How my New Year's Night took an unexpected turn

This New Year’s Eve, I went to a party at a friend’s house. I hadn’t really been keeping up with grooming or self-care ever since my breakup in August, it just didn’t feel necessary. But something about this night felt different. The guy I’d been subtly flirting with for a while was going to be there, and my gut told me there was potential for something to happen. So, I decided it was time to take care of things and show up feeling confident.

When I arrived, I spotted him immediately, let’s call him X. I swear, the way his face lit up when he saw me was everything. It felt like he’d been bored until I got there, waiting for me to arrive. After greeting everyone, I walked over to him, stood next to him, and we started talking. For a moment, it was just the two of us in our own little bubble.

We made eye contact, both smiling, and he said, “You look absolutely stunning.” I blushed, thanked him, and gave him a hug as I sat down. The entire night, there was this electric tension between us. I’d been dropping hints for a while, and I could tell he was finally picking up on them.

We spent the evening talking, laughing, and subtly touching, me brushing his back, his shoulder, even playfully hitting his arm during jokes. I could feel his nervous energy, but he was warming up. As midnight approached, the anticipation was almost unbearable.

The second the clock struck 12 and everyone was busy with their phones or wishing each other, he grabbed my face and kissed me. It wasn’t just a quick kiss, it was full of passion, and it sent shivers down my spine. I’d fantasized about this moment for so long, and it was finally happening.

Afterward, we sat down at the dinner table together, and I decided to take things a step further. I thrive on a little risk, it’s thrilling and I couldn’t resist. I grabbed his hand under the table and slid it under my skirt. He went red immediately, clearly shocked, and tried to pull his hand away, but I held on firmly.

Eventually, he gave in, and the next few moments were electrifying. He fingered me discreetly while everyone else was focused on their meals and conversations. My heart was racing, and the rush of doing something so daring in that setting made it even more exhilarating. We stopped when the food arrived at our table, but the look we exchanged said it all.

Nothing more happened that night, but it was the most exciting start to the new year I could’ve asked for. We’re officially together now, and I can’t wait to see where this goes.
