Rydel's POV

Ellington pulled into a small, rundown restaurant with peeling white paint. I looked at the sign, it read 'Jane's Breakfast Nook'. Interesting.

"I know it doesn't look like much, but it's my friend's grandma's place. And it has amazing breakfast."

"It looks great! And thank-you by the way." I said as I leaned over and gave him a small peck on the cheek. Causing me to blush a little. But mine was nothing compared to Ellington. Talk about a tomato face… I had to admit it was a little cute though.

We got out of the car and walked in. Inside there were Christmas decorations everywhere. Even a giant Christmas tree standing in the corner.

An elder woman with fading red hair came to greet us.

"Why hello Ellington," She greeted. "Who is this with you?"

"Hi Rudy, and this is my best friend, Rydel Lynch. Both of our families ditched us for the holidays. So we're having our own Christmas together." He said sweetly.

"Why hello sweetie." She said to me.

"It's nice to meet you," I said as she shook my hand.

"You too darling. Now, is it just you two?"

"Yes ma'am." Ellington answered and she led us to a small booth in the back.

"What do you guys want to drink?" She asked.

"Well, I'll have an orange juice please." El said.

"I'll have one as well."

"Coming right up dears." She said as she placed down menus and walked away.

"So, what looks good?" Ell asked.

"Umm… Ohhh! Look, strawberry waffles, my favorite!" I said as Ellington laughed.

Rudy came back with our juices and took our order. I got my waffles and El got some maple pancakes.

"So," El started as I sipped my orange juice. "When are your parents coming back?"

"Umm… Ry, Mom, and Dad won't be back until after the New Year and neither will Riker or Ross. Rocky is supposedly coming back on the 28th, but who knows." I answered.

"Yeah, my parents were supposed to be back tomorrow, but they decided to stay longer." I laughed.
"Shows how much they care about us, huh?"

"Yeah, really." Our food came shortly after and we ate quickly, as we were starving.

"Oh my gosh Rydel. You have to try these pancakes they are amazing." He quickly stabbed up a bite and held it out for me across the table. I blushed, but ate it. They were amazing. But I couldn't fully enjoy it because there was that tiny fact that I was eating off of ELLINGTON'S fork…

"Those are quite delicious." I said as I stabbed my waffles and held out a bite for him. Sweet, sweet revenge. His face turned a lovely shade of scarlet, once again, but he ate the waffles.

"Those are great too!" He exclaimed. I noticed that he had a small glob of syrup on the corner of his mouth. I gently reached over and grabbed my napkin. Dabbing the corner on my tongue, I reached over and put my hand on the side of Ellington's face, which heated up to my touch, and dabbed the syrup off.

"There," I said smiling brightly at him. "All gone!" He laughed with me and we got up to leave. I started to take out my wallet, but of course, El stopped me.

"I got it."

"Ellll," I groaned.

"No, I got it. End of story."

"Fine." I said while pouting.

A lady named Mary rang us up and gave Ellington back his change.

"Thanks El." I said while hugging him.

He wrapped his arms around me.

"Anything for m'lady." He said as I blushed, again.

We traveled back to his house and chilled out for the rest of the day.

*End of the Day*

"Merry Christmas Rydel," Ellington said as he kissed my forehead.

"Merry Christmas El," I hugged him tightly and went to bed.
