Between You and the Mistletoe

Chapter 2- The Confession

Hey guys it's your girl Maysangel coming at you if you didn't know. And I know it's after Christmas and I haven't replied to any of ya'lls reviews but I'm working on it! I've been on Winter Break and you know what that means…gifts and (sadly) family reunions…but I hope you like this!

In the room I shared with Ash…

I twirled in the mirror looking at my outfit. It was the same one I always had on, it just felt different. I had just gotten out of the shower and now I was fixing my hair since I had everything else on. Then I heard a knock on the door followed by my new boyfriends' voice. That's right Ash was my new boyfriend! But why not I busted a gut to tell him my feelings. I deserved it.

"Hey May, can I come in by chance?" He asked silently.

"Yeah I'm just doing my hair I'm fully clothed." I giggled.

He walked in right when I needed him to hold something for me. I smiled as he walked in and up behind me and placed his arms around my waist pulling my back against his chest.

"Hey Ash you think you can do something for me?" I asked sweetly as remotely possible at the moment. Even though I was ticked at my hair.

"Yeah what do ya need me to do?" He asked playfully.

"Can you put your finger right there so I can tie this bandanna…right anyway." I said showing him where to put his finger.

"Yeah right here?" He asked placing his finger on the wrong place on my head.

"No try right here." I smirked playfully placing his finger on a sort of knot in my bandanna. I blushed though as I touched his slightly warm hands.

I tied the bandanna and straighten it on my head fixing the ends of my hair making sure it was curled underneath. He sighed and placed his hands back around my waist as he began to speak as I looked in the mirror.

"May you look so pretty in black and pink." He said causing me to blush bright red before sighing and saying his name. He looked over at me "I'm serious you do. No offence but this is more of your color then the red you used to wear." He said leading me into the bedroom and sitting me on his dresser as I giggled.

"Actually, Ash I agree with you. I like pink and black better anyway. And what about you with that gold and black?" I asked playfully shoving him.

"You've got me there and now I don't have to tuck in my shirt anymore that's a relief." He chuckled.

"Why did you set me up here?" I asked looking down knowing that my feet wouldn't be able to reach the ground.

"Well," he said walking up to me placing his hands on my waist pulling me against him. "I put you up there so you wouldn't run away." He smiled.

"What? I'm confused…run away from what?" I asked completely and utterly confused out of my mind. "Why would I run away from my boyfriend?"

"I don't know maybe you don't want me to do what I'm about to do." He said rubbing his hands on my arms. That lucky him he was tall enough to reach without stretching his arms all the way out like I had to do.

"Do what?" I asked kind of afraid of what he was going to do.

He got real close to my face so that I could feel his breath blow against my face. I felt my heart flutter as he did this. But it wasn't in an embarrassed way or anything it was more in a nervous way. He nuzzled his nose against mine making me giggle again. And then he did it…he kissed me…in my lips. I felt myself sliding off his dresser as the kiss got deeper. Then I slipped off the dresser into his arms. But when I fell into his arms he kind of fell onto the bed me being on top. Though that really didn't stop anything…for a little while anyway. But I pulled away cause I lost all my breath. I starred at him for a sec before finally speaking what wanted to come out.

"I-I'm going to get off you now." I said as he gulped and nodded.

I got up and blushed a deep crimson before helping him up. I tried to let go of his hand but he just held my hand tighter before pulling me into his arms in an embrace holding me close to him. He leaned and kissed my forehead before speaking the three words again.

"I love you May Maple." He said looking at me he's eyes showing me a since of passion and honesty. It calmed me though as I placed my head against his chest.

I sighed. "I love you too Ashy."

"Why do you call me Ashy?" he asked confused at why I called him that little pet name.

I smiled. "Because, I think it's adorable! What you don't like it?" I asked kindly showing hurt in my eyes.

"No! I like it I was just wondering don't get me wrong ok." He said as I laughed.

"I was just playing Ash I'm serious though, if you don't like it then I won't call you that anymore." I smiled

He was about to answer as the door bell rang. Ash sighed and looked at the clock on the wall. He sighed again then looked at me.

"It's time for the party. You know what happens next…we're gonna have to tell them about us." He said as my heart sort of sank to the bottom of my chest.

"Ash I'm kinda scared of what everyone else is going to think of me. Not that it matters but I don't want to be hated." I said as we began to walk down the stairs. And then he stopped in front of me and held my hands close to him.

"May you know what I don't care what anyone says about us because I'm in love with you and that's all that matters to me." He said looking for my answer.

"Ok Ash I totally have faith in what you just said and I agree completely." I said hugging him then we walked down stairs, hand and hand up to the door to Bianca.

"Hey Ash. Oh My Gosh, MAY!!!" She smiled hugging me tightly against her. Bianca and I might not have traveled together but we were best friends. Bianca used to come to Professor Birch's lab all the time when we were young for some reason. (Alright people I know wired that I used Bianca in this as Mays BFF, but let's also pretend that Bianca and May are best friends for this story alright.

"I didn't know you were coming! Ash why didn't you tell me May was coming? You know she's my best friend!" Bianca said.

"I don't know Bianca I guess it was going to be a surprise." Ash smiled.

"May I've missed you. But I have to show you something in my room. But by chance do you know where it is?" Bianca laughed.

"Yeah come on I'll show you." I smiled taking her hand and leading her up the stairs and into the guest room.

"Here you go Bianca Mrs. Ketchum trust you'll be happy here. But you Misty and Dawn are sharing a room." I smiled.

"Where are you sleeping May?" she asked.

"Ash and I are sharing a room since he has two beds in his room." I smiled fiddling my fingers.

