So one or two more left... Then I'll make another one... Well I'm already started on it but I'll continue it
Mistletoe
The next morning
The sun was actually shining through the icy window. Glittering on the snow, making sparkles everywhere.
Hay Lin's eyes opened up. "One more day past!" She got out of her covers, "One last day to go!" Out of excitement Hay Lin's feet suddenly didn't touch the ground.
"Excited a bit?" Taranee's voice called.
"Yeah a bit." Hay Lin said as she floated down. A cold shiver ran down her spin. "And unbelievable cold! I thought the sun was shining."
"Yeah, well it hasn't changed it temperatures in that way, but in other ways." Irma said.
"What do you mean?" Hay Lin asked confused.
"Have you taken a look at the couch? I was kicked out of it this night!" Will groaned.
The four girls turned their heads towards the couch.
"Oh my gosh!" Hay Lin said at the sight. "That's just sooo cute!"
Caleb was half lying down and half sitting up. His arms were wrapped around Cornelia protectively who were lying next to him.
"Should we wake them up?" Irma asked already having a water cloud over their heads.
"No Irma let them sleep." Will said, "We may have to stop teasing them."
Irma's water cloud disappeared and she flopped down on a chair. "Ugh! You're all so boring and over romantic!" She mumbled.
Cornelia twisted in Caleb's arms making him slightly awake.
"Hey! Pretend to not care! He's waking up!" Taranee said and the girls sat down on their pillows turning on the TV.
Caleb's eyes slowly opened. He yawned and stretched his arms. Wow how he'd been sleeping amazing! He looked down and saw a sleeping face hidden behind long blonde hair. He slowly stroked it away, and sighed heavily.
"Why are you down lover boy?" Irma asked randomly.
"I don't know… It's just that this doesn't seem real. I mean her in my arms, is all I ever wished for but… It just doesn't feel right."
"Perhaps it's because she hasn't told you how she feels… Or the other way around…" Hay Lin said
"Yeah… maybe." Caleb kissed Cornelia's hand.
She turned and began to open her eyes.
"Come on, we have to leave them alone to handle this." Irma said and pulled the girls up.
"And that should come from you?" Taranee asked narrowing.
Finally the eyes opened, and they were shining beautiful sapphire.
"Morning," Caleb said nervously. "Have been sleeping well?"
Cornelia looked confused up at Caleb's face. "Actually spectacularly!"
"Really?" Caleb asked with too much hope
"Yeah…" She smiled
"Me too…"
She sat up, and was about to leave when Caleb grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"Wait, I… I really wanna talk with you."
"Sure…" Cornelia looked deeply into his emerald eyes
"I… I really like you Cornelia… A lot actually…" Caleb's eyes wandered around the room. "I don't know how you feel, but I just thought you should know."
Cornelia smiled happily and kissed his cheek. "I like you too Caleb, a lot!"
Caleb smiled and pulled Cornelia into a hug.
"Yay!" Hay Lin whisper yelled
"She just kissed his cheek." Taranee said
"Exactly my words." Irma said
"But still. They've told each other how they feel! They're officially dating!" Hay Lin said
"I'm with Hay Lin," Will said and walked into the living room.
"Morning Will." Cornelia said happy
"Morning… Now are we clear? You're official dating right? No need to keep pushing you to tell each other how u to tell each other how you feel?"
Cornelia looked at Caleb, "nope!" They both said holding each other's hands.
But I still wonder who that girl is he was talking about, Cornelia thought.
Taranee laughed. "Hun, if you used your brain under all that hair you might figure it out!"
Flashback
"Is it a girl?" Cornelia asked smugly
"Maybe…." Caleb mumbled.
"Is she beautiful?"
"Beyond beautiful," Caleb said dreamy again. "She has pretty hair…"
"How does she look?" Cornelia asked trying to hide her jealous feelings.
"Oh well she's a little tall and has beautiful blonde hair, and well she's really sweet" Caleb blushed as he looked into Cornelia's sapphire blue eyes.
Caleb got up and took the most of the shopping bags.
"You don't have to-", Cornelia started but Caleb insisted.
"I don't mind carrying them. They're not heavy at all. Besides I'm the man here, in Meridian men do things like that. Especially for the women they care about"
"I wish they did that on Earth too." Cornelia said as they walked toward the exit where they were meeting the others.
Caleb put the bags in one hand, and intertwined his fingers with Cornelia's. When Cornelia looked at him, he smiled lovingly and she smiled back.
"Look at that young couple! Don't they look happily in love?" An old lady said to another old lady as Caleb and Cornelia passed.
"Sure they do, and look how a gentleman he is. Carrying her shopping bags," Said the other old lady.
End of Flashback
"It was… me?" Cornelia asked surprised. "You think I'm beautiful?"
Caleb smiled, "Beyond beautiful as I said."
Two hours later everyone was clothed, packed and ready to go home
"Bye Cornelia! It was fun see ya tomorrow!" The four girls waved goodbye, and left.
Cornelia walked out in the hall and stood in front of Caleb.
Caleb looked down at Cornelia and smiled. "Guess we'll see each other tomorrow?"
"Uhm…" Cornelia began, "Do you think you could stop by my window later around 11?" Cornelia nervously.
Caleb grinned, "Sure why not? I'm probably gonna go insane without you so let's say I'll be there."
He bended down and kissed her cheek.
"Mommy why is that guy kissing Cornelia's cheek?" Lilian asked
Oh great… Just great!
Caleb stood up as tall as he was flushing slightly red.
"Well Lil, I'd like to know that myself!"
"Uhm mom…" Cornelia began
"Mrs. Hale… I'm Caleb" He pulled out his hand
Mr. Hale shook it with narrowing eyes
"Uhm… mom… Caleb and I are kinda… dating" Cornelia said with deep, deep hope.
"Well… You seem like a really nice boy. Why don't you invite him-"
"About that, the girls and I already asked him two days ago…"
"Well alright we'll see each other again tomorrow."
"Yes Mrs. Hale."
"Please call me Liz."
"Alright goodbye Liz… Lillian." Caleb turned to Cornelia. "I'll see you later." He whispered.
He kissed her cheek once more and left.
"Bye…" Cornelia said dreamy
"He's good looking honey. Hold on to him."
"Mom!" Cornelia blushed. "I will." She whispered.
Around 11 to soft knock came from the balcony
Cornelia almost fell as she ran over to the door
She opened it and fell into Caleb's embrace.
"I've missed you" She said
"Likewise…"
They sat down and talked. Cornelia slowly began to doze off in Caleb's arms just like the night before.
Caleb kissed her forehead, cheek and hand then went to the balcony door. "Sweet dreams love."
Yay they're finally dating! Why am I so excited? Anyway Review! No Flames!
