"You are just so mean!" Ashley squealed happily as she sat on Beth's lap, giggling like a damn school girl. I took a swig of my beer and looked over at the happy couple. The brunette just grinned as she nipped playfully at the redheads neck, making Ashley laugh even more and try to wiggle away, "No! I'm ticklish!" I was jealous, not of Beth or Ashley, I no longer had a small crush on Ash from Middle school, but what they had with one another, they loved each other dearly and you can just see in the way their eyes lit up when they saw each other walk into a room, when they say something at the same time and just giggle and tease one another and how protective Beth was of the shorter girl.

Everyone here pretty much had someone. I looked over at Matt and Jessica curled up together in the corner, sharing a hot cocoa and a blanket. Jessica had her hair down this time at the lodge, her hair fell around her in waves since she had allowed it to grow out and got rid of those (not at all appealing) pigtails, now she puts her hair into braids, which isn't much better but it works for her I suppose. Matt was whispering sweet nothings into her ear as she smiled contently and mouthed kisses on his neck every so often. Not wanting to be weird I moved my gaze somewhere else, but of course was met with another couple, this time it was Hannah and Sam. They looked even happier together than the other two couples if that was even possible, they both were just beaming, Sam was wearing a Santa Hat that Hannah insisted that she wear and giggled happily as Sam gave her Eskimo kisses every once in awhile as they drank eggnog. I'm pretty sure Josh had a crush on Sam when we were yonger, he was the first of Hannah's friends that he seemed to like and always picked fun at her and hung out with her even when the girls weren't around. Until the day Josh came to me and told me that his sister and her best friend were totally going at it in Hannah's bedroom if I wanted to go watch, Josh didn't because 'Ew dude, that's my sister.' I had just rolled my eyes and said how happy I was for the two of them finally figuring out they loved one another, Josh looked sad after I had said that and when I looked elsewhere I didn't notice the look he was giving me, as if he had been struggling with something.

Anyways--Thankfully Emily and Mike weren't there- not that I hated them, but wherever they were drama just seemed to follow- they said they had a prior engagement which didn't really bother the rest of us, Jessica told us they were visiting Emily's parents for Christmas then Mike's for New Years so we wouldn't see them until we went back to college, every time college is mentioned Josh just seems a bit nervous.

Looking around the room I realized I didn't see Josh anywhere, and honestly it was making my physically sick to be around all these happy people, I needed Josh.

I was in love with Josh, least that's what I believe this feeling towards him is. I don't want to have sex with him really, it's not out of the question of course but I mostly just want to do corny and cheesy things with him, hold his hand, cuddle, weep our sorrows together (We do that already but maybe add in some kisses here and there and I am set). But Josh could never love me the way I love him, Josh is essentially a ladies man, and he only ever goes out with the hottest girls he can find which are mostly thin model types, and I am not at all a model, nor female. I may of let myself go ever since my newfound feelings for Josh, It stressed me out a bit to be completely honest and eating was the best thing to do at the time, I'm not exactly self conscious about my weight, just a bit embarrassed since all my friends are thin and athletic, except for Ashley and Hannah, both have a bit of chub that their partners just seem to love. I stood up, hoping to find him and to stop sitting around watching everyone molest one another like a voyeur. I trotted over to the kitchen, maybe I stumbled a bit, you'd never know, and sat at the island where Josh was sitting, biting his lip harshly, making blood form and drip down his chin, I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head as I whistled to get his attention. He looked up quickly, releasing his lip and making a bit of blood splatter over to me, he winced and I waved a hand at him, it was completely fine and he knew it. We sat in completely comfortable silence as we drank, eventually Josh stood up and walked into the main party, screaming about getting the party started.

At this point he was drunk, not enough to forget everything, but just enough that he slurred his words and hung off of Chris.

"Chris. Come here!" Ashley said, standing in the corner, smiling. I walked over to her, a lazy smile settling on my gave as she spoke about something that I didn't pay attention to, too busy thinking how good those jeans make Josh's ass look, then she started walking towards me, making me stumble back and raise my hands.

"Whoa Ash, what are you--" I got cut off as my back slammed into something, I turned around when I heard a voice say Ouch, as did the other person. I locked eyes with Josh and just grinned, I looked around him to see Sam, Hannah, and Beth giggling. Ashley quickly ran past me and stood with them. I looked at them in confusion and Beth pointed upwards, I looked up and saw a mistletoe right between me and Josh. When I looked down I instantly was met with startling green eyes that were perhaps closer than I expected them to be. I opened my mouth to say something-- anything-- until something soft, slightly chapped and tasted faintly of copper pushed against my lips. I felt Josh's hands come up to cup my face as he deepened the kiss, I wrapped my hands around his neck to pull him closer and I felt him smile into the kiss, I started to put as much as I could into the kiss-- my desire, my want, my NEED, my desperation, my long years of longing, and most of all my love for him. It seemed he got the message as when we finally broke off for air he was staring at me in awe, cheeks dusted lightly with a light blush. His kisses were intoxicating, I pulled him back in and felt his hands wrap around my thick midsection, rubbing over my fat, I squirmed away and he looked disappointed, he grabbed my face and began to kiss my entire face, making my glasses go crooked, then, mumbling that I was beautiful and didn't need to hide my body from him, I could feel myself melt into him even more, almost crying at this point. I laid my head on the junction between his neck and shoulder, nuzzling him as much as I could and whispering my thank yous to him. The girls all shared a chorus of awes and I grabbed Josh's shirt in a tight hold, making my knuckles go white from the intensity of the hold. I felt his hands go over mine and my hands loosened up a hit as he intertwined our fingers.

"I love you." Josh said, I laughed a bit and looked down.

"I love you too, Merry Christmas." I mumbled, seeing it was midnight already, Josh grinned and pulled me into another kiss.