"Ok." Bianca said dropping the subject. I liked how she would do that. That way I didn't have to tell her every single detail. "Thank you May for showing me my room and I love your new look." She said twirling me around also just as Mrs. Ketchum had done the day before.

"So Bianca what did you wanna show me?" I asked.

"Well here I got something for you." She smiled. Then took out a box with a necklace that said Yours Forever on the front and then an inscription on the back. "I know about you and Ash." She smiled.

"How do you know?" I asked confused and blushing a bright crimson.

"He talks about you a whole lot and I can just…he told you didn't he?" I asked cutting into what she was trying convince me of. "Yeah and I wanted to give this to you for him and I got it inscripted for you too." She smiled as I read the inscription on the back.

I will love you forever

-May

"Awe that is so sweet Bianca thank you." I smiled hugging her before there was a knock on the door as she handed me my jewel and I placed it in my pack and opened the door.

"Hey May my mom wants you and I wanted to talk and catch up with her." He smiled. I nodded and went down stairs.

2 hours later…

Ash and I are outside after everyone (Bianca, Tracey, Brock, Misty, Dawn, Max, Misty's sisters, and Professor Oak.) else went to sleep. We were looking at the Moon and the stars of the Christmas Eve sky. He wrapped his arm around me pulling me against him. And then I spoke.

"Ash are you ready to go and wake everyone up and tell them before tomorrow?" I asked.

"You're ready to tell them now? Don't you think we can wait awhile and tell them tomorrow?" He asked looking down at me.

"Yeah but, come on Ash. I think we need to tell them before tomorrow morning. Ash come on tomorrows Christmas and I'm not going to be able to not kiss you tomorrow." I admitted turning a bright crimson that would put a tomato to shame. Thank goodness it was dark.

"You have a point with the kissing thing I don't think I'll be able to resist you either since you girls are going to be all dressed up and stuff. And all the mistletoe that my mom has put up around the house. Like remember the first day you were here?" He said.

I sighed, "Yeah the day I told you I loved you."

"Yeah even though it was only yesterday. It was still probably the most wonderful day of my life." He said running his fingers threw my hair.

"Same here and I would never give anything for what I'm feeling now." I admitted holding his hand tightly in mine.

"Yeah and I would never want to give away this feeling either." He smiled before pressing his lips against mine. Then I tried something I haven't tried before, I let my tongue slip against his lips urging him to open his mouth. And to my surprise he did it. Allowing my tongue to slip in rubbing the roof of his mouth. But yet only after starting this I stopped.

"What why did you stop?" He asked panting. "I didn't think you knew how to do that."

"I stopped because I don't have any breath left. And I didn't think I could do that either. I don't even know what that was." I admitted smiling.

"I think I heard that when you use your tongue it's called a French kiss… Wow." Ash said holding me closer to him.

"Really? You think I'm a good kisser?" I asked slightly shocked.

"Yeah positively the best." Ash smiled. "So you think we need to go wake up and tell everyone now?" he asked playing with my hair again.

"Yeah but first I wanna give you something." I smiled before taking the necklace out of my pack and holding it in my hands.

"What's that May?" He asked looking at what was in my hands.

I smirked then held up the necklace. His was on a black cord and was a red jewel with the words yours forever on there and on the flip side was my inscription. I giggled at his look and then I stood up on my knees and placed it around his neck.

"May did you get me this?" He asked.

"Well, Bianca got it for me for you." I smiled.

"Oh well I love it. It's beautiful and I have something for you too." He said before taking a gold locket out with the same words yours forever engraved in the front and some words engraved on the back. That said:

To the star in my sky.

-Ash

In fancy letters and on the inside were places for pictures. It was amazingly beautiful. He smiled at me and moved my hair to the side and placed it around my neck.

"Ash I love it! Thank you so much." I smiled kissing his check.

"To tell you the truth I got this from Bianca too." He blushed in embarrassment as I giggled.

"Well I still like it and all the lights in your house is on and so why don't we go tell them now?" I begged I wanted to get this over with.

"Ok you're right let's go tell them." He smiled getting up and taking my hand in his and running into his house where everyone was sitting.

"Ash, May where have you two been we went into your room Ash and you weren't there." Dawn said rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah where have you guys been?" Max asked.

"Just thinking outside. But we have to tell everybody something." I said looking at my brother and then at Ash's mother.

"Yeah. Guys me and May are together." Ash said closing his eyes ready for the being yelled at. But there were no screams of displeasure but of acceptance.

"Aww that's so sweet! My little Ash has his first girl friend!" Delia smiled hugging us tightly. "Good thing to, Ash no offence but I thought you might swing the other way." Delia admitted.

"MOM!! I'm not like that watch." He smiled before kissing me quickly and then pulling back.

"Anyway." Max said trying to keep in his laughter. "Sis that's awesome I knew you loved Ash. And Ash, I know you like May."

"Yeah it was pretty obvious when you guys traveled together from what Max told me." Dawn winked.

"Well I'm glad you approve Max." I smiled. This of course was the truth, if Max didn't like my boyfriend then neither would my dad.

"Yeah of course I approve! Ash is like the older brother I unfortunately I never had." Max said looking at me. I felt my face slightly heat up as Mrs. Ketchum made her last comment.

"I wonder what my grandchildren will look like." She pondered out loud.

(Sigh) I guess that's what all parents want…grandchildren. Which if you ask me makes stretch marks. And I don't think that is in my future for a very long time. I looked up at Ash who happened to be yelling at his mom for her comment. I looked around the room and then I looked up the stairs yawning. Ash must have seen me because he picked me up bridal style and carried me up the stairs and laid me into the bed covering me up in the process then turning off the light as I drifted off to sleep.
