A/N: I know, I know. I shouldn't be here

My finals are in ten days

I got to be updating my other stories

But I just couldn't resist. Tehehe. So in the honor of Christmas I am reading a Christmas carol starting from tomorrow because there are five chapters so a chapter per. day and also I want to dedicate this chapter for Christmas.

*Line Break*

Jack landed and although he hated it he let go of Sophie.

"I really enjoyed my night Jack." Sophie said while putting her hands in her pocket.

"It was nothing. I'm just glad we did this." Jack said putting his hands in his hoodie.

"Maybe we can do this again some time?" Sophie asked shyly.

Jack smiled at her a very cheeky smile. "Of course," He said happily but happy could not describe it enough. He wanted to fly and scream as loud as he can. Something was tickling him. Was that what butterflies meant? That sensation of little fingers tickling you from inside? Well, he doesn't mind that feeling at all.

Jack took a step closer and slowly their lips had met for the second time this day. Her lips were so soft. Unlike his it was pink and soft as a Rose peddle. His were just cracked and pale blue yet she doesn't complain, she doesn't pull back, she makes him feel loved.

Not that the guardians didn't do that but Sophie was just something else. She didn't make him feel loved, she made him feel Wanted. And there is a huge difference between those two. The way she kissed him made him feel like she needed him like mortals needed oxygen. Well she was the same thing to him. He felt this attraction to her. He had seen allot of darkness all his 300 years but she was like light that leads him to the way out of this tunnel he feels like he is trapped in.

The kiss lasted long. His tongue slowly traced her lip line.

Cinnamon.

She tasted like cinnamon. Sweet.

Unlike him, his lips tasted like blood from all the biting, pale from the cold and cold because of his nature.

He could once again stay like that till eternity but he has to pull away unless she will suffocate. He hated doing this but he pulled away.

Her green eyes stared up at his. She smiled. "I like this," she said and he chuckled.

"I like you," he replied and she smiled and blushed shyly. "Too cheesy, huh?"

"Cheesy? You're a big cheese ball!" She shot back and they both had a fit of laughter.

"See you soon?" She asked and he smiled once again

"Bet your bottom dollar on it."

"See you, frostbite,"

"See you, Shoph"

*Line break*

Jack went back to the North Pole entering through a window and was about to make his way to the kitchen when North's not so jolly voice called for him.

"Jack, please join us." North commanded more than requested. Jack had a strange feeling that he was in trouble but he ignored it and went to North.

There he found Bunny, Sandy, Snow and Tooth all gathered and sitting around the fire.

"Am I in trouble?" Jack asked raising an eye brow and leaning on his staff a little.

"Trouble? Oh no mate, YERE OUT OF YERE FREAKIN MIND!" Bunny raised his voice and started closing distance between him and the frost teen.

"Jack, please take a seat," North again commanded. Jack was curious in what exactly did he do to get them all pissed off.

"Jack, we saw you with Sophie tonight," North started

"You were spying on me?" Jack sounded offended that they stalked him. Jack cared for his privacy very much and telling him that a group was stalking him did not please him one bit.

"Not the point. The point is that you actually kissed her, kissing is a sign of affection and immortals and mortals don't do that. We don't date, Jack. Specifically mortals" Tooth was the one to talk this time.

"And the reason is?" Jack wasn't letting Sophie go that easily she made him feel this weird feeling and he wants to know what it is.

"She's A MORTAL!" Bunny pointed out.

"We don't go out with mortals, Jack. Zis is just like what happened to Jamie!" North said and immediately covered his mouth. All the guardians sent him death glares as he just spilled out their secret.

"You knew about Jamie?! Why didn't you tell me?" Jack got angry, his face starting to turn dark purple.

"Zis is not point. Point is you can't date Sophie." North changed the subject immediately.

"No, you don't understand. She's different!" Jack said not liking the idea of dumping her that fast.

"Yeah? What's so different 'bout her?" Bunny asked pointing his boomerang towards Jack.

Jack looked at his hands as if he was remembering something and smiled. "When we were crossing the street, she held my hand. I am a spirit, a ghost. I provide no sort of protection. Yet she makes me feel…." He searched for a word that could fit. "Alive" He smiled proudly happy he found the word that expressed his feelings.

They were all speechless, although they still didn't approve, Jack's words –unlike his name- melted their hearts. They knew what it felt like to not be able to live like mortals and for that they shall leave him be, for now.

North sighed and then looked back up at Jack then debated what he was about to do for a moment "Fine, from what you say it sounds like Sophie grown to be a nice young woman, no? On Christmas day we shall invite her to dinner, okay?"

Clumsy, I know. Please try to bare with me just until finals end. My last update for a while but I'll try to make a Christmas chapter.

PS: (TO CATHY AND ONLY CATHY)

Cathy, the word I got mixed up with scarlet is sacred by the way.
