the day has passed and presents have been unwrapped. as i find myself sitting on my sofa, looking out my window, watching the snow fall. christmas is a beautiful time of the year. i smile as i remember how the day went. and now here i am. enjoying a quiet christmas night.
my eyes start to to tire and i start to feel sleepy. i yawn and find myself drifting to sleep when suddenly i hear a knock on the door. i get up and look around. i was a little confused on why someone would be knocking on my door. especially at this time of night.
i shrug off the knock. its probably just my imagination. then i hear the knock again and i reluctantly walk over to the front door and open it. i was surprised to see grayson standing there.
"gray? what are you doing here?" i yawn. "is right now a bad time? because i was gonna ask you a question." he says. i blush and suddenly feel nervous. "no grayson, its not a bad time" i answer. "what did you want to ask?" i look at him. "well i wanted to ask if you wanted to go for a walk?" he asks.
i look at him and smile. "sure! just let me get my stuff" i say as i run and get my coat, hat, mittens, and and boots. grayson waits outside for me. a few minutes later i walk all ready.
"I'm ready!" i say with a smile. "good!" grayson says as he offers me his arm. "I've gotta surprise for you!" i raise and eyebrow. "what on earth are you talking about?" i laugh as i take his arm and the both of us start walking down the snowy road.
"you'll see" grayson says mysteriously. i smile and walk next to him. the cold breeze feels so as the both of us walk in the countryside. i look up at the sky and i was in awe at the beauty of the stars.
me and grayson walk for a while until he stops and suddenly says, "we're here, but you need to close your eyes!" he smiles. "what?" i chuckle as grayson covers my eyes with a scarf. i take grayson's hand as he guides me and stops. i hear him walk a distance away from me.
"ok, you can open your eyes now!" i hear him yell. i remove the scarf from my eyes and gasp at what i see. it was christmas lights everywhere. "grayson?" i ask confused. "what is this?" grayson walks up to me and takes both of my hands and looks at me straight in the eyes.
"remember you said that you never had your first dance?" he asks. "yes. i remember" i answer. "well then, will you let me have the first dance?" he asks, smiling. "what?" i ask. "right here! right now!" grayson shows me the christmas lights. "out here in the snow? and no music?" i ask.
"who needs music?" grayson answers with a smile. "what could be more magical than dancing out there in the snow under the stars! plus if you listen closely you might hear the music. so what do you say?"
i look at him with a little hesitation but then a smile. "of course, gray" as i dance with him, i look up at the sky, and i couldnt help but smile as i dance my first dance with grayson....
on christmas night....
