May practically ran to meet Ryan, she was scared he'd left because as she got close she didn't see him sitting on the fence. But when she got there he was sitting in grass behind it. "There you are" he said smiling, "yeah, I'm sorry I lost track of time" she said sitting next to him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Wow, so I'm an after thought?" He joked, "oh no, you're the only thing on my mind at all times" she said sarcastically, even though she wasn't entirely joking, "I was hanging out with my brothers"
"Jamie?" He asked, "No! Kayce" she laughed. "Oh shit" he said surprised, "yeah I know. I think he might come back, and things can go back to how they were, between Kayce, Lee, and I at least"
"That's great May." She smiled as she laid back, resting her head on her hands, "so what did you do all day besides think of me?" He laid back next to her, "hard to say, all I remember is thinking about you." May rolls her eyes, "what? It's true."
"Yeah I'm sure" she laughed. She turned to face him, resting her head on her elbow, he did the same. "Tell me about something that makes you happy"
"Like What?"
"I dunno, anything. It's getting close to the holidays, are you one of those people who are crazy into halloween?" May laughed, "No, I'm actually one of those people who is crazy about Christmas. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, November first is Christmas."
"What about Halloween? And thanksgiving?" He laughed, "both are just days, Christmas is a season"
"Christmas is literally also just a day"
"Not in my mind" she chuckled, "alright alright, what about Christmas makes you happy?" He asked. "Did I say it made me happy?"
"You didn't have to"
"Okay, fair. Uh I don't know, it just seems like everyone is happier around Christmas. I guess there's something about the smell of cinnamon and the colourful lights that put people in a good mood." She looked up and smiled remembering her favourite memory from childhood. Ryan didn't mind her sudden silence, he just loved watching how happy she was in that moment. "But my favourite day ever wasn't even Christmas, it was November first. I was around five years old, it was the year my mother died. It was halloween and I don't remember why but I was having a bit of a breakdown" she chuckled, "and I remember trying to cry myself to sleep when Lee came to wake me and Kayce up in the middle of the night. He took us to the living room where there were stacks of boxes waiting for us, and he sat us by the clock, counted down to midnight, Then he jumped up, threw a Santa hat on and said "it's Christmas." We spent the whole night putting up the decorations, listening to Christmas music on the lowest volume to not wake my dad. But that didn't even matter because Lee was dancing around the living room, doing anything to make us laugh, and it worked but it woke up our father. He walked out all angry, "what the hell is going on here'" she mimicked, "but I think he saw what Lee was doing because he went back to bed after that. We did that every year till I was ten years old. Eventually my dad stopped coming out when we were too loud, I think he expected it at that point because we definitely didn't get any quieter" she laughed, "why'd you guys stop?" He asked, "I don't know, I guess Lee just got older, had a life of his own and didn't have the time. But I truly think he saved us by doing all that, most of my memories from childhood are sad and not worth remembering. But that I will never forget." Ryan scooted closer to May, their noses were practically touching. He cupped her cheek, "thank you for telling me that story," she smiled, "thank you for listening." He leaned in and kissed her, as his kisses grew needier, May pulled herself flush against his body, his flipped himself of top of her and one thing led to another.......
