm just warning you, next time you slap me, you better be ready for the consequences." He warned.
"This is the first time I've ever heard or seen a husband threatening his wife!"
I was taken back by what he just said.
"Let's just say. . . we're unique." He spoke mockingly.
"I forget sometimes that this is an arranged marriage, where I was forced to marry a monster like you." I shoved him away from me and ran out the room.
Since all the guest were in the garden and they are about to leave, I decided to sleep in the living room today.
I made my way downstairs, and into the living room. Brushing all the things off the sofa.
"Where are you going?" He sighed.
"Anywhere away from you!" I shouted.
"London come back here now!" He commanded.
He must actually think he's the king or something!
"Screw you Shadow!"
