snow day

November 22, 2023

Macklin closed the door to his car locking it, he swung his backpack over his shoulder and walked through the falling snow into the apartment building, he headed down the hallway and knocked on the door.

Gemma opened the door smiling softly seeing Macklin, “Hi Macky.” Gemma moved over letting him walk in as she closed the door behind him.

“Hi Hopey.” Macklin smiled softly back as he dropped his backpack to the floor and slipped off his winter coat and boots, he looked up and smiled softer at the sight of his best friend, she was wearing a pair of grey sweatpants and a purple long sleeve that was hanging off her one shoulder.

Gemma gently grabbed his hand and he picked his backpack up, she dragged him to the couch where she was working on school cuddled up under a bunch of blankets and she plopped down on the couch pulling Macklin down next to her.

Macklin opened up his back pack pulling out his computer and starting his homework sitting next to Gemma.

Macklin and Gemma must of sat there for a few hours not even realizing they haven’t gotten up at all and how late it had gotten but it was already past midnight when they both got an email and opened it.

The two didn’t realize over the few hours they were doing homework how heavy the snow was coming down and quickly too, both schools canceled school for the next as most people are already snowed in and the storm had only barely started.

“Did you get the email too?” Macklin questioned leaning over her shoulder looking at her computer.

“Yeah.” Gemma nodded softly not minding the fact she didn’t have school tomorrow.

They shared a look and got off the couch looking outside only being able to see snow with the street lights and they could see the snow already covering top of cars.

“Well i’m stuck here.” Macklin slowly nodded as he saw his car completely covered in snow and he wouldn’t be able to drive on the road.

“That’s ok.” Gemma shrugged not minding at all that Macklin would stay here.

Macklin gave her a slightly nervous look even though they have had sleepovers many times before something felt a little different tonight.

“I’ll get us some food.” Gemma told him heading to the kitchen, Macklin let out a nervous breath but started cleaning up all of their homework knowing they shouldn’t be doing anymore tonight and get some sleep after they eat.

He headed to the kitchen seeing Gemma heating up some meal plans, Gemma looked up hearing him walk in, “Sorry it’s boring but i’m exhausted.” Gemma usually would easily cook them something but she was way to tired to cook anything and wouldn’t be safe to cook anything that tired. Besides she does have quite a feel meal plans in her fridge on days she can’t cook.

“It’s more than okay, thank you Hopey.” Macklin felt grateful for anything, he wasn’t the best cook and he knew anything Gemma gave him would he better than what he would make himself.

Gemma sent him a soft smile and slid the dish across the counter towards him and she brought hers and sat down next to him.

Gemma listened as he talked about the game he played a few hours ago and put her input in once in a while.

Macklin stood up grabbing the dishes before Gemma could and gave her a stern look stopping her from cleaning up. Macklin cleaned up the dishes.

Gemma face was soft as she watched him move around her kitchen cleaning up after them.

Gemma knew of her feelings for Macklin, she’s known since the night of their prom and the way the whole night was so special and it was all because of Macklin, she knows she falling in love with him and truthfully she is not scared of that.

“Come on let’s get some sleep.” Gemma offered her hand to Macklin and took him to her bedroom.

“You know i can sleep on the couch.” Macklin protested blushing slightly as he held her hand and she took him to her bedroom.

“Macky we’ve shared a bed before.” Gemma gave him a look over her shoulder.

“Well i don’t want you think i have to sleep in your bed.” Macklin softly protested feeling bad having to make her share his bed.

“Macky, if i wasn’t comfortable with you sleeping in my bed i wouldn’t have offered.” Gemma turned around facing Macklin reassuring him. Macklin slowly nodded and gave her a smile.

Gemma pulled back the covers and jumped into bed getting underneath all of her blankets and opening the other side of the covers towards Macklin.

Macklin hesitantly climbed into the bed next to laying stiff next to her. Gemma shook her head fondly and scooted closer to him resting her head on his shoulder feeling him relax.

Macklin took a deep breath and hesitantly wrapped his arm around her shoulder, he felt her relax even more as she cuddled up against him more.

Macklin slowly felt his eyes start fluttering shut and before he knew he was fast asleep.

November 23, 2023

Macklin woke up feeling a weight on his side and an arm draped across his stomach, he froze for a second before remembering he slept in Gemma’s bed, he looked down seeing Gemma looking completely peaceful laying on his chest and he felt his heart pounding as he started at the girl he has a crush on for over a year now and nerve has told her.

Macklin hasn’t remembered the last time he had slept that good, he knew it was because Gemma was in his arms most of the night.

He gently picked up the bottom of her hair playing with the tips as he listen to the sound of the snow falling outside.

Macklin turned his head slight seeing it almost ten in the morning and was glad they didn’t have school so they could sleep in, Macklin knowing that Gemma and him both love sleeping and hating waking up early.

Gemma shuffled slight burrow her face against her chest, she let out a soft groan as she started waking up.

Gemma froze slightly when she realized she was cuddling with Macklin still and he had his arm around her but then relaxed realizing he stayed.

She made a happy sound and peered up at Macklin who was looking at her with a soft expression that made her stomach flutter.

“Hi.” Macklin whispered softly, gently putting her hair down and brushing her hair from her face tucking it behind her ear.

Gemma tried not to lean into his touch but smiled softly, “Hi.”

