Flirty Stranger Steals A New Year's Kiss [M4A] [Strangers to Lovers] [New Year’s Eve] [Kissing]

Transcript

Trying to choose a drink, darling? Oh, my apologies. I didn't mean to startle you.

I was just going to make a suggestion, if you would care to hear it. Then I'm going to go ahead and recommend trying the Champagne Punch. It's from a cannon and lemon.

They only serve it during New Year's. Shame, really, given how good it is. Oh, it's a great venue.

And the menu is always delicious, though I must admit that I do play favorites. Everything on their winter menu has a special place in my heart. The red wine braised venison, my all-time favorite.

I've been to quite a few work events at this venue, so I'm fairly familiar with it. I actually recommended it to Danny for this party, mainly because my company decided to have the end-of-the-year party somewhere else, and I really wanted to come here at least once this year. Just don't tell Danny that, okay? She would chew me out for choosing a venue just because I want to go there.

Though, she can hardly blame me for loving this place. This really is the best spot to host a New Year's Eve party. The food and drinks are amazing.

The building itself is gorgeous. The live band sets the mood perfectly. And above all else, I always meet the most attractive company here.

Oh, I'm sorry. Was that too forward of me to say? You look a bit surprised.

My apologies again. How about I start this off in a more polite way? Would you let me buy you a drink? Perfect.

How does that punch I mentioned sound? Did I manage to sell you on it? Then I'm glad I'm such a convincing salesman.

Here, let me order some for us. Hey, Jack. Yeah, could I get two glasses of the champagne punch? Great, thank you.

Now, while we wait for our drinks, I've got a question for you. Are you ready? Oh, please don't worry.

It's not some big personal question about your life. Asking heavy questions after just meeting someone is too blunt, even by my standards. And I promise you, I'm not the type to have many reservations about getting to know such someone who is so easy on the eyes.

Who was I now? I'm terribly sorry, I didn't realize I was flirting again. I suppose it's just instinct when I'm looking at someone who happens to look exactly like what I pictured in my daydreams.

I just did it again, didn't I? How about I just go ahead and ask my question. Would that be better, darling? Ah, sure.

That one just kinda snuck in there. But onto my question. Flirting? I assure you I'll do no such thing.

Now, if you don't mind, darling, I was going to ask you what brings you here tonight. Oh, did I call you darling again? I'm terribly sorry, slip of the tongue.

Anyway, my apologies. You're just so fun to flirt with. Certainly doesn't help that it's getting the most dazzling smile out of you.

I promise this time I'll just ask the question. No more flirting. At least, not until after.

Pinky promise. Yes, really. I promise.

No flirting. No sweet words or nickname or. ..

Oh, yeah. Thanks, Jack. Have a good night yourself.

Right, here you are. Why don't you give it a try first? Was I right? Isn't it good? I thought you would like it.

Now, as I was about to ask. .. Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.

Excuse us. The bar is getting a bit crowded, isn't it? I suppose it is getting close to midnight.

Yeah, very close. They probably want to grab a drink to toast with when the clock strikes midnight. Hmm.

.. How about we go somewhere a little bit more private? Well, I might have an idea.

You see that doorway over there? Yeah, the one kind of behind the stairs, just on the other side of the bar. It's just a small lounge, but it's well hidden that no one ever finds in.

I only found it by mistake a couple years back. It's a nice place to rest when you want some time away from the rest of the party. It's also nice and quiet, so we won't have to fight against the crowd to hear each other.

Would you be all right with going over there? Perfect. Here, take my hand.

It'll make it easier to not get lost in the crowd. Well, yes, that is an excuse to hold your hand, but it's also practical. Flirting can be very practical.

Now, are you going to hold my hand or not? Perfect. Come with me.

Finally, some peace and quiet was beginning to get a bit too loud in there, and I hate having to yell over everyone to hold a conversation. But now that all of that has been taken care of, let's get back to the matter at hand. The moment we've all been waiting for.

My question for you is, why did you come here tonight? Oh, I do know that Danny invited you, but I'm asking why you decided to accept. What were you expecting from this party that made you want to come here? Was it a night out with friends? To food and drinks, perhaps? Maybe just a chance to dress up? Which would be a very good reason, given just how stunning you look.

Well, I already did ask the question. Technically, I'm not breaking my promise. No, I'm not.

I just asked. I didn't say I would wait for an answer before I started flirting again. So, darling, what brings you to this party, the night of all nights? A secret, really, now? Well, I do love secrets.

Now I absolutely need to know. Oh, but I'm so good at keeping secrets, darling. You can trust me.

I promise I won't tell another soul. Oh, what if I pinky promise? Would that change your mind at all? No? Really? Then what if I offered a trade? Yeah, a trade.

If I tell you why I came to the party, then would you tell me why you came? No, sadly. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't just for the punch.

Although that was an extra bonus. Yes, I do have another, much more important reason for being here. Even more important than any of the food there I see it.

I know. Shocking, isn't it? Well, before I tell you that, you'd have to agree to our trade.

So, do you accept? Then we have a deal. Why don't we set our drinks down over here and we can shake on it? Well, I guess I'll go first then.

The reason I came here tonight is that I was hoping to meet someone. It's been a while since I've met someone I wanted to date and I thought that this would be a good way to do that. I was even thinking that if I was lucky, I would meet someone that would kiss at midnight.

Now, it's your turn, darling. Oh, that's so. You came here to meet someone new.

Well, what a lovely coincidence then. By any chance, is it possible that you would like to kiss someone at midnight? Then perhaps, would you like to kiss me at midnight? Really? You would? Well, isn't this perfect then? It's like you and I were destined to meet here tonight.

New Year's magic? You know what? I can't believe that.

It would be even more magical when we kiss. Really? Oh, yeah, you're right.

We're closer to New Year than I thought. Yeah, less than two minutes.
