Through Thick and Thin.

Christmas 2

"ITS CHRISTMAS!!!" I screamed on my way down the stairs. When I got to the kitchen I was suddenly hit by the most heavenly smell ever! "pancakes!!" I sighed and sat down at the table,

"Good morning!" My mom said to me with a bright and cheerful face.

"Good morning!" That's when I realized that Ryan was sitting across from me. "Oh! Hey I didn't see you!"

"You didn't see me when I'm right infront of You? Typical Rose" He mocked.

"Sorry I was only thinking about pancakes." I smiled and started eating.

"I can see why. Your moms pancakes are the best!!" Ryan smiled.

"Awe thanks!!" My mom said flattered.

"So. what are you doing here?" I asked turning to face Ryan.

"Can I not see my favorite girl on Christmas?" He said putting a hand on his heart. That's when I realized he had his pocket watch I gave him in his shirt pocket. I leaned over and gave him a kiss. He licked the syrup off of his lips because I didn't wipe my mouth off first.

"Mmmm, Syrup!!" He sighed and laughed.

"Here have some more!" I giggled as I poured a ton of syrup in his mouth. After I gave him a mouthful he grimaced as he tried to swallow it.

"Eh! That was way too sweet!" He grimaced again and drank some orange juice. His face went back to normal and he smiled.

"I don't know if I will ever be able to eat syrup again. You ruined syrup for me. Just kidding!" He smiled and drank some more syrup. He is such a goof. But he is my goof.

"Can we open presents now?" I whined.

"Yes!" my mom is always excited on Christmas one year she couldn't wait and we opened presents a week early.

"Well, I better get going" Ryan said gathering his stuff.

"No, why can't you stay?" I asked wrapping my arm around his waist and laying my head on his chest. He reacted and wrapped his arms around me and set his chin on my head.

"I don't want to intrude on a family event." He answered swaying us back and forth.

"But your going to be family soon. Does that count?"

"No. I would love to stay but I have plans with my family." He laughed.

"Oh, ok." I said sadly and let go of him a little so I could look at him. I reached up on my tippy toes and planted a kiss on him. "I love you" I said against his lips.

"I love you more" He laughed.

"Whatever!" I squeezed him once more and let him go.
