" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

"Do you know how cute this sight is?" Alice says looking at the boy sleeping on the bed.

He is currently sleeping on the bed because the moment I came in, i simply gave him a bath and I threw him into one of Adrian's shirts.

The shirt was considerably long for him but yet he's sleeping like a baby now. He's sleeping like a little baby and I realise that is what he is.

He speaks very mature for his age, and i don't know I'm confused at this point.

I'm confused and I'm enraged because this kid has lost his dad.

He has lost his dad and what did he ever do to even warrant that. What did I do to also lose my parents, but I still lost them all the same, life happens I guess.

"Is there any way that we can get some things for him" I say looking to Adrian and he nods his head.

I realise that he has been silent ever since, he has been silent ever since we saw this boy and I pushed him out of the way. I do not want to think about that because I have more things to focus on now.

I have a little brother who has no clothes whatsoever.

"We can actually leave here?" I say to him and he nods his head.

Alright if he said it like that then I would have agreed, but yet I know that this is not a prison.

It's more like a dungeon, well it is more of an hell house more than anything else but all that aside.

"Are you angry at me bringing him here?" I say looking to Adrian and his look immediately softens.

His look had been hard as stone before and I had been nervous.

It's not like i had been nervous but i had been anxious.

Maybe he didn't approve of my actions because I'm pretty sure that I do not have anything to my name.

I do not have anything here to ensure this childs safety. Adrian was the one who brought me here so I should have asked him first, but yet right now, right now Adrian is simply looking at me with pride and adoration in His eyes.

"The only thing that worries me is the environment. Are we sure this is the right environment for him to grow up in?".

It is also something that I'm thinking about, it is also something that I'm thinking about but I nod my head.

"We'll take care of him, that is if you want to".

I feel my cheeks flushing red, suddenly this has brought a pang of remembrance to me, it has made me remember something that I watched on TV once and I don't want to say it lest I blush even more furiously behind the ears.

" Fne then. We can go out and get him some things to wear this evening".

I sign in relief at this as I plop back onto the bed.

"Finally, I'll get out of this place".
