CHRISTMAS BLISS

COFFEE AND HIM

LOTS OF LOVE
RIYA

It was like a blink of an eye and the next day came rising and shining still with the chills.
Excited? Would be understatement...
Anxious ? Maybe

Today out of all day she eagerly wanted to look good. To dress to impress. To feel beautiful. Why ?
Guess she doesn't know herself yet. Never happened to her before. And she has every right to to feel it now.

Why now ?

Because it feels right.

She freshened up, took a bath, wore a beautiful blouse and long skirt wrapped a long cardigan over her dress along with her winter boots. Her hair tied up in a crown and all when she's completely done she admired herself in the mirror.

KNOCK KNOCK !

She smiles inwardly as she knows very well who will it be.

She opens the door and found the man who owns pair of ocean blue eyes who intendly staring at her.
"Hi, good morning Violet."
"Good morning Nicholas."
He raises his hand asking for hers as she simply placed hers.

"So you got that cottage as a gift from the government ? That's amazing !" She exclaims while having a sip of her coffee. While Nicholas chews on his buttery bread and nodding.
"And a job also to work ?" She asks amusingly.
He just shrugs it off.
"You guys are life saver this is my honor to even sit with you here." Violet says.
"Like I said it's my duty, and please can we talk about something else ? The war topic is kinda depressing" he says with a sad tone.
"I'm sorry, you are right it is indeed depressing."She feels guilty for even bringing up the fact. Suddenly she felt his hand reaching out to her hand and instantly she interwines with his.

She looks up at him more likely curious to know the reason behind this and find him struggling to say something.
"What's the Matter Nicholas ?" She asks. He licks his lips before saying,
"Violet, I don't know how to do this... I mean I have never felt so content ever the way I feel around you. And the more I see you, the more I feel like I need you."
Her heart beats starts to pound in her chest.
"I want to spend my Christmas this year with you Violet. When the clock shows midnight I wanna be with you. This year I don't want you to spend it alone." He says looking straight to her with so many emotions.
"Nicholas I.... I don't know what to say." She stammers.
"Just say yes !" He whispers just enough audible to her.
"All these past years I have been doing this all alone. I don't even remember the last time how I spent this day with my family." Violet holds back her sob as she is on the verge of breakdown.
He squeezes her hand in a way to comfort her
"I promise to make it memorable to you. Just say yes." He says still not breaking the eye contact.
Because this feels right !
"Yes. I'LL spend my Christmas with you." She smiles widely finally her loneliness will be gone.
"My family will be so thrilled to see you." He grins saying.
"That they will." She chuckles.

Nicholas walks her to her library.
"I'll come to pick you up and you don't have to go to the Crumble Dinner today." He says.
Listening to this her eyebrows furrows, she can't afford to take leave even for a day.
"I can't Nicholas.... I can't afford loosing a single penny even." She says worriedly
"Don't worry I already talked to her about this and do you know what she said ?" She nods her head to know.
"She said that you need a break and she is willing to give you without cutting off any penny from your monthly wages." Nicholas says happily as only he knows how happy his parents were to know he is seeing Violet.
"Really ? She is such a kind soul." Violet could not have thanked him in any better way than to hug him.
And she did.
Nicholas heart skipped a beat as he realised Violet is hugging him. He slowly very gently puts his hands around her waist as if feared that he might harm this fragile innocence.
"Thanks so much for this Nicholas."
She looks up at him saying this without breaking the closeness.
"We are gonna have so much fun today can't wait to see you in the evening." He says.
"Me too."
