Just Friends

Chapter 14

It was Christmas Eve and I was staying at my moms for a couple days. She had invited Ruben to stay with us since he wouldn't be with his family. She had set up the guest room for Ruben and he was putting his stuff in there.

"So how's for a tour of my house?" I laughed "I mean it's nothing compared to yours but still."

"I would love to see your house" he grinned.

I showed him around our four bedroom house and he seemed to be very interested, it was most likely an act but I just went with it. We went to the kitchen to join my mom as she started cooking for tomorrow. She told us that we could make a gingerbread house if we wanted to keep us busy as she ran to the store.

We got started making it as we ate half the supplies in the process, my mom got back home just after we finished it. She turned on some Christmas music and we all danced and sang along as we made and decorated Christmas cookies.

Let me tell you something about my mom, my mom is a total cliché Christmas kind of person. Which is probably where I get it from, but she is me times ten.

We were about to all sit down and watch a Christmas movie when my mom walked in with two flat rectangle boxes that were wrapped to perfection and handed them to us.

"Mooom what's this?" I asked.

"Oh you didn't have to get me anything" Ruben said.

"Just open it" she grinned.

We unwrapped the boxes and inside were matching Christmas pajamas. Mine was a pair of red shorts with little tiny reindeer on them with a white thin long-sleeved shirt that said 'Won't you guide my sleigh tonight'. Rubens was a pair of red flannel button on pajamas that was just covered in little reindeer. Also in our boxes were Christmas movies, packets of hot chocolate, and popcorn.

"Now you two go get changed, I'll make us all some hot chocolate and popcorn" she smiled great big. We just laughed and went to go change.

After the movie was over we all decided to go to bed.

It had been about an hour since they went to bed and I was sitting up in room reading a book when I heard something hit my window. I stood up and I heard it again, I walked over to the window and looked out to find Crispin standing in my yard. When he saw me he waved for me to come down, I got out of my room and quietly walked down the stairs, and opened the door. When I saw him he was standing there holding mistletoe over his head.

"What are you doing here Crispin?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around my body as I walked closer.

"I broke up with her" he informed.

"Why?" It suddenly started to snow again.

"Because I didn't want to give you up" he said. I was now right in front of him, he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer. He leaned forward kissing me I wrapped my arm around his neck deepening the kiss while standing on my toes and placing my other hand on the side of his face. We stood there kissing for a minute before I realized I was outside in pretty much nothing when it was twenty degrees out.

"Could we maybe take this inside? I'm kinda freezing here" I said breaking away from the kiss.

He looked down at what I was wearing and laughed. "Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" he winked as he smirked.

I grabbed his hand as I lead him inside and we snuck up to my room trying our best to not wake anyone up. As soon as we walk in he picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist and kiss him again. He lays me down on the bed hovering over me as he sucks on my neck.
