Sue had not been avoiding Axl. Yes, she had conveniently had something to do each time Axl came home, but that was all coincidence. Very planned out coincidence, but coincidence nonetheless. She'd even avoided him at Thanksgiving. Axl had brought some girl he didn't even know, Sue had brought Darrin, and Brick had brought his adorable girlfriend, Cindy. She used them to keep there from being any alone time between the two.

It wasn't because she stopped being interested in him, in fact, all of her attention felt like it was being stolen by him. Sue was afraid that if they spent too much time together, Axl would get tired of her. So she kept her distance.

It was now nearly Christmas. Grandpa had offered to buy the family tickets. He could only afford 3, so Sue had offered to drive herself to Grandma's. Axl had plans with Boss Co. Sue hoped that he had fun.

Sue and Darrin had broken up around the end of November. At that point Sue had known Axl was the only person she really wanted. Her and Darrin parted on good terms, and she'd always consider him a friend.

Frankie, Mike, and Brick had been dropped off at the airport, and Sue was headed back home to pack and get ready for the drive. Sue was surprised to see Axl in the driveway when she got home. "What are you doing here?" She asked as she got out of the car.

"I was temporarily suspended from my duties at Boss Co. So I'm gonna come with you to Grandma's."

"Okay." Sue headed towards the house. "I'm gonna pack and grab the gas money and then we can go."

Axl followed slowly behind her. "Okay."

Sue assumed he'd grab something to eat from the kitchen, but instead he followed her into her room. Sue thought he might try to kiss her, but instead he just laid on her bed. Sue started packing. She realized that Axl was watching her.

When she finished, she turned her attention towards him. He had moved and was sitting on her bed now. She moved and sat on the bed near him. "Can I kiss you?" He asked. Sue nodded her head. Axl moved and sat himself next to her.

Axl pushed some of her hair away from her face and cupped her cheek with one hand. He leaned towards her and pressed their lips together. It only lasted a few seconds before he pulled away. "We should get going."

"Okay." Sue replied and hoped that she didn't sound too disappointed.

They got to Grandma's and learned that there was apparently a lot more going on this Christmas then they knew about. Grandpa had decided to go to Florida even though Grandma didn't want to. Mike, Frankie, and Brick had also unknowingly ended up there with him. Sue and Axl had talked with them on the phone, and they promised that they would try to get there by Christmas Day. That was only 2 days away, but Sue was sure the rest of the family would make it there.

For the time being, the rest of the family's absence meant that Sue and Axl had a whole room to themselves. Sue helped Grandma with dinner and did the dishes. Axl decided to go back to the room, but Sue decided to stay out with Grandma. The older woman was pretty mad about what her husband did and she let Sue share a bottle of wine with her while she complained about it.

About two hours later Grandma decided to head to bed. Sue decided to take a shower to clear her head. She didn't think she was that drunk, but just in case, she hoped that the shower would help.

Twenty minutes later she was headed into the bedroom she was sharing with Axl. He yelped and threw a pillow at her. "Why didn't you knock?!" He sputtered angrily.

"Why do you care?" She threw her dirty clothes on the ground. "Were you doing something you weren't supposed to?"

"Pft." Sue's back was towards Axl, but she could tell he was rolling his eyes. "I wasn't doing anything."

"Sure you weren't." She smirked. After digging through her suitcase, she found the pair of underwear she was looking for. She dropped her towel and pulled the underwear on. Then she walked over towards the bed.

"Sue! Put some clothes on!" Axl actually sounded scandalized.

Sue turned towards her suitcase, but then instead walked over to the door and made sure it was locked. She turned back towards Axl. "That's rich coming from you." She said before moving towards him. "You never wear anything besides your boxers when you're at home. It's very distracting."

Axl sat up and turned on the lamp on the bedside table. It was more light then Sue wanted. She was fine if it was dark, but she didn't want Axl looking critically at her and judging her body. She frowned. Axl seemed to pick up on this. He grinned a familiar cocky grin. "You always get to see me in my underwear, I think it's only fair I get to see you."

Sue tried to collect herself. Kicking It Teen Style . Com always said that confidence was the most attractive trait. She put her hands on her hips and tried to look seductive. "Do you like what you see?"

Axl grinned and rolled his eyes. "Get over here dork."

"Tell me I'm pretty first."

"You're the prettiest girl in this house. Now get over here."

"That's not even a compliment, the only other girl here is Grandma."

Axl grumbled. "Ugh, c'mon loser, I didn't have to say anything nice last time."

"But I wanna feel special Axl." Sue slurred his name a bit.

"Wait a second. Are you drunk?"

"Pft, no!" She rolled her eyes. "I'm a little tipsy. I only had two small glasses of wine. Grandma had the rest of the bottle. Now c'mon, make me want it."

