Happy Christmas Eve, y'all! I'm glad you took the time to read this as you rush to get your Christmas fics done.
In all seriousness, THANK YOU. Y'all made my Christmas reading this.
So we see the start of Jaya working to get together. It took me forever to not make this chapter incredibly cheesy, but I hope it works.
It was now two days before Christmas. Jay and Zane had taken a Lyft to the junkyard to help Jay's parents prepare for Christmas, leaving the girls and Cole at the Brookstones.
"So have you talked to Jay yet?" Bri asked as she finished packing.
Nya groaned. "No. We haven't had a moment alone all of this trip. Every chance we get to talk someone starts chaos."
"Hey, I told you several times I'm sorry about the snowball fight yesterday." Bri deadpanned.
"I didn't say anything about that."
"I know you were thinking it. Did you give him the gift you got him?"
"I was too nervous and left it in his suitcase when he wasn't looking. As well as a note."
"That's a start."
Nya was about to retort when Cole knocked on the door. "You ladies ready to go?"
"Just a minute!" Bri closed her suitcase before grabbing something out of the pocket and stuffing it in her purse. Nya also closed her suitcase until she noticed a small gift box and an envelope inside. Quickly pulling it out and putting it in her purse, both girls left the guest room.
"Dad, I'll be back in an hour!" Cole shouted as he left the house with the girls.
He dropped Nya off at her house first, which was 20 minutes away, then took Bri to her house. After walking her up to the porch, he stopped in front of the door without knocking.
"I figured now would be a great time to exchange gifts." He told her.
"I thought so, too." She pulled a smallish package from her purse and watched as he opened it. Inside was a framed painting of a gorgeous mountain and forest. "I know how much you love the Forest of Tranquility and Mount Jago, so when I found this at a thrift store, I immediately thought of you."
Cole grinned as he hugged her. "I love it." He pulled a small box out of his pocket when they broke away. "Here."
Bri opened it and gasped. Inside was a necklace with a single charm. The charm was a combination orange bass clef and purple treble clef forming a heart.
"Cole, this is amazing. I love it." She said as Cole took the necklace, turned her around, and put it on her. When she turned back around, they gazed into each other's eyes lovingly.
"Merry Christmas, Bri."
"Merry Christmas, Cole."
They locked lips in a very passionate kiss. Bri wrapped her arms around his neck while Cole held her hips, pulling her against him.
Unknown to them, the door opened, Oliver stepping outside. He just stared for a while before going back inside and shouting.
"Jeffery! Your daughter is ravishing her boyfriend out here!"
It wasn't until Jeffery cleared his threat that the couple broke apart, looking very embarrassed.
"Well then. Cole, thank you for returning my daughter safe and sound. Have a merry Christmas. Bri, inside please."
Bri obliged, but not before giving Cole a quick peck on the cheek.
Cole, meanwhile, walked back to the van, a triumphant smile on his face.
Before anyone else was awake on Christmas morning, Nya sat alone in her bed messing with the small box left in her suitcase. How she had managed to hold herself back from opening it as soon as she got home was a mystery, but here she was now, almost afraid to open it.
She decided to look at the envelope first. Upon opening it, she immediately recognized Jay's handwriting.
'Nya, I don't know how to explain this, but I think I'm in love with you. I know, subtle, huh? But there is no other explanation. I think about you everyday. When you are with me, I feel complete, and away from you I am empty. I'm sorry about avoiding you after the ice rink, but I am honestly scared that if we start dating, you won't like what you see. The guys told me that's utterly ridiculous, but Zane isn't even in a relationship yet and Cole is a perfect ladies' man no matter how many people think he's gay. Okay, I know I'm rambling, but I just want you to know that I want us to be more than friends. You don't have to answer this right away, but I have a serious question to ask you.
Nya, will you be my girlfriend?'
Jay'
Nya smiled as she put the letter down and opens the box. Inside was a necklace with a red and blue dragon charm. She grinned wildly as she put it on and thought about what she had to tell Jay.
"NYA! WAKE UP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
She jumped as Lloyd banged on her door and shouted before running in the other direction, presumably to go wake up their parents. But she wouldn't have it any other way.
'Jay, what to say to you.
First of all, I'm sorry about running away after the ice rink incident and avoiding you for the past week. I'm honestly scared. The whole thing with Kai has screwed with my trust. My father lied to me about an uncle I never knew existed. I don't know what to think about my relationships anymore. I hope you can understand that.
But I'm not going to let it stop me from finding love. That's right, Jay Walker. I love you.
It's funny that one four-letter word can have such an impact. It makes you feel helpless around those people you share it with, it causes happiness, but also fear.
I'm not going to let this fear stop me. I want to be with you, Jay.
Love, Nya'
Jay almost couldn't stop himself from shouting for joy. Nya loved him. She really did.
He left the Star Wars pocket watch she had gotten him on his bed as he exited the trailer. Upon getting outside, he did a legit backflip and shouted "hallelujah" loud enough for the whole world to hear.
Or at least his parents.
"Jay, if your going to do that, please wait until everyone is awake next time!" Edna shouted from the trailer.
"Sorry, Ma!" He shouted back, still giddy.
Conversation between Zane Julien and Luna Adana: 7:04 AM
LA: Zane, you shouldn't have.
*LA sent a picture*
LA: how did you know that turquoise was my favorite?
ZJ: it's the color you always wear, dear. Merry Christmas.
LA: Merry Christmas! ;)
And a Happy New Year! Time to start the New Years arc! 0_0
