They decided based on the weather conditions, it turned out well. Gabby owns a boxing dojo and is Kane's private trainer for exercise. Kane is twenty-one years old and Gabby is twenty-two years old.

Gabby POV

We are adults now. More thoughts and ideas enter our minds and we go out searching for love in other places. It is December and it's Christmas season: Kane's favorite season. We are walking down the snowy road while admiring the red and green Christmas lights.

Kane suddenly asks," what is going to be my present for Christmas this year Gabby?"

After a short pause, I turn to face her and grab her red face in my clothed hands.

I answer," this..."

Then, I lean in and kiss her cheek. I move back to see her reaction. But, I couldn't. Kane grabbed my neck and pulled me back to her face with force. My eyes widen and in the next moment, our rosy lips are touching. We move them in sync.

My heart begins to beat out of my chest. I shut my eyes tightly and begin to embrace Kane slowly. My hands travel around her waist to her lower back.

To make my heart flutter with an intense rhythm, her hands begin to caress my neck and swiftly move to my jawline. I'm feeling so many things at this moment that I can't maintain our kiss. I back away and catch my breath. She does too.

I let out," wow."

Kane chuckles," that is what I wanted for Christmas hehe."

My brain can't seem to revert back to the way it was. My ecstatic. Be mine, Kane. I love you...

My breath hitches and I stare into Kane's eyes lovingly," will you be mine?- I mean - will you be my girlfriend?... please?..."

Kane stares at my pupils intensely for an instant. I could see my whole life in her clear grey eyes.

She answered with a tight embrace around me. She then cheers," I would LOVE TO! I LOVE YOU!"

My muscles tense and my knees become weak. How could she have so much power over me? I love you too.

I see her tilt her head upward to meet my gaze and so I admire her lit up face sprinkled in shades of red and pink.

I denounce," I love you too... way more than I could ever love anything else in the world."

Her eyes become teary and she hides her face back in my chest. My heart will explode if she doesn't break the hug.

She releases her grip from my waist and then holds my hand that is protected by my black glove. She drags me up the hill and exclaims," let's go home!" I smile at her and we head home.
