I only own Evey

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT


I looked around the small chalet. It was made of oak wood and had a small fire burning in the centre of the downstairs room. I smiled turning around on the spot and looking at it. In the centre of the room were two brown sofa's with large faux fur blankets over them. There was also two wicker rocking chairs as well; all of this sitting on top of a brown faux fur rug. Looking around the room; my eyes moved about to the several doors and the set of stairs leading to what i presumed was the bedrooms. There was a fully furnished kitchen and bathroom as well.

The fire crackled in the background and then i felt someone's arms around my waist. I smiled leaning back into him.

"It's gorgeous Troy...I can't believe your parents let me come with you. I can't believe my parents let me come" i gushed. He chuckled and said

"Why wouldn't they?"

"Just thought maybe they would want to spend a New Year with me for once" i smiled weakly holding back a tear. He gripped my waist tighter comforting me. I smiled. Then I pulled out the embrace and we both went over and sat down on one of the sofa's. I gave a sigh and leaned my head over on Troy's shoulder.

"This is going to the best New Year ever" i giggled. He lifted his head from where it was resting on top of mine and looked down on me with an amused look on his face.

"Why do you think that?"

"Because i get to spend it with you" i answered truthfully.

The truth is i find myself falling for Troy harder everyday. The simple things are what ropes me in deeper. Even just the way he looks at me or the way he strokes my forearm without realising it. The way he kisses me everyday when i meet him at his locker to the way he holds my hand tightly when we are walking through the school. Even just being around him gives me a feeling of being on a high. It makes me feel so special. I think i am falling in love.

"Are you okay baby?" he asked suddenly. I nodded with a confused expression on my face "You were just staring off into space" he added. I shook my head and said

"Just thinking about you".

"Me?" he asked with a smirk.

"Yeah and how much i'm glad to be here with you".

"Awww well i am glad i am here with out too".

"Good 'cause you're stuck with me" i giggled. He laughed as well and placed a light kiss on my forehead before i leaned my head down on his chest.

The door to the lodge opened and in came Lucille and Jack with big smiles on their faces. Lucille shivered at shook the snow off of her and then came in and sat down on the sofa opposite us. We both smiled at them and she said

"Wow...cold out there" trying to warm up by the fire. Jack sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. I smiled from where i was leaning on Troy's shoulder.

"Right now we have to talk" Jack added. Me and Troy both sat up staright immediately causing them to have amused looks on their faces.

"What is it?" Troy asked.

"Well...as you know yourself Troy...there are only two rooms in the chalet..."Jack began but Troy cut in and said

"Dad it's okay...i told Evey she can sleep upstairs and i will take the sofa" he looked at me for support and i nodded.

"Well that is what we wanted to talk about" Lucille started "We think that over the past month or so that you and Evey have shown us that you are serious about how you feel about each other...so we are trusting you to sleep in the same room. However when we say this we don't want anything going on up there..okay?" Lucille finished looking between me and Troy. I looked at Troy and he smiled and then i smiled. I looked back at his parents and we both nodded and agreed to what they had said.

"Okay now go and get unpacked" they both said at the one time and then Troy grabbed my hand and we went running off up the stairs. Troy showed me the room and i opened the door and went in.

There was a small sofa, and a wicker chair to match downstairs in the room. In the centre there was another fire but this one wasn't lit yet. Also in the centre there was a large king-sized bed with clean cut white sheets. I walked over to the window and pulled the thin netting curtain back to see a view of the foot of the mountain in front of the main lodge. I smiled and gave a sigh.

"It's amazing" i gushed to Troy. He smiled and came over behind me and took in the view as well.

"It is isn't it?". I nodded and then came away from the window and went over and collapsed into the large comfy bed; lying back and staring at the ceiling. He came over and lay down beside me.

"This is going to be the best vacation ever" i sighed. He leaned over from where he was beside me and perched himself over me. I smirked and then he leaned down and captured my lips in a sweet kiss. I touched his face lightly as he kissed me and then when he pulled away he muttered

"Of course it will be. You are here with me. Now what shall we do with this rather large, comfy bed?" he smirked bouncing on it a little. I laughed loudly and he started to tickle me which made me laugh louder.


We spent a fantastic Christmas together huddled under blankets by the fire downstairs in the sitting room. Me and Troy were sitting on the floor under a blanket and Lucille and Jack were on the sofa together. I didn't have many presents as mine from my parents were still at home and i wasn't allowed them until i came back. Lucille and Jack bought be a gold chain with a gold love heart on it. In the corner of the heart was a small ruby stone. I was taken aback by the gift and did endless amounts of thanking them. I also tried refusing such a beautiful gift but they were having none of that either. Troy bought me...wait for it...a star. I was just as shocked. I didn't know that you could buy stars but he bought me one. He gave me a scroll tied with a gold ribbon. I was confused and then he told me to look at it. I opened it carefully and it was an authorization certificate to show that i owned the star. It also had the co-ordinates of my star and how to find it. When i found it what it was i started crying with happiness because i was so touched my his gift. He hugged me tightly against him for about 5 minutes before i let go.

