so uh...Merry Christmas/ Happy holidays and a Happy New Year to all! I am SO happy it's winter break...I'll probably be able to do more chapters in a shorter amount of time...seeing if I don't go off reading...I'm reading this new series...it's called

Vampire Academy...and then there's like 2 sequels which is Frostbite and Shadow Kissed. Awesome story. :)


After quite the erotic and sensational shower, we were both changed, me in a shorts and a tank top combination with him in pajama pants and going shirtless. Sigh, I wish New York had a climate where Edward can go topless without catching a cold. The world was so unfair.

"Would you like to cuddle up and watch a movie, or cuddle up on the hemlock outside and stare out at the stars?" He asked, bringing out a jug of sparkling water and pouring us each a glass. I pondered that for a moment, thinking of the possible movies from the numerous stacks of DVD's that lined the wall around the plasma screen. Yet, staring at the skies in Edward's embrace was so much more appealing, bathing in each body heat without any interruptions.

"I thought teddy bears were for cuddling, not humans?" I teased, placing a finger on one of his pecs, making little circles.

The second option outweighed the first so I grabbed his hand and led him to the hemlock a few steps to the side of the house, hung between two trees. There was a warm Caribbean breeze blowing through as we lied there, staring at the endless skies filled with shimmering white and silver dots. It was peaceful with the soft crashing sounds of distant waves and salty smell mixed with tropical fruits.

His arms wrapped around my body, holding and pulling me closer to him. His warm skin gave a comforting security, like I could take on the world with him by my side. My neck tingled, his warm breath giving my heart the same erratic patterns it'd grown accustomed to when I was in such close proximity with him. My head rested against his chest, feeling every rise and fall of his soft breathing.

"Can you still remember the first day we met? When I'd been the "asshole" of the day?" He asked suddenly, breaking the peaceful silence with his serenading voice.

"Yes, it was the first time I ever had to raise my voice on someone." I giggled, thinking back to when Edward and I had been in an argument, thoroughly getting each other mad. Yet, when I look back, it seemed almost dreamy...a daze like quality to it.

"It was also the first time I'd seen an angel." His lips touched my forehead with a tender kiss and chuckling.

"I wish you'd stop looking so highly of me...it's almost impossible." I shifted to stare up into his eyes, a darker emerald that shimmered from the full moon.

"Then don't be so pessimistic. You've locked my heart away and these compliments will only progress more everyday, just like how I love you more and more everyday." He whispered with a strong, defiance to his voice, like he was proving to the world how much he loved me.

"You're going to run out of flattering sooner or later and on that day, I will prove to you that I'm not that great."

"Well, then I will just have to love you more." A crooked smile on his face and I'd forgotten the quarrel we had.

My eyes were slowly drooping, the hypnotic sounds and caressing breezes were not helping for me to stay awake. A yawn slipped through my mouth, a signal Edward took as slumber time.

"It's bed time, Sleeping Beauty." He began humming, a lulling sound that added to my dreams as I began drifting further into the world of sleep.
