Christmas Eve Accidents

"Charlotte, put me down!" I yell

Charlotte claimed that I was taking too long to wake up so she threw me over her shoulder.

She's been walking around for a while now.

"Shhh" she says as she pinches my butt which causes me to blush

She suddenly stops before she places me on the kitchen island.

"That was so not cool" I say with a pout

"Aww, you look cute" she says as she stands in between my legs

"No I don't, my hair is a mess and I probably look like a zombie" I say as I push loose strands of hair away from my face

She tucks a brown strand of hair behind my ear before she firmly grips my waist and pulls me closer to her body.

She looks me in the eyes before her eyes flicker down towards my lips which causes her to bite hers.

Fuck, that's hot.

She looks up into my eyes again before gently grabbing my face and leaning in.

Oh god.

Am I really about to kiss my best friend?

Fuck it.

We're centimeters away from kissing each other when we hear a fake cough behind us.

I quickly push her away which causes her to stumble back a little with a dazed look before she shakes her head and glares at the person.

"What the fuck, Carolina" she groans with an annoyed tone

I turn around and see a smirking Carolina.

"Don't try to pin this on me" She says as she walks further into the kitchen

"You shouldn't be making out in the open if you don't want to be caught" Carolina continues with a shrug

I blush as Charlotte groans and walks towards the refrigerator.

"Merry Christmas Eve" I say to Carolina with a smile when I realize what day it is

"Merry Christmas Eve" she says with a head nod before she smiles and walks out of the kitchen

Okay?

That was weird.

"What did y'all do?" A random boy asks a couple of seconds after Carolina leaves

"None of your business" Charlotte snaps as she cracks eggs into the pancake batter

"I feel the sexual tension all the way in the game room" the dude says which causes me to laugh as Charlotte scoffs

"There is no sexual tension" she says

Maybe not for you, but there definitely is for me.

"I'm timing you both" he says as he pulls out his phone

"For what?" I ask with confusion obvious in my tone

"To see how long it takes for one of you to jump each other's bones" he says like it's a fact which causes my eyes to go wide as I blush

"That won't happen" I say

"I'm still going to time it" He says as if he knows it's inevitable

That timer is going to be going for a long time.

There's no way that Charlotte and I will jump each other's bones.

-

After breakfast Charlotte and I laid in her bed and binge watched Christmas movies.

By the third movie I was getting tired again. My eyes would stay open for a second before my lids would close. I kept jumping awake when I realized that my eyes were closed.

"Just go to sleep" Charlotte says with a soothing voice as she rubs my back

I adjust my body so that I'm laying on top of her with my head resting on her breast while my legs tangle with hers

"Comfortable?" She asks with an amused voice

"Mhm" I hum out as she carefully wraps her arms around my waist

I slowly fall into a deep sleep as I listen to the sound of her steady heartbeat.

-

I slowly wake up to an empty bed.

I open my eyes and see that Charlotte is nowhere to be found.

She's been disappearing a lot lately.

As I'm getting out of bed, careful to avoid my broken arm and ribs, Charlotte comes into the room and her eyes widen.

"What are you doing? Lay back down" she says as she walks towards me and sets the donut box on the bed

I look at her then point to the donut box as I raise my eyebrow as If silently asking her what it's for.

"I bought it for you" she says nonchalantly as she rearranges the pillows and carefully lays me against them

"Water" I gasp out as I put my hand over my rib

"Yeah, of course" she says before she runs out of the room and down the stairs

I fight through the excruciating pain as I lean forward to grab the donut box that's calling my name.

Just a little further.

The tips of my fingers brush against the edge of the box before Charlotte rushes in.

"Seriously, Aspen?!" She asks with a tone of disbelief as she shakes her head. I give her a innocent smile as I shrug my shoulder.

"Here" she says as she hands me a glass of water along with two tablets of ibuprofen

I throw the pills into my mouth before I chug the water.

She smiles at me before sliding the box of donuts onto my lap.

My mouth waters at the heavenly aroma that the donuts release when I open the box. I thank Charlotte before I start devouring the donuts.

-

12 minutes later, 12 donuts gone.

"I have an early Christmas present for you" Charlotte says as she stand up and walks towards her closet

"Give it to me later. It's only twelve in the afternoon" I say which causes her to nod before she walks back over to me

"What do you need help with?" She asks with genuine concern

"Taking a shower" I say as I nervously look down at my fingers

When I don't hear a response I look up only to see Charlotte looking down at her feet as the tips of her ears turn a bright red.

"It's okay if you don't feel comfortable enough to do that," I say

"I might be able to ask Carolina to help me" I suggest which causes her head to snap up at me in panic

"No, I'll do it" she quickly declares as her nose and ears continue to project a red color

"Are you sure?" I ask as I think more about the situation

"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, considering that you're my best friend" I say which causes my heart to clench when I utter those two words

"No, it's fine. Plus, I saw you naked yesterday when I helped you change" she says with a smirk

How could I forget about that?!

That look that she gave me.

The way her eyes looked when they landed on me.

I shiver at the thought before she helps me get out of this bed.

She carefully carries me bridal style into her bathroom before placing me down on my feet.