I bought Troy a black Nixon Venture watch. On the back in got something engraved and i showed him what it was. It was T and E 4ever. He smiled and then kissed me lightly as i put it on for him. I gave Jack one of my dad's old basketballs which was signed my the whole team of the Lakers team from his year. He was chuffed with that. I had cleared it with my dad and because he had two of them he said it was okay. I gave Lucille a white gold necklace which had an arrow with a diamond heart hanging it. She thought it was one of the most gorgeous things she had seen. We spent the day cuddling and laughing together; reminiscing about times past.


"Baby are you ready yet?" i heard Troy's voice from the bedroom. It was New Year's Eve and we were heading down to the party. I remember that this is where Gabi told me she had originally met Troy. I sighed. As much as i enjoyed myself i did have some qualms about spending my New year somewhere that one of my best friends met her ex boyfriend; who is now my boyfriend. I fixed my hair in the mirror and checked my make-up before checking my dress over. I had choosen a dress that showed off my figure but not one that made me look too slutty.

"Babe?" Troy said again "We have to go. It's already 11.30. We'll miss the fireworks" he added. I had slept in a little that afternoon. I had went to bed with a sore head and wanted to be okay for the party tonight and Troy forgot to wake me so it has taken me forever to get ready.

"I'm coming" i called smiling at myself in the mirror and smiling at his impatience.

"Good" he huffed. I unlocked the bathroom door and pulled it open; walking out confidently in my heels. Troy was leaning against the wall outside the bathroom and as i came out he stood up quickly, flustered a little. He fixed himself and i eyed him; he was wearing a white shirt with thin black pinstripes through it and black trousers with his shoes. His shirt was unbuttoned at the top down to the first three buttons and he was wearing a black jacket over it. It his hair was swept over his eyes bringing them out. He eyed me and then said

"Wow". I giggled and blushed and then said

"Thank you" before wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him. He smiled wrapping his around my waist; lowering his hands right down till they were just above my bum. I smiled into the kiss and pulled away and then he said

"Come on. Let's go". I nodded and we went downstairs and i got my coat and then we left the lodge hand-in-hand.

I was wearing a mid-thigh length silver bubble dress. It had an embroidered neckline and fitted my figure perfectly(picture in profile). I paired it with a pair of silver saprkly slingback shoes and a silver clutch with beads on the clip. My hair was in a half up and half down style. I pinned the top half up with a sparkly butterfly clip.


We walked over to the lodge and got there at about 11:45 which means we would only have time to get a drink and then go stand outside for the fireworks. I smiled as Troy led me through the crowds over to the bar. I ordered a water with lime again and Troy got a cherry coke. We got our drinks and then took them outside to watch the fireworks.

"So what is your new year resolution?" i asked him as we stood outside; me in front of him with one of his arms around my waist. He was quiet for a few moments and then i looked up at him and he snapped from his thoughts.

"Hmmmm...what'd you say baby?" he asked.

"I asked what your resolution is? What's the matter?" i asked concerned. He shook his head and took a sip of his coke and replied

"Nothing. Just thinking. Let's watch the fireworks" he said turning back to them. I nodded letting it go; but i knew there was more.

I drifted off into thoughts about me and Troy. Especially what i was thinking when we first came here. I seriously find myself falling harder ever day. More so when he bought me the star. I was so overwhelmed and gobsmacked because i never expected something like that. He is just so amazing and makes me happy so everyday. I know that when people say that someone brightens up their life that it sounds cheesy but i mean it. He really does. I just can't seem to get enough of him.

The other night i was lying beside him awake. He was sleeping; facing me. I traced my fingers along his facial features trying to make a mental image of them so that i would remember them forever. He was so peaceful when he was sleeping and he looked gorgeous in the moonlight.

"One minute till midnight babe" Troy whispered in my ear. I shivered at the tickling rush of air and the sudden noise; which snapped me from my thoughts. I looked up into the sky and watched in anticipation as everyone began to watch for the fireworks.

"I love you" i whispered really quietly as the countdown started.

"Ten, nine, eight!!" people shouted. I smiled and then Troy said

"Did you say something Evey?". I looked up at him; turning around to face him. He smirked and said

"What?"

"I said..."

"Seven, six,five,four!!!" the countdown went. I smiled at him again and repeated it

"I said..." As the last numbers were counted down i said it outloud.

"I love you Troy" i shouted as everyone suddenly clapped and shouted Happy New Year. Fireworks exploded into an array of colours in the sky; causing bangs and lighting up the sky all over the place. I waited for him to respond but he never. He just stood there. Just stood. He never said anything and he had an unreadable expression on his face. I gave a sigh and looked down while placing my drink on the high table beside us.

"Forget i shouldn't have..." i cut myself off realising i couldn't say it without crying.

I turned and began walking back to the lodge.

I got literally 3 seconds away from him when i felt him grab me around the waist and pull me around and kissed me passionately. As much as i tried to resist i just couldn't and i started to kiss him back wrapping my arms around his neck. He ran his tongue along my bottom lip and i granted him access to my mouth. He slipped his tongue in and as we made out i felt everything melt away. All my sadness and tears and hatred for him when he didn't answer. He pulled away and i opened my eyes slowly to see his already open and he was smiling wildly.

"I love you too" he simply said before kissing me again.
