Well I hope you all have a good Christmas!
I was trying to sleep, but letting my mind fully ease and relax was a task I was not going to accomplish tonight. My body rolled over a little bit expecting to feel Jared's presence, but it wasn't there. I could feel myself start to worry a little bit, worrying thoughts clouded my dazed mind. Where did he go? I tried to shake the thought as I heard a thud downstairs. My mind seemed to be a little more alert now. I got up and found a robe, wrapping it around the skin my pajamas didn't cover. I felt a little anxious as I walked into the living room too see Jared standing in the kitchen cooking something. The aroma that filled the air was a cross between a warm vanilla and sugar, it was clearly cookies. I smiled as I walked closer to him taking in the scene that was laid out in front of me. He was standing there baking cookies that came out of some sort of plastic wrap. I couldn't help but slightly laugh at his attempt to be some what sneaky. His eyes looked up and quickly met mine, only to look some what shocked. I smiled as I made my way over to him, grabbing one of the cookies that was already baked. Did he really think he could sneak bake cookies and I wouldn't find out. I begin to giggle as I walked over to him, my mood began to lighten.
"Your not very good at sneaking around?"
"I didnt think you'd wake up."
We both began to laugh as I sat on the counter, taking in my surroundings. It was peaceful and I felt at ease for the first time in what felt like weeks. I watched him as he poured me a glass of milk and handed it to me, along with two more cookies.
"Your gonna make me fat."
"Just more to love."
I laughed and playfully pushed him as I quickly drank the milk. I once again felt tired, but I didnt feel like going to sleep yet. I wanted to stay up and spend this day with him, our little bit of privacy before tomorrow and before were off to the cabin with the rest of the group. My thoughts were cut short when the fire alarm started to go off, I quickly looked up to see what was happening. Jared must have burnt the cookies because he was trying to wave a cloth infront of the alarm to shut it up. I couldnt help but laugh, and laughing right now sure felt good.
Pagebreak;
We were in the car on our way to the cabin, thankfully Ian and Wanda were in the front of the SUV. I tried to listen as Ian explained to us that Kyle and Sunny were already at the cabin waiting for our arrival. I had met them once and they seemed alright and I could surely handle them for a couple days. I smiled as I looked out of the window and snuggled deeper into Jareds arms. Today was hard enough for me, not to mention being stuck in a car for hours without being able to move. I dont mind being with the group I would be stuck with, because they were basically the only family I have left. Well other than my little brother, who still has to finish up college in a year. I was once again interuppted by the song that came onto the radio, it was no doubt due to that fact that Wanda's phone was plugged in. I looked at her with amazement as she quickly turned it, and both of us started to dance. It was the first song we listened to at our first college sleep over, basically how our friendship started to build. It was no doubt Wanna Be by The Spice Girls, and now we were both belting it out as the guys looked at us like we were crazy. I couldnt help but soak this in as a new memory, not to mention Jared was laughing beside me. Ive been so uptight and upset this past week I forgot what it felt like to be happy. I loved spending time with everyone, mainly because it made me feel a hundred times better. It made my soul some what start to heal, it made me think that maybe even if bad things happen we can still be happy. I was actually starting to feel better as Wanda and I sung along to every song on her phone, until Ian whined to listen to something guyish. As soon as she turned it, this guy song came on. I dont know what its called but Jared and Ian were suddenly singing and dancing along to it. Wanda and I quickly shared a glance before we both started to laugh at the two idiots sitting beside us. Some how, I dont think I would want it anyother way. Not to mention, this Christmas would be fantastic.
