CUDDLING, KISSING, LAUGHING and playing with Dumbo have been a constant repeat during the past couple of days since Sebastian asked me to be his girlfriend. His real girlfriend this time. I've been living on cloud nine since the moment he asked me, and sometimes I believe that I had dreamt it instead. The way he asked me was simply amazing, although cliché. My love for Sebastian and now Dumbo, is undeniable. Without hesitation, if someone asked how I felt about Sebastian I would say that I loved him. I wouldn't be able to deny it, not one bit.

I turned around in bed to face Sebastian, his arms wrapped tightly around me. I brought my hand up to his face, stroking each perfect feature of his face delicately. I brought my fingers down to his plump lips, tracing the dents and bumps of it, the slight movement of his lips tugging up caused me to pause my movements and pull my hand back. There was a slight moment of silence around us before Sebastian burst out laughing.

"I'm sort of worried Lexi, I think you might be obsessed with me because you were just watching me sleep and toughing my face," he laughed at me while throwing his head back. I scowled at him and moved off of the bed, grabbing my robe and slippers.

"Where are you going?" Sebastian pouted at me while sitting up against the headboard, his defined abs on show for my eyes. I coughed awkwardly when he cocked an eyebrow up in amusement at my staring. I rolled my eyes at him and walked out of the door, his infectious laugh being heard as I suppressed a smile.

"Mom?" I asked into the speaker of the phone as I began getting ready for my date with Sebastian tonight since it's New Year's Eve.

"Hi sweetheart, I hope you're all doing well. I'm just calling to say that when you get back tomorrow, you have a dress fitting for the debutante ball which is on January 10th. I picked out a couple that I thought you might like, so your only job is to show up and pick a dress. Oh! And feel free to bring Sebastian and Nicolas along because Evelyn will also be having her dress fitting too," my mom told me all in one breath sounding extremely stressed. I chuckled as she panted on the other line, pausing what I was doing to put my full attention on my mother.

"January 10th? Really mom? But that's my eighteenth birthday," I said and began trailing off at the end when I saw Dumbo strolling into the walk in closet with cream smeared over his mouth. I looked into the doorway as I saw Sebastian walk in wearing just a grey pair of joggers, a can of whipped cream in his hand, his whole body covered with cream. I held my finger up to Sebastian telling him to wait for a second.

"I know it is darling, and I'm really sorry I tried my best to change the date, but the committee has already set everything up. We can have a big party for you whenever you want it," my mom told me at the other end of the phone sounding guilty.

"It's fine mom, please don't worry about it," I told her, trying my best not to sound to upset. We both said our goodbyes and hung up. I looked back over to Sebastian who now had Dumbo in his arms, walking towards the bathroom.

"My mom just called me," I told him as I began walking towards the bathroom with him. He hummed in response, switching on the bath, and placing Dumbo inside. "She told me that the debutante ball is on the tenth of January, and I'm annoyed because I wanted to spend the day with you," I looked at him with a small pout as we both knelt down next to the bath and began washing Dumbo. "And I have a dress fitting with Evie tomorrow, and my mom told me to invite you and Nicolas along if you'd like to come," I told him as I put the puppy shampoo in my palm and started massaging it in Dumbo's fur.

"I'd love to come with you to your dress fitting. I mean I get to see my girl looking hot as fuck in dozens of dresses, what man wouldn't enjoy that?" he told me with amusement lightly traced in his tone as he gently nudged my shoulder.

"And as for the debutante ball being on your birthday, we'll celebrate your birthday tomorrow when we get home. We'll order all of your favourite take outs, have some drinks, watch all of your favourite movies, and cuddle with Dumbo. How does that sound?" he asked me with a cheeky smile. I grinned back at him and leaned up to kiss his already puckered lips. "That sounds like a dream," I told him with a happy sigh. He kissed my forehead, and we both went back to washing Dumbo who was happily playing in the water.

"Sebastian, where the fuck are you taking me?" I laughed at him as he tugged on my hand, my eyes blindfolded from whatever view is before me. "And why do I have to be blindfolded? Is this a kink of yours Mr Kingsley?" I smirked at him as he squeezed my hand, a low chuckle escaping his lips.

"Just be patient baby, we're almost there," he whispered in my ear from behind me. I rolled my eyes in response even though he couldn't see me and huffed in frustration. I never was a patient girl.

After a lot of falling over steps and misleading directions, we finally got to wherever Sebastian wanted to take me. He patted my shoulder twice as a signal for me to take off my blindfold. I took it off, and my god was I breathless.

Here in front of me, was a view of Paris at night. We were standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower, lights glimmering throughout the whole tower. I looked out towards the city in awe, struggling to believe that this view actually exists. I turned back around towards Sebastian, who was stood next to two seater table with a single red rose in his hand. I tilted my head to the side and pursed my lips, trying my best not to laugh at how awkward he looked.

"You can put the flower down Sebastian, you look way too awkward," I told him with a smile tugging at my lips. He exhaled in relief and threw the rose off of the tower. I shook my head at his actions and tried my best not to laugh. "I meant, you could give me the rose no throw it off the fucking tower, "I laughed at his reaction to my words.

"Shit, uh, sorry Lexi," he scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment.

I decided to put him out of his misery and walked over to him slowly. I cupped his cheeks gently and looked into those beautiful ocean blue eyes I've grown to love so dearly. I looked down at his lips, him doing the same to mine.

Our lips brushed gently over each other's, the tension between us was overwhelming. I leaned in first and joined our lips in one. He sucked in a breath sharply and instantly kissed me back passionately. My hands made their way to the back of his head, my fingers threading through his hair.

His hands settled on my waist, although one of them strayed down and cupped my butt. I slapped that hand away while he just smirked against my lips. He was practically begging for entrance after I denied him twice, so I thought I'd be nice for a change and let him wander my tongue with his. We kissed passionately for a couple of more minutes before we both decided it was time to get some oxygen back in our lungs.

"That felt French," Sebastian smirked at me as he kissed my cheek. I shook my head at him, moving away from his embrace and seated myself in one of the seats at the table. Sebastian quickly followed me and called over the waiter.

It was currently one minute away from the new year 2021, and Sebastian and I were leaning against the railing of the Eiffel Tower. He was standing behind me with his arms wrapped around my waist, his head resting on my head.

"What's your new year's wish?" I asked him quietly, not wanting to disturb our peaceful state. He thought for a moment or two before he came up with his answer.

"I wish for you to always be mine forever," he huskily whispered in my ear before peppering a couple of kisses around my face. I hummed in agreement with him, taking his hand and intertwining our finger. "What about you?" he asked me the same question.

I thought for a moment like him and began hearing a few people counting down from ten in another section of the tower.

"I wish for everything to be okay," I murmured quietly. He nodded in response and we both counted down from three, before we shared a loving kiss, with both of us smiling against the other's lips.

"Happy New Year Sebby," I grinned up at him as he grinned back down at me.

"Happy New Year Lexi," he said as he leant down and kissed me again.

Oh, if only I knew that my wish never came true after all.
