Leah's Pov
Christmas. A holiday full of joy, mirth, and love. Yeah right put a stocking in it. Christmas nowadays is just an excuse for people to receive all the shit they want. I for one hate Christmas.
It's not the same anymore. When I was younger my dad would take me on fishing trips with him, then we would spend all day trying to catch fish. Once we caught as many fish as we wanted, mom would cook them in different ways, smoked, broiled, and stewed. Then we would all gather around the table and eat. My parents kind of made it a tradition to talk at least on Christmas so we did.
After the great meal we would all watch Christmas specials on tv while sipping hot chocolate. Seth, being a weirdo he is, would drink orange juice instead, while dipping a candy cane in it. I remember the house being warm and smelling like fresh pine needles and creamy eggnog. That was Christmas.
"Is this how your gonna spend Christmas Eve?" There's no need to question the man behind the voice. I turn around to see Jacob casually leaning against the doorframe.
"What do you want?" I ask tiredly, but the irritation is still visible. He sits down on a stair step with me.
"Your company." I snort as I play with my thumbs.
"No one wants my company." I mutter.
"I do." Jacob says firmly. I look at him and meet his eyes, sincerity and honesty written all over them. I don't know how to respond. Jacob fumbles around in his pocket and pulls out a bracelet with a wolf charm.
"Merry Christmas Leah." He says as he puts the bracelet on my wrist. I'm stunned at his gentleness and the beauty of the gift.
"I didn't get you anything." I whisper, embarrassed.
"You already gave me what I wanted." My brows furrow.
"What?" I ask confused but he just smiles and cups my face with both of his warm hands.
"All I want for Christmas is your company." He says with a smile. I find myself smiling as well. This Christmas isn't so bad after all.
