Be My Once in a Lifetime
It was New Year’s Eve, our first together. We were at an event in the city, tickets gifted to us by my family. My face was flushed, my cheeks warm, but all I could do was smile. I couldn’t stop if I tried. I took another sip of champagne, the bubbles bursting on my tongue as the cool liquid refreshed me before adding to the hazy, dreamlike sensations I felt, tingling through my body all the way to my fingertips. I returned my glass to the table, giggling as my eyes met his.
‘You’re drunk.’ He smiled, pulling me close, hands moving over my hips.
I snorted. ‘Sir, I am not. How dare you!’ Mocking, not even remotely upset at the accusation. I beamed up at him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. We were standing by our table, close to the edge of the dancefloor, swaying, not dancing, just holding each other close, his fingertips slowly tracing up and down my spine, the low back of my dress giving him access, my skin tingling. I slipped my fingers into the hair at the nape of his neck, feeling him shudder slightly. I couldn’t believe he was mine.
‘You’re beautiful.’ He looked so deeply into my eyes, I felt like he could see what I was thinking. ‘Marry me.’ He asked, his voice soft and low. My heart pounded in my chest. I exhaled softly, gazing up at him, my lips curling to a smile, blushing at his words.
‘You already asked me. I already said yes.’ I giggled.
‘I can’t help it. I had to ask you again… especially when you look like this and you’re here with me.’ He held me tight before spinning me around gently, the soft green fabric of my long dress swirling around my legs. I came back to his chest with a slight bump and another giggle as his hands circled my waist. ‘You are so beautiful.’ He brought his lips close to mine. ‘Marry me.’ He asked again, genuine and tender.
‘Harvey…’ My breath caught in my throat before another quiet sigh escaped me. ‘I can’t wait to marry you.’ Our lips met. I was lost to him, wanting to feel his arms around me for as long as I could.
The above is an excerpt from my long fic, The Words We Never Say, New Year's Eve for Lyra and her Harvey, and I can't stop thinking about it, so much so that I'm thinking it may be the basis for my April one-shot. In the meantime, I asked the super lovely, sweet and incredibly talented @sunshinecovey to bring Lyra and her Harvey to life. I think they look stunning. Once again, Sunny was able to capture everything perfectly. Thank you so much for working with me again!
