Hi, everyone!
This is my first - and I think my last - fanfiction on HTR, and it's set right after the series finale How to Rock Christmas.
It features Zevie and Sam Puckett, because if Stevie is not Seddie's daughter then I don't know who she is :P
Hope you like it! (:
" Come on, Stevie, your brothers are home waiting for you to play tackle charades with them! "
Sam was in her car in front of the mall, waiting for her daughter to get in so they could go home and finally enjoy Christmas. She had to admit she was pretty proud of her, though. She had never thought of getting herself locked in a mall when she was younger; pity, it would have been a great idea for iCarly.
" Just a second, mum, I want to with Merry Christmas to my friends! " Stevie yelled back and Sam nodded.
She put her head out of the car window, squeezing her eyes in the dark to see her daughter hugging quickly a bunch of people - she recognized Kacey, Nelson, Kevin and guessed the other two girls must have been Molly and Grace. She didn't see Zander anywhere, though, and when she spot him she noticed he was looking at her daughter rather dreamily.
Sam saw him light up when Stevie walked to him to wish him Merry Christmas, and she hated she was too far to hear the conversation.
" Hey, Zander " she smiled.
" Hey " he smiled back " Going home? "
" Yeah, tackle charades are waiting for me " she laughed " I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas "
" Thanks, Stevie. Merry Christmas to you too " he hugged her briefly and she hugged back.
The stood in a comfortable silence for a few seconds, thing that helped Zander to finally gather the courage to make a move.
" Stevie? "
" Mmm? "
" I'm on your right "
" So? " she raised her eyebrows, confused.
" Well, there's a myth that says that if you kiss the person on your right on Christmas Eve you get everything you want for Christmas " he answered as if it was obvious, making Stevie laugh.
" Zander, you made that up for Grace! "
" Yeah, but just to be sure. I mean, what do you have to lose? "
" All right, all right " said Stevie, still laughing.
She leaned in to kiss him on the cheek but due to the darkness, she got the wrong measures and ended up kissing him right on the lips. Her eyes fluttered close before she realized, and she unconsciously pulled him closer an he put one of his hands on her cheek and the other one in her hair.
They probably would have kept kissing for the rest of the evening if it wasn't for Sam's sudden honking.
They broke apart instantly and looked at each other rather awkwardly, but smiling nonetheless.
" Well, that was... " started Zander, putting his hands in his pockets, sheepish.
" ...unexpected " finished Stevie, just as embarrassed as he was.
Sam honked once again, and Zander almost jumped out of his skin.
" Maybe you should go... " he said, tiling his head towards Sam's car " Your mother scares me "
Stevie laughed " Yeah, I probably should go... but... aren't you forgetting something first? " she added, smirking adorably.
" What? "
" You know, there's a myth that says that if you kiss the person on your left on Christmas Eve you get everything you want for Christmas "
" I think I already got what I wanted, but who am I to break traditions? " Zander laughed as he pulled her closer to kiss her again and again and again.
Reviews are very much appreciated, so take the hint.
