MERRY CHRISTMAS!

CHAPTER 35 - Let it snow!

'Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've bought some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!'

The Christmas songs were playing throughout the day because you know what? 

It's Christmas eve! Yay!

I love Christmas! So much fun. The festive wave in the air. I love it!

The streets were coloured with red and white. The snow covering the roads and the snowflakes falling lightly on the trees, this scene is delightful. The kids laughing and giggling with the festivity in the atmosphere, waiting for their gifts, eating tasty food and enjoying their holidays!

Ah, isn't is great? 

It is!

Bad thing that for the first time, mom and dad will not be with us. Mom had to cancel her trip to the US because of the heavy snowfall that all the flights were delayed or cancelled. And dad, he's working his ass of in Singapore. He was even crying heavily last night on the webcam because he won't be able to celebrate Christmas with us.

My dad's a drama queen. 

But I've to admit one thing that both my parents are really caring and passionate about their lives and work, and of course for their family. That's why I love them! With my heart.

But you know what got me thinking? About a guy who don't like Christmas and even don't celebrate it. He don't like the festival of joy and fun. He looked off since the day, everyone started to decorate their houses and the air was filled with happiness. He didn't feel the joy of Christmas. That guy is..

Ryan.

I tried to know the reason behind it but he won't let me know. I still wonder what's the reason behind his sad face that didn't suit him at all. He looks great when he's happy and cocky, but like this, he looks really heartbreaking. And his smile, that smile's something really special. Like finding a green plant in the deserts. It's something familiar. His smile is really beautiful and how can we forget his cute little dimples! They're to die for! 

God, I sound like a creep. 

I don't know what's happening to me? I've been thinking a lot about him. Well..I was thinging a lot about him since the day we met. The first meeting was really different as well. Whenever I am near him, II feel a familiar vibe. Like I've felt before.

Conscience : Maybe your mind is getting toxicated by him!

Me : I guess so.

Conscience : That means you LIKE him?

Me : *blushes* He's not bad.

Since the day we met, I felt different. This thing have never happended to me before. It's foreign.

I went downstair, staring at the empty living room, decorated with all the Christmas decorations. The stars, balls, bells, sparkles and more. We did a great job.

I patted my back and sat on the couch. Man, being alone on Christmas is so damn boring. It feels so lonely in this big house.

Lonelier than ever.

Suck it, I am going out.

I grabbed my white coat, red jeans and a white cap and setted my hair in a nice ponytail and we're ready to go!!

I took a quick at myself and said to myself,"My clothes looks so Christmasy. Red jeans and white coat? I am weird."

Conscience : You now you look more weird because you're talking to yourself. But who cares, you like Ryan! Yay!

Me : I don't!

Conscience : You do dear. I know everything about you!

I entered the streets which looked so fascinating. Covered with thick snow, the Christmas trees decorated with all the beautiful stuff, children running here and there (I don't know why because don't they have to be with their family and eat delicious stuff?).

Then, an idea popped in my head..

Why not make someone else happy on this day?

I am do going to do so. I'll go to Ryan's house and celebrate Christams with him, knowing that he would not be celebrating it. I can't take his sad face anymore.

"Is Ryan here?" I asked, standing on the door of the Matthews' house, smiling like a kid who wants a candy from them.

"No, he's at his apartment. But hey, you look so cute in that Jady. Nice choice." Anna exclaimed.Even she looked off today. There must be a big reason behind it then because why whould a whole family stay sad on Christ's birthday?

"His apartment? Where's that?" I asked. He lives in a apartment.

"He usually stays there. I'll write you the address." she said before going inside,"Hey, come in."

I went inside but there was no sign of happiness. It didn't seemed like it's Christmas. 

Why? Don't ask me!

"Here." she said, coming towards me with a piece of paper. I could see that she was trying her best to fake a smile.

"Thanks. If you don't mind me asking, why is your house so dull today? I mean, it's Christmas." I asked.

Suddenly, her face fell a little but she tried her best to lighten up,"You see, Christmas is not much of our festival."

What does that even mean?

"Okay, bye then." I spoke slowly.

I was walking toward the door when Anna's voice called me with a smile,"Hey Jade. I know you'll be able to make my little brother happy again. Just like always." and she went inside.

Huh? What was the meaning behind her words? 'Like always'? Like when?

I finally found Ryan's apartment but when I was about to enter in, I bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry dear." the guy I bumped into with said. He looked really good in his suit and tie. He had black hair and was really tall but with a lean figure. 

"I am sorry. I was not watching where I am going." I said.

"It's my fault. I hope you're fine." he said with a smile.

"Yes, I am. Thanks."

"Great then. Nice to meet you by the way. I am Dan." he said.

"Nice meeting you too Dan, I am Jade." I replied.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face and his eyes sparkled,"That's surely you. Whatever I've ever heard about you, that's true." and he walked away befor waving at me.

Okay, what did a complete but handsome stranger have heard about me?

This day is weird.

"Why are you here?" a familiar voice called.

I turned my head in his direction and saw a tired Ryan standing in his white t-shirt and loose jeans but those red eyes and sad face was still there.

This guy can manage to look sexy in these loose and lanky clothes as well.

It was getting harder to look at his depressed face.

"I came to  meet you." I chirped.

"Why?" he asked. I could feel the irritation in his voice that was definetely because of me.

Good job Jade.

"Because 'It's Christmas time'." I sang.

"Go home and celebrate it with your family, not with me." he said and tunred to his door.

"I don't have a family." I said.

He turned to me with narrowed eyes. I said,"No seriously, I don't have my family right now bacause they're all busy with their work and I being the most idle one is here to celebrate my precious day with you. Mister Badboy."

He left out a dry chuckle and said with crossed arms, leaning on his doorside,"Badboy?"

"Yeah, that's what people call you." I said bluntly.

"Still, go to your friends then." he said. Nooo! They're busy too! Damn, I am really very idle today!

"But you're my friend too, right?" I said softly which made him to turn a little soft. Aww, I really want to hug him right now. His hugs are really warm and soft though. It felt so nice when I hugged him. So complete. So, familiar.

I pouted at him and pulled out my puppy dog eyes. I went to him and grabbed his arm and start to pull it,"Please come with me. I am all alone."

He chuckled and then without I could know, I was pressed on the wall with Ryan facing me, really close. Not like I am complaining.

Wow! He looks even more good looking from closer.

He took a step closer with his hands on both of my side and steady eyes,"Are you that desperate to spend time with me Rasberry?"

"What? No!" I stammered.

"I know you're." he smirked. Mood swing much? A moment before, he looked so fragile and like a lost puppy that I even wanted to hug him. But now, I look more like a puppy.

He came even closer that our lips were a inch away from touching. Ahh, it's getting heated up here.

I could feel him coming even closer when we were interrupted by the sound of throat clearing.

Ryan pulled away quickly and I saw an angry old lady standing in front of us, looking angry.

"You know, kids live here too. Be decent. Go into your bedroom." she scolded.

So embarrasing!

A blush creeped on my cheeks after she said those words. I looked at Ryan who was being scolded by the lady. He had his head down, listening to her words.

I chuckled a little at how cute and adorable he looked. He looked at me and passed a death glance that made me to chuckle even more. But by my unfortunate fate, the lady now faced me.

"But you know what, you two make a cute couple." she said and smiled widely.

She begin to walk again but then said something that made me blush again,"Use protection kids."

We both looked at each other and then laughed.

"Better leave now." I said.

"Sure." he replied between his laughs.

This is going to be fun! I guess!
