His Light (Perryfield Series - Novel 1)

Chapter 14 - Christmas With The Ledger's

Penelope's POV

It has been a couple of weeks since we had the Halloween party at my house. We had had a couple of snowfalls throughout the month of November. By the end of the month it had finally sticked and a nice blanket of snow had form into our town. We had snow hills where children could go sliding. We also had some skating rinks where we had went a couple of times with the boys already. It had been a beautiful November so far. I was really hoping for an even better December.

It was the first Sunday of December and Liam had slept over last night. We had a snowstorm last night and luckily for us the visibility was poor. My mom had also been stuck at the hospital and told Spencer and I that she would stay in an on call room and suggested for Liam to stay put. If it wasn’t for Liam’s warmth I think I would have woken up freezing a couple of times last night. When I walk up I went straight to my window. The streets we’re covered in snow. We had received about 20cm last night. Which would probably take the city a full day to blow. I wasn’t mad that I was going to spend more time with Liam. I grabbed his hand and we made our way to the bathroom. I put the water on and let it warm up a bit. We both took our clothes off. Liam put a hand on my check and softly kissed me.

“mmmm” I moaned out. We both climbed in the shower.

“Damn! This is hot. Are you trying to burn me?”

“Sorry, it’s just so cold.” He adjusted the water temperature and wrapped me around his arm.

“Is that better?” I nodded against his chest. Besides s*x sometimes we would use the shower for talking to each other. Liam was behind me washing my hair.

“Why didn’t you ever asked me out?” I curiously asked him.

“I always wanted too but Spencer miss a lot to me. I thought us dating would ruin our friendship.”

“Didn’t you date Carter’s sister?”

“Ya, but I don’t care about the dude.” We both laugh.

“What made you change your mind then?”

“In the end it was all about being happy. If Spencer couldn’t see how happy I am with you then maybe our friendship wasn’t strong enough. What about you? Why didn’t you say anything?” I turned around to face him. I looked at him and tilted my head.

“Have you met me? Every time I was around you, I was this little giggly person. It was embarrassing.” He cupped my face.

“I do wish we could have started this a long time ago.”

“And to be honest I always thought you liked the cheerleader type of girls.” He raised an eyebrow.

“What? Your kidding right? I dated like 2 cheerleaders and that girl named Becky.”

“Oh my god! I forgot about Becky. But still, Becky was your girlfriend in grade 8. I meant more when you we’re in High School. I just hated that I wasted 8 months with Carter.”

“I wasn’t 9 months with Taylor.”

“Can I be honest with you?”

“Always.”

“When you started dating Taylor I was kind of hoping that you guys would break up. When it didn’t I thought maybe I should date too. I didn’t want to date Carter. I played really hard to get. Plus I kept it PG 13.”

“Okay, well sense your being honest with me. When Taylor would give me BJ’s I was pretending it was you.”

“Shut up!”

“I’m not kidding. It was always you.

“And you we’re always mine.” He leaned in and kissed me.

“We better finish washing ourselves and get out before we become wrinkly.”

“I agree. I love our naked shower talks.”

“I do too.” We both finished washing ourselves, got out of the shower and wrapped ourselves with a towel. We made our way into my bedroom and got dressed. We made our way downstairs and found Spencer in the kitchen making food.

“Your making breakfast?” I asked him.

“Well I thought after hearing you guys last night that you would need some fuel.” I covered my face in embarrassment.

“Dude” Liam said to Spencer.

“What? Even the wind couldn’t cover the sound.” I was mortified.

“Spencer?” he looked at me. “Shut the f*ck up.” He turned back at the food and started laughing. After a few minutes he was done and placed everything on the island.

“Bonne appétit.” We sat down at the island and started eating. We had been eating for a couple of minutes when Liam broke the silence.

“Have you guys figured out what your doing for Christmas?”

“Well, looks like mom is working on Christmas day.” Spencer replied.

“Again?” this was the third year in a row. “So what? We’re spending Christmas just the 2 of us again?” I asked Spencer. He was about to say something when Liam thought of something.

“Actually I’m asking because my parents we’re wondering if you guys wanted to come to a ski resort with us?” I looked at him.

“Seriously?”

“Ya, last year they we’re really upset that Haley and I didn’t mention it. They would have rather you both with us. Talk to your mom about it.”

