"How about, you go upstairs and pick a movie for us, and I'll make us some hot chocolate?" Ross suggests as we enter the house. My face was still deep red from the kiss, but I could easily play it off from the cold.

"Sounds amazing." I smiled as I took my hand off his bicep. He nods as I walk upstairs since Rydel was watching over the cookies. As I passed the kitchen, I noticed a camera looking out over the snow Ross and I were just in. We realized that it was filming and looked at each other at the same time.

"Um, was that filming when we were out there?" Ross asks. "Yeah, why?" Rydel asks. Ross widens his eyes before snatching the camera off the tripod.

"Ross! Give it back!" Rydel groans as she tries to steal it. Ross climbs on the counter and stands up so Rydel couldn't reach it. This seemed to be normal in the Lynch household, because Stormie didn't react, and instead she worked around him. I watched as he went through it.

"Rydel, you have to delete this." Ross groans as we make eye contact. "Why? What's the problem?" Rydel asks as she looks between us.

"Give me it!" She exclaims, probably realizing what happened. "No!" Ross shoots back as he holds it over his head. "Ross, give your sister her camera back." Stormie sighs. My heart starts to race as he reluctantly began to hand her the camera, getting off the counter afterwards.

She groans as she begins to go through the footage. Ross and I awkwardly stand there as she watches it.

"No way!" She squeals. I groan before covering my face with my hand.

"What? What happened?" Stormie joins the conversation again. "Ross and Angel-." Rydel starts, but Ross covers her mouth.

"You can only tell mom. If the boys find out they'll tease me." Ross stares her down. Rydel glares, but agrees. As he lets go, she starts showing Stormie the footage.

Stormie looks up at the two of us as Rydel lowers the camera.

"I have to say, I've been waiting for this." Stormie beams before hugging Ross. Ross chuckles as he tightly hugs her back.

"Alright, back to the original plan!" Ross exclaims as they pull apart. Smiling, I made my way upstairs and up to my room.

Ross joins me a few minutes later with two cups of hot chocolate topped with Whipped Cream.

"Thank you." I smiled as he gently hands me it, making sure not to spill it. Nodding, he scoots into bed beside me as I start the Christmas movie.

As we began to watch the movie, Ross places a protective arm around my shoulders. Smiling, I curled into his lap while drinking my mug of hot chocolate.

"Let me teach you this dance!" Ross exclaims later that night as he pulls me off the couch into the large open area. His family watches us from the living room.

"What dance?" I asked as I put my cookie down. "The dance from my new movie, you guys will be the first to see it." Ross says as he grabs his phone with his free hand but doesn't let go of my hand.

"Okay, I'm gonna teach you before we listen to the song." Ross nods as he places his phone on the mantle about the fireplace. Nodding, I let go of his hand and got in position. Hopefully, my years of dance as a kid helps me out.

Ross laughs as he begins the dance. Wow, this looks like a lot of fun. I studied his movements as he continued the dance.

Ross does finger guns as he finishes the dance towards me before sending me a discreet wink. "That doesn't look too hard." I laughed. I never told him I did dance as a kid, so this should be fun.

"Ready, go!" Rydel exclaims from the couch. Smiling, I imitated Ross's moves from before, somehow not messing up.

"Okay, you have to be a dancer. That's too good to not be a dancer." Riker laughs. "I did dance as a kid and until I left for my first tour." I said as I continued dancing, Ross joining in.

Later that night after everyone retired to bed, I laid in my room and watched Netflix on my computer. But I couldn't pay attention to my computer, all I could think about was the kiss Ross and I shared earlier today.

Sighing, I closed my computer and sat it on the nightstand before laying in bed and replaying the kiss in my mind. I wanted to march down the hall to his room and kiss him again, but he was probably passed out.

As I rolled over towards the door, I heard a knock. "Come in!" I softly called out. The door opened and in walked in a shirtless Ross. He seemed so tired today, I thought he would be asleep by now.

"I couldn't stop thinking about you, and the kiss." Ross says as he shuts the door behind him.

"Me either, if we're being honest." I smiled as he sat down on the other side of the bed.

"You want to lay down? Maybe watch another movie?" I asked. "Sounds good." Ross smiles before sliding in under the covers with me. Grabbing my laptop, I opened it and searched for movies.

"I can't find anything." I sighed as I looked over at him. "How about we just talk?" He suggests. Nodding, I put my laptop back on the nightstand and turned on my side to face Ross completely.

"I'm super tired, but I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about you." He rubs his eyes. "Then let's just sleep, we can talk all day tomorrow." I smiled as I brushed some hair out of his eyes.

"Can I kiss you?" Ross asks as I pulled my hand away from his face. "You don't have to ask, Ross." I blushed. He blushes with a cute smile before leaning in and pressing a sweet kiss on my lips.

"Got some sleep." I whispered as we pulled away. Ross sends me a cute smile before closing his eyes and opening his arms for me. Smiling, I moved closer so that my head was laying on his chest, my arm draped over his stomach, and my leg draped over his waist.

I fell asleep in perfect content.
