For the next three days, Dad's mood has been dramatically getting better. He's still hurting, but there hasn't been any unplanned secret emotional breakdowns nor late night crying. In fact, it's almost like nothing happened since another story about some celebrity being robbed by his ex wife took over, blowing my mother situation out of existence.

"There's a snowstorm coming in today." Dad called to Clarke, William, and I from the couch.

Clarke squealed know excitement before putting the finishing touches of her gingerbread house. She licked the frosting off her fingers and turned to us. "Does that mean your fairytale kiss will actually happen?"

"You told her?" William jabbed my in my shoulder with his elbow.

"What fairytale kiss?" Dad called.

"If course I told her. Shes my twin sister. Either way, she would of found out." I looked up at him. "Besides it's not really a kiss. More like a fake kiss."

"What this talk about a kiss?" Dad said a little louder.

"Oh come on. This has to be your first kiss." Clarke looked at me. "Can you imagine how jealous everyone gonna be at school?"

"We're not gonna actually kiss." I explained. "More like stopping before our lips collide into each other."

Dad appeared at the counter, giving all of us a cold eye. We all froze in our spot, staring at him.

"What fairytale kiss?" He asked again. Looking over at William.

"Cassie and William have to kiss in front of the paparazzi downtown today." Clarke blurted out.

Williams cheeks burned bright red and I'm pretty sure so were mine at this point.

"We're not actually gonna kiss." I also tell him.

"You better not." He looked over William this time. "You out of all people aren't taking away my baby girl special moment."

"Yes sir." William said.

"I mean if you want to take away my special moment I wouldn't mind." Clarke mumbled. Clarke wasn't obsessed with William anymore. Only because he's been living at our house for the past five days. The feelings sort of died down.

"No!" Dad yelled.

Even though Dad isn't the most overprotective father in the world, he did care about our special moments being taken away from us from people who don't deserve it. To him a kiss isn't something we should just give away for free and he's definitely taught us that once we knew what kissing actually was. He told us we deserve someone special, someone who means a lot that if you do let them take away your first kiss, you won't regret it after wards. According to him a kiss is a commitment. And according to stories I've heard as a child, a kiss tells you if you belong with that person. If you guys are actually soulmates.

"Do you guys wanna go grab something to eat? I'm starving." I quickly change the subject. I really don't want to think about almost kissing William right now. We've been putting it off until the last day and since Angie said it has to be a fairytale like kiss; we decided to do it when it snows. What's more romantic then kissing in the snow? Well kissing someone you love is one.
