Novels by Steffy

The weeks passed quickly as everyone enjoyed the rest of the year.Holly and Lydia meanwhile prepared for their surprise at midnight."Hey Mel?" Ann said as they watched Lydia run out the door. "What's up with her lately? Hasn't she been like this since Christmas?"Melanie nodded, watching Lydia out the window."Isn't this where one of us suggests to follow her?" Ann asked."Don't." Melanie moved away from the window. "She's allowed her privacy."Ann blinked. "You're not curious?""Of course I am, but I think she wants to surprise us." Melanie sighed. "She's planning something with Holly for New Year."Ann heaved a sigh. "You've already tailed them, haven't you?"Melanie shot her a sheepish smile."I didn't see what they were doing, just them meeting up." Melanie admitted.Ann glanced out the window."It's New Year's Eve, I'm sure they'll tell us later." Ann reassured.Melanie smiled and turned toward the stairs."Let's play a game," she suggested, going upstairs before the blonde cou

Trisha was quite literally up at the crack of dawn, as soon as sunlight peeked into her room, she was awake, out of bed, and dressed in minutes.She ran to her sister's room and began jumping on the bed."Sis~! It's Christmas!" she announced.The strawberry blonde peeked out from under her yellow, fish themed blankets and blinked up at her, then threw her blankets back over her head like any normal person, human or not, would when woken up before decent o'clock."Sis~!" Trisha whined, shaking where the older girl's shoulders were.Melanie pushed the blankets off with a sigh of defeat."I'm awake, go wake Lydia." Melanie gave a silent apology as Trisha left.Melanie knew, whether she liked it or not, that she had to get up now.Trisha was still very fond of sitting under the tree opening presents, hers or not.Right on cue, Melanie heard her cousin shouting at Trisha to go away.Melanie got up, ignoring the few blankets that fell on the floor, and went to Lydia's room to save her siste

Holly hated Christmas Eve.Not that she had a problem per say, or anything bad happened, it may as well have been just another day...Except for the fact that every year the day felt longer... waiting for the day to end, then the struggle trying to get to sleep."Holly, staring at the clock won't make it go faster." her father pointed out as she sat at the kitchen table staring at the clock shaped like a yellow teapot. "It doesn't make a difference."Holly grumbled, sipping her hot chocolate and standing up. "I should do dinner for tomorrow.""Are you going to make meatloaf?" her father asked, holding out her pink apron.Holly shot him a confused look."You mean stuffing? Yeah." Holly took her apron and tied it around her back."You look like a pro." her father said with a grin and thumbs up."Thanks," Holly began going around the room gathering ingredients while her father just sat and watched."You love to cook, don't you Holly?" he asked.Holly turned from where she was crumbling b

"Wow...!" Trisha breathed.Emilie stood next to her, in the middle of taking her coat off."Wow!" she said again, Emilie's dress was beautiful; It was white with silver flowers and a thick pink twim. "You look amazing!""Thanks, Holly made it." Emilie explained.Trisha nodded in understanding."Come on, I'm thirsty." Trisha took Emilie's hand and ran to the drinks table.Trisha took two cups and gave Emilie one."Let's dance." Trisha said when they finished their drinks.Emilie took Trisha's offered hand and they went to the dance floor.--------"They look like they're having fun." Lydia said, watching them from the door."We should go to our own party." Melanie suggested."Mel's right, we should go." Sapphire agreed when no one moved."They're pretty cute though." Lydia said, her two friends agreeing as they left.--------"When are they gonna get here!" Holly complained impatiently.She and Ann had been waiting at their party, waiting for the rest of the group who had been assigned

"Wow...!" Trisha stared in awe at the beautiful red dress covered in ruffles and bows, not unlike the dress she usually wore, only more fancy."Are you getting that one?" Melanie asked, a gold dress draped over her arm."Yep!" Trisha took it off the rail and ran over to the till.Melanie dug out her purse and put the dress down with Trisha's."Sis..." Trisha said nervously, holding a necklace with a bow shaped pendant.Melanie just nodded to the till."Come again." the shop worker said as they left."Let's go see Holly," Trisha said. "She said the jumpers are finally done.""I bet they've been done a while," Melanie sighed. "She's really fast, but doesn't like people thinking she rushes.""I don't think that." Trisha admitted."I know," Melanie smiled. "Let's get these home first though."Trisha nodded in agreement and ran on ahead.--------Holly practically threw herself at the door when she saw the sisters pass the window, Trisha had her fist raised to knock, while Melanie just loo

Will watched her go, knowing it would take more than that to win Melanie back.For now, he decided to just go back to where he was staying.--------"Who was that Holly?" the blonde's father asked as they watched the exchange on their way home."Melanie's ex, I think." Holly answered, watching them go in different directions."Come on, it's rude to listen in," he said. "I'd like to try your hot chocolate anyway.""Ann told you?" Holly asked."Quite a few things," her father nodded. "She mentioned jumpers too."--------"How did it go?" Lydia asked the second Melanie got home."Fine." Melanie said vaguely as she went to her room, the door shutting loudly indicating she wanted to talk.Lydia sighed and stood up, putting her book down and going upstairs.She walked in without knocking and found Melanie sat on her bed, fiddling with a large pearl she kept on her bedside."What happened?" Lydia asked."He knows about all of us." Melanie explained. "Emilie told him."She put the creamy whit
