Countdown to Love

Last New Years Eve, my best guy friend, Oli, and I were sitting in my basement watching the ball drop on TV. Oli had been acting really shy and nervous all night, which isnt like him at all, and I had no idea why. Then, about a minute before the ball dropped, he turned to me and whispered my name. As I turned to look at him, he gently placed his hands on either side of my face and kissed me! When the kiss was over, he said, Ive wanted to do that for years. That was my first kiss, and I cant imagine it having been any sweeter! Weve been together for two years now.
