Here we are again, new chapter, new happenings, let's see how thing will turn out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silence remained as Drew and May kept staring in each-others eyes.

Then suddenly a small tapping noise was heard, followed by a soft scratching.

This went by unnoticed by the two who dared neither to look nor back away.

A piano played followed by a bright trumpet.

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

Let your heart be light"

This they did hear.

Drew suddenly realized how awkward the situation really was and pushed himself away. "It seems the record-player went on"

May nodded; "Yeah"

Silence returned as they listened to the song;

"From now on our troubles will be out of sight. Out sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

May the Yuletide regain

From now on our troubles will be miles away"

May softly swayed with the music; "it's a nice song" she said. Drew silently agreed with her. It did relieve the awkward tension.

He stood up completely, and thought for a second. Unsure he took out his hand; "Can I have this dance from you?" he asked softly.

May looked as if she would laugh. Drew prayed she wouldn't. And she didn't. Instead she looked around and then at herself;

"Wouldn't it look weird?" she asked.

Drew smiled genuinely; "Probably, but nobody except us will know it, let alone see us" he said. May still hesitated. "But I don't have dress or something" she said.

Drew laughed; "You don't need a dress to dance, May" he said. Then May blushed, her options were out and she had to come clean.

"I can't dance" she admitted.

"If that's all, then I don't see a problem" Drew said. May glanced curiously and Drew shrugged. "Well, you are a coordinator, and it doesn't matter how it looks"

At this May smiled and grabbed his hand. Drew gently lifted her from the chair and walked her to the open space in the room.

She placed her hands on his upper arm as Drew placed his hand on May's lower back. The other pair of hands they held high.

"Through the years we all will be together

If the fates allow

Hang a shining star on the highest bow

And have yourself a merry Christmas now."

The trumpet played a beautiful part, and May decided to just throw away the impersonal manners and wrapped her arms around Drew's neck. He looked at her curiously but May only smiled. At this Drew also placed his other hand on her lower back and wrapped his arms so that she was closer to him.

"Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the yuletide gain.

From now on our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days.

Happy golden days of yours.

Faithful friends who are dear to us.

Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together

As the fates allow

Hang a shining star on the highest bow"

Both May and Drew recognized the end of the song as they swayed to the music. It seemed so clashing with the real world as they danced in some sort of dream.

"Hey May..."

"And have yourself a merry little Christmas..."

Drew gathered the courage he had as he pressed his lips against May's. She was shocked for a moment but then closed her eyes; savoring the moment.

"...now"

"Merry Christmas" he said as they broke away.

May giggled as she grabbed Drew even tighter, not wanting to let go. The music had died away already but they would never forget this song.

To Drew it was the best Christmas he had had in his life.

To May it didn't matter she didn't spend Christmas with her friends as she spent with it with her loved one.

Many Christmas's would come, every one of them Drew and May spent together. First as item, then as married couple. But this evening would have a special place in their hearts.

A short Christmas story as promised; please review, and make also my holiday one with Christmas cheers.

I chose the 'Have yourself a merry little christmas' version from Bobby Eakes. I really love that version. I know it's on You tube, because I'm the one who put it there

Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
