Two days after
"Oh that one's for you Aim'" Justin handed me a small package wrapped in blue paper while Ayla, Sara, Maya and the boys were searching for other presents under the Christmas tree . I carefully unwrapped his gift revealing a snow globe filled with sparkles and colours and as I looked at it more I realized that the colours were actually a pride flag .
"Justin that's so kind..." I was so moved by this I could barely keep my tears in "Thank you"
He smiled at me before turning to Sara helping her to put on the necklace he just offered her . This was a perfect night, with perfect people . We had decided to set up a late Christmas day at Ayla's house to be together and this moment had just joined my core memories . And as a last minute surprise my sister had came home two days ago being the most amazing gift of all . She met Ayla yesterday and I couldn't have been happier when I saw them laugh together .
At midnight I went out on the balcony letting the fresh night air invade my lungs admiring the city lights going off one by one . I closed my eyes enjoying the silence when I felt a soft blanket on my shoulders . I turned to see her face her green eyes highlighted by the moonlight .
"Hey" she smiled smoke escaping her mouth .
"Hey" I replied putting half the blanket on her .
"I wish moments like this could last forever" she put her head on my shoulder .
"It can... we could stay on this balcony forever if you want to"
She chuckled "Like Juliet waiting for her Romeo"
"Except that there are two Juliets" I smiled .
" I've never been a big fan of Dicaprio anyway"'
I held her hand in the dark not wanting to let go of her for a second . It was still fragile, still new but this was also the strongest thing that could exist .
"What are you thinking about?" she whispered squeezing my hand .
"About how strong it feels..." I replied quietly closing my eyes .
"Scary isn't it?"
"A little"
"I think that's what makes it so special"
"I thinkg you're right"
"Aimee?" she turned to face me taking both of my hands in hers .
"Yes"
"I think I'm ready to... you know, like, fuck I'm so awkward" she laughed nervously .
"It's alright Ayla" I smiled "You're sure you want to?"
"I'm sure"

A small ray of light was entering the room, small dust particles floating in the air like fireflies . Her head on my chest was going up and down along my breaths . Feeling her skin against mine was giving me chills but seing her so peacefull was surely what touched me the most . I could still feel her hands on my body, her kisses on my neck... This was a night I would never forget...
I sensed her head moving and her eyes soon found mine as she turned her sleepy face towards me .
"Hey..." I whispered caressing her hair .
She smiled burying her face in the crook of my neck her fingers drawing circles on my arm .
"Aimee?" she said her lips brushing my skin .
"Yes?"
"I want a hot chocolate"
"Okay" I chuckled "But you'll have to stand up"
"Umm" she groaned holding me tighter "Chocolate can wait"
"I agree" I smiled kissing her head .
"Hey" she faced me straightenning up .
"What?" I asked laughing .
"Nothing, you're just cute" and with that she pressed a kiss on my lips making me lose my senses once again . She wrapped the covers around us as she sat on my lap not breaking her kiss .

"Okay there you go" I placed a hot mug in front of her smoke escaping in the air .
"Thank you" she smiled "Hot chocolate in bed, that's a first"
I kissed her on the cheek seating next to her before I heard Justin calling me from downstairs .
"Ugh I'm gonna kill him" I groaned standing up .
"You got my permission" she laughed as I walked away .
Justin was in the kitchen apparently struggling with the coffee machine while the boys were still asleep on the couch .
"Oh here you are, do you know how this thing work?" he asked scraching his head .
"Justin"
"What?" he looked at me surprised .
"Did you really just made me come downstairs for this?"
"Umm...yes? Why- oh okay I see why" he chuckled .
"You're lucky I like you" I said turning on the machine .
"I know I know" he smiled proud of him "thanks"
"You're welcome" I replied .
"You had a goodnight?" he asked before I went back upstairs a smirk on his face .
I gave him the finger as I climbed the stairs but I couldn't refrain a smile as I saw her on the bed all wrapped up in the covers, a mug of hot chocolate in her hands .
