"Uh oh, sounds like someone needs to sing a Christmas carol!"
It was Christmastime in New York; a magical time for young and old, for those who were seeing it for the first time, and for those who had seen it a dozen times before. There was a light snow falling, lights were strung on every tree, all the store windows were decorated, and the whole city had a magical glow to it. Everyone was in the Christmas spirit; except for Kelsi Nielson. This was her first Christmas away from home, and having lived in Albuquerque her whole life, she wasn't used to the snow and cold, so she was grumpy and uncomfortable because of that. She was sitting on a bench one day, waiting for her teacher to get there to open the classroom. She had stuffed her hands in her pockets, trying to keep them warm. Just then, Ryan Evans came over and plopped down next to her on the bench. His cheeks were bright red, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Enjoying the snow, Kels?" He asked, his eyes sparkling. She grumbled a response, burrowing more into her coat, cursing the locked door of the classroom.
"Uh oh, sounds like someone needs to sing a Christmas carol!" Ryan exclaimed, jumping up.
"What?" Kelsi asked, not liking where this was going. Ryan started singing without preamble.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Toys in every store. But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door!"
"Ryan, please stop," Kelsi pleaded, but he didn't seem to hear her.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open–"
Ryan was abruptly cut off as Kelsi silenced him in the only way she could think of; a kiss full on the mouth. She drew back, scared about what she might have just done to their friendship. But Ryan just grinned at her and said
"Oh so you didn't like that one, huh? How about: 'Up on the housetop –."
Kelsi couldn't help but grin back as she pressed her lips to his again, now not even noticing the cold, or the fact that the teacher had finally arrived and opened the door to the classroom. The only thing that mattered now was Ryan, with his lips pressed to hers, and his arms around her. Maybe, she figured, this winter won't be so cold after all!
R&R!!
