THERE WERE ONLY TEN MINUTES LEFT UNTIL MIDNIGHT. Claire was holding the New Years Eve party at her party and most of the cast was there. Along with some of the makeup artists and wardrobe designers.

Claire walked over to Emerson with a grin, "Quick question," she started, Emerson turned towards Claire, "Who is going to be your New Years kiss?"

Emerson rolled her eyes, "Claire-"

"Em," she started, "You know who I'm thinking of?"

"Who?" Emerson asked, "Paul?"

Claire nodded her head with a smile, "Come on, Em," she started, "You two clearly have some chemistry together."

"Claire," Emerson started, "Stop, nothing is going to happen between the us,"

"Mhm," Claire mumbled, "Its almost midnight,"

"And?" Emerson asked.

Claire looked at her with a mischievous look, "You only live once, Emmy," Claire winked before walking over to Paul who was in the corner talking to Ian.

Emerson felt her heart stop and she quickly grabbed a margarita and took a long sip of the drink. She looked at the clock and swallowed.

Nina walked over towards her with a worried look on her face, "Em, you okay?"

Emerson jumped when she heard Nina, "Yeah, Claire just wants me to uh... kiss Paul."

Nina smiled, "Aw, that's cute!" Nina started, "You guys look cute together but don't stress it out, it's New Years Eve,"

Emerson held onto to her drink, "I know but with what's going on lately-"

Nina shook her head, "Paparazzi are never going to change. Don't pay attention plus if your ex thinks you two are together then at least you upgraded."

Emerson let out a laugh as soon as Paul approached which made her turn a little red. Emerson turned to Paul with a smile with midnight approaching in less than 3 minutes.

"Hey Em," Paul said awkwardly,

"Hey Paul," Emerson greeted him, "Look, we don't have to do this,"

"No, it's cool. It's New Years after all."

"You're right," Emerson smiles, "Plus it doesn't mean anything," When Emerson looked at the clock it read 11:59 pm and Claire was already starting to countdown to midnight.

Emerson set down her drink and stood in front of Paul, whose cheeks were slightly pink, she Claire yelled "One!" The two gave each other a small kiss on the lips.
