What Damien said at the thanksgiving table has stuck with me for almost a month now. Yeah that's right. Christmas is in a week and this boy has came over on our usual movie night without me telling him.

I even ordered his Christmas gift and we had a brawl when it was on the front porch because he wanted to see it.

Right now Damien was trying to pile as much popcorn as possible into a bowl while I set a pizza box down on the coffee table.

"So, movie night?" Damien asked, plopping down on the couch while I made sure the front door was locked.

"Whatcha thinking?" I mumbled moving toward the other side of the couch. He gave me a suspicious look that I use to see. It was weird, like he knew something and wasn't telling everyone.

"Something Christmas since it's that time of the year?" I questioned getting him to chuckle and nod his head. Damien was being weird and I was curious to know why but I didn't push it.

"If we are doing that then it has to be Elf." He crossed his arms in protest making me laugh before I got up.

This wasn't as awkward as usual. I mean we were still awkward but not, if that makes sense. I popped the DVD into the player and went to sit back down.

"I got your gift today," Damien mumbled, obviously excited. I turned to him and gave him a raised brow.

"What is it?" I was always pumped about Christmas, I loved giving people gifts and eating cookies. A small smile made its way to my face as Damien shook his head.

"Thea that would ruin Christmas if I told you," he smirked, proud of himself. He crossed his arms making me move closer and pout. My head turned to look up at him while I laid on his arms, trying to annoy him into telling me.

"How could that ruin Christmas. I mean it could just make me more excited and- can I just have a hint?" I whined, getting a laugh from him. Damien untangled his arms and wrapped them around me.

I'm not going to lie, I tensed up. It made me nervous being this close to him again.

One arm held my head up while the other was playing with my cheek. He just rubbed his thumb over it like it was normal for him. I mean it use to be, this use to be a every day thing for him before the wreck.

"I think a surprise would be better. Plus- I mean Christmas sex is a thing right?" He asked with a sly smirk, making me shake my head at him. It didn't stop me from laughing until my eyes started to water.

Damien smiled as widely as possible, chuckles coming from him too. Once the laughing died down we just watched each other. I was more then excited for Christmas because I was able to get people gifts.

"I think you'll really like this Christmas." He said quietly, kissing my forehead. I stayed quiet watching him with a small smile.

I did think I would love this Christmas. Even if Damien was still trying to be himself again, I still loved him. I missed my nickname and without that I knew he wasn't the same still. I would have friends this Christmas and mostly a family.

"Why are you being so lovey today?" I giggled, getting him to sink lower into the couch so we were closer. Damien had a five o'clock shadow that was literally to die for and man was it killing me. His green eyes watched me for a moment before he playfully rolled them making me smile.

"Let's just say remembering is getting easier and easier, especially with you around." While he was finishing the sentence he had somehow managed to find his was to my hair. His head was snuggled up into the crook of my neck, taking deep breathes.

I let out a small smile and kissed the side of his head. Damien physically tensed up and I know why. It was the first time I actually kissed him or showed any type of affection since the time at his house. He turned and gave me a sideways glance, not forgetting to give me one of his commercial smiles.

"Thea?" Damien questioned, his body turning to where his face was only a inch away from mine. I held my breath for some unknown reason before nodding my head. A small stream of air coming from me.

A hand slowly found its way to my cheek and I smiled slightly, my hand holding his closer to my cheek. My eyes slowly glanced up to his and I froze.

He was gorgeous, I mean model type gorgeous. He had a scar from the wreck that was across his left eyebrow but made him more beautiful.

Looking at him made me happy. He was still my Damien and for some odd reason I knew he remembered me. I knew he wasn't lying when he said remembering got easier and when he told me he was happy we fell in love. I was too, I'm glad we got too.

Because at least we almost made it, at least we tried.

I don't regret leaning in to kiss him at all. As soon as my lips touched his, he kissed back. His hands wrapped around me tighter and I knew he wanted this. His hands gripped my shirt as hard as they could and I couldn't help but smile onto it.

You know you truly love someone when you don't hate them for what they did before. I can truly say I am madly, head over heels in love with him and I don't think I'll ever not be.

I pulled away from him with a wide smile and laid my head down on his chest, feeling one hundred percent satisfied. Damien's hand played with my hair, his eyes burning loving holes into the side of my head.

"I love you Thea."
