Was she the one?

Night before Christmas

                         The sky was heavy with sullen snow clouds and it was 6.26 p.m. in the evening. Everyone in my family were busy moving up and down getting prepared for the most awaited festival of the year that is Christmas. The atmosphere was enlighten with the presence of my elder brother Jack, he arrived at California yesterday. My elder sister Monica insisted me to join them decorating the Christmas tree, "sister I'm gonna lay on my bed for awhile I will catch you guys later" I said. Well I was on my cozy bed, I literally roll up and down not knowing what to do. So I decided to switch on my laptop to play some video game as before I could had switch on my laptop  my mum yelled "Jake come down our guests are about to arrive". "Wait what , guests? I don't remember anything about guests visiting us mum" I yelled from my room, mum replied " now you know so go put on some nice clothes". So I came down wearing my new navy blue jeans and a red shirt that had a Santa Claus picture on it. " Hey boy your looking good " a voice from the back of me as I just came down from the stairs. As I turn to thank the person , I was surprised to see Jessica's mum and dad in the living room with my family members but principally Jessica was the one who I laid my eye on. I took a seat beside my brother and whispered to him " who invited Jessica's family ?" , my brother gave me a puzzle look. "I thought mum told you that Jessica's parents were coming over and yeah Lucia invited Jessica over" Jake said.  " No mum only told me that there were guests coming over she didn't mention who was it anyways thanks for telling me a last minute info " I said. I caught Jessica staring at me like I'm the only one who she sees when I whispered to my brother, I tried smiling back but it was hard to curve my lips whenever I think about the conversation I had with her.  

                                                     A few minutes later, my parents and Jessica's parents moved to the kitchen to have some political talks that had been recently happening at California. Well it was only left with me , Lucia , Jack, Monica and Jessica in the living room. "Hey guys lets build a snowman together, it would be rather fun than sitting on the couch talking about lame stories" said my sister Monica. Well everyone agreed to Monica's idea and went out to build a snowman together. The snows were falling down to the ground like white feathers but snows were rounded shape instead of irregular ones like feathers. As I turned around to throw snowballs to Jack, I saw Jessica jumping sky high to catch those snows and every time she jumps things that stood around me freeze for a moment. That's when I knew something about her that tickles my heart. As the snow flakes landed on both of her palms when she reached for it, my stomach growled like an empty cave with a roar of a dragon. "What's wrong with me why am I so into her"(imaginary voice). I was firm with my settlement of not talking to her no matter the consequences but it all changed went she came beside me and told " I'm sorry for the other day at the mall, I shouldn't told you about boys that way" with a wide smile waiting for my forgiveness. I gave her a smile that shows an indication of I had forgiven her , "ready for some snowballs war" she told with a grin. " I was born ready girl" I replied with a throw of snowballs to her. Well we had great time playing snowballs and it was time for her to get back home . It didn't end there when she secretly gave me a tiny piece of paper and a rectangular shaped box to me, " don't open it now, open it once I leave because I have gift anxiety issues" she whispered. Once she had left , I flew to my room to open the letter . It was written:

                                                 " Hey Jake , I'm not really good with writing letters but I wanted to just

                                                    say I'm sorry and remember to open the box ^_^. Try smiling once in a while.

Well I opened the box and there was a chocolate, I still had no clue about the concept of gifting a chocolate every time you ask for forgiveness but I knew she put an effort to say she was sorry. As before I went to bed I saw my phone light flickered across the room because  I had already switch off my room light. So I went up to my phone and saw a message from Jessica " Merry Christmas grumpy boy and I hope you loved the gift with a love heart emoji ". At that very moment I knew it might be a great start after all as I saw a shooting star zapped across the moon.
