Just A Holiday Romance? || Corbyn Besson

1.4

Of course my first kiss had to be ruined by my phone going off. Corbyn pulls away and looks at me. I look at my phone and see that its Elliott. Do I answer? I put my phone back in my pocket hoping it doesn't go off again but it does. Multiple times.

"You know, I don't mind if you answer it. It seems important, they have phoned you loads." He explains. I decide to call him back.

"Hey El. Woah, slow down I cant here you. Oh okay, I'll be there in a minute. Bye." I sigh as I hang up. 

"Is everything okay?" Corbyn asks concerned.

"Not really. My friend's parents wont let him stay. Would it be okay if I went back inside?" I reply. As much as I don't wanna go, I have to.

"Yeah, go see your friend. I'll head home." He commented.

"No, come with me. I'm sure the Bradley's wont mind. You don't need an invitation.  I'll say you're my plus one." I try to persuade him but it doesn't work.

"Sky, just go see you friend. I'll see you tomorrow. Okay?" He smiles. I nod.

I go to go back inside but stop. I run back to Corbyn and give him a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you for tonight. See you tomorrow." I say as I run inside.

"Elliott!" I shout as I run throw the party room.

"Sky! Nice outfit." He jokes looking me up and down. I forgot I was wearing Corbyn's jumper. "Skylar, my stupid parents wont let me stay here until new year." He exclaims. I feel so bad.

"Oh Elliott, I'm so sorry." I say.

At this point mum and dad walk over to find out what's going on. We explain and they give Elliott a really sympathetic look.

"I'm going to have to get on a plane on my own. Unless, will you come with me Sky? You can stay with us. I know it wont exactly be like Christmas in New York but at least I wouldn't be alone." He smiles. That just made him sound so selfish. I've never heard him put himself before anyone else, it's not like him. 

I look at mum and try to send her a mother-to-daughter code telling her to tell him that they want me here for Christmas and luckily,  she catches on. Thank god.

"Oh Elliott we are really sorry but we want Sky here with us for Christmas. Its bad enough not having James here." She tells him. I love my mum and I cant wait for tomorrow. I do feel bad for Elliott though.
