He looked at his reflection on his phone and blushed beet red as he wiped off the lipstick with a napkin. "Yeah but…singing is so fun. Just gotta moisten my throat and it'll be fine. I'll take just piano the next couple of songs." he shrugged and looked at the time on his phone "Jeeze already 11pm."
"You did get here at 10:30, I'm surprised you're not saying it's only 11:00." She teased, turning to top off a few more drinks. Glancing over her shoulder, she gave him a warm smile. "I've got a request for the band, if you're up for it." Jo hummed, fully facing him now.
"shoot go ahead beautiful." Tempest grinned and drained his can of soda.
A teasing smirk rested on her lips, and she leaned on the counter. "Into The Unknown, Panic! At The Disco." She said simply, waiting to see his reaction.
"Alright I think we can manage that." Tempest chuckled as he sprung from the counter and ushered everyone back. He told them what they were doing and just like that they launched into it. (busy day sorry)
(It’s all good! Life is more important ;)
“And he said he hated that movie.” She snickered, leaning on the bar counter to watch her boyfriend and his band sing to the familiar song.
After that song it was dangerously close to midnight. 11:58 to be exact. Tempest grinned as he told something to the band and Final Countdown was what they began to play
Joanna checked her watch, and changed the channel to New Years Eve live from Times Square. Turning it up just a bit, she topped off a few drinks before making her way up to the stage.
It was time and soon Tempest was only aware of playing his part and of Joanna. Five he got Jo in his sight. Four a smile broke across his face. Three he changed to a single hand playing. Two he grabbed Jo's hand. One he stopped playing "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" was the only call as everyone brought in the new year. Tempest pulled Joanna into a deep kiss
Her eyes grew wide, but she smirked before relaxing into the kiss. It was tender, and loving, to Joanna at least. She didn't care if people were starring, she was actually hoping they were, so they knew that Tempest Daniels was hers. She started the year with him, and sure as heck she was going to make sure they continued to start each year together.
He pulled away and looked into her eyes. He was tearing up as he mouthed the words Happy New Year
Biting onto her lip, she smiled at him brightly. "Happy New Year babe." She whispered, knowing he wasn't going to hear her over the noise of the crowd.
Tempest hugged Joanna tightly, once he let go he booped her nose gently, waiting for the noise to die down
"Here, come with me." She mouthed, pecking his nose and pulling him along.
He let her pull him along, a smile across his face as she did
Pulling him to one of the back rooms, she smiled up to him when they came to a stop. "It's quieter back here."
"Yeah…happy new year…I love you Jo…I can't believe the year is already over." He said with a warm smile
"If it hadn't come near the end, we wouldn't have met." She whispered, sliding her arms up his chest slowly.
"You're right…it's been the best months of my life Jo." he told her as a hand cupped the side of her face
Her green eyes made their way up to his face, and she smiled softly. “You’re a Dream Tempest Daniels.”
"But it's better…cause we get to wake up right next door to each other everyday." he told her and pressed another sweet kiss to her lips "I get to wake up and see the woman I love…every…day.
She slid her arms around his neck, and stood on her toes to kiss him better. “You have no idea,” She paused, pressing her forehead against his. “How happy that makes me.”
"I have an idea if it's anything close to how I feel." He whispered softly as he stroked her hair
Cupping both of his cheeks, she smiled softly. "How was your night handsome?" She asked softly.
"the best of the year." He grinned happily as he placed one of his hands over hers
Laughing, she slid her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his chest. "Glad to hear that darling."
"How much longer you have to stay?…cause the band's gonna pack up soon." He asked as he held her close to his chest
"Once we get these drunk idiots out of here, I'm gone." She mumbled, looking up to him with a smile.
"Awesome I'll stick around until then…I'll pack up the stuff though so they take the hint." he said with a little wink
Her face flushed slightly, and she pulled away. "I love you, and I hope you know that." She whispered, pecking his lips once more, before walking off.
