Coming Home For Christmas

Chapter 1: Coming Home

I'm on my way home driving in my black Mustang and All I Want For Christmas Is You By Mariah Cary comes on the radio and I cant help but think about Merriman, god how I have missed her. It has been 7 years since I have seen her. I just graduated from a collage in California, I have a bachelors degree in culinary. I just got off the exit and am pulling into town, Ashely is at my house waiting for me with my parents.

As I pull into the driveway I see Ashely's blue convertible and I cant stop smiling as memories of me and Ashely back in high school come flooding back. I get out of my car, grab my bag and head towards the front door of where I grew up. Before I can even get to the door it is opened and Ashely comes running out and hugs me,

"Oh my god Vicky!!! Its been way to long!" she screamed. I just laugh and hold her tight.

She pulls back and says,

"your going to love what I got you,"

"what ever you say ishwy." I say with a laugh.

" Stop calling me that" she says in a winy voice. And all I can do is laugh.

We walk in the house and my mom tells me that everyone is in the living room talking and catching up, I smile. when I walk in people come over and talk to me asking me questions about cali and collage. I am so ingrosed in a conversation that I don't notice my Christmas present from Ashely walk through the door. Ashely walks up in front of the tree and gets everyones attention,

"ok everybody can I get your attention, thank you I just want to welcome everybody and say how happy I am that Vicky could come and spend Christmas back home. Now Christmas is never the same with out some music, well most people don't know but Vicky is an amazing singer and well I think she should come up here and sing us some songs"

I smile and walk up to tree and she hands me a mic,

" ok as much as I don't like to sing in front of people, I will make an exception because its the holidays." they all cheer and I just put on I'm coming home for Christmas and bealt it out.

After a few Christmas songs I stop singing and go into the kitchen to get a drink, because if I'm being honest I could use one. I pore me a vodka and tonic and sit at the kitchen bar siping it every now and then. All of a sudden I get tapped on the shoulder and as I turn around in my chair I speek,

"Ashely I'm not sing-" I stop talking when I see Merriman in the flesh wearing a tight red dress that shows a good amount of cleavage and ends about mid thigh.

"oh my- wow you look hot- I mean beautiful," I say with wide eyes looking her up and down.

She just laughs, god her laugh is so amazing,

" its fine Victoria I just didn't think you noticed me earlier so I thought I would say hi,"

"no I mean, wow I really cant talk."

she just laughs and sits down next to me, takes my drink out of my hands and takes a sip of it, god the way her lips look and how she licks them every now and then it has me mesmerized. I am broke out of my trance by Ashely talking behind us,

"ah so you found your present,"

I look up at her with a puzzled look,

"excuse me?"

Merriman just laughs,

" She means me, I am her Christmas present to you, I had no clue you were coming into town so she said that she wanted me to come and surprise you," she says rooling her eyes.

Ashely just laughs and says something around the lines of have fun and walks away. I cant help but role my eyes at her but then turn my attention to the beautiful woman beside me,

"Do you want to see the room that I grew up in?" I ask out of the  blue.

"why not I need to get away from all of these people anyways," she says with a smile.

We get up and I help her up the stairs and lead her to my room, as I open the door I take in the red walls and the world of Warcraft stand up still up in the corner of the room right next to my desk.

"wow this is nothing like what I expected," she says with a laugh.

" Is that a good or bad thing."

"A little bit of both,"

As she walks around I go over to my bed and sit down and put my head in my hands, god how can i still be in love with this woman after all of these years,  as a tear falls down my face i feel her hand under my chin pulling my head up so that i am looking up at her,

"Vicky whats wrong?" she says her voice laced with worry.

"I just really missed you is all,"

She just laughed, and pushed a loose strand of hair behind my ear,

"You should have just said so," she says as she hiked up her dress and straddles me,

"god i missed you," she says and i can sense lust in her voice. Before i can say anything back her lips are on mine in a soft yet passionate kiss.

After a minuet or two of kissing she slowly breaks the kiss and puts her forehead on mine,

"god i don't know how much longer i can control myself, i have loved you since you walked into my classroom in 10th grade," she says out of breath.

i just smile and look at her lips, god the felt so amazing and they tasted of the vodka and tonic from earlier, i pull her in for another kiss but i deepen it a little more but not to much.

" i love you, I always have," i say with lust clear in  my voice.

But of course all things must come to an end, my mom calls from downstairs telling us that people are leaving, so we decide to go downstairs.
