The snow has stopped, but the world outside is still freezing. Cristina lounges in front of the fire, her Stanford track pants keeping her warm she takes a sip of tea as she continues resisting the urge to call Alex and demand him to make her a hot chocolate.
"God I don't understand how shop assistants and the mall peoples ears don't bleed due to the relentless assault on their ears via Christmas carols." Cristina whines, she doesn't care that's she mentioned the music thing a hundred times already, because Jackson seems to love Christmas music, which means for the last week it has been Christmas music for every waking moment they were home together.
"It's all part of Christmas." Jackson answers, ignoring the pointed glare Cristina shoots his way as he turns the volume on Snoopy's Christmas cd up higher. Cristina couldn't care less about the bloody red baron, but she can't ignore how cute Jackson looks as he sings along and sort of dances, forgetting to be self-conscious as he shakes his hips just a little along with the tune.
Cristina places her empty cup on the floor beside her and glances over to Jackson who is busy checking his emails. "What wanting to smash the speaker system?" Cristina asks, barely concealing her grin.
Jackson sighs, his gaze flickers from his phone to Cristina before he locks his phone, drops it on the couch beside him and seconds later is extending his arm out to Cristina as he grins, "Dance with me."
Cristina shakes her head but Jackson frowns and gives her his best puppy dog look, and whether she's willing to admit it or not, she simply can't say no to that face. Her fingers link with his and suddenly she is on her feet, and the music is louder, and Jackson's arm is wrapping around her waist and pulling her body close to hers.
"I can't dance." Cristina says. She can drunk dance with Mere, she can give a good strip dance, but slow dancing, with one hand clasping Jackson's the other on his shoulder, she has no idea how to do that.
Jackson smiles softly and kisses her forehead before he motions for her to twirl, "I'll teach you."
"You can't dance either." Cristina scoffs, even though she knows he can. He's an Avery, it's practically expected of him.
Letting go of Cristina he takes a step back and attempts to do something similar to a dance move, Cristina grins and Jackson starts to crump as he replies, "Then we can suck together."
"Maybe later." Cristina smirks. Jackson's lips fall apart and he goes to something but the next song starts up and all thoughts vanish as he grins and starts dancing again, grinning at her and looking like a complete idiot.
