GEMMA'S POV: I got a little tipsy, I hadn't realized the eggnog I was drinking out of was spiked and not for the kids. I was kind of leaning into Avery and he was enjoying my giggles over whatever he said. It was a splash of cold water when someone asked if I was even legal enough to drink. I kind of knew who it was but wasn't sure if it was Sienna or Tara. They looked alike when my head was fuzzy. "She's a bartender, if she wasn't legal, she wouldn't be allowed to pour drinks." I heard Marcus' loud voice and then realized that it was only loud because he was just behind Avery and me. "I've been pouring drinks since I was 16." I looked at her again, I knew I was bright red from being the subject of their entire run around. "So how old are you?" "Tara leave the girl alone." I heard almost the exact same voice and that was when I noticed Sienna standing up from the kitchen table. I licked my lips and ended up biting my bottom one as it seemed to keep going. Some kind of tension to the two now glaring at each other. "We should go outside." I heard Avery whisper in my ear as I watched the two sister’s kind of stare each other down and use their library voices. "Cold air should do her some good." I heard Marcus and moved my head to see him looking at us, well me. We were going before I could really keep my feet under me. I walked down the stairs with him, and he pulled me in close to keep us mostly warm. "How are you feeling? Still giggly?" He asked and I smiled and nodded a bit. "It's good though. I've never really got to drink when I became legal. I guess I am considered a lightweight." I shrugged and looked around. I had seen some of the decorations out front but now that we were out here it was kind of beautiful. "I really like all the lights." I told him after a moment, and he hummed. "Yeah. I think I told you, my sister likes to go all out." He rubbed my back and I looked over the little reindeers, the Santa and Rudolph. "She started doing the yard decorations when we were stationed in a good house on the east coast. She loved the snow." "Not you?" I asked and he looked down at me. "I always preferred rain to snow. Snow was freezing, and I loved to get away from the house a lot." He told me and started to rub my back, getting lower and lower as he told me about a crazy time where he stood up on his motorcycle and almost broke his neck. I had my hands around his back, as he rubbed, I rubbed back, higher and wider. I enjoyed hearing about his crazy high school years. He had a lot of fun; I was kind of boring in high school. I hid bruises and worked around a part time job. "You're all kinds of cute when you talk about having fun. Do any of those things lately?" I asked and leaned back, making sure he could see my face in all the bright lights. "Well... my favorite thing to do lately is get off work, teach this smoking hot lady how to drive, and cuddle on her couch." He told me and I giggled before rolling my eyes. "And that is fun to you?" "It is for me, but if you want more fun I am sure I can take you on my bike, ride 100 miles per hour on the highway and let go of the steering wheel and let you do that whole Knight and Day thing." I wasn't sure what that meant but I shook my head anyway. "How are you feeling now?" "I'm good, just was getting a little embarrassed about being the center of attention." I told him and he seemed to understand what I was saying. "Wanna stay out here a little longer, or go back inside to warm up?" He asked and I just raised my hands, grabbing his chin and then getting on my tippy toes to give him a kiss. He hummed and leaned down so I didn't have to stretch so far. He pulled away for a second and then grabbed my hand to pull me after him. We got to the garage door, and he put me in front of him before he leaned down, arms against the door behind me and I kept my hands at his side as he started to kiss me again. I hummed again, enjoying the way his nose hit my own, his lips were warm and soft, and I was in heaven. I felt his hands touch my hair and while I wasn't too happy that my curls were all messed up, I was happy to feel him touch me. We kissed until we heard someone come out of the front door and then we were caught. "What are you doing keeping that girl out here in the cold?" I saw Noelle and I wiped my nose to warm it up. "Yeah do the decent thing and find an empty room inside." Ryan called out and I blushed hard again. "Ryan." Noelle slapped his shoulder. "It's fine." I called out and looked up at Avery as he focused on me. "It was nice meeting you Gemma, I hope you can come for Christmas." Noelle waved at me and I smiled wide and waved back. "See you." Ryan waved and I rolled my lips in and waited for them to drive off before Avery pulled me in close again. "Inside?" He asked and I nodded sadly. I haven't had a make out session since high school. I went with him to the other side of the yard and back into the house with him without much observation. I made sure to drink water and to nibble on other snacks. When it got time to leave, I collected my sister, we said goodbye and her and Cami shared a long tight hug. At least they got along. Avery came in, it was close to 9 so I made sure that Monica was ready for bed. I brushed out her hair, make sure that it was braided nicely for in the morning, and her teeth were clean. I put her to bed and gave her a kiss before asking her the question we needed in private. "We were invited to a party and dinner for Christmas with the same people? Would you want to go instead of me making everything?" "Do I get to play with Cami again?" She asked and I nodded. "Then yes please. She's fun." She told me and I