Nate watched as you surveyed his new apartment with a keen eye as you stood in the middle of his living room with three totes surrounding you jam packed with Christmas decorations. He smiled softly as he lugged in your small metal step ladder and the last tote that you had brought with you to his place. He had called you in a panic two days ago saying that Sully had convinced him to host a Christmas party for a few of their friends and associates, what he hadn’t told you was that this get together held a second meaning to it as well. Sully had wanted to gather some information on some of their distant associates so that he would be ready for any double crossing that they might do.

“Hey Nate, were you able to pick up the folding table I ordered?” you asked him, suddenly sounding a little unsure as you looked around his living room again. He nodded his head quickly before moving to the closet and pulling it out for you to see. Nate sucked in a sharp breath as he smelt your Rosemary and Mint shampoo when you stepped close to him to look at the table he had picked up for you.

You had come into Nate’s life like a hurricane during a time that he was on downtime after a recent expedition with Sully. One night three years ago you had walked in with your group of girlfriends and had instantly stood out to him among your group, your smile had caught his attention and your sparkling eyes had kept him captive. When he had started flirting and talking with your group he had found it easier than anything in his life to fall into a friendly camaraderie with you. You called him out on his bullshit facts he liked to tell patrons and Nate had been stunned when you backed up your call out with actual facts that he had to look up for himself. He had loved the back and forth banter between the two of you that he had slipped his number into your clutch at the end of the night. Luckily for him you had called him later that night much to his surprise and he had instantly locked down a lunch date with you. After that Nate was hooked on you and you hadn’t seemed to oppose it thankfully.

Nate knew he was goner for you after that first night and found himself falling deeper and deeper into his feelings for you each time you met up with him. He found over the years that you were a woman who stood up for what was right, you loved deeply and took care of your loved ones, you were sweet and kind but managed to have a little bit of a temper. He was absolutely enamored of you and still he couldn’t find the courage to confess to you. Sully had started teasing him relentlessly after he had caught Nate texting you while on an expedition. Chloe had even gotten in on the teasing when she was with them on expeditions. Suddenly Nate grew nervous, both Sully and Chloe would be at this party that you were helping him host, what if they said something to you while at the party? What if they told you how much he cared about you? Nate frowned softly as he thought about all the things they could tell you about his feelings for you and felt his palms start to sweat.

“Nate? Are you okay?” you asked softly as you placed a hand on his shoulder. “Are you nervous about the party? Don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of time to get it all set up before anyone gets here.” you reassured him and Nate looked at you with a warm smile on his face. You were gazing at him so sweetly and you were close enough that all he would have to do is lean forward and he could press his lips to yours in a sweet kiss. He chuckled softly and ducked his head trying to banish the thought from his head.

“With you in charge, I know I have nothing to be worried about.” he said fondly and watched delightedly as a blush crept up your face as your eyes sparkled at his praise. You grinned widely at him and nodded your head with determination before moving back to the middle of the living room.

“Alright let’s start moving some furniture so that we have more room for the guests.” you told him and Nate nodded as he set the table to the side and moved closer to you for your instructions.

*-*-*-*

Nate walked out of his bedroom brushing off the front of his large Christmas sweater and had to stop short as he stood in the entryway of the living room. The room had been transformed into a cozy Christmas wonderland, the Christmas tree he had bought a week ago at your insistence was decorated beautifully with multicolored twinkling lights and different colored ball ornaments. There was tinsel and twinkling lights hung along the top of the walls as it draped down in u shapes all around the room. The snack and drink table had a Christmas themed table cloth and little snowman figures dotted the table. And there was even a small village set up along his window sills. The decorations looked wonderful and he had only you to thank for that.

Just then Nate heard the oven timer go off and he walked towards the kitchen where he found you still dressed in your baggy shirt and workout leggings bending over the oven and checking a delicious looking pot roast that you were making for the main meal of the party. Nate was more distracted by your position over the oven than the actual food but he bit his tongue to curb himself from saying anything.

“Anything I can do to help?” he asked softly when he saw you take the thermometer out of the roast and set it on top of the stove before standing straight. You looked over your shoulder at him and Nate felt the air in his lungs escape him at how pretty you looked. Your face was flushed from the oven, your hair a mess about your face, but the happy smile on your face and the sparkling in your eyes made him fall deeper in love with you.

“Roast is good for another hour and a half. That’ll give your guests time to have some snacks and mingle. I’ve got a few other sides to whip up but they won’t take long. I just need to start getting dressed before the guests arrive.” you told him and he nodded along at your words. You placed the dish towel back on the oven handle before looking back over at him with a warm smile. “Is that the Christmas sweater I got you last year?” you asked him curiously and Nate instinctively looked down at his sweater, it was one of the comfiest sweaters he had ever gotten and it had a festive green, red and white diamond pattern covering it, before bashfully nodding his head while he stuttered for words to say. You stepped over to him and pressed a kiss to his blushing cheek causing him to halt and stare at you with wide eyes. “You look good in it.” you told him before moving out of the kitchen and into the bathroom to start to get ready. Nate groaned softly after he heard the shower turn on, he was so in love with you if only he wasn’t a coward and could tell you.

Just then there was a knock at his door and Nate rushed over to it, peering through the peephole to see Sully grinning while holding up a bottle of champagne. Nate sighed softly and opened the door to let him in.

