TAYLOR'S POV
It was finally New years! I wore the ring Tom gave me every day. I litteraly love it, It's amazing!
I sadly can't spend new years with Tom because my mom won't let me. She said that New year is important and that everyone should start their new year with the most important people in their lives. Obviously Tom for me but I didn't want to sound bitchy infront of my parents.
It's around 2 pm and I'm home smoking a ciggarete. My parents are in the living room but they're always to busy to check on me. my window was open so the smell of tobacco won't overtake the air in my room. I took a drag of my ciggarete while looking at my phone.
"Can i have a drag?" Tom said over phone.
I forgot to mention that we were on a video call.
(I'm not sure if Video calls were actually possible in 2010 but let's ignore that..)
"hmm no. Don't you have your ciggaretes hidden somewhere?" I said looking at him. Only his eyes were shown looking at me on the phone.
"I ran out." He said fixing his camera so I could see him a bit better. He was in the gym, must I say private gym.
"Too bad.." I said looking at him smilling. He was shirtless wearing black shorts. He looked really hot at that moment sweating.
He glanced at me as he squat down and grabbed one of the heavy weights. I looked at him do that and I was a bit shocked. Was he really gonna lift all that? There was like a whole 100 kg in that.
He looked at the camera. "Be quiet and don't distract me, got it?" He said waiting for my answer.
"okay." Was all I could answer.
He nodded before his attention turned to the heavy weight he was gonna lift. He took a deep breath and shut his eyes before he lifted the weight and straightened his back. His eyes were still closed as his head fall back the slightest. He held it up for a few seconds before he started lifting the heavy weight. My jaw fell open watching him do that. Him doing that looked so fucking hot. He looked at the camera as he was lifting the weight 3 to 5 times. He smirked at me before he turned back to the weights. After a moment he bent down and let it drop to the floor making a loud sound.
"How was that?" He asked me sweating. He came closer to the camera and took a towel wipping his sweat off.
"You should do that more often while I'm watching." I said before I took a drag of my ciggarete. I was smirking the whole time thinking of him doing that.
"on it." He said smilling as he threw the towel away and took a bottle of water taking a sip out of it.
We talked for some time while he was working out. He showed me some stuff and told me how to use them.
"Taylor!" I heard my mom yell comming closer to my bedroom door.
"Be quiet!" I said to Tom and put my phone down. I threw my ciggarete out of the window and shut it. I quickly took some spray and sprayed over my room as usual. Just then my mom came in.
"What?" I said in a annoyed tone while sitting on my bed looking at her.
"We'll be going to your aunt for new years later at 7 pm. Please dress nice, your cousins are gonna be there too." My mom said looking at me. I was wearing a oversized shirt and some sweat pants. It was freaking cold in this house!
"Okay, cool. Now get out." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
My mom closed the door and I waited a minute to make sure it's safe for me to continue talking to Tom. I took my phone in my hands to check on what Tom was doing. I saw him unfocused only his eyes shown while looking at the phone.
"Tom, what are you watching?" I asked. His eyebrows squint together as I saw him tapping some stuff.
"I was watching youtube," He said.
"Where are you gonna be for New years today?" I asked him curious. I put my phone against my pillow so I wouldn't have to hold it. I relaxed on my stomach.
He took a moment before he answered. "Probably in the centre. It's usually filled up for New years and they shoot fireworks sometimes." He said moving his camera down a bit, his full face showing.
"that's cool. I have to be with my annoying family." I said slamming my face in one of my pillows. "I wish I could spend it with you." I said, my voice muffled because of the pillow.
"I wish that too." He said leaning his phone on a water bottle. "Maybe next year."
"I hope. I can't spend another New years with my family." I said pulling away from the pillow and looking up at the camera. "My cousins always brag about how rich her family is just because they are a little bit more wealthy than my family."
Tom was now in his office, He must've went there while I was talking to my mom. He was still shirtless leaning his back on his office chair. "Hmm.. I'm still richer than both." He smirked.
"I'm gonna wear the jewerly you gave me." I said looking at him.
"Why is that?"
"The things you bought me are expensive as hell, my cousins parents wouldn't buy her that." I said playing with my ring that Tom gave me.
"Why not say that I gave you those stuff?" He asked a bit dissapointed.
"I never mentioned telling them that my parents bought me that, They'll just asume. If they ask me tho, I will tell them that it was your gift."
"As you should." He smirked looking at me over the phone.
