| I sat down on my bed, crying. Life wasn�t going the way I wanted it to, but then again, when did it? Life was driving me insane! It was Christmas Eve and my boyfriend of three years just broke up with me. He gave me tons of reasons as to why, but all were lies. I couldn�t understand him. I shook my head and grabbed my car keys. Right now, I could use a few things, like some Egg Nog or some alcohol, wasn�t sure which. I walked down the aisle, looking for the Egg Nog. I grabbed some and started pushing my cart, bumping into someone. I looked at the guy and I smiled. �Nick, oh my God.� �Chica!� I ran over to him and gave him a huge hug. �What are you doing here and alone?� �Drew broke up with me. And yourself?� �Chrissy said she was tired of being alone and walked out.� �I�m sorry Nick.� �Hey, don�t be. So, what were your plans?� �Staying home and probably drinking.� �Fun girl. Why don�t you come over to my place? Just me and my dogs.� �Sure Nick. I�ll be over about 7, okay?� �Perfect. Later.� �Bye.� I grabbed some wine real quickly and went to pay. Once home, I showered and changed and by 6:30, I was out the door. I smoothed my dress down and groaned. I played with my hair and prayed I looked all right. Nick and been a good friend of mine for a while and like every other person, I was, or shall I say, I am, liking him a whole lore more. I rung the door bell and waited. Nick opened and I was at a loss for words. His eyes ran over me, taking in everything, including the green velvet dress I was wearing. �I�m sorry, come in. You look wonderful.� �You clean up nicely too.� �Thanks. The food is almost done.� �Good. Oh, here is the wine.� �The final touch, thanks.� I smiled and walked into the kitchen, smelling the delicious food. �Smells wonderful Nick.� �Thanks.� I took a seat at the table and talked with Nick, catching up on everything. We sat on the couch, laughing and talking. �Remember that time you were 14 and nearly fell off the tree?� �Yes, only because you pushed me!� �I did not!� �Sure Nick. Whatever!� �It was Jason and them.� �If you wanna believe that. Oh, did you know Jason got married?� �No way. When?� �A few months ago, you were on tour though.� �Oh, I heard something like that. Wow.� I laughed and started thinking about my ex. We were talking about getting married. I sighed and took a sip of wine. �You okay?� �Just thinking. You know Nick, I�m glad you�re one of my best friends. I would have been alone tonight. Thank you for inviting me by the way.� �Oh, there�s no reason for both of us to be lonely, right?� I smiled and gave him a hug. �Some girl is going to be lucky when they snag you.� �I�m glad you think so.� He smiled and I could feel the blush coming on. �Let me ask you a question,� Nick said. �What?� �Would you like that person to be you?� My eyes opened wide and I looked at Nick. �W�why do you ask?� �Cause I want that person to be you.� �Are you for real?� He laughed. �You haven�t noticed how in love I�ve become? That�s one reason why Chrissy broke up with me.� �Nick,� I gasped out. �I love you too. It�s killed me not to tell you. Though, time after time I have tried.� �Same here.� He grabbed my hand and lightly kissed each finger. �Under the tree is a special gift for you.� I frowned but got up and walked over to the tree. I looked through the gifts and saw one for me. I picked it up and walked back over to Nick.� �Nick, my gift for you is at my house.� �I want you to open it now. Trust me, you�re given me enough already.� I smiled and quickly unwrapped the gift. It was a jewelry box and I frowned. I opened it up and saw a beautiful ring. �Nick, it�s beautiful.� �I�m glad you think so.� He pulled the ring out and slipped it on my ring finger. �No, not an engagement ring, but a promise. A promise that I will forever love you.� �I love you too.� He pulled me close and slowly his lips met mine. I sighed and fell against him. We pulled away and we just enjoyed the sweet bliss that we shared. I heard the song and smiled, it was almost prefect, �Angels We Have Heard On High�. |