“Heeeeeeyyyy!” Sully cheered happily and wrapped Nate in a tight hug. “What’s up buddy? How’s it going?” Nate hugged Sully back with a happy smile before guiding him into the apartment. “Wow man! Look at this place! It looks great!” he said happily as he walked into the middle of the living room and turned around in a circle with a wide smile on his face and his arms held out at his sides.

“All thanks to Hurricane.” Nate said with a soft fond smile on his face.

“Is she here?!” Sully asked in a loud whisper that had Nate rolling his eyes. “She’s here isn’t she?” he began to pester Nate who took the bottle of champagne from him and brought it into the kitchen to store in the fridge. “You couldn’t have done all of this without her. So where are you hiding her?” Sully kept asking and Nate frowned at him offended.

“I could’ve totally done all this by myself.” Nate argued and Sully laughed loudly just as there was another knock on the door. Nate frowned at Sully as the two walked back to the door and opened it to see Chloe dressed in a pretty red dress and black heels holding a bakery box in her hand. Nate happily took the box from her and let her inside his apartment. “You can put your coat in the closet there or in the spare bedroom down the hall.” Nate said over his shoulder as he brought the cake back into the kitchen.

When he walked back out to the living room he saw that Sully was already letting more people into the apartment with happy loud greetings while Chloe grabbed some snacks from the snack table. He walked over to the table and picked up his phone to find the Christmas playlist that you had made for him for the party. When the Christmas music began to play softly throughout the apartment everyone cheered happily and Nate smiled as he saw everyone starting to mingle together.

“So Sully says Hurricane is here and you have hidden somewhere.” Chloe said softly in his ear and Nate jerked away from her as she burst out into laughter at his antics. “So fidgety.” she observed out loud and Nate scowled at her.

“I don’t have her hidden. She’s getting ready in the bathroom. If you and Sully say anything to her I’ll make sure neither one of you gets any treasure from our next expedition.” Nate warned her quietly and Chloe widened her eyes in response before a slow wolfish grin formed on her face.

“Oh this is serious.” she said softly as her eyes danced around his face with glee. Nate shifted from side with anxiety as he knew Chloe has figured out his true feelings for you. But just as he was going to open his mouth everyone grew quiet and they all turned towards the entryway of the living room. Nate turned and nearly swallowed his tongue when he spotted you, you were freshly showered with dewy soft skin, your hair was perfectly styled, your makeup looked effortless and natural on you, and you wore a quarter sleeved green dress that had the same red, white, and green diamond pattern as his sweater as the top part of the dress. You looked beautiful and Nate quickly walked to your side with a slight blush on his cheeks as he noticed that the two of you matched perfectly as hosts. You beamed up at him and he grinned down at you as everyone began to whisper and murmur to each other. Nate looked up with a sharp eye as he heard ‘hurricane’ being whispered among the guests and they all snapped their mouths shut. You sidled up to Nate and wrapped an arm low around his waist while your other hand lay flat against his stomach.

“Thank you all for coming! I hope you all enjoy yourselves. Dinner should be ready in about an hour.” you greeted everyone with a bright happy smile and everyone raised their glasses with a happy cheer. You began to move away from Nate back towards the kitchen to check the roast and begin making the sides when Sully cleared his throat.

“Ya can’t leave yet sweetheart.” he called out and Nate frowned as he heard sniggering laughs fill the room. You looked over to Sully with a raised eyebrow as curiosity sparkled in your eyes. Nate scowled at Sully who only grinned widely at the two of you before pointing towards the ceiling. Nate nearly groaned as he knew what Sully did without him knowing while he was busy talking to Chloe. Just as his eyes reached the ceiling he sighed softly, there taped to the ceiling was a little sprig of mistletoe. Nate felt his body flush with heat at the thought of kissing you and kissing you in front of his friends and associates, he worried that you wouldn’t want to or would be disgusted by the thought of kissing him. What he did not expect was for you to chuckle softly as you stared at the mistletoe before darting your eyes to his.

“You alright with this Nate?” you asked softly in a sweet tone that had Nate blushing darkly before nodding his head quickly. He began to lean down towards you but you grabbed onto his sweater and pulled him quickly down the rest of the way and slanted your lips against his. Nate stumbled forward into you and wrapped his arms around your body to try and steady the two of you as your mouth pressed into his. He moaned softly so that only you could hear, at the feeling of your soft lips against his. Cheers filled the room and Nate gasped as he pulled back from you forgetting that you had a room of spectators which made you chuckle at his antics. You patted him softly on his chest before grinning at the guests and moving back into the kitchen.

“Go get her Nate.” called out Sully and Nate grinned at him before whirling around and rushing into the kitchen. He found you standing at the counter reaching up to grab something from the cabinet above. He didn’t give you time to react as he stepped forward and turned you around swiftly to face him before he cupped your face and pressed his lips to yours. You squeaked softly before humming into the kiss and melting against him as he stepped closer and caged you against the counter.

“I’m in love with you.” Nate confessed quietly to you when he finally pulled away and you beamed up at him dreamily.

“Finally you say it out loud.” you simpered at him and Nate looked at you with wide eyes. “I’ve been waiting for you to gather up the courage to say it with your mouth instead of your eyes.” you told him sweetly. “I love you too Nate.” Nate grinned down at you before pressing another kiss to your mouth as he listened to the guests talking and laughing out in the living room. This was the perfect Christmas party he’s hosted yet.
