Chapter 4 - All I Want for Christmas
"Man, I wish Thanksgiving was tonight," Phil said to Keely as he surfed through the channels.
"Me, too. I love Thanksgiving!" Keely answered.
"Hey, Keel? I was wondering... since we don't have anything to do right now... you wanna catch a movie?" he asked.
"Oh, that would be SO great! Yes, I'd love to!" she said excitedly.
"What do you wanna see?" he asked.
"Well, I'd like to see a Christmas movie."
"Me, too. How about that new movie about the two kids in high school that fall in love?"
"Oh, you mean Just Friends? Yeah, I've been wanting to see that! That sounds great! But I thought you didn't like chick flicks?" she asked.
"Well, I don't... but I knew you'd wanna see it and I even kinda wanted to see it. So... let's go I guess"
"Okay, that sounds good." As Phil helped her put on her jacket, Keely's phone rang.
"Hello?" she said into the receiver. "Aw, man! That sucks! No, it's fine. I don't mind, really. Where am I gonna stay? Okay, I'll ask." Keely covered the mouthpiece with her hand. "Uh, Phil? My mom was offered some extra holiday money and she's gonna leave town for Thanksgiving. Do you think I could stay here until Tuesday? We'll take the bus together and stuff."
"Oh, it's cool. I'll just go ask my parents." Keely nodded her head.
"Keely? It's cool with them!" he shouted from upstairs and ran back down. Keely smiled and pulled her hand away from the mouthpiece of the phone.
"Mom? It's cool with them. Yes, I know. Okay. WHAT?" she sighed. "Fine. Okay. Love you, too. Be careful. Bye." She then hung up and looked at Phil disappointedly.
"Phil? My mom wants me to go get my stuff at my house and she doesn't want me out after 11:00 and it's already 11:15. We're gonna have to see the movie tomorrow morning."
"Aw, man! Okay, that works. Let's go get your stuff." Keely nodded and they were out the door.
They got back at about 11:30 and went up to Phil's room and they each got on the internet... Keely on her laptop, Phil on his, side by side on his bed. Then Keely got an Instant Message. It was Via.

Then Phil broke the silence between them. "Keel? I've been meaning to ask you... what does your screename stand for?" Keely blushed a bit.
"It stands for my crush's initials."
"Who's your crush?"
"Why would I tell you?" she said. Phil rolled his eyes lovingly and hugged Keely tightly.
englishgurl90 - okay i g2g, my cousin is kicking me off the computer... im gonna kill him one day... ttyl
PDluvr01 - lol, i would too... c ya
Then Via signed off and Phil and Keely began talking again.
"So..." Keely said as she looked at Phil's screen. "Hmm... KTluvr... who's KT? Does it stand for the name 'Katie?' " she asked, hoping for him to say no. He did. "Then what does it stand for?"
"Why would I tell you?" he asked.
"You're just getting me back for the thing I did to you, aren't you?"
"Yeah," he said. Keely punched his arm and turned her attention back to her computer screen.
They just sat there talking for awhile until about 1:00 and Keely shut her computer down, pulled down Phil's bed, and changed into her pajamas in the bathroom and climbed into the bed.
"Uh, Keel? Where am I gonna sleep?"
"With me," she said as she patted the space beside her. "I can't sleep on couches, they make my back hurt."
Phil's jaw almost dropped through the floor. "Um... okay... this feels a little awkward."
"I know, but it's not like we're gonna do anything."
"Well, I know, but..."
"Just come on!" she said. He shrugged and climbed in beside her and turned over to her side. They looked into each others' eyes for awhile and talked about Christmas this year.
"Keel, what do you want for Christmas?" he asked her.
"A boyfriend. Desperately." Phil laughed. But Keely was thinking... 'What do I want for Christmas, you ask? You.'
