Xia

"Next round is on me!" I yelled at Xia so she could hear me in this loud enviroment. She nodded in agreement and together we pushed through the crowd back to the bar.

The bartenders were clearly enjoying the night too. Dancing to the beat of the music and some appeared to be performing some kind of performance. They even seemed to have some clothes specialty for this event. Fortunately, one reached us and I told the order to him.

"You look happy. What are you celebratin'?" Xia asked close to my ear, grabbing the glass of mead the bartender had placed in front of us while I was paying.

"Last day of the year and my birthday," I interjected as I leaned in for her to hear me, to which I raised my hand with the glass for a toast. Xia looked surprised but clinked her glass with mine.

I leaned my elbow on the bar counter, to which I turned my back and sipped a sweet drink from a glass while looking at the dancing bodies. It was really good. There wasn't much time left until the end of the day, which could be seen on some of them.

I put the empty glass back on the counter just as they started playing some slower music. I looked at the black-haired chick next to her, to which I leaned over to her: "Wanna dance?"

The person in question looked at me with an enthusiastic smile, to which she nodded. And so we squeezed in between other people on the dance floor and for a while tried to dance, during which I pulled Xia closer with my hands on her waist.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that a kind of simulation of the universe began to reflect in the air space of the room above people's heads, and I had to admit that it was an extremely amazing spectacle. And with the song they were playing, it was a perfect blend.

I don't know how long we were swaying to the rhythm like that, but Xia suddenly stretched her head towards me, which caused my questioning expression, which I then threw at her. The black-haired woman smiled and nodded her head towards the exit: "Should we go out?"

I shrugged my shoulders. I had no idea where I wanted to be. It was really cool in here, but it must have been spectacular outside, too. Like every other year. But Xia obviously understood my hesistation because she grabbed my hand and together we pushed our way out into the fresh air.

Only yellow-red lanterns still floated above the city, but that was about to change as midnight was almost upon us. Each year after the countdown ends, the lights rise into the sky, at the end of their route forming various stars as they explode. A few years ago, I found out that this is a kind of perhaps even more ecological version of fireworks from the old Earth.

Xia hung her arm onto mine and led me somewhere. I didn't ask her where were we going because I didn't really care at that moment. I was kind of happy and mainly in a drunken state. And so I let myself be led through the streets, which turned into something more luxurious. The city center.

"I'll show you a place with an amazing view," she said as she led me to one of the nicest looking buildings around where we boarded the iron elevator and went to the top floor. Where it looked really nice, I had to admit. Of course it did, even though we were in a plain hall, we were in a pretty luxurious building.

Using her fingerprint on the display next to the door, Xia opened it and beckoned me to step in, which I did and found myself in a extremely nice looking apartment. At that moment I realized that a girl I didn't really know just invited me to her place. Quite careless given the differences in our lives. I could have been a thief or something.

And so, a few minutes later, I was standing on the balcony, which had a really nice view of the city below us, but also of the sky part. I buried my hands in my pockets and looked up at the sky. I had to admit, I was quite envious of her penthouse apartment.

"Wine?" came a voice beside me and I shifted my gaze from the beautiful sky to the black-haired woman who was offering me a glass of red liquid. I nodded and took the glass with a 'thanks', but I almost dropped it as I winced in surprise. Midnight came and the so-called fireworks just started.

Different colors shot up into the sky in many different shapes and mingled with the lanterns. It looked spectacular and kind of romantic, too. With a smile, I sipped the wine, which... tasted quite good, better than I expected, but I probably wouldn't drink it normally. It could only be this kind, but I still thought this probably wouldn't be my cup of coffee.

We watched the beauty in the sky for a while, while Xia hung onto my arm as she said something about the view. But I didn't listen to her much and just looked at the illuminated surroundings with a slight smile. Such a heartwarming view.

Suddenly, I felt a rather strange feeling. The kind one get when someone's watching them. So I turned my head and saw Xia watching me shamelessly. I raised a questioning eyebrow, however, I didn't get any answer, instead the beautiful dark-haired person moved her gaze to my lips and bit her lower one:

"Can I kiss you?"

I couldn't even answer because Xia immediately stuck to my lips. And I didn't fight back, so instead I put my hand on the back of her head and pulled her closer to me. In the next second, I placed a glass of wine, I was holding until now, on the table that was on the balcony as we somehow made our way back inside the dimmed apartment, while still exchanging kisses.

I placed my free hand on Xia's waist while moving the other one to her face. Her hands didn't just stay on my back either. Before long, I felt her slightly cold fingers on my waist under my t-shirt which made me smile.

Xia somehow managed to open the door, I guessed to her room. My black jacket was already on the ground when we broke the long while of kisses. But at that moment, the persistent hands of her felt the hem of my t-shirt and I let her pull it over my head, after which I pulled her into a kiss again, while my fingers felt the zipper of the red dress on her back, which I slowly undid.

The red cloth on the body of the girl in front of me remained for a moment as she moved the kisses from my lips to my neck, forcing me to tilt my head back slightly. Xia planted her kisses lower and lower as I felt her begin to unbutton my pants. I let her pull them off for me, after then forcing her to straighten up to her full height, which I used to help her out of her dress.

Subsequently, I forced Xia into her bed, which was quite huge, as I noticed in the dark room slightly enlightened through the window by lights from outside. The girl answered me at the event with a laugh, but in the next moment that she was trying to take off my black sports bra. I didn't wear that piece of clothing very often - actually only for matches because I have found it quite unconfortable other times.

While holding myself on my palms next to her shoulders I hovered above her in the next second exchanging another numerous of kisses with her as I felt her hands in my hair. Seconds later I bent down on my forearms as I touched Xia on her uncovered waist to which she let out muffled laughter. However, her laughter suddenly turned into moans as I began placing kisses on her neck and then went down over her heaving, kind of well-endowed chest, where I paused for a long moment before going lower and placing kisses on her belly and lower and lower.
