Dare or Dare? | COMPLETED

Thirty Seven - Christmas Shopping

I blinked my eyes at her in shock and grabbed my bags. What great social cues, ma'am.

Next stop, Nike. While I was doing some heavy-researching, I found a cute gift idea. It was a pair of shoes with the tag "I'M SO GLAD I RAN INTO YOU".

I chewed my lip, completely acknowledging the fact that this is going over my budget but the gift was so adorable and worth it – I had to! What do you expect me to do? Ignore it? Puh-lease!

If people were this crazy for Christmas gifts, I'm so glad I didn't go Black Friday shopping. That would leave me without any faith in humanity. And trust me, what I have left is very, very little.

After wrapping every single gift item, I collapsed onto my bed and shut my eyes. That was – a lot. Usually it would just be Autumn, Ivy and my parents but ever since a certain-someone came into my life, everything went upside down.

Or maybe I was upside down and he just made everything right.

Wow, how smooth am I?

My dad came knocking on my door, and before I could say "come in" he already burst through the door with one of his grins. "You know whose coming tomorrow?" He hopped from one side to another.

"Let me guess, the love of your life," I said with a slightly amused tone.

He nodded his head proudly and bounced downstairs, probably counting down the minutes until he could go embrace his beloved wife into a hug. Their relationship reminds me of puppy love.

I was created because of puppy love – alright. Totally not a reference to a song or anything.

"Oh Jade," a familiar voice sung. My eyes shot open and my body jerked up, stumbling into the person and falling onto the carpet.

"Crap!" I cried and rubbed my eyes to get a good look at the person. "What are you doing in my room at like seven in the morning?"

Conner groaned and opened his eyes with a smug smirk. "Nice hair, Sleeping Beauty." I rolled my eyes at him and got off of him. He propped himself off the floor and spun around in my chair.

"Don't know if your parents taught you this, but it's not exactly manners to break into someone's house," he snorted. "Puh-lease, Jade. We all know you're the Queen at breaking into peoples homes."

"I guess that'll make you the princess of breaking in," I stuck my tongue out at him, knowing very-well that he was trying to get me to call him the King.

"Why can't I be the King?" He pouted, stopping the chair from spinning around any further.

"Oh I'm sorry, you just look like a girl."

"Oh I'm sorry," he mocked me. "It's twenty-seventeen! You can't just assume peoples' gender like that!" He cried, now mocking nearly everyone on the internet.

I rolled my eyes at him, yet again and let my hands dangle on my sides. "Seriously, what are you doing?"

"Go ask your mom and dad that," he retorted and starting to spin around.

"The Petersons' are spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with us," my mom sipped her coffee with a smug smirk hiding behind that mug. "If I were you, I'd make sure to walk the halls with Conner." She winked.

It took me a bit to realize what she meant.

The mistletoe.

This should be just dandy.
