fourteen

christmas actually came around a lot sooner than i thought it would and i was so excited to fly back home and be wrapped up in nate's arms. bryan said he was picking me up from the airport; not going to lie, i was a little disappointed that it wasn't going to be nate, but at least i'd get to see my brother.

"bryan!" i exclaim once i see him, running towards him. the smile grows on his face as i leap into his arms and hug him tightly.

"woah, slow down mia." he laughed, pushing me off him. "i don't want people telling me we make a cute couple."

i rolled my eyes but slightly laughed. "whatever."

"no shawn?" bryan furrows his eyebrows, looking behind me to see in shawn was lagging behind.

i press my lips together, "we'll talk about it when we get home."

"or, you can tell me now." bryan raised his eyebrow, giving me such a brotherly look.

i sigh. "fine. i broke up with shawn."

bryan's eyes went wide as he stared at me. "are you serious?" i nod. "dad's gonna flip."

"and he's gonna flip even more when i tell him i'm back with nate."

"maloely?" i nod again. "holy shit, mia." bryan adds.

"yeah, i know." i exhale. "this is one christmas we truly won't forget. i'm bringing him over for christmas dinner." i say as bryan grabs my suitcase and we walk out the airport doors together. every year since i was little we always had a big dinner with just our family and sometimes friends. its always on christmas eve, which is two days away.

"i guess bringing my new girlfriend,
nadia, to meet the family that day won't be such a good idea anymore." bryan says. i stop in my tracks, making bryan stop too and look at me in confusion.

"you have a girlfriend? when they hell were you gonna tell me?" i exclaim.

"when were you going to tell me you were back with maloley?"

i twist my lips together before answering, "at christmas."

"same here." he continues walking. i shake my head and follow behind him.

"drop me off a nate's." i tell bryan when we're inside his car.

"why?" he asks as he starts it.

"i haven't told dad i'm in town yet and i would like to spend these two days with my lovely boyfriend before it all goes to hell." i smile sarcastically towards my brother.

"fuck, i've missed you so much." nate whispered into my hair as i held onto him as if my life depended on it.

"you guys couldn't wait until i left?" bryan grimaces as he brings my bags inside nate's house.

"aye, thanks for bringing he rover man." nate says when he lets go of me, but me being the clingy girlfriend, i keep my arm around him and lay my head on his chest.

"no problem," he nods. he looks at us both. "good luck, you'll need it." he says towards nate before leaving.

"where are the rest of the guys?" i ask, facing nate fully.

"sammy and kaitlyn are out on a date and swazz is with the jacks." he explains. "so that you, mia villegas, and i, nate maloley, are alone in this empty for a few hours. what ever shall we do?" he puts on a thinking face.

i inwardly roll my eyes. i smirk which causes him to return in. i lift myself up on my tiptoes and hover my lips slightly over his, "we can bake cookies." i whispered seductively.

nate furrows his eyebrows, "uh, that's not what i had in mind."

"too bad, it's what i do." i say with a smirk and grab onto his wrist, dragging my sexually frustrated boyfriend towards the kitchen to make a shit ton of cookies.

boy did i miss him.
