We walk into my apartment. John helps take off my coat and hangs it on the coat rack.
"Thanks." I say.
"Your apartment is really pretty Julia." He says walking around my kitchen.
"Thank you. I'm sorry I couldn't clean up a bit before hand..."
"It's perfectly fine."
"I'm gonna take a quick shower. If you need anything let me know. Oh and feel free to grab a drink if your thirsty."
He nods his head and I make my way to the shower.
My favorite pass time is singing while I'm in the shower. I turn on my phone and played my Christmas playlist.
Baby it's Cold outside plays and I sing along.
I soon hear John join in with my outside the bathroom door. It was just like the scene from elf. It was cracking me up. We both laugh and the song ends.

I step out of the shower and notice I don't have a towel.
"John! Could you bring me a towel?!" I yell from the bathroom.
I hear John approach the door and knock.
I open the door and he has his hands over his eyes looking so silly.
He sticks his arm threw the crack in the door and hands me the towel.
I give him a kiss on the cheek before he closes the door.

I was dressed and did my makeup, and went to the living room and saw John on the couch going through one of my scrap books.

"What did you find?" I ask sitting next to him.

"A scrap book titled Disney World."
He says pointing to the cover.

"Ah yes. My mom and dad took me and my two sisters to Disney when we were really young. Probably six or so. That was before they split of course."

"Looks like you had a great time." John turns his head and looks at me, smiling.

"Yeah I guess we did..." There was an awkward pause.

"Well I guess we should head out now." John stands up, running his hands through his hair.

"Yeah...." I shut the scrap book, putting it back into my book shelf.

We leave my apartment and make our way to Johns. I saw many familiar faces. Mostly comedians and actors.

I socialized for a little bit introducing myself as Johns......friend.

"Ok everyone, are we ready to carol?" John throws his hands in the hair and we all cheer for joy.

We all get in a group and make our way down the halls singing.

We were smiling having a great time. We sung Jingle bells, White Christmas, Let it snow. It was really nice to hang with John and his friends. Gave me a minute to just focus on having fun for the holidays.
When we went the the next floor to sing our last few songs, John grabbed my hands and turned to me.
He pulled a string of mistletoe out of his pocket.
He lifted his eyebrows and smirked at me. The group was far ahead of us now, so it was just me and him. He leaned forward and I leaned forward to form a magical kiss. His hands made his way down my waist and I felt enchanted. I run my fingers through his hair still kissing his soft lips. We separate from the kiss and lean our head in each other.
We both smile and take each other's hands, catching up with the group.
The night ended and all Johns friends had all went home. John took me back to my apartment.
"Tonight was fun John. Thank you for inviting me." We stand in the door way and for some reason we both just can't stop smiling.
My phone begins rings in my pocket, "Excuse me one second."
"Hello?" I say into the phone.
It was my mother.
"Mmhm......ok.......tomorrow?.......ok.......right........ok.....ok....love you too." I hand up the phone.
"FUCK!" I slam my face into my hands.
"What's wrong?" John puts his hand on my shoulder.
"My fucking mom is coming here tomorrow. I haven't seen her in eight years! Why now?! Just because I have a job and I'm actually happy in life, so she wants to come fuck my shit  up?!" I was so mad. I clench my fists.

"I'm sorry. She shouldn't intrude on your life  like this." John said. His eyes calmed me.

"I'm just so pissed." I walked into my apartment and flopped down on my couch.
John followed me inside.
"Can I get you anything? Eggnog?" He asks.
I sigh. "Yes please."
I few moments later I sit up and John brings me a warm cup of eggnog.
I take a long sip. "Ahhhh. Thank you."

We just sit cuddling in each other's company.
I finish my glass and John begins to sit up.
"I supposed I should head out now..."
I tackled him back on the couch kissing him hard. I leave a trail of kisses down his neck.
I sit on top of him wrapping my legs around his waist.
He stands up and carries me to the bedroom.
Our lips never part.
He begins to undress me quickly. We were both so impatient to love each other.
He holds my naked body close to his.
"I love you Julia." His whispers in my ear.
"I love you too."
He undressed and we were soon wrapped in each other's love. I felt so close to him.
I was happy. I was in love.
