Lightly edited cause I'm tired!!


Wynter

More snow starts to sprinkle from the sky as Nick steers the sled. Although the warmth of the sled was accommodating, the snowfall from the sky still sent chills through my body.

"Here" he takes off his jacket and drapes it around my shoulders.

"Thanks." I grumble, gripping the ends of each jacket. Instantly, I felt warm.

We sat in silence as the road continued on.
A few people standing on the streets gasped and took out their phones., snapping pictures of the big red sled. It wasn't everyday that a big red sled came plowing down the streets.

"Look mommy! Look!!" A little girl with brown hair leaps up down, pointing at the sleigh.

Great....
We were a spectacle.

"I thought we were supposed to keep a low profile" I frown, covering my profile so no one would recognize me.
He shrugged and steered left.
"I was supposed to do a lot of things but you know me. I don't do rules"

I smirked as I heard his sentiments. I looked at his profile before forcing my eyes straight.
"So...you wanna talk about that kiss?" He says, finally lifting his eyes from the road to face me .

"No.." I grumbled, crossing my arms, "I would like to talk about how fast this thing goes."

Nick let out a lazy chuckle before lifting the reigns to increase the speed.

"I erased their memories. Well, Drew did. They will only remember the last part of our photoshoot. Before the kiss."

"Even Lizabeth's memory?" I asked.

"Yea" he whispered, "Drew also deleted the last frame of pictures."

"Thanks" I whispered, looking at his profile once again. I lifted my palm to dust off a few specks of snow that had sprinkled in his curly brown hair.

His eyes scanned the road, making sure our path was clear. "Your house is 20 blocks away."  I was about to ask how he knew but I remembered he was part magic.

"Great" I groaned, looking around for a taxi of some sort. This sleigh ride would take forever and the last thing I wanted to do is be stuck in a sled spend it with Nick.
You saw how easily we kissed!
I couldn't control myself around him.

"Wynter, can we just talk?"

"Talk about what? Me? You? The council?
I bet that meeting went great!" I smirked sarcastically.

"I didn't go to the meeting" Nick revealed.

"What! Why not?" I was suprised but then again, ot was Nick Claus. He wasn't too motivated to be Santa in the first place.

"Because...." Nick hits the reigns once more, trying to distract himself from the question.

"Because what Nick?"

He remained quiet, only staring foward.

"Say it!

"I don't see my future as Santa... I told you since the first time I met you. That title isn't for me."

"But Nick? Your legacy? The clause line..." I sighed, trying to comprehend why he was so blasé about his reality.

"It doesn't matter either way. Jack Frost is in the running for the title of Santa."

"Jack Frost as the new Santa? Nick, come on. Jingles would be a better replacement than him"

Nick chuckles as Jingles looked back at us.
