Summer Nights City Lights

Chapter 7

Margaret POV
Night before Christmas

I sat up in bed at 11pm because of a horrible damn dream. I groaned and plopped my face into my pillow. This had been happening for the past few days every time I fall asleep. After teaching the advanced class one of my hardest choreography's Sean basically had to carry me upstairs to my bed. I sighed and got out of bed. It's already 11:10 on Christmas Eve and everyone as fallen asleep. I walked to my bathroom and looked in the mirror disgusted of how I looked. My hair was basically a birds nest and my loose white pyjama shirt was off my shoulder and my black pyjama shorts were starting to untie but thank god they still stayed up. I put my hair in a messy bun and tied my shorts again not caring about my shirt. I walked out and came to Sean's room. This has basically been apart of my night routine if I couldn't fall asleep or if I had a nightmare. I walked right in and saw Sean asleep shirtless and I smiled. His face was peaceful and his breathing was slow and calm. I walked towards the bed and went underneath the covers and he instantly put his arm around me protectively.

"Another nightmare?" He whispered sleepily and I nodded. He pulled me closer into his chest nuzzling his face into my neck.

"Wanna go make food?" He asks me and I turned around smiling like crazy.

"Hell yeah." I whispered making him chuckle as he sat up. He got out of bed quietly and put on a black t-shirt. He came towards me and grabbed my hands hoisting me up putting his arm around my shoulders. We made our way downstairs trying not to wake anyone up. We checked around the corner to see if Marie went to sleep already and we smiled at each other. Sean and I tiptoed our way into the kitchen and tried to keep our voices low.

"Whatcha wanna make?" He asks and instantly cupcakes come to mind.

"I'm craving cupcakes." I smiled and he laughed at my random craving.

"Ok then what cupcakes do you want?" He smirked and chocolate came to mind and I smiled.

"Red Velvet." I smiled and he nodded in approval.

"Good choice. Let's go get the stuff." He said and we got our recipes and ingredients ready

40 min later

Sean was whisking our batter because we didn't wanna make noise with the electric mixer while I was starting to prepare the cream cheese icing. As I was mixing everything together Sean was looking at his phone reading the recipe. I smiled evilly and took a swipe of icing from my bowl and swiped it on his face. I tried holding in my laughter but failed. Sean looked at me evilly and my smile dropped.

"Sean. Wait please no. Let's talk about t-this." I said laughing nervously as be backed me up onto the island. He kissed my cheek making me smile but before I could reply he swiped my face with the icing. We bursted out laughing and I wiped the icing off his face.

"Here." I said wiping the icing off his face laughing lightly. He laughed and wiped my cheek. We stopped laughing and just stared at each other. My heart felt like it would beat out of my chest. I parted my mouth to say something but I couldn't find my voice. Sean pulled me closer to him and his hand went to my waist while the other one nwas on my cheek. He brought his lips closer to mine making my breath hitch. The clock suddenly rang throughout the house making us jump back.

"Uhm.... Merry Christmas..." I whispered and smiled slightly while turning around to fix the cupcakes and put them in the oven. I sighed quietly and started to fix the cupcake liners. Me and Sean worked in silence for about... 10 seconds.
