Snippet #1812710

Adri sighed again once she finally made it out of central park, "I can't believe that just happened Ella." Adri said softly as they walked though the crowded street. Who would have thought that she would have run into the person she was trying to avoid at central park.

'Someone up there must have it out for me.' She thought to herself. Tonight had been the most drama filled night she had since high school. She met and amazing guy she thought she had a connection with, then had a breakdown after finding out he lied, and finally to be approached by bunch of rowdy drunks. She shook her head as she approached her apartment building she saw Kevin frowning at her.

"Miss, what are you doing back here?" He said disapprovingly. "You should be out at Time Square enjoying your youth." He said with a fatherly grin as he added. "Giving some lucky fellow a New Years Eve kiss?"

Adri smiled softly at the older man, who always took care of her during her time living in the building . "Regrettably, I don't have anyone to give a New Years kiss to...so I was just taking Ella for a walk and I was gonna take Ella upstairs."

"Miss Scott please, if you could do an old man a favor and go enjoy New Years at the Square?" He said softly. "I am too old to go out there anymore...besides I met my late wife out there on this night 40 years ago. New Years in the square always brings good things." He finished with a raised eyebrow

Adri looked at the man softly. "I would Kevin, but I have to take Ella upstairs."

"I'll take her up if you wish, or I could keep her down here." He offered easily

"But, I'll feel so strange being around all the couples whe-" Adri said trying to make up an excuse to let him down easily.

He grin softly at the young girl in front of him. "You know Miss... I have a feeling there might already be a lucky fella out there...he's just waiting for you."

She looked at Kevin, with soft eyes as he seemed to strongly encourage her to go. She felt kind of bad just refusing him, especially after seeing how set he was on seeing her bring in the New Years like him and his wife did. "Alright. I'll go-" She said making him chuckle warmly at her.

"Alright you better get going. Where getting close to midnight. I'll have Miss Ella here when you get back." He said as Adri made her way toward Time Square. She sighed looking up at the sky, 'Please don't let me regret this.' Adri thought to herself as she made her way down the crowded Manhattan streets.
