Mike

"Happy Christmas season Mike!" El exclaimed as she walked into the kitchen where my I was helping Holly make Christmas cookies,

"It's actually Merry Christmas El," I smiled as I wiped off my hands on a dish towel and pulled her into a hug. 

"Why is it Merry Christmas if we say Happy Birthday or Happy Thanksgiving?" she asked and furrowed her brows. 

"Um, I'm not actually sure," I said shrugging and returning to the counter where Holly was clumsily siring together ingredients that I had thrown into a bowl. 

"What are you guys doing?" she asked and stood beside me as we both watched Holly splatter the icing on her shirt.

"Ah shi- I mean poop," I stopped myself from saying the words that my dad had always yelled at me for saying, "we're making Christmas cookies" I smiled as I grabbed a wet paper towel and tried to wipe the sticky icing off of Holly's shirt and face.

"Oh fun!" she smiled and handed me another paper towel for Holly.

"Do you want to join us?" I asked before giving Holly the spoon and bowl back, probably a big mistake.

"Of course!" she smiled and went to the sink and wash her hands. 

"Ok so," I began, "first we take the flour, butter, sugar, eggs, and a few other ingredients, into a bowl and we mix them," I smiled at her as we measured out ingredients and poured them into a bowl. "Ok, you can stir that and I'm gonna help Holly put the icing into bags," I smiled.

"Mikey, can you make the different colors please?" Holly asked tugging on the bottom of my sweater.

"Yes, of course, Holls," I smiled and began to mix different colors of food coloring into the white icing. 

 I sprinkled the counter with flour and helped El and Holly roll out the sugar cookie dough and cut them into various shapes like Christmas trees, stars, circles, and gingerbread men.

El slipped the cookie pans into the oven and set them to make for 8 minutes. 

"Mike, you have some flour, well everywhere," she smiled and giggled at me as I looked into a mirror that hung above a small table. She was right. I had flour on the tip of my nose and my cheeks, and even a bit in my dark curls. I also had red icing on the corner of my lips after Holly had insisted that I should try some and shoved the spoon into my mouth before I could protest. 

"Oh good lord," I smiled and shook my head vigorously back and forth to make the flour fall from my hair. 

"Here let me get it," I smiled at her as she wiped the flour off of my cheeks and pulled me in closer to her.   

"And what about the icing?" I smirked and looked up at her. 

"Well, I had another idea for that," she said before she began to lean in. Her eyes fluttered and then closed, and a small smiled flashed upon her lips before they found mine. My heart raced as I moved my hands down to El's sides and pulled her hips closer to mine. 

"MICHEAL WHEELER!" I pulled away from El immediately, dropping my hands from her hips and turned to face my mom who had just come in from the garage. 

"Mom!" I said shakily, hoping that she didn't see what had just happened between El and I. 

"Mike! What the hell! The kitchen is a mess you need to clean this up right now!" she seethed before setting her bag down on the kitchen table and heading towards the stairs," I exhaled a sigh of relief, thank god she didn't see anything-, "And no making out with El in front of Holly!" she yelled once again before walking up the steps. 

Damn it

"For what it's worth you tasted really sweet," I said to El before heading back to the kitchen.

"Really... how so?" she smiled and began placing ingredients back into the kitchen cupboard. 

"Well, mostly like icing, and a little like syrup," I smiled before grabbing her hand and pulling her towards me.

"Well, that's probably because I ate a waffle before I came over," she smiled before leaning in to steal one last kiss. 

Soon after, the timer dinged to the oven so I swiftly pulled out the cookies and set the trays on the counter. We let them cool for a few minutes before El gave Holly the bags of icing and tried to help her decorate them. 

I covered a Christmas tree cookie in green icing and added sprinkles for ornaments while Holly smeared on tons of different colors to all different cookies. 

"Let's see what you made Holls!" I smiled as Holly held up a star-shaped cookie with pink, green and blue icing smeared all over it with red white and green sprinkled covering it.

"Oh, um, very festive Holly! I love it!" I smiled before walking behind El. 

"Well, I tried to make a waffle, but it looks more like a star imploding in on itself," she laughed and set down the bag of yellow icing. 

"What! No! It looks great!" I said truthfully, but mostly just blinded for my love for her.

"Mike, friends don't lie," she said and smirked at me with raised eyebrows. 

"Yeah, it looks like crap," I smiled at her before holding up my green tree which was now dripping icing and the colors from the sprinkles mixed to form a soupy brown color, "but it looks better than mine," I smiled and bit into the cookie.

"Ok they might look like garbage but they actually taste freaking pretty good," I smiled and took another bite.

We iced the rest of the cookies before the three of us decided to snuggle on the couch and watch some Christmas movies. I popped in A Christmas Story into the VHS player and sat down on the couch with El next to me and Holly laying down across our laps. El sat eating her cookies and braiding Holly's long blonde hair. 

Soon after, Holly had fallen fast asleep and I picked her up and carried her up the stairs to her bed. I walked down the steps to find El, also laying across the couch asleep.

I smiled and slowly sat down by her head before she woke back up.

She let out a small groan and sat back up and leaned let me adjust myself before lying back down with her head in my lap. I ran my fingers through her soft shoulder-length hair. 

"I love you, Mike," she softly exhaled and let her body sink into mine,

"I love you too Eleven," I smiled thinking of the future Christmases we would spend together, making cookies with our kids, wrapping presents secretly in the basement, giggling as we quietly stuffed our kid's stockings careful not to wake them up, and I can't wait for those days to come.
