The boy next door

Christmas Time(part 2)

Eleanor's POV

"Where's my gift, Ella?"

George and I were laid on the snowy grass in a park. We had the brightest idea of going for a walk. I told him to bring a map, but you know how boys are. They know all the directions. We walked and walked until we got lost on the other side of Liverpool.

"Well, if we would've asked for directions or at least brought a map like I told you to, you would already have your gift!"

"I know, but I actually brought you here."

"What?"

"I brought you here to give you your gift."

"And what's my gift?"

"Close your eyes." I closed my eyes and heard George shuffle around. "Open your eyes."

I opened them to find a white teddy-bear with a rose and a box of chocolates.

"Ah! George you didn't have to!"

"But I wanted to."

"But we didn't have to walk all this way for you to give me this little-"

He hit me with a snowball, on my face!

"You didn't let me finish my gift."

I got up, made a snowball and started chasing him through the whole park. I caught up to him and dropped the snowball down his shirt.His eyes shot wide open and he was shivering from the cold. He took off his coat and shook off the snow. I laughed a this and he looked at me with a glare. He took a snowball and started walking towards me.I looked at him with horror and dashed towards the white bear, but George was faster and grabbed me by the waist.

"How about we go to your house and you give me my present." He whispered.

"That's fine by me."

I grabbed my stuff and we headed to my house.

"Where is it Eleanor?"

"George, can you be patient?"

"No"

"And can you stop eating my chocolates?"

"When you give me my gift then yes."

George was laid on my bed while I was looking in boxes for his gift. Did I mention he was eating my chocolates!?

"Here" I handed him the record covered in wrapping paper. He unwrapped it with a confused look. That confused look quickly changed to a smile.

"You shouldn't have."

"But I did"

"How about you put it on your record player?"

"OK" I went to put it on. 'Love Me Tender' started to play. I turned around and George stood in front of me. He grabbed my hand and my waist.

"I know you had the worst Formal of your life, but I want to have this dance with you. At least give you a dance to remember." He whispered.

"I gladly accept." I said back.

We swayed across the room. George snaked his arms around my waist. I snaked mines around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder. The song changed to 'Can't Help Falling in Love' and George started singing:

"Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you"

I looked at him in the eyes, leaned in and kissed him.

This has been the best Christmas
