Never Almost Had You | Page 8

turn to look at him and he’s on his side, using his elbow to prop himself up. The blanket was
now resting dangerously low on his waist. If he moved his a centimeter, there was a good chance it would fall off his body.
“Oh I never said I didn’t want you,” I separate our clothes before grabbing his in one hand and mine in the other. I make my way back over to him
and drop his clothes on top of him.
“Then why are you giving me my clothes? I was thinking we could go for another round,” he smirks at me and I want nothing more to just lavish his
lips. Damnit, he just let his tongue slowly run over his plump lips and it was oh so tempting and inviting. But no, I have to be strong. I can’t just give
it up again.
“It’s almost midnight Minnie.”
“So?”
“It’s New Year’s eve remember? So we kind of need to go down so we can join in the celebration.”
“They won’t notice if we’re not there.”
“Oh I’m sure Onew hyung and Key will notice. Especially Key, he’ll definitely notice that you’re not there. So come on, get dressed,” I start to pull my
shirt over my head. When I look at him, he’s still laying there in front of me. His eyes are drifting all over my body and for some reason I feel overly
exposed now. Even though I just put on my shirt, “What are you doing?”
“Enjoying the view.”

“Well get your clothes on,” I start to pull on my jeans, “We only have a few more minutes.”
“Where are your boxers hyung?”
“Oh they got blown away by the wind.”
“So no underwear for the rest of the night?”
“Nope. I’m going commando.”
“Hm.”
“Come on and get dressed already,” I tell him.
“Okay, okay,” he moves to stand, but I can see he’s getting tense again. He must have just remembered where we were. I go over to him and hold
both his arms as he stands up, blanket falling from his body. I take a moment to appreciate the beauty that is in front of me. The moonlight serving
as the perfect spotlight for him.
“COME ON EVERYONE! WE’RE GOING TO START THE COUNTDOWN SOON!” I can hear Eunhyuk yell from inside.
“You better hurry and get your clothes on,” I tell him and hand him his clothes. I have to grab onto him again when his legs begin to wobble, “Is that
because of me or the height?”
“I think it’s a combination of both,” he replies and I kneel down to help him pull his boxers on. With my help, he’s dressed again in no time and I’m
helping back into the house. We start to make our way back to the party, hands intertwined with one another.
“There you two are!” Eunhyuk exclaims as we reach the bottom of the steps. He takes a look at each of us and then down at our hands before a wide
smile spreads on his face, “FINALLY!!!”
“Finally what?” Donghae says as he walks up and slings an arm around Eunhyuk, I can tell he’s pretty wasted.
“Look,” he points down to our hands and I begin to blush. I would have let go, but Taemin pretty much had a death grip on my hand.
“Oh! FUCK YEAH! See I told ya that it would work!” Donghae exclaims and I’m not sure who the last sentence is meant for. The next thing I know,
drinks are being shoved in our hands by one of them as the other shoves us into the largest room in the house. Everyone is packed in there as we
wait for the last few seconds to tick away.
“It’s time everyone!” Eunhyuk shouts and we all start the countdown to the new year. I pull Taemin closer to me and see Onew and Key move in

beside us. There was still a nice sheen of sweat on both of them and I can hear that their breathing is still a little ragged. Man, those two could really
go at it.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1” we all shout as we watch the clock, “HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
Screams and party poppers go off. I turn to wrap both my arms around Taemin and stare down at him. Who knew I’d be starting off the new year
with him in my arms? I know that if someone were to tell me earlier this year that I’d be spending it like this, I wouldn’t have believed him.
“Happy New Year Minho hyung,” he says as his arms snake around my neck.
“Happy New Year Minnie,” I reply and our heads both start to move, until they meet in the middle. Our lips touching in a sweet kiss. I pull away just
enough to look at him, our foreheads still resting against
