"We'll be together to make this Christmas bright."
Ivory Gaines has become increasingly, hopelessly nostalgic for everything she left behind when she left for college. She misses her daddy's Motown Christmas album, making ornaments with her family, the stockings on the wall in the family home. This year, she can't fight 'missing the old thing' any longer, so she arranges for her family to stay in a hilltop resort so she can have it back.
Small problem - the family's fallen apart since she left.
Ivory sees this opportunity and her family's relationship as no coincidence, and she's determined to pull them back together. "It'll take a Christmas miracle to keep us together, but this Christmas together is happening no matter what."

I said I not bothering to look at her. I kept my eyes forward. "Because it's not appropriate." She was stern in the way she was speaking but I could catch the slight uncertainty in her tone. I decided to mess around with her until she finally breaks and confessed how she really feel. "Did you forget you kissed me back." I turned my neck to look at her. She bit her lip and looked down. "Yes, I know and I shouldn't have done that." "Why? Isn't that what you wanted to do." I smirked making sure to watch her every movement. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sunny Rose is a 21 year old college student.

'Tis the Season
Naomi has always dreaded the holiday season but when she finds herself staying with the handsome stranger and his family that accidentally stole her Christmas tree through the holidays, she just might end up taking a large sip from that cup of holiday cheer that brightens up everyone's Decembers. --------- "You've never kissed anyone under the mistletoe then?" he asks, keeping his voice low. There are literal sparks flying in the air between us right now- I knew I was attracted to him at the tree farm but now that I've gotten to actually know him a bit better, and now that he's standing so close to me, that attraction has seemed to intensify. I give him a tight smile and shake my head. "Well, I think it's probably bad luck to break tradition...." ---------- December Writing Challenge 2020 piece! ~updating daily through December~ (photo of challenge and more info can be found in the conversations section of my profile!)Tamamlanmış Hikaye
