"She's beautiful." I say, running my hand along her smooth surface.

"She's yours." He says and I gape at him

"No way!" I say, grinning.

"Yes way." He says and I laugh.

"You mean this BEAUTIFUL black and purple motorcycle is mine to drive?" I ask, excited.

"No, it's gonna sit here and rust. Yes it's to drive!" He says and I pout at him.

"Your mean, but I love you!" I say, hugging him.

"I love you too." He says and kisses me.

"I'm content." I say, smiling.

"Well, we've still got a date to go on, so hop on!" He says and I laugh, getting on behind him and wrapping my arms around his waist.

We ride in silence, just enjoying each other's company. In that short ride, I realized I missed riding a motorcycle and that I really do love Max.

"I love you. I really do." I say as he helps me off the motorcycle.

"I love you too." He says, smiling lightly. I kiss him and he wraps his arms around my waist while mine snake around his neck.

"C'mon, I've got something to show you." He says, taking my hand and leading me through a mini forest. As we go farther I see lights coming closer and soon I realize there are twinkling lights hung on trees and in the middle of the ring of trees there is a picnic set out and waiting for us. I look over at Max who is grinning.

"You did all this?" I ask, amazed.

"Of course." He says and I laugh, walking over to it.

"It's beautiful." I say, looking all around us.

"Just like you." He says and I blush. He motions for me to sit down so I do.

"It smells delicious." I say and he smiles. We eat and talk, laugh, just having fun. After we get doen e stands up and offers me his hand. I take it and we stand up, walking a little bit. I gasp quietly as it starts snowing and Max laughs.

"You've never seen snow?" He asks and I shake my head, awed.

"We've always been in a different part of the world during Christmas because my parents don't like the cold." I say, turning around, smiling.

"Well, this time you're with me, in New York and everything is perfect." He says, putting his hands on my hips and resting his forehead on mine. I blush feeling sparks rush up my arm. Even after months of this, I'm still not used to it.

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know." I sing quietly, smiling as he looks at me, surprised.

"W-I-h-I thought you couldn't sing." He says and I shrug.

"That's what I wanted you to think but, now it's time I showed you all my talents." I say and he rolls his eyes.

"Then why don't you a do a duet with me? We can do 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'." He suggests and I shake my head.

"I did covers back in Texas and I got too much hate. I'm done with it, now I just play piano and dance and I'm perfectly happy." I say as I lay my head on his chest, hearing his heart beat.

"C'mon, babe. Please?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No. I'm sorry, I'm perfectly happy and you should respect that." I say and he sighs.

"But you have such a beautiful voice." He says and I pull away, turning my back to him.

"I told you, I won't do it." I say, crossing my arms over my chest and pouting as he pulls me back to him.

"You know you miss it. I can see it in your eyes." He says and I pull away angrily.

"I told you I didn't want to do it. You need to respect that." I snap and he sighs again.

"I'm sorr-"

"I don't want to hear it, Max. You know how I feel, you know how I am. Now can you take me home?" I ask and he runs his hand through his hair, nodding.

"Come on." He says putting his hand on my back and leading me back to the bike. I don't object to his hand or when he puts his hands on my hips and looks down at me.

"I'm sorry." He says, now that he knows I'm not as mad.

"I forgive but, I'm still mad." I say and he laughs quietly.

"I figured." He says and then ducks down and pecks my lips. "Now get on so I can take you home."

I get on and then he gets on in front of me and I put my arms around his waist, hooking both my pointer fingers in his belt loops as he laughs, starting the bike and pulling onto the road.

"Here we are, M'lady." He says as he stops and gets off, helping me off. He kisses me and I smile at him, kissing him again.

"I'll see you tomorrow for rehearsal." He says and I smile.

"Of course, even though I can't play." I say and he laughs.

"Still, you're gonna be there, so you can meet Vic, right?" He asks and I nod, grinning.

"Alright, I'll see you then." He says and I smile, turning my head as he leans in for a kiss, making him kiss me on the cheek.

"No fair!" He whines and I roll my eyes.

"I'll see you in the morning, Max." I say and wave, smiling as he gets on the motorcycle and waves back. I walk into my apartment and turn on the lights, kicking off my shoes and walking into my room.
