Chapter 48

"Where are we going, Ted?" I asked and giggled as Ted pulled me after him. We ran on the bright streets of Norway, the beautiful, snow covered roofs of the warm, cozy houses which glistened due to the illumination by the colourful, chinese lanterns and lightening.

Ted's dad sincerely apologised to Ted and he forgave him. Ted's dad promised to visit Norway a few months later and spend some time with him. Till then, Ted was always welcomed to visit his father.

We reached till the end of the street when suddenly Ted stopped. I bumped into him and almost tripped over his leg.

"What the hell - "

"Look ahead," Ted cut me off. I frowned and looked to where Ted was pointing at. My irritation disappeared when I saw this giant Christmas tree all decorated with beautiful lights. My eyes shone as I clasped my hands in delight and excitement together. There were many people around the tree and a soft music was playing in the background. The people of this town were so cool. Some were dancing while others were admiring and clicking pictures.

I ran straight towards the tree and Ted followed me. We stood under the massive tree and I touched the golden bell hanging on the branches. The scene was mesmerising. I looked up at Ted and smiled.

He cupped my cheeks and I wrapped my arms around his waist. My heart hammered against my chest as I felt some warm, fuzzy feeling in my stomach. I felt pure joy as he leaned down and I kissed him. Our lips moved slowly and the pace increased.

My second kiss with Ted was just as beautiful as the first one. The ambience was beautiful maybe a little less than the northern lights of course, but still, it was perfect. I wondered how Ted managed to kiss me in these wonderful places and I couldn't be more grateful to him for making these moments the most special ones in my life.

The rest of the world was a blur as we kissed each other. We weren't the only couple kissing. There were many other couples so nobody noticed us, because that would be embarrasing.

We broke apart minutes later and smiled at each other. I touched Ted's firm jaw and said, "I adore you and your town, Ted. I really do. Everything here is amazing."

"Except that guy," Ted said and looked towards Bobby. Bobby grinned as he approached us and sang, "Ted and Abby under the tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

I laughed nervously and blushed. Ted groaned and said, "Shut up, Bobby. Stop with the nursery rhymes."

"What are you guys?" Bobby asked suddenly and I looked at Ted doubtfully. I fidgeted with my coat awkwardly.

"She's my girlfriend."

"Whoa, hold on right there. How can I be your girlfriend? And when did this happen?" I asked in astonishment.

"Now. We kissed and all, didn't we? So I assumed you to be my girlfriend," He said and smiled sheepishly. "Don't you want to be my girlfriend?"

I bit back my grin. I wanted to pounce on him and kiss him till death. But, I acted cool. I said without cracking my voice, "No, it's not like that. I'm suprised how we ended up together."

"It was written in our fate."
