Happy Holidays!

You know how they say beauty is pain? Yeah.... Totally true. My sister pretty much yanked out half of my hair in order to fix it. T.T But anyway, I wanted to get this post in before my family leaves for the Christmas party we're meant to go to tonight. So.... I wrote something in celebration for the upcoming holidays. It features characters from my original story, but no need to read that story in order to understand. It's really quite random; hope you enjoy and as I said... Happy Holidays!


Luke Penn stared at the wrapped box in front of him. His gaze moved from that to the person holding it, his girlfriend, Nea Montgomery. "What's that?" he asked sharply, a little put off.

Nea rolled her eyes, pushing the box towards him, "Isn't it obvious? A gift. Just take it already."

Luke didn't make one single move to take said box and just kept staring, "You got me a gift?"

With a sigh, and feeling a bit embarrassed, she pulled it away. "If you don't want it. Then just say so. God, why are you always so freaking difficult?" she snapped.

Shaking his head, he made a move now. "Wait-wait-wait. Don't take that away!" he exclaimed. He pressed against her, trying to snatch the box from her hand.

She kept it away, pulling it away from his reach as best she could. Nea was backing slowly up against the wall of her living room, trying to step away from him. "What does it matter?" she asked, grinning at her.

Luke still struggled to grab it. "I was just stunned! It's rare for you to display such expressions of emotion!" he exclaimed, still fighting.

Soon, they were against the wall, and Luke almost felt like taking advantage of the situation. "It's Christmas! What do you expect?" she argued, the box squarely against her back with her hands securing it there.

Trying to pretend he didn't care anymore, he leant in to give her a kiss. "'Kay..." he whispered against her lips.

She loosened her grip on the box, seeming not to realize what he was doing to her. Snatching the box from her hands, Luke started to tear it open. With a sigh and a small grin, Nea shook her head, watching for his reaction. As soon as he held it open, he stared at the present in the box.

"You... You got me a tie?!" he asked increduously. The stunned look in his eyes amused Nea to no end.

"Well, your mom said you needed it, so I thought it'd be best," Nea explained simply, her brown eyes twinkling in amusement.

He stared at her for a long minute before Nea burst into laughter. "Wha?" he started.

"Oh... The look on your face. That was priceless," she said in sheer pleasure. Going towards a closet, she grabbed a large wrapped container and pulled it out. "This is your real gift."

Suddenly, the look on Luke's face shone, "I knew there was a trick here! You're such a sly one." Snatching the present from her, Nea watched as Luke took out the guitar she had bought along with Anna Penn, his younger sister. The glee absorbed him and he nearly tackled her to the ground. "Thank you so much!"

Nea smiled at him before leaning over to give him a small kiss. "Merry Christmas," she whispered.

With a smile, Luke returned, "Merry Christmas."

Happy Holidays again!
