Winter Wonderland

Chapter 2

[Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our heart <3]  

I went into couple more stores and bought more things. I ditched the clothes that I lazily picked this morning and put on the clothes I purchased. I looked in the big mirror and my outfit was perfect. I was wearing the boots I was previously wearing, brown sweater tights, cream knit dress and white scarf.    

 *What a bright time, it’s the right time to rock the night away.* My phone was ringing with Jingle bell rock.

“Hello?” I answered my cell.

“Meet me in the food court.” It was Cole.

“Why?” I ask.

“Just come.”

“Fine..” I said.

I saw my brothers and their old friends, so I start to walk over to them. A tall, hot guy catches my attention in the group. OH SH*T…I stop and tries to walk the other direction.

Jake saw me and waves me over. Thanks bro! [Note the sarcasm]

“Hey everyone…” I said to everyone. There was five guys and two girls, one I don’t remember  

“Hey girly!” Hailey came up and gave me a big hug. She was one of Cole’s childhood friends. I always thought they would make a good couple but they never past the friend zone.

“Hey!” I said, returning the hug.

“How’s college? Isn’t it way better than high school?” Hailey asked.   

“Eh, it’s alright.” I answered.

“Mmm. Staying away from guys?”

“Nah, why would I do that?” I grin at her. I miss this kinds of conversation, were it’s not always serious.

I look over and made eye contact with Tyler who was now seating, the guy that I thought was hot couple minutes ago, also the guy that I did it with last summer. I regret it and wish it never happened. Just looking at his eyes make me melt inside. Then I remember why I gave in so easily that one night. 

“Hahahaha.”

“Casey, tell me who laid a finger on you and I will find them.” Cole said sternly.

I look over where Cole was, breaking the hatred stare between me and Tyler. Cole was leaning on a metal gate with one of his friends. 

“No one.” I gave out an innocent smile.

“Psh..” Hailey said. She knows me to well.  

“Well we better start heading out, it’s almost one.” Jake said, looking from his phone. “Let’s meet up at our house?” He asked the group.

He knew I wasn’t virgin but he didn’t know who I did it with. Tyler and Jake are best friends, so Tyler was always coming over since middle school, where they met.

“Yeah.” Everyone said.

“Ight.” Jake stands up and starts bro hugging the guys and normal hugs with the girls, fallowing with Cole.

I hug Hailey and wave to the guys.

“Bye Case.” Tyler said, giving me his flirty smile. I wanted to slap his face to wipe that smile off. After that night, I found myself alone in my bed, only wearing his t-shirt. I’ve tried calling and texted him couple times before I had to go, but no text or a call back, asshole.

I just roll my eyes and keep walking to the exit. I guess Jake saw.

“Whoa, what’s wrong with you? You just shopped.” Jake pointed out.

“Nothing’s wrong with me.” I quickly reply.

“Gosh, girls these days.”

If only he knows, he just doesn’t put the pieces together. That night, was an away party for everyone that was going away for college, Tyler was there. He came up to me half way to the party, I was outside alone, seating on a bench getting some fresh air.

*FLASHBACK*

  “Hey, what you doing out here alone?” I turn around to see a 6 foot tall, buff, with light brown hair, walking towards me.

“Just getting some fresh air.” I answer.

He sat next to me. “Oh, yeah, it’s pretty crowded in there.”

“You’re telling me.”

“Ha. You excited for college?” He turns his face, making eye contacts.

“Not even. I don’t want to leave this place.”

“Oh, I know how you feel but you’ll grow out of it in couple months.”

“I doubt it.”

“I’m pretty sure. At least were coming back in December.” 

“Yeah..”

“Casey…?” He says with seriousness in his voice.

“Tyler?”

He leans in, planting his lips on mine. I froze; I was never expecting this, especially from Tyler. He moves his lips and I fallowed. He was deepening the kiss. Everything around me magically disappeared. I wanted more. I felt his hands rubbing my back, while my arms were wrapped around his neck.

He started going down to my neck, giving little kisses. I let out a low moan.

“You have no idea, how long I wanted to do this.” He said from my neck, starting to go up to my lips again.

“Why now?” I ask.

“It’s been too long for me to hold back, and plus your going away.” He answers, with our faces really close. His eyes were shining against the lights. I gave in and kiss him. I got on top of him.

He was exploring my back with his hands making down to my ass. I could tell he was hesitating, so I grab his hands and guide them to my ass. I moan.   

“Wow, I never knew you were like this.” Tyler said with a shock expression.  

“I can be wild.” I whisper to his ear, trying to be seductive.
