A/N: So I'd thought I'd try something a little different with this one. This is going to be in the pov of a kid that works that the ice rink at Rockefeller Center. I thought that someone else could give us a little insight on Jasper and Alice during the holiday season. I don't know if I liked how this turned out . If you read, please Review. Got any Ideas, let me know.
I had been sitting here for the better half of the day, just watching people circle ice. Parents brought their kids, or teenagers came with friends; but mostly I had to watch loving couples circle around hands intertwined. The last shift had started thirty minutes ago, Midnight was only an hour away and then I was free. I could go to my apartment, snuggle into my covers and sleep for the better part of Christmas eve. I had seen all different kinds of love today, puppy love, young love, love that seemed true, love that was fading, love that was gone, and love that been together for decades. But right on the dot at ten-thirty, I had seen a new love. This couple was young, but seemed like they had been in love for decades, centuries even. The way the two just fit together like a jigsaw puzzle; it seemed that without the other, they wouldn't be complete.
My eyes followed them as they skated flawlessly across the ice. They both were bundled up, but never stopped for a break or hot chocolate. They were the two most beautiful people my eyes have laid upon. The guy, who looked younger than me was taller than me, with blond hair sticking out from his winter cap. The girl was small-pixie like and move gracefully like a dancer. I wasn't the only one that noticed that couple, each time they skated by another couple, they seemed to look up at them and smile. As if they could wish for a love like that.
Their hands weren't clad in gloves, but they didn't seem to mind. Their hands were firmly grasped into the others, never letting go. It seemed as the more times the pair went around the ice, the less people were left on it. The boy twirled the girl into a circle, and her laugh rang like wind-chimes. I caught myself smiling as her laugh reached my ears, as if her laugh was contagious. The two seemed to not notice their was at least three dozen people around them on the ice, and even more sitting and watching. They were so lost in each other; that they didn't feel all the eyes were on them.
The bell of midnight rang throughout the rink, signalling the people that it was closed. Everyone left, except the two. They clung to each other skating in a small circle at center ice, it seemed as if they were dancing. But no music played any longer. I couldn't tell them to leave, they were to serene, to beautiful to disturb. So I placed a c.d. into the player, and dimmed nearly all the lights expect one. I played a spotlight on the pair at center ice. They didn't need it though, the two shone brighter than the Christmas Tree lights some odd yards away. I couldn't bear to look at them any longer, it seemed like I was intruding on something way to private. I look one last gaze, before turning away and I swore I saw them glittering in the light.
I let them dance through my whole c.d. and when the finally song came to an end, I looked up. They both were smiling, and the looks on their faces showed how in love they were. I felt like I could feel their love, aching my own heart. My heart felt ready to burst out of my chest as the skated to the side of the rink. They both stepped off gracefully, and removed their skates. I looked at my watch as they walked past move booth, whispering to quiet for me to her. The boy let out a small chuckle, and I smiled to myself feeling happy.
The clock read ten after one but I no longer cared, that I was late going home. I felt love and happiness in waves, I ejected the c.d. and shut of the light. As I walked home, I couldn't the two out of my head. They were so young, so beautiful, and seemingly so in love. But their love was different, I thought as I realized they didn't kiss the few hours they were at the rink. Their love wasn't based on physical stuff, it was emotionally and true deep caring love. I smiled to myself thinking how lucky I was to get a Christmas miracle, to actually see true love.
