Chapter Twelve

Thanksgiving was upon them before Kristina could blink. She was glad there was no school on Wednesday, because she was able to get ready for Lisa and her family, who were set to arrive that afternoon. She just finished her grocery shopping, and was loading her bags into the trunk when she heard Nathan call out to her.

She turned as he jogged toward her, a grocery bag in one hand and his jacket slung over his shoulder. She wondered if he knew what a striking figure he made, with the sun tickling the blond highlights in his hair, and his blue polo shirt, stretched across his well muscled chest, and flattered his smoky blue eyes. She almost giggled out loud as she thought, he looks as delicious as the pumpkin pie I just bought.

Nathan asked, “Is your friend here yet?”

“Not yet; she gets in this afternoon.”

He helped her put the last of her groceries in the trunk, and together they walked as he put the cart back.

“Don’t forget to take her to the downtown Christmas display. It is one of the most amazing sights you have ever seen, at least here in Hamilton.”

You are a pretty amazing sight, she thought to herself. However, “I will,” was all that she said to him. “Are you and your family going, too?”

“Sort of,” he said, leaning a hip against her car. “The church always puts up a manger display, and on opening night as well as Christmas Eve, several of us go out there and sing Christmas Carols.”

“We’ll make sure and stop by.” She said, just as his cell phone rang.

“That’s my mom, wondering where her groceries are.”

Though he stepped a little away, she heard snatches of his conversation. “No, mom, I didn’t get lost. I was talking to Kristina . . . Yes she is fine . . . I was going to, but she has other plans . . . Mom, I'll be there in a few minutes.” Exasperated, he hung up.

Kristina was closing her trunk and was putting her purse in the front seat of the car, but her heart was skipping within her chest. Had he really thought of inviting her to Thanksgiving dinner? The thought thrilled her, and increased the bubbly feeling within her belly.

She straightened and turned as he came up behind her. With one hand on the open door, and one on the top of her car, he bent down. She caught the clean scent of his aftershave, and felt the warm brush of his lips against her cheek.

“I better get these groceries back to my parent’s house.” He said, though he made no move to leave. He just stared down into her hazel eyes.

Kristina said, “Yeah, me too, Lisa should be here in a couple of hours.” She had no desire to move away from him either. She could still feel the warmth on her cheek where his lips had just left, and she would be lying if she didn't admit to herself that she wanted to feel them again.
