Mount Olympus [8]

Jackie

I yawn and shake my head, "Well, I'm not going," I plop on the recliner.

Nic

I watch her, still standing. I can't flunk out. Too much money was spent on this semester. I'm having a hard enough time as it is. I can't just f*ck everything up.

Jackie

I look at th ceiling, thinking.

Nic

I cross my arms before looking at my wrists and covering them up again, sitting on the arm of the recliner and sighing.

Jackie

I look back at him, "I got you a Christmas present though," I smile, taking his hand as I lead him to my dorm, "Dont tell Rayah, but I'm giving it to you early."

Nic

I smile and follow her, "I would have brought mine for you... but I was in a rush to get the nurse lady here. I'll bring it when I get back tomorrow night. Promise."

Jackie

We get to my dorm, the lights off, and I close the door behind him. I don't turn on the lights yet, smiling wide, "Ready?"

Nic

I smile and nod, squeezing her hand, "Yeah."

Jackie

I bite my lip and turn on the light. Fake snow fills the ground and a Christmas tree sits in the middle of the room. Candles fill the place and the couch is replaced with gold leather, about four boxes of chocolate stacked on a table, and eight bottles of wine next to it, "Merry Christmas!" I smile.

Nic

I smile and chuckle, looking around, "Wow, Jacks. This is amazing."

Jackie

I watch him, "And it's all ours."

Nic

I look at her, still smiling, and wrap my arms around her, "I love you."

Jackie

I wrap my arms around his neck, "Love you too."

Nic

I kiss her and close my eyes, making up for all our lost time.

Jackie

I kiss him back, smiling wider as I close my eyes as well.