smiled. "Good. We'll make a pie to bring to the party too." I told her knowing she liked an apple caramel pie I've been making for the past 4 years. "Ok. I bet Cami is going to like it, she says that she likes sweets." She told me and I smiled and pushed at her little hair pieces before going right to the door. "I'll be up for a little while with Avery if you need anything." I told her and she nodded before closing her eyes before I closed her door. Walking into the living room I saw Avery with his shoes off and a smile on his face as he looked at me. "Did I tell you that you were stunning tonight?" He asked and looked towards my legs before up and at my face. "You didn't, I don't think, but thank you." I told him and moved to sit next to him, and he immediately grabbed my legs and put them on his lap. "Tonight, was fun. So much so that Monica would very much like to go to the Christmas party at the club house." "Oh really?" He asked and I nodded. His hands started to glide up and down my legs, putting pressure on them like he was massaging them. "Guess you could say she really likes Cami." I told him and he smiled. "That's good. Maybe a play date will happen, and I will be able to take you out on a proper date." I smiled, liking the sound of that. "Maybe, we can wait until after the new year." I suggested and he nodded slowly, leaning down, and kissing me. We barely had the tv on before we took our make out session to the bedroom. AVERY'S POV: "You change and I will go and get my bag from my car." I gave her one last kiss, leaving her in the doorway of her room and headed for the front door. I was quick, and I got to the bathroom to change when I was back inside. I brushed my teeth, made sure none of my spit got on my tank top, and headed right to her bedroom that was open. I walked in and saw her in a little tank top and shorts. I leaned in the doorway as she seemed to lay out her clothes for tomorrow. "Ready?" I asked and she jumped before turning to look at me. "You're quiet, and sneaky." She told me but I watched her a little more carefully. She seemed worried. "Well your sister is sleeping." I whispered to her and she nodded slowly before coming closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her little waist and got her up and in my arms before moving in to kiss her until she was like a pliant puppy in my arms. I got her on the bed, me above her, and l grabbed her hips and moved her up a little more until she was on her pillow. "I don't think I have made out this much in years." She whispered against my lips and I smiled against her lips. Somehow knowing she was out of practice, was a huge f*****g turn on. Hell, it made me wonder how far she got with a guy. "What else have you done besides making out?" I asked and she leaned back, turning to lay on her side and facing me. I mirrored her, making sure she knew I wasn't judging her or making her talk about this if she wasn't comfortable. "Well I am a virgin, get that out of the way." She gulped and her eyes darted down before she slowly looked up and into mine. "Get it out of the way?" I asked wondering why she chose those words. It wasn't anything to be ashamed of, especially when she was still kind of young. "I told someone I was dating at 21, and they said something along the lines of it being a little embarrassing." She told me and I knew right then and there that he was a dumbass for even attempting to make fun of her for that. "It's not embarrassing, you know, that right?" I asked knowing that I regretted my first time about 20 minutes after it was over. "Kind of." She blushed and I just raised my hand to skim her cheek. "You lose it when you want to. You give it up to someone you really want to. If it’s a religious thing... wait until marriage." I suggested and she smiled softly before shaking her head. "Not religious. Just never thought about giving it to my high school boyfriend. And after I was taking care of Monnie and I had three jobs. I only had dates when it came to after working and it wasn't really date, it was more like hang out where I bought my own food and we talked while we ate." She said and I got a little irritated about that. If I were going to take her on a date we would sit down, eat, flirt, and I would pay. "Well, now that those jobs are cut down to two, we might be able to actually date." I told her and she smiled and leaned on her pillows before pushing her hair out of her face. She was damn cute. "Going to bring me flowers and chocolates?" She giggled and I wondered if she was still slightly tipsy. Even if she wasn't tipsy, I knew tonight I was not the night we were going to do anything more than cuddle and kiss. Maybe for a while yet. Until she was comfortable and in love with me or something along those lines. I pulled her in tight and gave her a kiss goodnight before making her curl into me. I was almost asleep when I felt her hands touch my tags. I almost pulled them away from her fingers, but I relaxed and let her rest her hand on me before she had a long sigh, her breathing deepened, and I knew she was asleep. I turned into her, my head resting against her hair and breathing in her scent until I was fast asleep. I dreamed of nothing, a blissful darkness and even slept through the night. She was still curled around me in the morning, and I pulled away from her, letting her sleep in, and I got dressed, leaving her a note saying I had to go to the bar and then pick up a couple last minute gifts. I walked out of the house, quietly, quickly, and I headed out, wondering slightly if I should pick something up for my girl, and her little sister when I came back to take her for her test.
