| �What�s so funny?� Hank asked.
�Look above you.� Ashley said as she pointed above Hanks head. �It�s customary to share a kiss under the mistletoe.� Dawn added. Hank looked at Helene whose cheeks had turned a rosy hue, and leaned in to give her a peck on the lips. �You four are impossible. You know that?� Michaela asked the group who just started to giggle again. Michaela and Sully were the last ones to leave. They opened the door and saw that it was snowing. It had snowed a good two inches while they were inside. They were walking towards the car and Sully bend down telling Michaela he had to tie his shoelace. Michaela kept walking and as she was getting closer she felt something wet hit her back. She turned around to see what had hit her and saw Sully still kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face. She turned around and kept walking but only managed to get a couple of steps ahead before something hit her again. She turned around again and this time Sully was shaking with laughter, but he was still bend over. Michaela reached down and grabbed a big handful of snow. As soon as she made a snowball she threw it as hard as she could hitting Sully on the shoulder. Sully looked up at her and Michaela was laughing. It wasn�t long before a snowball war was declared. The streets were filled with shrieks as Michaela tried to dodge the snowballs Sully hurled at her. Inside the house Elizabeth and Josef were watching through the window, and couldn�t help but smile. �They sure are a pair aren�t they?� Elizabeth asked. �Sure are. They�re both lucky to have found each other.� Josef replied as he hugged his wife. Michaela and Sully were out of breath and had called quits to their war. Sully made his way over to Michaela who couldn�t stop laughing. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes before leaning in for a kiss. Before the kiss ended Michaela brought her hands from behind her smashed the last snowball she had on Sully�s head. Sully pulled back and smiled at her. He loved it when she allowed herself to have fun. They finally made it back to Michaela�s house where they could be alone. Sully built a fire as Michaela changed out of her wet clothes. Sully had managed to stay dry due to Michaela�s bad aim. When she came back she handed him a package. �Merry Christmas.� Sully took the package and opened it. When he had taken the last piece of wrapping paper off he took out a gold pocket watch. �It belonged to my great great grandfather. I had it engraved for you.� Michaela told Sully. Sully opened the watch up and on the inside there was an inscription that read, �I can do without many things with no hardship- you are not one of them.� �Oh Michaela it�s beautiful! I�ll treasure it always thank you. I also have something for you.� Sully reached in his pocket and handed Michaela a small box. Michaela opened it and smiled when she saw a beautiful locket. The locket was gold with a rose in the center of it. �Open it up.� Michaela opened the locket and inside she saw pictures of her and Sully when they were babies. Sully walked behind her and put it on around her neck. Michaela clasped it in her hand. �It�s beautiful Sully.� She turned to face him. �Not as beautiful as you. Nothing can ever compare to your beauty. Merry Christmas.� |