She walks over towards the shower and turns it on before pushing the nozzle to the hot side.

She walks over to me and motions for me to hold my arms up. I hold my good arm up before she reaches behind me and pulls the hoodie off of me which causes my breasts to fall free.

My nipples firm up and turn into peaks almost immediately.

Charlotte bites her lip as she tries to avoid looking at my upper body. She takes her pointer fingers and hooks them in the band of my biking shorts before yanking them down my legs, taking off my panties with them.

I step out of both articles of clothing. Charlotte hands me a bag from her bathroom closet to put over my cast.

After putting the bag over my cast I carefully step into the shower while Charlotte strips out of her clothing.

I peek a look at her only to blush and look away when I catch a glimpse of her bare chest.

Her breasts are about the same size as mine, maybe a cup smaller, and her nipples are a light pink while mine are a dusty rose.

When she's finished undressing she hops into the shower, behind me, with a bar of soap and two washcloths.

"I'm going to wash you now. Are you ready?" She asks as she reaches around me and wets the washcloth.

I take a deep breath before I nod my head.

She gently lathers the soap on my back while rubbing in a circular motion. I flinch when she rubs over my ribs which causes her to freeze.

"Am I hurting you?" She asks as she removes her hands from my body

"No, I'm fine" I say with a smile which causes her to frown

"Stop lying, you're not fine" she says with a sad tone which makes me to pout

"I'm okay, honestly. I promise" I say as I look her in the eyes

"Okay" She says hesitantly before she continues to wash me

-

After Charlotte washed the both of us she wrapped me in a large fluffy towel before leading me into her closet.

She tightens her towel as she goes over to a plastic bag that contains an unopened pack of underwear. She picks out a black pair before grabbing one of her oversized band tees and walking over to me.

I drop my towel as she stands in front of me which causes her eyes to flicker down my body. She gulps and blinks her eyes only to have her pupils dilate. She bites her bottom lip before grabbing the underwear and holding them open for me.

I step into them before she pulls them up my legs. She turns around and grabs the tee before placing my neck through the hole and letting it sit around my shoulders.

I help her remove the plastic bag from my arm before placing it down. She carefully pushes my arm through their corresponding holes before swiftly sliding the shirt down my frame. The shirt stops at my mid thigh area.

Charlotte turns around and quickly dresses in a white pair of lacy underwear and a red oversized flannel.

"We're going to the theater room" Charlotte says before she scoops me up and carries me bridal style

"I'm starting to think that you like carrying me" I tease her which causes her the roll her eyes

"Think what you want. I'm doing this for you" she says with a smile

-

I wake up in complete pain which causes me to whimper as I slowly sit up straight in my movie theater chair.

I turn to my left and see Charlotte peacefully sleeping in her chair as her blanket lays on her legs.

We didn't have blankets when we came in here.

Someone must've walked in on us.

Ugh, I hope they don't get the wrong idea.

It's becoming harder to hide my affection for Charlotte.

But I need to, for the sake of our friendship.

I take a deep breath before I slowly, but surely, stand from my chair and make my way out of the theater room.

I remember her taking a left before walking down a long hallway.

I walk down the hallway before taking a right and meeting the main stairway.

I carefully walk down the granite steps and walk into the kitchen only to be met with Carolina drinking a cup of coffee.

"Hey" I rasp out as I carefully take a seat in one of the barstools

"Hey, I barely saw you yesterday" she says with a smirk which causes me to roll my eyes

"Whatever you're thinking that Charlotte and I did, didn't happen" I say but her facial expression doesn't change

"I'm injured, the only thing I can do correctly is sleep" I say with an eye roll

She raises her hands in surrender as she backs up and places her cup in the sink.

"Do you want to help me with something?" Carolina asks with a hand on her hip

"It depends on what it is" I respond

"Well, every Christmas morning I bake sugar cookies for everyone in this house. If you helped me it would go by so much quicker" she persuades as I smile

"It's six in the morning, can't we just buy sugar cookies?" I ask

"It's Christmas morning. Who do you think is going to be open?" She asks as she raises an eyebrow

"Mr. Carello" I state like it's obvious

"He banned you guys, remember?" She states with an eye roll

"That wasn't my fault. Plus, it's worth trying" I say as I shrug my shoulder

I grab the container of my pain pills off of the counter and take two of the pills out before I get handed a glass of apple cider.

"Thank you" I say before I place the pills on my tongue and throw them back with the beverage

"How about you take a nap while I go get the cookies?" She suggests as she helps me off the chair and through the foyer

I feel tired, but I still want to be helpful.

"But why? I wanted to help" I whine since I haven't been able to do anything with these injuries

"You're helping your body when you rest" she points out as she leads me up the stairs

"I don't want to keep passing out every couple of hours" I say with a frustrated tone as she walks into Charlotte's room and lays me in her bed

"If it means that you're healing and getting better then none of us mind" she says as she picks up a Christmas throw blanket and lays it over my body

I'm so comfortable.

And tired.

No, I will not fall asleep.

"Goodnight, Aspen" She says when my eyes slowly close

The next thing I know I'm asleep.
