MUMUS: This Gift
Doing all my updating early cause I'm heading to my mom's side of the family to celebrate Christmas tonight then I'll be with my dad's family tomorrow. I can't wait to hold my little cousin, he's so precious.
P.S. I finished writing this the day before the big snowstorm hit back East.
Couple: Ryan & Taylor
Rating: M
Setting/Event: Blizzard on East Coast makes it impossible for Ryan and Taylor to go home for the holidays
Random Stuff:
- candles
- top romen noodles for Christmas dinner
The snow that covered the city below was still falling.
“This is crazy,” Taylor muttered as she looked out the window of the New York City apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Ryan. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much snow.”
“It’s almost a shame we’re leaving tomorrow morning,” Ryan said, wrapping his arms around her waist. “I can’t think of anything more romantic than the city covered in snow.”
“It would be lovely,” Taylor agreed. “But I’m really looking forward to going home for a couple days.”
“Maybe the snow will wait for us.”
“Hopefully, but I know the plane won’t tomorrow,” she said. “We need to finish packing and go to bed. The next few days are going to be long.”
*************************************
The snow is falling, the city is white
Your eyes are shining like diamonds tonight
And we're all alone, there's no one home
You're fin'lly in my arms again
*************************************
Finished with his packing, Ryan zipped up his suitcase and set it on the floor then walked over to the window. For the day before Christmas Eve, the streets around their apartment building were practically deserted save for one or two brave souls.
As he stood there, a red Santa hat was thrown in his direction. He bent down to pick it up then turned to throw it back at Taylor, but froze when he saw her leaning against one of the posts of their four-post bed, dressed in a red, silk push-up bra and a red, silk short skirt with a fluffy white hem.
“I thought we could do a little early celebrating,” she said with a smile. “Since I’ll be at my parents and you’ll be at yours.”
Ryan smiled and put the Santa hat on before walking over to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss.
*************************************
The night is silent, the moment is here
I couldn't ask for more than having you near
'Cause I love you, girl, and I always will
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right
*************************************
Sweat glistened on their bodies as his manhood moved in and out of her sex. He leaned down and kissed her swollen lips, pausing his motions, trying to make it last as long as they could.
“I wanna be on top,” she whispered as he kissed down her neck.
They switched positions and she slid down onto his manhood as he leaned against the headboard of their bed. He lovingly fondled her body as she brought them closer to their releases. He came first and she followed a couple seconds later.
Exhausted, she climbed off of him and collapsed onto the bed by his side. He pulled the blankets over their naked bodies and wrapped his arm around her waist.
*************************************
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give
*************************************
“All flights out of the city and surrounding areas have been canceled due to blizzard-like conditions that are expected to get worse before they get better,” a TV meteorologist reported. “We’re not looking at a change in weather for a couple of days and state officials are urging people to stay put until things clear up.”
“So much for going home for Christmas,” Taylor muttered as she turned off the TV. “Guess I should call my mom and tell her we won’t make it.”
“Good idea,” Ryan nodded. “We don’t have much here, so I’m going to run to the corner market and get some groceries.”
After he left, Taylor called her mom and broke the news to her.
“We’ll be fine,” she promised her mom. “We have candles and we have a gas heater and appliances.”
*************************************
I thought I'd give you something shiny and new
I tried to find something worthy of you
But I realized when I looked inside
There's some things that money can't buy
Oh, no
*************************************
Ryan returned a while later with a single bag of groceries.
“There wasn’t much left at the market,” he told Taylor as set the bag on the counter by the refrigerator. “I got the last carton of milk, six eggs, a loaf of bread, a pack of lunch meat and some top romen.”
“At least it’s something,” Taylor said as she opened the fridge. “And I think we have some frozen chicken breasts in the freezer. And soup in the cupboard, so we won’t starve.”
“This will definitely be interesting,” Ryan stated. “On our own for Christmas.”
“Yeah,” Taylor nodded, forcing a smile on her face.
“We’ll be fine,” he assured her. “We’ll be together; we don’t even have to get out of bed on Christmas. We can be naked in bed all day and not have to worry about what anybody else thinks.”
“Why will be naked?” She laughed.
“Do I really have to answer that?” He asked. She nodded. “Because we’re each others presents and you can’t play with your presents if they’re wrapped.”
She laughed and leaned over to kiss him.
*************************************
I feel the magic whenever you're near
I feel it even on this time of the year
'Cause I love you, girl, I always will
And now I know the moment is right
The moment is right
*************************************
They woke up to more snow on Christmas Eve and the news that it would be unlikely for them to be able to leave the city in the next day or two.
In an attempt to create the holiday cheer, Taylor created a holiday playlist then plugged her iPod into the stereo. They spent their day on the couch in front of the fire, him reading books from his “to read” pile and her working on her thesis.
Shortly before dusk, the power went out, leaving them in an apartment only lit by the glow of her laptop screen and the fire. They used her laptop as a flashlight to pull out candles then shut it down after the candles were lit.
They had sandwiches for dinner then put what was in their fridge and freezer outside on their stoop.
With no way to charge their phones, they turned off his then called each of their families to wish them a Merry Christmas then they went into their room and got into bed.
*************************************
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you
All my heart can give
*************************************
Taylor woke up Christmas morning to the feeling of the bed shifting. She rolled over and saw Ryan struggling with something.
“What are you doing?” She asked him.
“Naked Christmas in bed, remember?” He grinned pulling his boxers from under the covers.
“You’re crazy,” she laughed then squealed when she felt his hands reach under the covers and tug at her nightshirt. “Ryan.”
“Taylor,” he mimicked as he climbed on top of her.
They gazed lovingly into each others eyes for several still minutes before he felt her hands move under their down comforter and caress his thighs. After her hands brushed against his manhood, he leaned down and captured her lips in a kiss.
*************************************
You know I'll always be true to you
And you know I'm the one you can turn to
Oh, yeah
Anytime, anyplace, or anywhere
You know that I'll always be there
Oh, baby
*************************************
It was a phone call from her mom with the news that the worst of the storm was over and the growingly of their stomachs that pulled them from their bed around noon.
Dressed only in their bathrobes, they went into the kitchen and fixed top romen and grilled cheese sandwiches for their Christmas dinner then settled in front of the fire to eat.
Once they were done eating, Ryan offered to do the dishes, so Taylor stretched out on the floor in front of the fire place.
“Close your eyes,” Ryan instructed as he came her way.
After sitting up, Taylor did what she was told and grew nervous when she felt him reach for her left hand. Her eyes shot open when she felt cold metal sliding down her ring finger and her jaw dropped when she saw the small diamond ring reach the base of her finger.
“I want to marry you, Taylor,” he said. “I want to make you my wife.”
“I want to marry you, too,” she replied, blinking back her tears. She pulled him towards her and kissed him.
He lowered her to a lying position and made love to her.
*************************************
'Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight
I'm down on my knees, there's no better time
It's something to last for as long as you live
Tonight, I'm gonna give you

*************************************
A couple days later, Ryan and Taylor walked through security at the Albuquerque airport and smiled when they saw their families. They quickly made their ways to them and greeted everyone with hugs.
They held hands as their families led them to their respective cars and with a kiss goodbye, Ryan and Taylor headed off with their parents.
As she sat in the backseat of her parents’ car, Taylor thought of the diamond ring that sat at the bottom of her suitcase in its black velvet box. No one else knew of the engagement and they wouldn’t for another day, when both of their families came together to celebrate the Christmas she and Ryan had missed.
