Another one-shot festive winter romance from me! The last thing Mandy expects when she's out shopping a few days before Christmas and misses her train home, is to meet a guy. Not just any guy - but a really cute guy, Ryan, who's going to be at her friend's New Year's party. Will he be waiting for her under the mistletoe?

Mistletoes hadn't ever meant much to Ivy, that is until she meets a certain boy with a holiday charm to spice up her seasonal tradition. With a few ups and downs along the way she's stuck wondering, did those moments underneath the mistletoe mean anything to him? *Entry for xTheGirlNextDoor's Holiday Short Story contest 2012*

A one-off festive holiday romance! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas! x
