Nick was woken up by a loud knock on the door, he jumped up and he realised it was Christmas morning. He walked to the door, thinking who it could be. He opened the door and he seen Claudia smilng at him. "Happy Christmas" she said and giggled and then he realised what a state he looked, with his hair all messy and grey jogging bottoms. "Uh, hi. Happy Christmas. So what brings you hear?" "Well aren't you going to invite me in?" He quickly moved out of the way, and they both went to sit down. "Well my family who was coming down to stay with me got stuck in snow in the valleys, so i was wondering if i cound spend the day with you", she waited nervously and then a huge grin came on his face "of course you can". They both sat in a comfortable silence for a while. Nick was first to break the silence, "oh yeah' i don't have anything to make a Christmas dinner", "we could go to my place as i have most of it ready and my place actually has other decorations other than a Christmas tree which is like 2ft". "Hey there is nothing wrong with my tree just because your house probably looks like buddy the elf got let lose in there, but yeah i think your place will be better". They both got in Nicks car and made their way to her house, and the first thing he noticed was the little reindeer outside her house. "I think i was right"' she nudged him and he rubbed his arm pretending it hurt. They went into the kitchen to start the food as it was already half 11, then Nick's stomach rumbled. "someones hungry" she laughed. Once all the veg was prepared Claudia poured herself a glass of wine and got Nick a can of beer. Claudia put some music on and the fairy tale of New York came on. They both sang along, to a few songs until dinner was ready. Nick started to put food on the plates while she got them both another drink. While they ate they talked about their family and random stuff. Once they finish they put the plates in the dishwasher and sit down in silence. "What do you wanna do now?" he asked, she sat there for a minute thinking "we could play a game'', "how old are 5?" "well I was just thinking of something we could do, like monoply's fun!". He laughed "ok" "Yay", She ran up the stairs to get it. When she came down they sat on the floor and set it out. "I'm being the banker". They sat there till 5 in the evening and they ended up finishing the game as Nick was £2850 in debt. "What do you want to do now?" she asked Nick once it was packed away. "We could go out for a walk" "ok'". They both put on their coats and left the house. They just walked and talked for 2 hours and came across a pub that was open. They walked to the bar and the person at the bar came over to them "what would you like to drink?" "red wine and a pint if beer", he paid the man and the man said he would bring them over. When they sat down next to each other and the man came over with the drinks and told them to look up, they both did and noticed they were sat under mistletoe The guy smirked at them "happy Christmas". When he walked away they both looked up and at each other. Nick wanted to kiss her but was to nervous, so he was going to kiss her on the cheek and at the last moment she turned her head. They both seperated then looked at each both then leant in to kiss each both again, not wanting to pull apart. When Claudia pulled apart they both drank their drinks quickly, "so are you coming back to my place?", "yeah i would love to". They walked back to her house, and when they got back it was half 11 so Nick got spare clothes out oh his car and they both went to her room. They got changed and crawled into bed, and he put his arm around her and pulled her close and she rested her head on his chest. "Good night Nick", "good night Claudia Brown" and he kissed her on the head.