“Absolutely man. Thanks” Spencer fist bump Liam and I put my arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

Liam’s POV

It has been a little bit over two weeks since Ive asked Spencer and Nelly to join us on our family Ski Trip. Before their mother had to work from the 23rd to the 26th she had let them join us so they wouldn’t be alone. We would be returning on the 27th, making time for her to rest up before Nelly and Spencer returns home. One night Nelly called me mortified. Her mother had given her the talk about safe s*x and being careful. Even thought my parents we’re going to be there she said we looked like people who would sneak around and find a way. I’m not speaking for Nelly but she was right.

Their mother had already left for work and we we’re headed to their house to pick them up and to make our way to the Ski resort. We had a both a 3 hour drive. Dad got into their driveway and I got outside to help them put their stuff in the SUV. Nelly was the first one to come out of the house. She had a suitcase and her one piece snowsuit in her hand. I grabbed her snow suit and hung it in the car and placed her suitcase in. I then wrapped my arms around her and started kissing her. We caught the attention of the other occupants in the car due to Nelly’s giggling. It was cut short when I caught Spencer waiting for us to break free. Nelly made her way in the vehicle in the 3rd row while I helped Spencer with his stuff. I joined Nelly in the back and Spencer sat on the opposite side of Haley. We we’re driving for about 30 minutes when my dad started talking to Spencer.

“So Spencer, will you be taking a year off like Liam?”

“Unfortunately, I wont.”

“That’s great. Any ideas what you would like to do?”

“I’ve actually applied at a few schools for Psychology.”

“Psychology. Wow! What about football?”

“For me, football was just something I liked to do. It was never my idea of making it my career. I’ve always loved to help people.”

“And why psychology?”

“I’d like to become a Psychologist and my end goal isn’t to ask “How you doing today?” and just listening to them. I want to be able to be able to really help them out with words and such.”

“Good for you son! Liam decided to take a year off.” I saw Nelly turning quickly to look at me. I smiled when I saw her beaming.

“Are you really?” Nelly asked me.

“Ya, also like Spencer I don’t think football is an end game for me. I always wanted to be a lawyer so dad had suggested that I joined them, shadow someone and do simple tasks.”

“What about you Penny? Have you started thinking about schools?”

“I have but my main goal right now is to decide if I want to be a realtor or teacher. I’m still debating.”

“Two great choices honey.”

“I do hope Haley and I end up at the same school.”

“Don’t worry girl. You ain’t getting rid of me.” Haley replied.

“Thank god.”

“I just wonder if my brother is going to follow you too.” Did my sister think I was Nelly’s little puppy or something. Before I could even replied everyone started laughing. What was so funny? Nelly had fallen asleep in my arms while Spencer, Haley and I we’re playing on our old game boys. Kept the ride less boring. Once in a while we would be switching games among ourselves. It wasn't long after that we had arrived at the ski resort. I nudged Nelly to let her know we had arrived. I bend down to her.

"Hey sleeping beauty, we're here." I whispered in her ear. She slowly open her eyes and sat up. My parents had went in before us to do arrangements with the rooms. When we went in my dad came towards me.

"You and Spencer will be sharing a room. Here's the keys for the both of you." I took both keys and gave one to Spencer. My mom then gave the girls their keys.

"You girls will be staying together." We all took our stuff and made our way to our rooms. Before we made our way up my parents told us to get ready because they had made reservations to the resorts restaurant for dinner.

In Spencer and I’s room there was 2 double beds. Thank god we didn’t have to share one. I took the bed closer to the door just in case I was going to sneak out at night to go see Nelly. Reservations we’re at 7pm. It was cutting it close. Spencer had already left and heard that Haley did too. I walked towards the girls room. I knocked and the door flew open. I quickly saw a hand grabbing me by the shirt and pulling me in.

“Finally! Ive been waiting here for 10 minutes. You do know they left earlier so we can have a moment alone?”

“Sorry babe. I didn’t know.” I was watching her unzip my pants and pulling them down.

“If we’re not going to be able to spend time together we will now.” God she barely did anything and my d**k was rock hard. I could see she was looking for just a quicky but I was going to enjoy this. I grabbed her and leaned her against the wall. My b*lge was rubbing against her entrance. She was rocking her hips back and forth. She was getting wetter. I slowly inserted myself into her. She let out a moan. It sent shivers down my spine. I started trusting faster into her.

“Oh baby, your p*ssy feels so good.”

