Christmas Eve into Day
*Hey! This might. . .Just might. . .be the last chapter. It depends on how much I write. If it's not. . .There will be one more. But anyways, here we go!
11:59 p.m.-
"I didn't ever want her to get the impression that I didn't think she cared about me. Did she say she liked me? As more than a friend? Did she say that?" Matt thought to himself, as he lay awake in his bed. "I didn't mean to push her away! Now what am I going to do? I've got to talk to her." Matt swung his legs over the side of the bed and headed down the hall. He knocked softly on his sister's bedroom door. No answer. He knocked again. No answer. He slowly pushed the door open. In the bed by the window there was Miranda's outline. The other bed was empty. Lizzie was still out with Gordo. "I wonder what those two are up to tonight?" Matt laughed a little and then exited the room. Miranda was asleep. It would have to wait until morning.
12:30 a.m.-
"Shhhh! Gordo! Don't wake anybody up!" Lizzie whispered to Gordo as they snuck back in through the back door. All the lights were out. They quietly walked up the stairs hand in hand. At Lizzie's door they said good night.
"I'll see you in the morning." Gordo said drawing her into a breathtaking kiss.
"Wow. Okay." Lizzie quietly went into her room after one more quick kiss from Gordo. Gordo went down the hall into his room and pulled off his jeans and shirt. He climbed into bed with just boxers on. He was startled when somebody moved next to him.
"Oh my god!" Gordo screamed.
"Shhhh! It's just me! Matt! In my own bed." Gordo relaxed. "Are you just now getting home with Lizzie?"
"Yeah."
"You dawg!"
"It's not what you think Matt. We played in the snow."
"Uh-huh."
"Go to sleep."
"Fine."
1:00 a.m.-
"I can't sleep." Miranda thought to herself. Lizzie had woken her up when she'd come in and now she couldn't get back to sleep. She got out of bed and pulled on her robe. She went silently down the stairs and into the kitchen. She put water on the stove for hot chocolate and then went to the cabinet to get a mug. The mug slipped out of her hands and went crashing to the floor.
"Shhhh!" Miranda hissed aloud to the now shattered coffee mug. She started picking up the pieces when she heard footsteps on the stairs. The kitchen door swung open revealing Matt.
"Hey. Let me help you." Matt bent over and began helping her clean up the broken glass.
"Thanks."
"Listen about earlier. . ."
"No, I overreacted." Miranda threw away the glass and then retrieved two cups for herself and her guest.
"No you didn't. I was acting childish and stupid. I was blind." Matt got the hot chocolate mix from the pantry and poured it in with the water. "I really want to tell you something." "Okay shoot." Miranda opened the bag of marshmallows and continued to stir her hot chocolate then dropped the marshmallows in her drink. She looked back at Matt and then down on to the counter. 'I Love You' was spelled out in marshmallows. She glanced back up to Matt's face that bared a look of hope and fear. "I'm scared Miranda. I'm scarred I'm going to ruin a wonderful friendship in the next five seconds. Please say something."
"I thought soldiers didn't get scared." Miranda stated and then smiled. She grabbed a handful of marshmallows from the bag and put the number '2' on the end of the 'I Love You.'
"How long?" Matt asked coming around to her side of the counter.
"Two years. You?"
"Longer than that." They both laughed awkwardly.
"What does this all mean? It's happening so fast." Matt grabbed her hand and sent a shiver up her spine.
"I don't know. All I know is that I'm in love with you. I don't just 'love' you in actually 'in love' with you." Matt pulled her closer and kissed her softly.
"Oh my God Matt."
"What?"
"I've never felt this way before! I feel like I could fly!"
"Does this mean you'll be my girlfriend? Oh that sounded really corny. . .but you know what I mean." Matt searched her eyes.
"Of coarse. I'd do anything for you." They took their hot chocolate and curled up on the couch in each others arms, falling asleep to soft Christmas music.
Christmas Morning
"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" Lizzie jumped up and down on Gordo's bed. Gordo opened his eyes and smiled. "Where is Matt?" Gordo checked the other side of the bed.
"I don't know. He was here when I fell asleep." They looked at each other and made a beeline for Lizzie's room.
"Miranda's gone too." Lizzie stated the obvious.
"Thanks for clearing that up for me. I couldn't see that with my own eyes." Gordo laughed as Lizzie faked a mock hurt. The quietly walked down the stairs, spotting Matt and Miranda fast asleep, curled up next to each other. Lizzie smacked both of them on the head.
"Wake up before Mom and Dad find you two like this." She hit her brother again.
"Ow. Lizzie." Matt rubbed his head.
"So I take it you two are 'together' finally?" Lizzie smiled.
"Did you tell her before?" Matt and Miranda asked each other at the same time.
"You both told me."
"And you didn't tell me that?" Miranda asked.
"I didn't want to ruin the surprise." Lizzie screamed as a pillow flew in her direction.
"Morning everyone!" Jo announced from the top of the stairs. Both couple separated from their embraces. "I know everything." They looked around, confused. "I saw Lizzie and Gordo kissing in the front yard from the window and I saw Matt and Miranda sleeping together when I woke up at 2:00 this morning to put out the presents." All four mouths dropped open. "Don't worry I won't tell your father."
"I already know." Sam said coming to put his arms around his wife. "And I'm so glad you were going to keep these relationships from me since I practically made them work."
"What do you mean?" Jo asked.
"If I hadn't got transferred here when you were pregnant with Matt these four would never have met! Props to Sam!" Everyone laughed.
The Christmas morning was a complete success. Everyone loved his or her presents and Gordo vowed he'd never take his watch off. Matt got Miranda a silver heart charm for her charm bracelet. But none of these gifts mattered. They got the best gift of all. Their potential mates!!!!!
*Hahaha! That means they are getting married! And I'm so done with this story! I hope you liked it! Lemme know if I should write about the weddings or the road to the weddings! I'm very pleased! And for the record. . .I'm done on Christmas eve at 9:22!!! Review with your opinions please. Oh! I got my mom and Angel for her nativity set! Thanks for all the suggestions!
