Rhianne put on her red sparkly shirt that afternoon, she was supposed to go home for Christmas. It was an hour's drive from the campus and she only had her father and maybe grandparents visiting for the holidays. She didn't theorize bringing her semi new boyfriend home her father never even got the chance to meet yet was rational. She didn't think this time of year was ideal either.

She brushed her teeth in her bathroom and tried to ward off Mike's hug from behind. "I think you're clingy..."
"Sorry?" Mike apologized coldly - lazily shirtless as he kissed her hair. There was a timid knock on the door they would have missed if the door was closed.

"Be a boo and get that honeypie," Rhianne's accent drawled sweetly as she spun around and squeezed his shoulder, applying a steel grip before spitting into the sink and brushing her hair. She heard Mike leave the bathroom, her thoughts mainly curious who it could be at her door on a crispy December afternoon.

Mike opened the door and there stood his slumber buddy from the previous night, Frankie Spence the freshman in college was paying a visit, she wasn't expecting the tall Tom Sellecky junior to be in Rhianne's house. "Hi! I had no idea you two lived together?!" Frankie was kind of squealing by this point as the tall lanky man leaned against the doorframe acting all captivated by her preppy tone that Rhianne rarely used.

"No we don't her father is pretty strict about us," Mike dished out randomly unsure why he had the nervous tick to blab the auburn's hair off. Frankie giggled and blushed.

"Did we all fall asleep in the same bed?" She asked weirdly then saw Rhianne walk up beside the brunette. The blonde former cheerleader/photographer leaned against Mike to glower at her friend who kept staring at them.
"Yeah you guys did,"
"She slept with Rusty," Mike rolled his eyes, snickering a little how funny that sounding however Frankie didn't know the truth and thought she actually did.

Frankie smirked seeing how tall Rhianne was and it was more comical seeing Mike tower over her. "Well can I come in?" She asked her friend because she needed some help studying; thats the reason she met the girl younger than her is by being her tutor in Economics.
"More the merrier!" Rhianne faked cheered as she turned around, walking to the living room. Mike closed the door when Frankie entered and she accidentally brushed by him.

"Sorry!" She apologized making the 6' something man bark out laughter Rhianne grunted at. She put out various snacks for her guests and always put out more in case others decided to visit her here.

Mike put on a basketball game to ignore Frankie and Rhianne's chattering. He couldn't simply ignore the way Frankie's voice had a full firmer voice than Rhianne's petite soft spoken one which he admired for times such as these when he was trying to watch his favorite sports.

"Did you snag any beer from your dad's basement?" Mike quizzed, evidently interrupting the girl's gossip.
"What do you think? Do I want my head cut off?"

"Shoot damn it. I can grab a case," Mike offered the blonde with a charming smile, she gave him her car keys to the Jeep. "If that Australian Crawl tape is-"

"I know you'll kick me down there if its tampered with," Mike stood up then leaned passed Frankie to give a soothing kiss to the native of the Netherlands. He had a notion she was a bit peeved at him for no reason. Mike took the keys and rushed out.

"Um I need to go too. I need tampons," Frankie mentioned importantly not even needing tampons but she wanted to get better acquainted with her friend's boyfriend.

"Alright I'll make dinner and ask Rusty if he wants to stay for it then we can decorate the Christmas tree," Rhianne allowed anxiously, staring at the tv to continue watching the basketball game for Mike so she can update him when the two finally return to her house.

In the Jeep Rubicon it was kind of chilly because Rhianne never bothered finding makeshift plastic doors for it since she bought it at a junkyard the owner didn't have them. Mike drove to the store conveniently located ten minutes away, he was just gonna buy a pack of beer at the store and try not to make a move on Frankie.

"Hey, do you listen to Little River Band?" the passenger who ignored the stinging whip of wind in her face asked curiously, letting her gaze shift to him instead of out the doorless door.

"Nah not really me and Rhiannon are into BOC and Fleetwood Mac," The brunette with curly locks mentioned and made a right turn down the citylike area.

"Haha because of the song right?" Frankie clapped although the sound in the air was muffled due to the auburn cheerleader's gloves.
"Right," Mike said mundanely as he parked the Jeep into the parking lot.

Mike helped Frankie out of the Jeep reminding him of the time Rhianne fell on him and he blacked out for five minutes. He then got frutrated and said Rhianne should just drive her father's old car but she pointed out it was almost dying anyway.

So the two went shopping at Frugal Hoosier. "Wait if Rhianne's 22 how come you're going? you're 21- you'll be carded,"

"And she won't?" Mike laughed as he eyed the box of wines being chilled in an opened fridge, he bent down to snatch one and chose Corona.

"Well said," Frankie nudged his arm with her elbow and the two shuffled along to the front of the store to wait in line.

"You know she works here?" Mike said awkwardly, counting out the money in his wallet where he had a picture of her.

"Yeah I know duuuhhh she's my friend, I've known her longer than you two have been dating!"
"Yeah you're right if I have to admit,"

While her friend and boyfriend finished up the shopping, Rusty had waltzed his way into Rhianne's house. Her roommate Sapphire Denon was off to her family's condo in Indianapolis- she was 23 and was nearly finished college; Rhianne often worried how she should pay for her next years in this house but she figured she and Mike would be roommates if she needed help by then.

"So you and I had a great time last night huh?" Rusty the 20-year-old mentioned innocently, his hands held wine glasses he set down on the dining table which was just a little circle one in the corner of the kitchen.
"We were only sleeping..."

"Well you were," Rusty snickered to the blonde girl from the Netherlands and she admired his hair that was a lot different than Mike's.

"You gave me a hickey!" Rhianne felt her neck, laughing a girlish laughter Rusty grew hypnotized by, he continued setting the table while Rhianne placed the food and cutlrey on the table. She never trusted other people with forks and knives.

Rhianne sensed his eyes on her curves but she ignored the tension in the room radiating off of Mike's brother, his goddamn brother that kept tracing her with his eyes.

Soon the two were sitting across from each other - the occassional joke thrown about and they heard the door open because Rhianne also gave Mike the house keys.

"Booze is here! he got carded and it was priceless!" Frankie revealed even though she promised she wouldn't speak of this to his girlfriend.

Mike carried the paper bag and sneezed. "You should really get doors for that thing," He said annoyedly hoping he wasn't going to become sick for the holidays.
Rhianne laughed and so did Rusty. Their laughter ricocheted in harmonous together. Rhianne forgot about her hickey. "Oh, hello, Orville..." Mike greeted his only brother, walking into the kitchen as Frankie trailed behind. She pointed to her neck to signify Rhianne about her own deformity on her neck.
"Shit," Rhianne cursed and covered it wishing she stayed in Mike's bed.

Mike immediately noticed as he opened the bottle of wine, he took his chair beside his blonde girlfriend and touched her neck. "We're passed that stage... what did you and Rusty do!"

"Nothing- it was all him!" Rhianne protested however Mike wasn't having any of this and he drank right out of the bottle while Rhianne served him some of her mashed potatos.

Rusty and Frankie exchanged wide- eyed stares since she sat beside him.
Were they in a helluva night with these two about to embark into one of the first few fights they were naturally gravitated to particpate in.
