The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow over the room. Izzy stirred awake, blinking sleepily as she took in her surroundings. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, bringing a warm smile to her lips.

She turned her head to see CC sleeping peacefully beside her, her features relaxed. The memory of their kiss, the laughter, and the easy conversation filled Izzy with a sense of contentment she hadn't felt in a long time.

Unable to resist, she snuggled closer to CC, feeling the warmth of her body against hers. The comfort of their closeness was soothing, and Izzy relished the moment, enjoying the simple pleasure of being together. She nestled her head against CC's shoulder, breathing in her familiar scent.

As Izzy settled back in, she felt CC stir slightly. CC's eyes fluttered open, and she looked down at Izzy with a sleepy smile. "Morning," she murmured, her voice husky from sleep.

"Morning," Izzy replied softly, her heart fluttering at the sight of CC's smile and the sound of her voice.

CC wrapped an arm around Izzy, pulling her even closer. "Did you sleep well?"

"Better than I have in a while," Izzy admitted.

CC's smile widened, and she pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Izzy's head. "Me too."

They lay there in a comfortable silence, the warmth of their embrace making the morning feel even more perfect. Izzy traced small circles on CC's arm, savoring the intimacy of the moment.

"Can't we stay like this forever?" Izzy whispered, draping her leg over CC's. Is it possible to miss something you never had before? she wondered, feeling an ache in her chest.

CC tightened her hold on Izzy, her voice soft and reassuring. "I wish we could," she said.

"Happy Christmas Eve!" A loud voice joined the room as the door burst open, startling the girls. Her friend Olivia seemed like she had other plans.

"Oh my god!" Olivia covered her eyes. "Are you two naked!?"

Izzy groaned, sitting up as she grabbed a pillow and threw it at Olivia. "No, you idiot, we're completely clothed."

Olivia peeked through her fingers, confirming they were indeed dressed. "Okay, good," she said, lowering her hands. "Because walking on both of you having sex was not in my bucket list."

Izzy rolled her eyes, her face flushing. "We weren't having sex, Liv," she said, exasperated.

Olivia grinned, unfazed. "Whatever you say—" she gasped, her eyes widening. "Wait, are you two together now?!"

CC and Izzy exchanged a quick glance, cheeks tinted pink. Izzy then looked back at Olivia, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yeah, we are."

Olivia squealed in excitement, jumping up and down. "I knew it! I knew it would happen eventually!" She rushed over and hugged them both. "You have no idea how tired I am of hearing Izzy go on and on about you," she said, looking at CC as she stood back up.

"Liv!" Izzy threw another pillow at her, but Olivia only laughed.

CC grinned, glancing at Izzy. "Oh really? What kinds of things has she been saying?"

Izzy's face turned even redder as she groaned. "Don't encourage her, CC."

Olivia wagged her finger playfully. "I think I'll keep that to myself for now. Just get ready and come downstairs. We've got a whole day of fun planned. Maya is waiting!" She spun around and bounced out of the room, leaving the door wide open.

Izzy sighed, shaking her head with a smile. "She's impossible."

CC laughed, pulling Izzy close. "But you love her anyway."

"Yeah, I do," Izzy admitted, hugging CC tightly. "Now, let's get ready before she comes back and starts spilling all my secrets."

"No, wait I want to know what she meant by that," CC teased, her hand playfully tugging at Izzy's shirt.

"It's nothing," Izzy chuckled, looking down to hide her flushed face. "Just... she's had to listen to me talk about you a lot."

CC chuckled, moving a strand of hair behind Izzy's ear. "Maybe you can tell me another time," she whispered, her thumb lingering gently on Izzy's ear. "You know I've always loved the way your ears go red."

Izzy's heart fluttered at the touch, her blush deepening. "You're gonna make me want to stay here forever," she admitted softly.

CC smiled, her gaze lingering on Izzy's face before she reluctantly pulled away. "As tempting as that sounds, it seems Olivia is getting impatient." They could hear Olivia's distant voice, urging them to hurry up before she comes back upstairs herself.

Izzy laughed, shaking her head. "Alright, alright. Let's get ready."

CC grinned and gave Izzy one last, playful nudge before they both moved to freshen up for the day.

All four of them spent the day enjoying a whirlwind of activities. They started with a cozy brunch at a local café, where they laughed over pancakes and coffee, savoring the relaxed start to their holiday.

Afterwards, they headed to a mini-golf course, where friendly competition and playful banter kept them both entertained. Izzy's competitive spirit shone through as she tried to outdo CC and her friends, but they ended up with more laughs than serious scores.

Next, they moved on to bowling, where CC showed off her surprisingly skilled technique while Izzy cheered her on, occasionally slipping in a strike of her own. They both ended up going against Maya, and Olivia, which Izzy wasn't happy with who had won that competition.

Their final stop was an arcade, where they spent hours trying their hand at various games, from skee-ball to air hockey. The day was a blur of fun, filled with laughter and moments. Izzy made sure to bring her Polaroid, taking pictures of the moment to put up on her wall.
