"Happy New Year."
Hermione grinned, sharing Charlie's toast, their glasses meeting with a celebratory clink. "Happy New Year." Their lips met in a soft champagne-flavoured kiss. "This is nice," Hermione murmured, cuddling into his embrace. "Just the two of us."
Twisting a lock of her hair around his fingers, Charlie nodded. "Yeah. Don't think I'd want to spend every year in like this, though. I like a bit of a party."
"We'll go out next year."
"It's barely after midnight and you're already planning next year?"
Hermione nodded, kissing his cheek. "I like to plan ahead." She took a sip of her champagne, letting the bubbles fizz on her tongue. "Do you want your special treat now?" she asked in a whisper, her lips grazing his ear.
After a brief moment of hesitation - it really wasn't that difficult to decide - Charlie nodded. Hermione had been keeping something hidden from him all day and it was driving him crazy.
She untangled herself from his arms, Charlie giving her arse a cheeky swat as she rose from the sofa. Hermione narrowed her eyes at him, although he could tell that she wasn't very annoyed. He winked at her and she laughed, hurrying from the room.
Sitting up a bit straighter, Charlie rubbed his hands together in anticipation. They had already spent the better part of the night very intimately, so what did she have in store for him now? He tapped his foot; patience had never been his greatest virtue.
Fireworks were popping and bursting in the sky outside, bright flashes behind the curtains. Strains of Auld Lang Syne could be heard coming from the party in flat next door.
When Hermione appeared in the doorway, Charlie's jaw dropped. "Wow," he breathed, not sure what else he could say at the sight in front of him.
Hermione smiled a little nervously, looking down. "Do you like it?"
Charlie nodded in agreement, his eyes wide. "It's... I think I'm speechless. It's beautiful. You did this for me?"
"Of course I did." Beaming, Hermione bowl of chocolate ice cream down on the coffee table. "Milk chocolate ice cream, dark chocolate ice cream, double cream, marshmallows, fudge sauce and%u2026"
With a sharp tug on her arm, Charlie pulled Hermione down on top of him, kissing her soundly. "Anyone would think that you were trying to fatten me up." He nuzzled her neck, smiling.
"Just trying to get you into my bed."
"My bed."
"Our bed."
Charlie looked at the ice cream. It really was magnificent. "What if I want to go on a diet, eh? A New Year's resolution. A new year, a new beginning."
"You wouldn't give up chocolate ice cream." Giving him a doubtful look, Hermione tugged the bowl towards her, picking up one of the spoons. "I'll just have to eat it all myself, then."
Quickly snatching the spoon from her hand, Charlie took a large mouthful of ice cream. "Maybe you're right."
"I'm right a lot."
"So I've noticed."
