Pick Up Lines New Year Novels & Stories

On New Year’s Eve, Kian Newman never came home. Instead, he had someone deliver a container of frozen ravioli and sent me a single message: "Stay safe this year." I had barely locked the screen when a photo popped up in the company group chat. Isabel Wilkinson, Kian's assistant, had posted it. It was a lavish holiday dinner spread across the table, every dish clearly homemade. The caption read: "Someone spent all day cooking so I could have a taste of home. Love you."

• HIS NEW IDENTITY • It is the very first day of the year, everyone is still caged in euphoric feeling of celebrating the New Year's eve. Christmas lights are still hanging by the roof, snow blankets the road. Some people are in caught by cleaning their porches, some are still sound asleep, some are in deep silence from the screaming of yahoos! last night. Some are in hushed situation, too silent and too... horrifying. A man that is of age of early 20's brewing a coffee, smoking hot and creamy. The toasts he made for himself are placed in front of his, filling it with peanut butter jelly before munching it.

Few texts were displayed on the lock screen. 'Where are you? Scar?' 'How was the party? You didn't pick our calls?' 'Is everything alright? What happened? Why aren't you responding to our texts me calls?' 'SCAR I SWEAR TO YOU! PICK UP YOUR PHONE!!!!!!!' 'WE ARE FUCKING WORRIED FOR YOU!!!!!" 'You remember today is New Year! Aren't you going to come back to celebrate? Like we usually did?" "I'M COMING TO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW!!!! AND YOU BETTER BE THERE OR J SWEAR TO GOD I'LL KILL YOU, YOU DUFFER!'

"Make sure you pack some warm clothes." "I think you're forgetting that I live in New York, Al," he chuckled through the line. "You haven't seen winter here yet, but it hardly gets above thirty." "Oh man I'm so not ready for the new year," I groaned at the thought of below-zero weather. Sure, the snow was something I was excited for, but the frosty cold air that came along with it was not my cup of tea. "You'll be right," he laughed. "So I'm picking you up in twenty, yeah?"

“So basically, I ended the year with a loud bang.” Glen threw his half-eaten donut back inside the box. “If that doesn’t call for a celebration, then I don’t know what will.” Two weeks after returning to work from the holidays and Glen still couldn’t shut up about how he scored two women on New Year’s Eve. Will made a face. “Hmmm…I don’t think so, buddy.” “Are you kidding me? What is more important than getting laid for free, Will?”

How nice. I made to toss my phone, but my eyes caught a message from Javier on the notification bar. I immediately tapped on it. A gasp escaped my lips when I realized he had already sent the message since morning and I was just seeing it. The message was wishing me a happy christmas, and I immediately typed out a message; MERRY CHRISTMAS, before sending it. He replied almost immediately. WERE YOU BUSY? I WAS SLEEPING OH, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING DOING ON NEW YEAR DAY?

Priscilla was a bit stunned. At the next moment, the man continued, “It makes me feel like I’m not that attractive.” In the end, she couldn’t withstand it any longer and let out a chuckle. She pressed her lips together and said with a smile, “You’re so handsome, darling.” The man’s eyes lit up. “It’s just that I’m not accustomed to this. I haven’t celebrated the New Year seriously for several years. In the past, I would stay in the bedroom alone to watch TV or directly go to bed. I’m not used to celebrating the New Year like this.”

The chorus of voices filled the room, and when they reached the final line, Caroline urged her to make a wish. Susan closed her eyes, feeling the weight of so many changes in her life pressing in for just a moment. She took a deep breath, thinking about the things she wanted: simplicity, clarity, maybe even a fresh start… if that were possible. She opened her eyes, smiled, and blew out the candles, the cheers and applause wrapping around her in a comforting embrace. “Here’s to a new year, Susan,” Caroline said, clinking her glass against Susan’s. “This one’s going to be special. I can feel it.”

There, honesty is the best policy. "You're like the ice. You're ice prince." I'm vomiting words right now, even telling him the nickname I invented for him. That's it. Stop, Evie. Stop. Shut up. Shut uppp! "Maybe I can warm you up with a date?" Bahahahaha what a cheesy come back. Is this one of those lame pick up line? The one you used during your high school era? Which is... what? Twenty years ago? Bahahahaha! "You're weird." I am still laughing when he fixes himself back to the steering wheel and gives a signal to bring the car back to the main road.

I get to have a good new year with family and friends. "It's a new year for us, a new year with you" Enzo said before kissing me. Yeah. We made it, we didn't die before the new year, we didn't fall into the hospital and weren't drunk or under drugs. It's all good and it'll be good for the rest of our lives. ~~~THE END~~~
