Everything you want

Love Lives (Part 2)

"Amy. Amy, baby, come on, wake up." Steven whispered "Don't you have a flight to catch?" He asked, rubbing my arm to rouse me awake."

"Ugh, I do" I moaned "Unless you break my legs, then I don't"

Steven laughed "I'm not going to do that baby. It's Christmas Eve, and you gotta get there before Gabriel."

I blinked and looked at Steven "I know..." I whispered and sat up "I'd rather not."

"Hey baby, I know, but you'll be back in Boston soon, won't you?" Steve said, running his thumb on my cheek.

"Yeah, Boston. Gonna miss it" I frowned, looking down. Something was getting lost in translation.

"Hey baby, don't be sad. I'll be here too" Steven said, hugging me "Are you really that miserable with Gabriel?"

"I didn't use to be" I said, laying my head against Steven's chest "I used ti be happy. But somethings changed. I loved him. I don't know why I don't anymore." I said and buried my face into Steven's chest "I don't think I can just keep pretending much longer. I don't want to hurt him" I said, crying a little.

"Oh no Amy, don't cry" Steven said, tilting my head up to wipe the tears away "It'll be okay, I promise you" He said, and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around him and tried to kiss him when my phone rang. Steven pulled away and sighed "I think you need to get that."

I pouted and answered the phone.

It's cheesy how amazing this was. It was a stroke of damn luck. How it was possible, I have no idea. But it gave me another reason to love the snow.

"Amelia" My mother's voice said, as prim and proper as always "There's an awful blizzard about to hit soon. I cannot believe it! I don't know if you kids are going to be able to come here for Christmas!" She whined "Our first Christmas not together! I expected it when you married Gabriel, but I thought we'd have at least one more!"

"Mother, calm down. Gabriel and I will always come over for Christmas.One little snowstorm doesn't mean the end of traditions! Are you sure it's that bad?" I said

"Of course it's that bad, there is no such thing as a good snowstorm after all! Look, tell Lucas, Dawn, Elizabeth and Gabriel you're in dreaded Boston for the holidays" She said and hung up.

I looked at my phone and glanced at Steven "There's a snowstorm. I have to go. I need to tell Gabriel and the others we can't go to New York" I said and put my heels on, leaving the room.

"Amy?" Steven said, following me out "You can't"

I looked at him and raised an eyebrow "Why not?"

"You're in New York, remember?" Steven smirked.

"Oh... right... I have some calls to make" I said and took out my phone out.

"Wow, it's a blizzard!" I said, staring out with window "I have no idea what to do" I started playing with my hair, a nervous habit "I mean, I don't think you want me just staying around here, but what else can I do. There's a hotel barely two blocks away. There isn't that much snow on the ground, so I think I could drive my car there" I said, and looked down at my clothing "I think I need to put my clothes from before the party back on." I said, looking at my tan colored small dress "I think I'll look a little like a hooker." I turned around to get changed and ran right into Steven.

"Amy, you don't have to go" Steven said, grabbing my arms "Really. I'm alone here too since Erin can't come in either. I don't want to be though. Please. Stay."

I stared into Steven's beautiful brown eyes, trying not to break eye contact. "I... O-Of course I'll stay.." I said, positive I looked at red as a tomato "Of course." I said

"Come on, lets have breakfast" Steven brought us to the kitchen "Waffles good?"

"Waffles are perfect." I said, licking my lips.

It wasn't a perfect Christmas Eve, but I still loved it. We couldn't go out in the blizzard, so we did the next best thing; Sitting in front of a fire, cuddling on the couch and watching Christmas movies. After dinner, Steven and I were sitting around, drinking and watching the end of another.

"Amy" Steven said as we watched the ending credits "Can we talk for a minute?"

"Sure" I said, putting my head on his shoulder

"You love me" Steven said. I raised an eyebrow. He didn't seem upset or uncomfortable but just... unsure.

"Huh?" I said, sitting up a bit, realizing why he was saying this "Oh, shit, I didn't think you heard that. I'm sorry Steven, I don't want to make you weirded out. I know we've only known each other for a few weeks and we're both engaged and stuff but these last.. what, about two weeks? Yeah, two weeks have been great and you are just so... perfect and I just can't help how I feel and I've probably-" Steven put two fingers on my lips, cutting me off.

"Just shut up, Amy" He said in a very nice way before kissing me passionately.

I fell back on the couch with Steven, kissing him back. I felt his hand slowly inch up my leg and towards the hem of the dress I still didn't get out of.

My heart raced for a second when his hand went under my dress and I could feel myself panicking. What was happening? Should we be doing this? Did he love me too, or was he just lonely without Erin here right now?

"W-Wait" I said, sitting up a little "I-" I looked at Steven, his face full of concern, waiting for me to say something. I should ask my questions. I wanted to. But I couldn't. Really, I didn't need to. "Just shut up, Amy" I whispered under my breath and grabbed Steven by the shoulders and pulling him back down into another kiss.