Axl almost looked offended. "I'm the Ax-man Sue. No one can resist my charm. Now c'mon." He whined.

"Yeah well I'm Lady Sue and I wanna be wooed."

Axl scratched the back of his neck. "Look, you're standing there with nothing but your panties on. It's kind of hard to think of something good to say when I'm so distracted by you."

Sue hopped on the bed. "Good enough. Let's make out."

Axl seemed relieved. He started to lean towards her, but Sue stopped him. "Wait, I wanna try something different." Sue crawled towards him and then situated herself on his lap. Her ass was resting on his thighs. There was nothing between them except Axl's boxers and Sue's underwear. Sue made sure she was comfortable and then she wrapped her arms around Axl's neck and kissed him.

After a few moments, Sue realized that Axl didn't seem to know what to do with his hands. His hands were on the bed, and Sue would go so far as to say that he seemed nervous. She sighed then backed away. She grabbed one of his hands and placed it on her ass. Then she grabbed his other hand.

Straddling him, she was actually taller. She placed his hand on her breast, and Axl snapped his head up to look at her. His lips were swollen. His eyes looked more sparkly then normal. Sue was suddenly glad for the light being on.

"Sue…" Axl's voice was soft. His hand seemed to be completely still.

Sue put her hand back over Axl's. "I want you to." She said. Sue leaned into kiss and used her hand to get him to squeeze her boob. That seemed to finally get him to get with the program. He ended up bringing both hands to her chest and giving them a lot of attention.

Eventually he pulled away from kissing her to bring his mouth down to her breasts. While he was probably giving her hickies on her chest, she ran her fingers through his hair. It was soft to touch. She played with his curls.

This went on for awhile before Axl finally looked back up at her. "I wanna do something." His voice was rough and it sort of turned Sue on.

"Then do it." Sue grinned.

Axl kissed her hard and she was surprised. They were already kissing, but this was a little more rough. Then all of a sudden, Axl's hands were grabbing her ass.

Axl pulled her closer against him. Sue's thighs were against the side's of Axl's torso. But she was a little more interested in how their crotches were aligned. Axl wrapped a hand around the back of her neck and pushed their mouths together. Soon they were moving. Axl would thrust up against her and Sue would grind down on him.

Way too soon, Axl was grabbing her hips in what felt like a death grip and pulled her down on his crotch. He broke the kiss and groaned against her mouth. Then he practically threw Sue off of him.

"I gotta do something in the bathroom." He hopped off the bed and grabbed Sue's towel from the floor. "I'll be right back." He unlocked the door and rushed out.

Sue got up and rummaged through her suitcase for a sleep shirt. She pulled it on and got back into bed. Sue smirked. She was pretty sure she just got Axl off in just a few minutes. She was pretty pleased with herself. And even though Axl said he'd be right back, it seemed like he was taking awhile. So Sue fell asleep.

The next day was Christmas Eve. Sue and Axl both slept in. Grandma didn't knock on the door until around 11. There was a scramble to untangle themselves, and Sue managed to get free fastest. She rushed to the door and opened it.

"Good morning!" Sue grinned. Grandma did not look like she was having a good morning. Sue made it her mission to make the day better for grandma. Sue spent most of the day with her, while she noticed Axl spent most of the day watching TV on the couch.

The small group went out for dinner, but ended up just going through a drive thru because Grandma didn't want her friends asking her where Grandpa was. They brought the food home and ate while watching TV. Afterwards, Sue and Axl were wrangled into helping wrap presents. Axl only agreed to do Sue's so she wouldn't know what she was getting, and though it was something small, Sue still thought it was incredibly sweet.

Grandma decided to go to sleep around 10, and Axl and Sue were left watching TV on the couch. Once they heard Grandma's door close, Axl tackled Sue. His lips found hers and they were kissing.

Sue maneuvered herself so she was straddling Axl. He was starting to snake his hand up her shirt when they heard the sound of the front door opening.

"We got here early!" Frankie called out, and Axl pushed Sue off of him and threw her off the couch.

"Ow! Axl! You jerk!"

"Deal with it nerd! I'm not sharing the couch and I'm not sharing the TV."

"Mom!" Sue whined.

Frankie sighed setting down a suitcase. Brick was behind her with his nose in a book. "I haven't even been here a full minute and you guys are already fighting!" Frankie frowned. "You know, I've had one of the worst Christmases ever and you're not making it any better. Why can't you two just get along?"

The noise must have woken Grandma, because she seemed to appear out of nowhere. "You know Frankie, the two have been pretty cordial too each other the whole time we've been waiting for you."

"Are you trying to blame this on me?" Frankie whined.

Sue sighed. She wasn't sure if she had wanted everything to go back to normal this quickly.
