A Boyfriend For Christmas.

Chapter 18.

December 18th

Christians POV

today was the day i'm going to ask jessica to be my girlfriend.

to say i was nervous would be an understatement.

lindy agreed to help me which made my feel a little better.

i was getting ready when there was a knock on my door.

"come in", i say looking at myself in the mirror.

my brother daniel walks in and sits on my bed.

"you're going to ask her out aren't you?", he asks looking at me through the mirror.

i take a breath.

"yeah, daniel, i am".

he doesn't say anything for a moment.

"i'm not going to stop trying to get her to forgive me".

i turn and look at him.

"and that's fine".

i put on my jacket.

"but know this, you do anything to come between us, we'll be done". i tell him.

he gets up from the bed and walks to the door.

"we'll see", he says walking out the door.

i sigh.

looking at the time, i grab my phone and text lindy that everything was ready.

grabbing my keys i walk downstairs and leave the house.

i was gonna run to the store to grab her some flowers.

Jessica's POV

lindy was curling my hair for some reason and i was so confused as to why.

"is there a reason you decided to just curl my hair?", i ask.

she just shrugs.

"i told you we're going out".

i look at her through the mirror.

"are you going to tell me where we're going at least?"

she shakes her head.

"it's a surprise".

-

once she was done she walks into my closet and picks out a black skater dress with tights and booties.

"hurry up and change we're running late".

i look at the outfit in front of me.

"lindy..."

she shakes her head and pushes the dress and shoes towards me.

"change".

i sigh and decide not to argue and do as she says.

fixing the dress, i put on my shoes and spray some perfume.

"there. happy?"

lindy nods her head in approval.

"okay now come on", she says grabbing hers and my stuff.

pulling me along with her down the stairs we leave my house.

she gets me into her car and hands me a black piece of fabric.

"put this on".

a blindfold.

really?

i sigh and take it tying it over my eyes.

"where are we even going?"

"you'll see"

we only drive for like five minutes and she stops the car.

i hear her close her door and she walks over to my door and helps me out.

she walks me through what i think is a gate.

"okay ready?"

i nod my head.

"okay take it off".

i slowly take off the blindfold and look around.

i'm in a backyard.

why am i in a backyard?

i look around and notice the familiar home behind me.

daniels house.

what am i doing here?

"hey", i hear from behind me.

i turn around and my eyes lock on christian holding a bouquet of flowers.

i smile at him.

"what am i doing here, christian?"

he walks up to me.

"i'm sorry it isn't like the best of places but this was all i could think of on short notice".

i shrug.

"i don't care where we are, i'm just confused".

he takes a deep breath and steps in front of me handing me my flowers.

i hug him.

"they're perfect".

he looks at me and take my free hand.

"this is probably too soon but i like you so much, and if i don't ask now, i'll lose my nerve and not ask you at all".

i look at him.

he puts my hands on my shoulders and moves me to look at the side.

hunter is there and so is a big paper with a question written on it.

"will you be my girlfriend?"

i look back at him, my smile never leaving my face.

my eyes wander behind christian, daniel is standing in the window looking at this all unfold.

my mind slips away from this beautiful moment for just a second.

what could have been with him and i?

"jessica?", christian asks shaking me out of my thoughts.

i take another second to answer.

do i want to be his girlfriend?

or am i just holding out for daniel again?

"yes, i hear myself saying. "yes i'll be your girlfriend"
