December 31st
Ben's POV:
I stood in front of a window wall overlooking the city. It was snowing lightly and the whole world looked like a glowing snow globe. Erica went to the bathroom so I was all alone at the moment. It was silent. I was able to look around at my home, light up and snowy. I watched as people walked by, unaware Erica and I were up there. She walked back in and to me.
"This spot taken?"
"Saving it." I smiled.
"For who?"
"You." I kissed her forehead.
I put my arm around her shoulders and she rested her head on mine.
"You know what time it is E?"
"11:55?"
"Yep. December 31st."
"Huh. I guess it is."
"Can I tell you something Erica?"
"Anything."
"It's 5 minutes till midnight... and I'm glad you're standing here. Next to me."
"Me too."
"Hug, marry, punch?"
"You, you, and uh you." She said with a light punch to my shoulder.
"You can choose people not in the room Erica."
"I know." She smirked. "You?"
"You, you, and payback, you." I smiled and fake punched her arm.
"You can choose people not in the room Ben." She mocked.
"I know. But where's the fun in that?"
"Funny."
"Thanks."
I turned to face her as I mentally counted down.

I leaned in and kissed her.
The world seemed to spin around us.
But in that moment I knew I'd be okay. As long as she was by my side through it I could do anything.
"I love you Erica."
"I love you more Ben."
"Always a competition with you."
"Darn straight."
"Maybe, but I love you the most."
"You can't do that."
"Too late."
Comment things you want me to write about cuz I'm running out of ideas.
