"How do I look" Michael asks as he opens his arms. I laugh a little as I walk over to him.

"You know you don't have to wear a suit and tie everywhere, right" I ask as I take his suit jacket off before I place it nicely on my bed. I unbutton his top a little and open it up.

"They say if you look good then you feel good" he claims.

"No one looks good at a New Years party sweating out of his suit" I assure him.

"I trust you. I just don't know much about New Years parties" he admits.

"That's okay. I can teach you a few things about having fun" I wink and she smiles.

"Is that so" he teases as he wraps his arms around my waist.

"Yeah" I say as I bite my lip. He leans over and presses his lips to mine. We stay together for a little before we reluctantly break apart.

"We should uh... we should go" he stutters and I laugh.

"Let's go" I smile.

We drove over to a conference center in the heart of Chicago and go straight to the ballroom. I find some champagne and my friends and look forward to a fun night.

"I absolutely adore your dress" Abby says as she grabs my hand so she can get a better look at it.

"You don't think it's too much" I ask

"You don't think it's too much" I ask.

"Oh I do. But only you could pull it off so it's okay" she claims and I laugh.

"I'm surprised Michael was okay with me wearing this. I thought he was going to have a cardiac arrest when I walked out of the bathroom" I giggle.

"Where is he" she wonders and I shrug.

"I hope to god he's making friends, I can't be his only friend around here" I insist.

"I'm just going to apologize in advance for anything my husband says. He's a idiot when he's sober so now that he's drunk..." she trails off.

"Don't worry about it. Hopefully we'll drink enough we won't remember anything anyway" I laugh.

"Cheers to that" she says raising her glass. I clink my glass against hers before taking a nice long drink. I was ready to have a good time.

I hit the dance floor with my friends and we party like it was 2010 again. For just a little while was me and my girls tearing it up listening to good music having a great time.

"Alright. It's almost midnight, I need to go find my boyfriend" I giggle as I excuse myself from the group of girls I was hanging out with.

"If you see my husband can you send him my way" Abby asks.