TOM'S POV
11:09 PM
I was walking around the town of Hamburg not really knowing where to go. My friends were with their girlfriends on New years so that left me alone.Fuck Taylor's parents for not letting us spend New years together like other couples.
I was alone. I didn't talk with my parents for a long time and the thing about Layla kept me separated from Bill. It still hurt me thinking about Layla and how her life ended so quick. I shook it off.
I continued walking around the streets my hands in the pockets of my jeans. I wore a white T-shirt, a red and white plaid shirt over it and some light blue oversized jeans. I also had a coat over it so I wouldn't freeze since it was about 5°C. I had my headband on, some rings and obviously my rolex watch. Also some gloves!
I had nowhere to fucking go. I sat on a bench hoping that time would fly by quick. I just have to wait for the clock to hit midnight and then go home, not that hard.
I can't believe it's gonna be 2011 in less than an hour, that's pretty interessting. My birthday is gonna be in 245 days on 1st September, I'll be 25. Time flies by fast.
I continued thinking about my life on that bench for at least 30 minutes.
TAYLOR'S POV
I was sitting at a table with my stupid cousins. I was wearing a green dress with a slit. It was a off-shoulder long sleeve dress. My hair was straight and I kept my make-up simple but pigmented enough to keep it professional. My stupid cousins Selena and Angela were looking at my jewerly with a jealous look in their eyes. fucking annoying. Not my fault they couldn't get a hot rich boyfriend.
"Did your parents buy you this?" My cousin said reffering to my Rolex watch.
"No, my boyfriend did." I said looking at Selena my second cousin.
"How old is he?" She asked. I raised my eyebrow.
"none of your business.."
She looked at me with a disguisted face. God this girl! "I believe you bought it in a fake jewerly shop. No way that's real gold."
"It is real gold, my man wouldn't give me some fake shit." I said in a louder tone.
"is your man even real? That's clearly fake! What's even his name?" This bitch.
"He is real unlike your face." I rolled my eyes. "His name is Tom."
I saw her face becoming slightly more angry when I called her face fake. She was full of plastic! "Tom? For which company does he work?"
And here we are.. a quad zillion questions!
TOM'S POV
11:47 PM
It's Almost midnight. Everyone was gathering in the centre where the countdown is going on till midnight hits. I went there at around 11:55.
I leaned my back against some wall at the very corner of the crowd. No one could spot me there. I lit up a ciggarete that I went to buy after me and Taylor ended the video call. I took a drag from the ciggarete enjoying the taste it creates. I slowly exhailed the smoke while looking around the crowd for any familliar faces.
I spotted a few teenage girls who were looking at me while giggling. I looked away and took another drag from my ciggarete. I know I'm attractive but damn.. I don't need approval.
I continued looking around spotting a few kids that I teach looking at me. When they saw that I had noticed them they waved at me and since I didn't want to appear rude I waved back slightly. I exhailed the smoke and before I knew it my ciggarete died. I shoved it on the floor and looked at the countdown. 2 minutes and 23 seconds left.
I pulled out my phone to text Taylor.
"How's with your family?" I texted.
"HORRIBLE. I would rather kill myself than be here! My cousins have a million questions after I told them that you bought me that jewerly" she sent with the crying emoji at the end.
I smirked slightly hearing that her cousins want to know more about me.
"That's cute. Only a minute left."
"yeah, I have to go. My mom keeps saying that I should comunicate more with my fucking family!" She texted back.
"fuck them. Happy early new years." I texted before i shut my phone and put it in my pocket.
I looked up at the countdown. Only 30 seconds left.
I relaxted and put my hands back in my pockets as people counted down the time left.
"30."
"29."
"28."
"27."
"26." I would've stopped counting by now.
"25."
"24."
"23."
"22."
"21." This was taking too long.
"20."
"19.
"18."
"17."
"16."
"15." I'll miss this year..
"14."
"13."
"12."
"11."
"10!" 10 seconds to go, fuck.
"9!"
"8!"
"7!" People have to relax a bit.
"6!"
"5!" Oh god, 5 seconds..
"4!"
"3!"
"Hello brother." I turned around.
"2!"
"Bill.." My eyes widened.
"1!"
"FROHES NEUES JAHR! (Happy new year!)" everyone yelled.
"happy new year, Tom. It's important to start the new year Good." Bill said smirking.
I just stared at him with wide eyes, my brows furrowed.
I definitely didn't start my new years with the most important person in my life.
