Christmas Evening

Mai woke up that morning with somewhat alittle sun shining through her window.She strechted and went out to the kitchen,it was very early so she didn't remember what day it was at first.She walked over to the stove and looked up at the calender...her eyes widened as she saw whatday it was.
"CHRISTMAS!"She yelled remembering where she would be in four hours.She calmed down and started frying eggs,she watched them slowly cooking.When they were done she just sat at the table and stared at them sit there.She was exited and worried all at the same time.She listened to the silence...there wouldn't be silence much longer.

Joey snored...LOUDLY,and them his alarm clock started going off.He hit the snooze,then 2minutes later it started going off again.He shut it off and got up,he went into the kitchen where his mother greeted him with,
"Morining Joey,merry christmas!"He fell on the floor,it was christmas!I'm supposed to tell her today!>He thought,not ready for any of this.He got up and sat down staring into space,Not today,I'm not ready...>
His mother put pankakes down in front of him,he didn't notice or care though.So many questions went through his head...and he didn't have an answer for any of them.

Four hours later Mai was at home still not ready,she quickly put her dress and makeup on,she would see him soon,she was terribly exited and nervous.

Joey's mother and father were in the kitchen preparing the meal for later,there was not much conversation going on though.In the living room Joey was trying to make everything perfect,Serenity just watched in amusment of his hyper,the world is coming to an end state.

Mai pulled her jacket over her dress and went out to her car,once in she took a deep breath and started the car.....it was gonna be a looooooong day!
She arrived at Joey's house and uneasily crept up the steps,she rang the doorbell,ready to turn back at any moment.Joey swung the door open quickly to see Mai standing there with a faint smile on her face.
"Welcome,Mai.Merry christmas!"He said happy as could be to see her standing at his door.
"Merry christmas to you too."Mai replied not as cheerful as Joey,but definatly just as nervous.She entered his house to see so many beautiful decorations.God,I havent seen decorations this attractive since,forever!She thought staring at them,her eyes reflecting the glitering in the decorations making her eyes sparkle.Joey noticed this and couldn't help but gaze into those vibrant,alive,joyful eyes longingly,seeing her so content and happy made him love her,and want her even more.

"Hello,you must be Mai,I'm Joey's dad!"Joey's father came out of the kitchen to see what was going on,and he found somone else in his living room.Thos snapped Mai and Joey out of their little trances.Mai greeted everyone,and was properly introduced
to Joey's parents.Then Joey took Mai's jacket from her so dhe wouldn't get hot.When she took it off,it reveled a long red dress,a low v cut neck,long flared sleeves,and a red choker.Joey's eyes nearly fell out of his head,his father leaned towards him and wispered in his ear,
"So is she staying over night?"teasing him,turning Joey red as an apple.Mai saw the way Joey was looking at her ans slightly blushed.Then she came back to reality and walked up to Joey,
"You know,I'de appreciate it if you didn't look down my shirt."She said noticing that as she walked over to him,he didn't resist the urge to take a look at the extra long v neck her dress had.He was glowing red now,he wouldn't make it through the night if he had close encounters like this.
"Excuse me for a moment."He said in a really hight squeeky voice,then rushed into his room.

A little while later,things weren't really all that exciting,so Joey's mother suggested..........singing christmas carols.Joey and Serenity were looking for the nearest exscape,while their mother got out a book of christmas carols for them to sing.Mai had no problem with it,and neither did Joey's father.So they sang,but Joey and Serenity sang very little at the beging not enjoying it at all,Mai sang very timidly,Joey's mom sang in perfect volume,while Joey's dad had the excuse to keep eye on the ham.Later on Joey and Serenityu got more into it,efore you knew it they were practically yelling the words,Mai's voice didn't get any loader,and Joey's mother was just trying to shut the to singing siblings up.Eventually that idea failed when the neighbors started to complain about the noise.

