The tree is perfect. This whole day has been absolutely amazing. Oliver is the first guy I’ve spent any significant amount of time with for a while now that makes me want more. Something about him draws me in, other than the fact that I want to jump his sexy as fuck bones. I love talking to him, too. How can someone that’s so sweet and gorgeous still be single?

Pulling the mesh from the box, I notice that it has tiny pops of white scattered throughout. I wanted something different when I went to pick out burlap from Hobby Lane, my favorite little DIY store. I picked out ribbons in black buffalo check and red to tie in with the other colors I’m using this year. I found adorable button ornaments, wooden bead ornaments in solid and red colors, plus I grabbed some extra red berries to match the ones on my mantle.

Rubbing his hands together, he looks at me with that charming smile that makes my heart do funny things. “Where do we start?”

“Well, I like to start at the top and work down, which means tree topper first, followed by the lights. Then I’ll stream the ribbons in three different ways, add in the finishing touches, and voila! The tree is complete.”

He clasps his hands together. “All right then, let’s get to it.”

The curtain on the front window is open, swaying back and forth as the old vent register blows heat into the room. I can tell that the snow has been coming down in sheets. The ground is covered in several inches, and it’s so thick that it reflects off the night sky in shades of crystalline white. It’s nice having Oliver here with me this year. For the first time, I don’t need a ladder to meet those crazy high branches to string up the lights. In no time the tree is half lit and we’re moving right along. He stands at the front of the tree while I stand around the back as we hand the lights back and forth to cover all of the tree.

The smile he gives me every single time he hands over the lights is making my heart somersault. Butterflies are taking flight in my stomach, and I can’t fight the urge I have to kiss him again. Everything about decorating a tree together is romantic. The sounds of “Merry Christmas, Baby” play softly in the background. The rest of the room is lit. Candles twinkle and dance, smelling of the winter season. The frosted cranberries mixed with the smell of our fresh tree is so nostalgic, reminding me of my grandmother’s house at Christmas.

“Oh, shit. We didn’t put up the tree topper.” I say, looking at where it sits on the couch. I can’t believe I’d gotten so lost in the lights that I forgot.

“Grab it and come here.” He motions me over to him. Starting to hand it over, he stops me. “Hold onto it.” Leaning down, he grabs me under the waist and lifts me easily up to the top of the tree.