“uh huh! F*ck me harder Liam.” Before we both knew it I could feel her v*gina contracting on my shaft. I knew she was about to come. I leaned her into an angle and started rubbing her cl*t.

“Liam! I’m c*ming.” As she says it, I released my load. I slowly put her down. She leaned on the wall, panting.

“Liam, that was so sexy. I wish we could do more of that in the next few days.” She winked and went to wash herself up. I followed her and did the same. Afterwards we made our way downstairs to the restaurants. Had a quick dinner with my family, Nelly and Spencer. My parents went back to their room and the rest of us stayed for deserts. About 30 minutes ago we had also made our way back into our room. I gave Nelly a goodnight kiss and we went in our rooms. I went straight to bed and spend the night dreaming of my beautiful Nelly.

Penelope's POV

I woke up the next day feeling cold. I looked towards the window and saw big snowflakes fallen. I quickly got up and made my way to the window and saw that we had a storm during the night. I tilted my head back. Well, no skiing today I guess. We all got ready and made our way downstairs to have breakfast at the buffet. We spend the day playing board games and drinking hot chocolates by the fireplace. We also went in the guys room and watch a few movies. We ordered some room service. We ended up all falling asleep before we knew it, it was morning again. I woke up before everyone. Liam was still sleeping beside me. Damn! Haley and I forgot to go back into our room.

“Good Morning and Merry Christmas.” He slowly opened his eyes and smiled at me.

“Merry Christmas babe.” I leaned in and kissed him.

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” I yelled so loud it woke up Spencer and Haley.

“Merry Christmas” they both said. I jumped off the bed and made my way into my room to get ready. Shortly after Haley was dragging herself in. We got ready and met everyone at the restaurant. We sat down and our orders we’re taken. Liam cleared his throat and it caught my attention. Actually it caught everyone’s attention.

“Are you okay Liam? You look a bit pale.”

“I’m just very nervous.”

“Why are you nervous?” he took out a box out of his pocket.

“Nelly…” he started

“Liam…”

“We’re still both very young and I can’t express myself enough.” He open the box and there was a lovely simple ring in it. “The 7 diamonds on this ring represents the 7 days of the week that I love you.” He slowly slipped it on my finger.

“Oh Liam” I had a few tears.

“I promise you that someday I will asked you to be my forever.” I leaned into him and kissed him.

“This is absolutely the best Christmas ever.” Everyone was very happy. Haley and Mrs Ledger looked at my promise ring and found it stunning, so did I. Because today was a holiday the hills we’re closed so we had to wait till tomorrow to go skiing. We we’re really excited for that. I spend the afternoon leaning against Liam on the couch by the fireplace. I found a few books on the bookshelf and grabbed one to read before I made my way to Liam. He read my book with me. After a while he started playing on his game boy. We both fail asleep by the fireplace. When we got up we went and got some good turkey dinner with the rest of his family and my brother. While we we’re eating I looked at my ring and started smiling. Liam noticed and grabbed my hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it. My smile got bigger because of him.

I couldn’t wait to go skiing. It was finally morning and I was banging on the boys door. A sleepy Liam answered the door.

“Get dress bum! We’re going skiing.” He grunted.

“Give us like 30 minutes. Go have breakfast and we’ll meet you there.”

“We’re giving you both 15 minutes. Now go!” Liam closed the door and I could hear him yelling at Liam that his crazy sister want us to get ready. I leaned in the door.

“I heard that!” I yelled. Liam yelled back.

“I wanted you to.” Haley and I made our way to the buffet and grabbed some food. A few minutes later the boys we’re joining us with their food in their hands. We finally had our snowsuits on and our skiing gear and making our up the hills to go skiing. It was another fine day. Weather was nice, it wasn’t cold. We spend most of the day skiing. By the end my legs we’re cramping. I wasn’t going to show the others that Ive had enough. But I did want to change it up a bit. I saw some crazy carpets and saucer sleds and removed my skies and ran to bring my skies back to the resort then made my way to the little hill. The others saw me and did the same. We ended up sliding for a couple of hours. We made our way back. Warmed ourselves up my the fireplace and got food brought to us. After dinner we we’re all so exhausted that we dragged ourselves in our beds. Before we knew it we we’re back on the road and already at home. When Spencer and I got home, we quietly walked in the house without waking our mother. To our surprise she was already up, waiting for us to get home to do our own family Christmas. It felt good to be home with mom.