They all calmed down and decided not to do something noisy to annoy the neighbors.Joey's mother came up with the activity again,but thi time she chose scrabble.They broke off into two teams,Mai and Joey,Joey's mother ans Serenity.Joey's father got away with having to tend to the christmas dinner again.Mai and Joey started off pretty good,but Serenity and Joey's mother started to get really good at the game and were winning big time!Unfotunatly Joey kept looking up words and accusing serenity and his mother of using made up words,so eventually they lost.
"You know,it's your fault we lost."Mai said bored and not miss happy fun girl because threy lost....by quite a bit.
"Hey!I was coming up with all the words and making all the desisions in that game!"He snapped back making her even angrier.
"Well if you had listened to me we wouldn't have lost!"
"Oh and yes,we must all take orders from our majesty queen Valentine!"And it went on like that for a looong time!The others left the room because they didn't really want to listen to the constant fighting going on in the living room.

"I can't beledive you blaim me for your idiocy!You were always like this,oh it just can't be my fault!I'm the damn king of the damn world!"Mai shouted making Joey even more hot headed.
"Well your a-"He was cut off when he and Mai grabbed eachother and started kissing hungerly.Nobody else was in the ropom so they didn't know any thing off what was going on.Mai pushed Joey down on the couch and his arms crept up her back and his fingertips rubbed the skn under her dress colar.Their tonges started to enter eachothers mouths,Mai mouned a littlew and Joey rubbed harder.Serenity didn't hear anymore fighting sao she went to check and make sure they both weren't dead.
"Dinner is almost ready."She declared walking into the room to see they were still alive.
Mai and Joey bolted up at the sound of Serenity's voice.They practically jumped off the couch brushing off and Joey went into the kitchen to help his father,he was so confused.Mai sat down and smiled alittle to herself.For her,she was quite dissipointed it stopped,but this definatly wasn't the place or time.

A while later they all sat down to dinner.It was a ham,cranberries,mashed potatos,cooked vegtables,stuffing out of a can,and chocolate mousse for desert.They all sat down and started to dig in!Joey ate like a pig,as usual.At the end of the meal,it was time to exchange gifts.For mai it was more of an event watching Joey's family exchange gifts.She gave the cards and certificates to his family,she wanted to talk to Joey alone when she told him about the reservations.

Joey knew he was supposed to tell Mai he loved her tonight,but he couldn't tell her,he couldn't have her hate him,when he felt they were already drifting apart,not in the way he was loving her less,or that it would be easier to face turn down.But that she made herself more distant from him,he didn't know why,but he wasn't up to finding out,but this drifting feeling disapeered when they kissed earlier that day.The problem tonight was the c.d. he made for her had the way he felt about her in the lyrics,he planned on telling her when he made it.Now he was nervous,well,more so know.

Joey's family went to bed after a while.Mai and Joey were left alone there,they decided to exchange the gifts.
"Okay Mai,you go first."Joey said to her,he needed her to go first if he could ever give her his.
"Okay,well,I couldn't exactly wrap your gift but here it is."She said spreading her arms open.'Is she implying...she couldn't be,whoa...'Joey thought blushging deep,but them Mai spoke up again.
"I got you 2 reservations at that new club down town for tomorrow night."She said surprising,but letting Joey breathe.
"Wow!That's impossible!I haven't been able to get reservations there since it opened!' he said happily,something he wantewd badly,and she was able to get for him.
"You didn't have to get me something like that Mai,you could have just come as are,it was gift enough you acctually came!"
"Well I didn't have anything to do,at all."She said smiling slightly."So,what did you get me?"She asked eagerly.He was about to take a risk,but then he got an idea.
"I made this c.d. for you,but you have to promise not to listen to it until tomorrow night."He said handing her the c.d. and telling her.She looked at it and ran her fingers over it.It was something straight from him,completely origional.
"And Mai,I would like it if you ame with me to the club tomorrow night."He said looking at the reaction he got when she received the c.d..
"Joey are you sure?"She asked not beleiving the wonderful night she was having.
"Sure."

A while later after they talked a little bit more,Mai left knowing she had what had to be the perfect christmas.
