My 2021 New Years celebration was a bit different from what I normally do. Because of Covid, bars and clubs were shut, so most people resorted to renting hotel rooms or throwing house parties. Kayn’s best friend, Harry, was kind enough to organise a house party so we could all party in a safe space. Prior to the party, I was over at Kayn’s to have dinner and to count down with his family on New Year’s Eve. Kayn prepared and cooked a deliciously indulgent meal for us. A tomato burrata salad, French onion soup, a huge tender rib-eye steak and baked shells with ricotta cheese and ragu, just to name a few dishes! I wasn’t sure how someone as talentless as me could land such a sexy, athletic, smart, kind guy who also loves to cook (and is really good at it).
Shortly after the countdown, Kayn and I changed into our party outfit and quickly headed to Harry’s. We were both as sober as a judge, so the moment we stepped into his flat, we were shoved 3-4 drinks by a few of his friends. Eager to get on everyone else’s level, that was no problem and we downed the drinks quickly.
