My NYE Kiss
This past NYE I spent with high school friends. We all went to someoneâs house for a pre-party then went to a bar nearby. I donât have a boyfriend and for some reason, the NYEâs kiss is very important to me. I always want to have someone to kiss at midnight. So hereâs the story of my NYEâs kiss this year.
I went up to Josh, a semi cute guy, who I would already be married to if arranged marriages were real in Judaism. Our parents have always talked about us getting married. I asked him to be my kiss at midnight. He said âof course!â As everyone counts down, he grabs my face and kisses me. It was the kind of kiss you give when your just so happy you could kiss someone. I said âJeff we're getting married now!â He replied distinctly âI wouldn't mind that.â Woah there. My dad called me immediately after for his annual NYE call at 12:01AM. I walked over to the bar to take it. "Happy news Years babe!!!" He screams into the phone. I scream back "I just kissed Josh Schwartz!! "Really?? Tell him I say hi!!" He yells back. I turn around and yell at Josh: âJosh my dad says hi!!!â "Tell him I said hi back!!" He grins. He's quite the red head. I smile and turn around back to the bar. I hang up and i say to Josh, "Josh I'm really sorry I just told my dad we kissed. If anyone says anything at Monicaâs tomorrow about us..." It's an annual New Year's Day brunch event with all of the Jewish families I grew up with. We all get together at Monicaâs house on New Years Day. Both of our moms will be there and I already see his mom pulling out the wedding plans at the table. He smiles and says it's okay. He put my number in his phone and he adds a bikini next to it. I asked âwhy a bikini?â "Leave it. I like it." He says shortly. I turned my head in the confusing way my dog does when she doesn't understand and walked away.
