Christmas Love: Chapter 3
Thoughts: 'words'
Talking: "words"
It was the next day but [Name] hadn't gotten out of bed yet. She was determined to sleep the day away and hopefully forget about last night at the party. But she found herself slinking out of bed and walking downstairs. After eating breakfast [Name] walked into the living room and plunked herself down on the couch and turned on the TV. She quickly flipped through channels looking for something interesting but couldn't find anything so she shut off the TV with a sigh. 'Of course there would be nothing on…' [Name] sighed again as she stood up and walked over to the bookshelf and grabbed her favorite book and sat back down on the couch and began reading. Once she finished a few chapters she folded the corner of the page she was on and closed the book setting it down on the coffee table. After that she headed upstairs and decided she might as well get dressed. [Name] walked back downstairs wearing [favorite color] sweatshirt and grey sweatpants. She walked back into the kitchen and got the [favorite ice cream] out of the freezer and grabbed a large spoon as she made her way back into the living room. [Name] then put on one of her favorite movies and ate the ice cream straight out of the carton. "I feel like a miserable 40 something year old." She said as she took another spoonful of the delicious ice cream. After the movie ended and she finished the ice cream, she put what was left of said frozen dairy treat back into the freezer. She sighed, "What a productive day." [Name] then walked back into the living room and turned on the television once again but this time it actually had something on that she wanted to watch. Contently she sat and watched her favorite show for the rest of the day. 'Thank god for marathons.' Later she stretched and looked at the clock, 12 am, it read. "Well I think I've done enough loafing around." She got up and turned off the TV as she headed up to her room. It didn't take long for sleep to take her.
The next day, well really later the same day, [Name] got up and felt a little better. She took a quick shower, made the bed, and got dressed. She even cleaned the place a little. Not that it needed much cleaning ever she was a fairly neat person. After all that, [Name] decided to head out to the shopping mall not too far away. It always made her feel better to do some window shopping. As she got to the mall she instantly felt even better. [Name] began to look around at all the items displayed in the window's of all the stores. Just as she was feeling really good, she saw him. He was sitting on one of the benches that the mall has in case people wanted to take a rest. [Name] didn't know what to do. She was frozen in the spot that she stood unable to bring herself to walk past the Italian. He didn't seem to notice her so that was good but now what was she going to do? Then it hit her. 'I'll sneak around behind him!' [Name] thought as she slowly changed her path and began walking behind the bench Lovino was sitting on. Just as she was about to pass the bench she collided with something solid and fell on her butt. "Oh sorry, miss." Said the man she had bumped into. [Name] stood quickly, "It's fine. No one got hurt so that's good." The man nodded before he continued on his way. [Name] then turned and to her surprise, Lovino was staring at her. He looked like he wanted to say something but it never passed his lips. "I-I gotta go!" [Name] then quickly walked away and hoped he wasn't following her. He followed her quickly retreating form and stood.
She was still walking at the fast pace she set in order to get away from Lovino. "[Name]!" She heard her name being called and knew it could only be one person. But, she continued on. She wasn't going to stop for him. "[Name]! Please'a wait!" he called after her, hoping she would stop and give him some time to explain. [Name] sighed and stopped. 'I hope I'm not going to regret this.' She thought as she watched the Italian walk up to her. "[Name], I'm sorry'a…" "I didn't'a mean to say that'a stuff it just came out! I'a really liked your gift." He said as he looked on her with a slight blush and a small smile. [Name] couldn't believe it! He actually liked the chocolates!? "Why didn't you try telling me this sooner? Like while I was still at the party." She replied as she crossed her arms over her chest. Lovino sighed, "I-I don't'a know… I just didn't want'a to see you upset eventhough'a it was my fault…" "I r-r-really'a like you." He quickly added to what he already said. [Name]'s [e/c] eyes widened and a bright red blush found its way to her cheeks. "I-I really l-like you too." Now it was the Italian's turn to blush. They both stood there in silence blushing at each other. Lovino scratched the back of his head nervously, "So'a what should we do now'a?" "I don't know, hold hands or something?" [Name] replied still blushing. The Italian blushed again, "I-I'a guess so.." he then took [Name]'s hand hesitantly into his. "Like'a this?" He asked. "Yeah, just like that." She said with a smile. They then proceeded to walk out of the mall together with blushes still present on their faces. They only parted when Antonio came to pick Lovino up.
[Name] hopped on the bus that would take her back home. She stared out the window with a big goofy grin on her face the whole ride. Once she got home she began to dance around happily to no music at all and giggled the whole time. She was one happy lady and nothing could change that. At least she hoped nothing would change that. Suddenly Christmas time meant so much more to her. And in only a few more days Christmas would be upon her and everyone else. It excited her because she would be able to spend Christmas with the one she now knew returned her feelings.
