Artie

It was the day before Christmas, and I was very excited for tomorrow. I was going to celebrate the day with my girlfriend, Tina. We planned to spend Christmas morning with our families, and the afternoon would be ours to share. I was convinced I had the perfect present for my girl. Most women enjoy getting expensive jewelry and perfumes… but Tina? She prefers new combat boots or a Nirvana record.

All the time I think of how lucky I am to have a girl like Tina in my life. She is beautiful, funny, and talented, we are soul mates. We have had our fights in the past, mostly because I am a jerk who does not deserve such a wonder girl like her.

It was now 12:00am, and I got a text from Tina that read, "Artie, Merry Christmas! I love you :)." I smiled to myself and responded with, "Merry Christmas to you Tee, see you tomorrow… love you 3," and with that I fell asleep dreaming of the wonderful day to come.

I woke the next morning to see fluffy white snowflakes falling from the crisp blue sky. My thoughts were then interrupted, when my little sister Morley ran into my room screaming, "Merry Christmas Artie!" I laughed and transferred myself from the bed to my wheelchair and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Merry Christmas to you to Morley," I responded. "Why don't you wake up mom and dad, and see if Santa ate his milk and cookies!" Morley is only 9, so she still had that young Christmas spirit in her.

"Okay!"

I wheeled myself into the kitchen and made some hot chocolate and coffee for my family and I. While waiting for the drinks to finish, I heared the ringtone I Kissed a Girl, knowing exactly who was calling.

"Hey Tee!" I said happily.

"Hey babe, how is your day so far?"

"Good, haven't really done much though. Oh, and what time am I going to see your beautiful face my dear," I playfully flirted.

"Well, I think maybe at 12:00, and we can have lunch together," she giggled.

"Sounds great! I will see you then! Bye sweetie."

"Bye."

The rest of the morning went by fast. My family and I opened presents, ate a delicious breakfast cooked by yours truly, and watched A Christmas Story. (Is it just me, or do all families watch that movie on Christmas?) My parents gave me a new guitar case and music, which was on my wish list, and from Morley I received McFly's newest record, Above the Noise.

It was now nearing lunchtime, so I took off my sweatpants and faded Pink Floyd t-shirt, and dressed into my usual grandpa sweater and mom jeans. Most people I knew hated the clothes I wore, but for some reason Tina loved them. I guess she likes dorky, guitar playing gleeks. Once I finished, I drove my car over to her place where we could be alone, since her parents visiting some friends for the afternoon.

When I drove up her driveway I could see her stunning face through the window, waiting for me to arrive.

Tina

I watched Artie get out of his car, and into his chair. He looked so cute, with his messy hair and thick-rimmed glasses. Even though it was below 0 degrees out, I still went to greet him outside.

"Hey there," I spoke softly, with a smile forming on my face.

"Why hello there, Christina Cohen-Chang, you're looking lovely, as usual," Artie commented.

Tina blushed. "Thanks sweetie," I replied as we walked inside

We came inside, talked for a bit, cuddled by the fire place, and had Mr. Noodles for lunch. Artie and I were not the fancy type. Mr. Noodles was as good as it going to get. However, that is what I liked about us. We did not care what others thought, we did what we wanted and no one could influence us otherwise. We were stutterfly and wheels.
