The snow layered the ground below her window, Rita pulled back the curtains. She glanced out, the trees lay bare, just a gentle frost sprinkled over the branches. The sun sat low in the sky the ice glinting in the light. Rita smiled as a Robin landed on her windowsill, it shook it's feathers a little, before looking up and flying away again. Rita turned back around and looked round her room. The clothes of yesterday were deposited on the floor where they fell the night before. Her bed was unmade still, Rita bent down and picked up the washing, left her room and placed it at the top of the stairs. She hurried back inside and closed her door, her phone flashed on with a message. She perched on the edge of her bed, her hand reached out to pick up her phone. She unlocked it and read the message.

'Morning, Happy Christmas Eve. Remember I'm coming to your house today! I'm so excited! I'm not even annoyed my parents won that holiday anymore! Connie xx'

Rita stood up a little bit too fast, her phone flew up in the air and landed smack on the floor. She quickly ran to is and turned it over checking it was okay. Once satisfied it had only gained yet another small scratch she set it down and then pulled her clothes out and got herself dressed. Connie was due to be at her house within the next hour as her parents were dropping her off before flying out to Spain for their Christmas holiday. Rita began to clean her bedroom a bit, she knew that Connie wouldn't really care but she thought she better make a bit of an effort. Rita's mum was downstairs, the occasional clatter rippled through the rooms but Rita had learnt to ignore the sounds.

The doorbell rang out. Rita raced downstairs even jumping down the last three steps. She got to the front door and pulled it open. Outside stood Connie. Her hair up in a bun, her cheeks rosy and her nose cold. She has a coat and scarf on. In one hand she carried a bag and in the other a present wrapped in gold paper. Her parents stood behind her, they had brought the presents for Connie from them so she would have something to open on Christmas Day.

Rita took Connie's bag, and Rita's mum told her parents to bring the sacks through. Once inside and farewells had been exchanged the girls ran upstairs and into Rita's room. Connie took off her coat. Her hair was laced with melting snowflakes. Rita brushed them out sliding her fingers through Connie's curls. Connie pulled her closer and met her lips with her own. It was going to be the perfect Christmas. Rita hadn't decorated her bedroom yet she had decided she wanted to do it with Connie.

Rita knelt down and peeked under her bed pulling out the box housing the Christmas tree and then the box full of decorations. Connie smiled as she saw Rita reappearing. They took the tree out of the box and attached the base, before they began pulling the branches apart. Connie bent down and pulled a love heart from the box. She stepped towards the tree and hung it on. Rita smiled as the silver glitter caught the light casting a reflection across Connie's nose. She stepped closer and kissed her. Rita wrapped her arms around Connie pulling her closer. They kissed again.

After they had finished decorating the tree. They sat on the bed and admired their work. Rita held one final part the Angel for the top. She stood up and Connie took her waist and lifted her up so she could reach. She placed it on top just before Connie fell backwards and they both landed in a heap on the bed. They burst into fits of laughter.

By this time it was getting late they had watched the next two hunger games and we're both trying hard not to fall asleep. They had just been called for dinner so made their way downstairs. As they sat at the table they exchanged glances when Rita's mum wasn't looking. For most of the meal they ate in a comfortable silence. Rita's mum making light chat with the girls. Once they had finished they went up stairs. Showered and got changed into pyjamas. It was just getting to about 9pm and both of them had, had a busy week and just wanted to rest.

They climbed into bed beside each other and Connie pulled Rita into her placing a light kiss on her head. Rita titled her chin up placing a kiss on Connie's lips.

"Goodnight beautiful, and happy Christmas Eve"

"Happy Christmas Eve. Goodnight"

The both relaxed as their breathing slowed and the inhale and exhale became rhythmic. The snow began to fall and settle outside the window. The magic of Christmas coming alive again.
