DEREKS POV  

 I was looked at the lights in confusion if they were an jigsaw puzzle. It seemed so simple, yet so complicated.

How the hell am I supposed to hang these things up?

When it comes to anything crafty, I am not the brightest light bulb.

In defeat, I throw the lights on the ground and decide that using my phone is what I would much rather be spending my time doing. After a while of surfing on my phone, I hear a light tap on the door.Like a bolt, I get up and race to open the door.

There I see a  smiling Bethany.

" Ok so I brought homemade sugar cookies, Carrie, and Elf for our little 'indoor date night," she says with glee in her voice.

"Great we can get started in a couple minutes," I say leaning in for a kiss.

As Bethany steps into my apartment, she peers around.

"So this.. is what you call decorating for Christmas," Bethany questions as she points at my "decorations."

"What, I take a lot of pride in my work"

Bethany raises her eyebrows, chuckling. "You are something, Derek Hough."

I smile,"Me?" You are something,Bethany Mota."

She glances up at me, placing her hands on her hip. "How?"

"You're obsessed with Christmas." "Literally a two months before Christmas your Christmas tree is up. "I don't think that's normal."

Bethany frowns trying to hide a grin,"I am not obsessed....I just enjoy the Christmas season."

"Don't worry, normal isn't my really thing, I like you unique," he says reassuringly.

She chuckles dipping her head back in laughter.

I lift up her chin pulling her in. I soon began to encircle the small of her back. I notice Bethany bite the corner of her lips. This is her absolute weakness.

"Ok let's fix your apartment," Bethany says breaking the moment.

I push back Bethany's hair flirtatiously. "What about later,? I whine.

"Hold your horses there buddy." Bethany says as she goes over to get started.

I let out a deep groan.

 "If you insist, Queen of Sass," I joke glancing over at Bethany.

Bethany's POV

"You need some help B?," Derek asks as he notices my struggle to place the tree topper.

"Yes please," I say flustered, dropping my hands to my sides.

He grins, raising me onto his shoulders.

I chuckle with a blush,"We are so stupid, ."

Derek laughs, which causes me to wobble a tiny bit.

I reach out and finally place the tree topper. I heave a sigh of relief.

"Christmas Mission Complete!," We cheer in unison as Derek brings me down.

For a moment, I stay nuzzled against his chest with his arms wrapped around me, as we both stare in awe.   Staring up at him,I lean in to give him a quick peck to the lips..

While we on our third consecutive movie, I notice a  sleeping Derek snore very loudly. As obnoxious as it is Derek somehow makes it seem absolutely adorable. I can't help but snap a picture. I decide to post the picture on instagram captioning it,"Movie nights with the bae @derekhough are always the best *(kissy face emoji).


A month ago I would have been scared to post this picture. Scared of all the backlash, and reaction. But now I have grown to not care. And to embrace who you love.
