"Do you have to go?" Mauve sadly pouted as she sat on her boyfriend's bed watching him shove more and more clothes into his suitcase.Mauve went over to Campbells house early in the morning to help him get his stuff together for his trip to Georgia over winter break, but instead she sat on his bed complaining about how long he'll be gone.
"Yes, I have to go," the boy came out from his closet with his arms full of more clothes, "It's Christmas." He dropped the clothes on his bed.
Mauve sighed grabbing a shirt from the top of the clothes pile and started folding it. "So?"
"So? I always spend Christmas with my family in Georgia." He takes the folded shirt from Mauve and places it neatly in his suitcase.
The girl stood and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I know, but I'm gonna miss you." Campbell let his hands rest on her hips fiddling with belt loops on her skinny jeans.
He raised his eyebrows with a teasing expression. "Ohh, you're gonna miss me huh?" He let his hands slide across the bare skin that peaked out at the end of her shirt.
Mauve shook her head "No. Nope," she tried to deny as she pulled apart from the boy but failed when he tightened his grip and started to tickle her.
Laughing uncontrollably, she walked back trying to wiggle out of his grip but instead hit the bed with the back of her knees and the both of them fell back onto the soft mattress.
Still laughing hard, Mauve begged him to stop. "Not until you admit how much you're gonna miss me." Mauve closed her mouth, being stubborn, trying to stop herself from laughing but failed again when the fluffy haired boy held himself over her body and started kissing all over her face. A kiss on the head a kiss on her nose, on both cheeks and lastly multiple pecks to her lips, both teens could feel the other smiling through the sweet kisses.
Giving his girlfriend one last peck before he pushed himself off of her, Cam sat up pulling her with him so they both sat facing each other. Mauve let out a huff of breath in attempt to blow away the loose hair that fell out from her loose ponytail.
Chuckling at her once again failed attempt to do something, Cam moved the hair from her face and behind her ear.
"I have a gift for you." Cam suddenly stood up and made his way to the other side of his bed and dug through his nightstand, pulling out a skinny black box with a ribbon bow tied around it.
"What's this?" The girl smiled lightly when he sat back down and handed her the gift. Slowly unraveling the red ribbon, she opened the box to reveal a silver necklace.
"I figured I'd give it to you early since I wouldn't be here to give it to you on Christmas." The necklace was a thin silver chain and right in the middle of it was her name, Mauve, in cursive with a bow that is an almost plum like shade of purple at the end of it.
Mauve beamed at the piece of jewelry taking it in her hand to examine it closer, "Oh, my-it's so pretty-"
"Do you like it?"
Mauve nodded her head excitedly "Can you...?" Mauve held the necklace out and Cam took it as the girl turned her back to him and bunched her hair into a hand.
Campbell brought the necklace over her head and around her neck locking it in place when he let go of the clasp. Reaching to her neck Mauve let her hand glide over the necklace getting used to the feeling of it being there.
Turning around Mauve lunged at him kissing him deeply knocking him onto his back the both of them laughing against each other.
Cam rolled them over, using his elbows to hold himself up, breathing heavily when he pulled apart from their kiss. He looks down at his girlfriend who stared back at him with her long raven hair spread messily on his sheets underneath her and her big blue dow eyes.