Macklin leaned over pressing a slow kiss to her forehead and pulled back slightly, “Yogurt Bowls?” Macklin knew Gemma was always pretty hungry when she woke up and so was he, also one of their favorite breakfast foods has always been yogurt bowls.

“Please!” Gemma smiled happily and gently and reluctantly moved away so Macklin could get up.

Gemma watched him head to the bathroom for a few minutes before he came out gave her a smile and headed out of the bedroom.

Gemma let out a breath and got up headed to the bathroom doing her morning routine before she walked into the kitchen seeing Macklin already down with the bowls and waiting for her.

She smiled walking to the barstools, she sat down and kissed Macklin on the cheek, “Thank you.” She quickly started eating she didn’t see the blush all over Macklin’s face.

“Of course Hopey.” Macklin muttered extremely flustered but distracted himself eating his bowl.

Gemma quickly finished her food and looked out the window seeing all the snow outside.

Macklin put the bowls in the sink and turned seeing Gemma look out the window at all the snow, he smiled fondly knowing Gemma adores the snow, “Wanna go outside?” He did not like the snow but he would go outside anytime if he gets the reaction he just got from her.

Gemma whipped her head around with a beaming smile almost bouncing with excitement, “Please!”

And that reaction made it all worth it for Macklin, he smiled and nodded.

Gemma squealed happyy and quickly hurried to the front entrance and started pulling on her snow clothes giving him an impatient look seeing him standing there, Macklin laughed but pulled on some snow clothes and slipped his jacket on.

Macklin looked over seeing Gemma already done waiting at the door for him and once she saw he was done she opened the door rushing out of her apartment to the front lobby and to the outside.

Gemma happily fell backwards into the snow making a snow angel in the snow, she giggled as she stuck her tongue out catching snowflakes.

Macklin smiled walking at a slower pace over to her and plopping down next o her and felt his head hit the soft power.

He turned his head facing Gemma watching her look up at the sky before she dragged her eyes away from the sky and to him and seeing Macklin already looking at her.

“What?” Gemma breathed out always feeling nervous when Macklin looks at her like that.

“You are so beautiful.” Macklin slowly shook his head reaching his gloved hand over to her pink cheeks wiping off a snowflake.

Gemma smiled softly and leaned her head closer to Macklin.

Macklin nervously gulped seeing her face so close to his, he let out a nervous breath and leaned forward, “Can i kiss you?” Macklin whispered the words he has wanted to ask the last year.

“I thought you never ask.” Gemma whispered back and leaned toward him letting her lips hit against his cold lips, it was like a puzzle piece connecting for the first time. Macklin hand slip to the back of her head tangling in her hair under her beanie.

They both pulled back letting out little relieved laughs as they started at each other with wide smiles and pink cheeks and snowflakes caught on their eyelashes.

“Is it too early to ask you to be my girlfriend.” Macklin mumbled nervously to her.

Gemma let out a small giggle but shook her head fondly, “No, No it isn’t.”

“Good, Will you be my girlfriend?” Macklin smiled nudging his nose gently to her nose.

“Yes.” Gemma giggled nodding her head and pressed her lips back to his.

They pulled back and Gemma smiled softly at her now boyfriend and as much as she wished to stay laying in the snow all day with Macklin she could tell he was freezing.

Gemma always found it so funny that Macklin can be on the ice all day and not be cold but the second he is off the ice, he suddenly is always cold.

“Come on Macky. Let’s warm you up.” Gemma reluctantly got up off the snow and held out her hand to him, Macklin grabbed her hand soflty standing up from the snow feeling himself shivering.

Gemma held onto his hand as they walked back into the apartment building and to her apartment, Gemma opened the door and they walked into the warm apartment.

“I’ll start a warm shower for you.” Gemma spoke softly as they slipped out of their wet snow clothes and hung it up in the entrance way, she grabbed his hand as they walked down and into her bathroom she turned the shower on and made sure it was warm.

“Go on, i’ll get you some clothes.” Gemma smiled softly seeing Macklin looking at her, he nodded and gave her a smile as she walked out of the bathroom closing the door.

Gemma headed to her dresser grabbing a pair of sweatpants and shirt she had stolen from Macklin. She grabbed a towel from her linen closet and walked back to the bathroom door hearing him in the shower and knocked on the door, she heard him speak and she opened the door laying the towel and clothes on the counter before heading out of the bathroom closing the door.

Gemma grabbed a pair of pajamas and changed out of her wet clothes, she put on a pair of fuzzy socks before she walked into the kitchen pulling out two mugs and starting to make hot chocolate.

Macklin got out of the warm shower and put on the clothes Gemma and he threw his wet clothes and towel in her hamper before stealing one of her oversized hoodies slipping it on.

He walked towards the kitchen smelling hot chocolate and got excited, he walked in smiling seeing Gemma topping two mugs with whip cream, He walked behind her wrapping his arms around her waist resting his head on her chin, “Thank you.” Macklin whispered to his now girlfriend.

“Always.” Gemma soflty replied holding up the mug for him, Macklin reluctantly unwrapped one of his hands from Gemma and grabbed the mug quickly drinking it not caring that’s its so hot.

“Careful!” Gemma laughed scolding him, she knew how much Macklin loves hot chocolate.

Macklin just shrugged happily drinking his hot chocolate.
