Sledding : 48

Natasha's POV

I woke up and found a heavy arm draped across my shoulders. We had all fallen asleep on the couch.

I looked over to find who the arm belonged to and found Nick. Snoring his head off.

I chuckled and got up, turned the tv off because it was just going through the menu song over and over and over and then went upstairs. I showered quickly and changed into a pair of navy blue leggings and an oversized red sweater.

Then I went back downstairs and found everyone beginning to wake up. Once they had all gotten up, gotten dressed and eaten, we all piled in the cars and drove to the high school. The boys had brought no sleds and apparently there was a good sledding hill behind the school.

We all went sledding for two hours and then went back to the house at 12:00. Mom texted me and told me that they would be home in fourth five minutes so all messes had better be cleaned up.

Nick went to the grocery store to get hot coca and Pamela volentold me to go with him and make sure he got the right kind.

We got to the store and I went in search of candy canes while Nick went in search of hot coca.
We met up at the cash register and Nick had much more that just hot coca.

A big box of goldfish, a bag of spicy nacho Doritos, a box of Cheerios, a bag of gummy worms and the hot coca power.

"You are paying." I told him.

"Fine. No goldfish or Doritos for you." He told me.

"Fine, I'll give you money at home." I told him setting the boxes of candy canes on the counter.

The woman told Nick the total cost and then said, "you two are such a lovely couple."

"Oh, we're not-" I said at the same time Nick said, "Thank you."

He glanced down at me and grinned. I wanted to slap that stupid grin right off his perfect face.

He grabbed the bags and led me out to the car. As soon as we got in I slapped his shoulder.

"What was that for?" He asked innocently.

"Thanking the woman for saying we were a cute couple." I retorted crossing my arms over my chest and looking out the window.

Nick chuckled, started the car and drove.

"We would make a great couple." He said.

"Is that your way of proposing to me?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"If it was what would you say?" He asked.

"I'd probably slap you for being an idiot because someone like you could never like someone like me." I told him.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I'm broken, ugly, untalented. What's to like?" I asked.

We pulled into the driveway and Nick kept the car running.

"Natasha's look at me." Nick told me being entirely serious.

"You are beautiful, even if you have been broken, you are the most talented girl I know and you need to start giving yourself some credit. Who saved Mason from getting shot?" Nick asked.

"Me, but-"

"Who took out seven fully armed soldiers?" Nick asked.

"Me, but-"

"Who saved even the people that were trying to hurt her from a bomb?" Nick asked.

"Well, me, but-"

"Who survived that bomb and who was willing to give her life to save the man who had kidnapped her dad?" Nick asked.

"That was me, but-"

"Who acted on instinct and saved us all once again when Harry junior came along and held us at gun point?" Nick asked

"Okay, it was me, but-"

"Who was shot in the shoulder three times when she was ten and survived?" Nick asked.

"That was me, but-"

"That was you and still is you. Natasha, you may have been broken but God healed you when you accepted him. You are beautiful and talented and strong and brave and sarcastic and stylish and funny and kind of an idiot at times. I don't ever want to hear you call yourself ugly or untalented or broken again. Alright?" Nick asked.

"Alright." I said in a quiet voice.

"Good. Now remember you owe me money if you want spicy chips." Nick said cutting the car's engine and opening his door.

I chuckled, got out and helped him carry the bags in.

We got inside and found everyone by the front window, with the rest of the house cleaned up.

"I thought we sent you to get candy canes and hot coca?" Pamela said smirking.

"Nick, not me." I said.

"What were you doing by the window?" I added.

"You two were having a moment!" Tanya said.

"No we weren't. Nick was explaining to me why French fries weren't made in France." I replied setting the bag down on the island.

"Huh?" They all asked except for Nick.

"They were made in Greece." I said.

"Wooow," Tyler said.

"Thank you." I said bowing and filling the tea kettle with water.

Twenty minutes later we were all watching elf and drinking hot coca with candy canes, gummy worms, gold fish, spicy nacho chips, and Cheerios.

Then Mom and Dad came home and told us we needed to exercise more because we were again on the couches eating un-healthily and watching movies. We all protested that we had just been sledding for two hours.

Once the movie finished everyone left and I went to go read in my room.

We all ate dinner together and then went to bed.
