CHAPTER ONE

Nina's POV

I walked downstairs to the common room really early in the morning. It was winter break and only Jerome and I had stayed at the house. Well alone with Trudy but she wasn't there today because she was going to spend it with her family, right as I reached the bottom of the stairs I noticed it was 11:58 on Christmas eve.

I walked to the common room and noticed a figure sitting on the couch holding his legs in front of him looking at the clock.

"Jerome? Is everything alright?" I said walking closer to him slowly.

"five, four, three, two, one. Merry Christmas Nina" he said looking up

"oh, er thanks, you too," I said taking a seat next to him "why are you counting down to Christmas?" I asked

"it's a tradition of mine, I have done this every Christmas during boarding school. Kind of a foolish thing really but its like I have my very own family tradition even if I don't have a family," he said looking at me with a sort of a pouty expression.

I always seemed to forget about Jerome's past. Maybe it was because during the day he was always so happy and carefree whenever he would pull a prank or hit on a girl

"Would you like to celebrate with me, Jerome?" I asked him meeting his eyes

"Nina, I would love that." He took my hand and I led him to the kitchen,

we made hot chocolate and had a playful mini marshmallow fight.

After we made the hot chocolate we sat on the couch snuggling and talking.

We must have fallen asleep because I woke up in Jerome's arms with the sun streaming in threw a crack made in the curtains

I looked at the clock and saw it was already one in the afternoon.

"Jerome, Jerome, Jerome?" I said, I had gotten this sudden hit of energy and so I began to jump on the couch to wake him

"What the bloody hell are you doing?" He asked rubbing the sleep from his eyes and sitting up straight, "Why in heavens name are you jumping?"

"Because its Christmas silly" I said as I stopped jumping and landed next to him, "so what would you like to do today?"

"I'm not sure, I've never had anyone for company before," he said with a trying to smile but not succeeding.

"well you mentioned last night that you had your own traditions as if you were in a family, So, let's play pretend, "

"What do you mean when you say pretend?"

"I mean that we can pretend that we are a family, like we are a married couple" I said blushing a bit because the idea seemed foolish coming from my mouth.

Jerome seemed happy.

"Well if you my wife I would like to try something," he said as he moved closer to me.

He moved closer so we were nose to nose. Then he kissed me, more passionate then I had ever been kissed.

I kissed back.

Five minutes later we were having a full on snogging session on the couch. He had one of his hands on my hips and the other in the small of my back and I was on top of him with my fingers in his hair.

He pulled me up and I was lost in his eyes, "Nina Martin you have no idea how much I've wanted to do this ever since that first day you came."

"Then that makes two of us," I said with a playful smile as he brought me back down to meet his lips.
