Just to remind you all, this is not very accurate because it doesn't really snow in California where they all live. So let's all just pretend it happened. I loved writing this drabble because of PAN CUDDLES!
During school, Jan sat in the outdoor cafeteria eating a sandwich in a heavy jacket because the temperature starts to lower. The ladies have just finished their lunch so they can sneak to the dumpster to smoke.
She puts the sandwich down just to drink some juice in a straw. After that she goes back to her sandwich and then noticed some white speckles went onto it. Is it dandruff? She thought, or Parmesan cheese?
Then some landed on the table. She looked to see a snowflake falling. Then she looked up to the sky and more small snowflakes fall gracefully down. She never seen this before all her life. This is her first time.
She smiles as more snow comes to the ground.
"Jan!" She heard her boyfriend call. She looked to see Putzie coming over to her.
"Didn't ya hear?" Putzie asked, "They're cutting school hours today and cancelling tomorrow! We're gonna have a snow storm for the first time in a few hours!"
"Really?!" She asked shocked.
"Yeah! So you gotta get yourself home and stay warm!"
Jan looked around noticing everyone's gone. "They all left?"
Putzie nodded, "They did! C'mon!"
They both got up and then left. On the way home, Jan asked, "Wait! Didn't you say you're home alone for a few days?"
"Well yeah... Why?" He asked confused.
"I don't want you to be alone in the house during a storm! Why don't you stay at my place for the night?"
He asked, "Are your parents alright with this?"
Jan nodded and said, "Maybe... I'll ask."
As soon as they entered Jan's house, she called out, "Mom? Are you home?"
"I'm here honey!" A voice replied.
Jan went to the kitchen to find her mom cooking soup.
"Hey mom?" She asked. "Can Putzie stay over? His family stepped out for a few days and I don't want him to be alone during the storm."
Her mom looked at Jan's puppy dog eyes for a moment and then sighed, "Alright. But no funny business! Got it?"
Jan nodded keeping the promise. She went to Putzie and says, "She said yes! You can spend the night!"
"Yay!" Putzie says sounding like a child.
Then day turned into evening, it turned dark and it's snowing more than two inches now.
Jan and Putzie stayed in the living room by the fire place and her mom came in taking mugs which were laying on the table. They were drinking some tea or hot chocolate.
She announces to her daughter, "Time for bed Jan."
"Awww mom..." Jan protested like a child, "I wanna stay up a little longer!"
She shook her head firmly and Jan sighed realizing there shouldn't be any funny business around here. She nodded and then asked, "Are you gonna be ok here tonight?"
Putzie replies, "Yeah. It's all good..."
Then she kissed him good night and went up the stairs to her room.
Her mom went to the lining closet to get a blanket and an extra pillow from her room and set it up on the couch for Putzie to sleep in.
He went to the couch and laid down there as he watches the snow fall and the fire crackling. But it seemed like hours to him because he can't sleep. All he wanted is his girlfriend in his arms at times like this because it became cold since the heater suddenly turns off. Even the blankets don't work. And turned a little more darker because the fire is dying slowly.
Then he heard footsteps creaking down the stairs. It may be someone getting a glass of water. Then soon he heard, "Hey…"
He turned on the small lamp nearby him to see who is is. It's Jan standing there in her pajamas with a white handmade stuffed bunny in her hand holding it's paw.
"Oh hey…" Putzie sighed grateful that it's no one else. Jan came over to the fire place and gently placed a log into it so it would get more warm. And then she turned up the heater by the window.
"Can't sleep," She asked sitting on the couch next to him with her stuffed animal.
He shook his head, "Nahhh.. It was so cold. And I sorta miss you."
Jan nodded and replied, "I was worried about you for a moment because I thought it would be so dark and cold down there. So I came to… check on you."
And then he smiled softly. "I see you bought 'nuffles' with you." He gestures to her stuffed animal. She showed him a collection of stuffed animals once and he remembers the name.
She nods and then hugs it. "I thought… well… when you can't sleep… I thought to bring nuffles just to help. It always helped me!"
"Awwwwww… thanks Jan!" She passes it to him and then the warmth of the fire comes to them.
Putzie sighs feeling warmth to him, "That's so much better…" Then he gathers Jan into his arms starting to cuddle on the couch watching the snowflakes fall at the window. They both kiss each other a few times while watching.
"Are you up to playing in the snow tomorrow?" Jan asked her boyfriend and then he nodded and replied, "Front of your house! 12:00! Be sure to get ready to be pelted with snowballs!"
"You wish!" Jan giggles while shushing trying not to wake her parents. The pair sat there cuddling for a while as the warmth came to them from the heater and the fire. It felt so cozy that Jan felt a little tired.
Putzie noticed his girl yawning and asked, "Tired?" She nodded slowly and then Putzie suggests, "I think you should get back upstairs. I don't want your parents to get upset or anything…"
"Putzie…" Jan says, "She specifically said no funny business. But this is serious business. (Yawn) And I don't want to go back to bed… This is the warmest I ever felt in my entire life…" Then she finished with a loud yawn and stretch and Putzie laughs softly.
"You're really cute when you're sleepy." He lays back down on the couch and Jan lays down on top of him with her head on his chest. He pulled a blanket on top of the both of them. She snuggles into him getting more warm and comfortable and closes her eyes. Putzie on the other hand, stayed awake for a few more minutes watching more snow falling. They're gonna have one hell of a snow day! But their first! He seems really excited about it.
He was about to say something to Jan but noticed she's fast asleep already all cuddled up on him, soft snores escaping her lips. He smiles and then kisses the top of her head stroking her hair. Her stuffed animal is still in his free arm. He tucked it in next to Jan and then wraps arms around her as she sighs contently nuzzling into him a little more. Then she slept on.
Putzie watched her sleep for a few more minutes until he grew tired too from the warmth coming from the fire, the heater, and mostly from his girl safe in his arms. The warm temperature carried him off to the land of dreams about playing in the snow with his best girl ever laughing and enjoying it for the first time.
What do you think of this one? This is my favorite!
