Darling Charming was sitting in the common room in the Ever After High dorm rooms, sitting next to the fire place with a cups of Hot Chocolate and a book. One of the best parts of the year at Ever After High were the holidays, everything was so nice and calm and joyful.
Darling finished up putting the last of many layers of whip cream on top of her hot coco and was apply caramel syrup. Her platinum blonde and blue hair were framing her face perfectly, her chubby checks just adding to the affect of it. Her outfit was a baby blue sweater and crisp white leggings and matching fuzzy socks. Darling looked just like a modern day christmas angel.
Darling was just about to bring the cup of coco to her lips when she felt the weight on the couch shift and turned her head to the right to see Chase Redford, in her opinion the cutest guy at Ever After High.
Chase had just transferred to Ever After High this year from Wonderland High and had become very popular, manly with the girls of Ever After High. But even though he had already had a fan club and a jock status develop at Ever After High, he and Darling were still friends. Chase was wearing a plan red turtle neck sweater and blue jean with a pare of brown socks.
"Hey Chase," Darling said, trying to keep her voice calm because the two were friends and no matter how much Darling hoped they could be more she couldn't let that show.
"Hey Darling what are you doing," he said, not quite meeting her eyes.
"Just drinking some hot chocolate and trying to read a book but someone is keeping me busy," Darling sends a playful glare at Chase and both chuckle. Chase looks at Darling's cup and than back at Darling before asking, "Um what is Hot Chocolate."
"Only like the official drink of Christmas!," Darling streaked at Chase, she know that Christmas in Wonderland was different than Christmas in Ever After but could it really be so different that they didn't even have Hot Chocolate.
"So is it like chocolate milk but hot," Chase asked, still seeming a little dumfounded.
"No, not exactly," Darling said. She toke a sip of her cup of coco and once the cup left her lips she was smiling a smile that would put the Chersire family smile to shame, with a whipped cream mustache. "The only way to describe it is Hot Chocolate," Darling said.
"Huh, if I didn't know any better I would think that you liked Hot Chocolate better than me," Chase said, and Darling response with just shaking her hand from side to side. "Oh come on Darling," Chase stated, "I know you are secretly in love with me but can't let your true feelings out because you have an arranged marriage to someone."
"Ha, me like you," Darling laughed awkwardly, was he catching up to her or was she being to obvious with her feelings, "What does that have to do with Hot Chocolate."
"Don't know, but I will have to try it soon," Chase said.
"You can have a sip of mine, though most don't have caramel in it but I never drink without it" Darling said as she offered Chase a sip.
A smirked appeared on Chase lips and instead of taking the cup, he put his lips on Darlings sure that it would be just as sweet or even sweeter.
Darling froze as soon as Chase lips meet hers. The softness of it was so soften that Darling's brain still had trouble processing it. She thinks she kissed back but she's not sure since it was her first kiss.
Chase pulled back, pleased with the look on Darling's face, "I guess you are right, hot chocolate is pretty good."
