"Oh, you what ? It is Christmas ." He whined.
"Yes, thank you for reminding me of that yet again. Geez, that's the tenth time today. And anyway, it's not Christmas for another two weeks." I stated, walking into the kitchen.
got up and followed me closely, clutching the object in his hand.
" , you're not still chasing my girlfriend round the house with miseltoe are you ?" laughed as he looked on at his friend.
"Tis the season to be jolly..." mumbled, settling down at the kitchen table.
" ! What have i told you about licking the bowl before i tell you that you can ?" I sighed, lightly whacking the back of 's head.
He pulled a face and rubbed his head.
"Ouch. Oh, but . You know i'm a sucker for your cakes." He whined.
"You're a sucker for my everything." I winked at him, placing the now empty bowl in the sink.
"Did you hear that ?" poked in the side.
"Yes i did." smiled back.
"He doesn't need to be jealous." I butted in, reading 's mind.
"And why's that ?" He probed.
"Because." I started, taking the miseltoe out of 's grip.
"He's the only one that gets to kiss me under the miseltoe." I grinned, placing it over 's head and bending down to kiss him.
"Ouch." managed, not taking his eyes off of me and .
"Cooor . Put him down and give me some grub." laughed as he entered the room, rubbing his stomach slightly.
"I'd love to , but your dear friend here helped himself to the cake mix. So there is no 'grub'." I giggled as 's face dropped and he looked at as though he'd just torn his world apart.
"What ? It wasn't me." shrugged, nervously rubbing the back of his head again.
"You should wipe your mouth before you use it to talk." sighed, plonking himself down at the table sloppily.
"Well, well, well. Aren't we all happy little elves ?" chirped, clapping his hands together loudly.
I chuckled as the rest of the boys all moaned loudly, clearly bored and not impresed by 's enthusiasm. Even if it was sarcastic enthusiasm.
"As much as i'd love to stay and have fun with you lot, i've got some shopping to do." I smiled, putting the last of the cutlery away.
"No fair. How come you get all the fun and all we get to do is just sit around here all day ?" complained.
"I'm not stopping you from coming shopping with me if that's what you really want . But i don't want none of your bullshit man sighs when I take too long in one shop like does. And don't complain if your feet hurt either." I said, looking in 's direction afterwards.
"Whaat ? After hours of walking around i think i'm entitled to mention that my feet are beginning to hurt slightly. And you spent half an hour in that shop the last time, and you didn't even buy me anything, or buy anything for me to look at in the bedroom." stated.
I rolled my eyes at him before pecking him lightly on the lips.
"Bye kids. Be good for me. , you're in charge. Come on ." I said, dragging him through the door.
"Are you sure you're not gay ? "
" , for the last time; NO I AM NOT GAY !"
I laughed as other shoppers stared at his rather loud outburst.
"I just find that so difficult to believe when you're this talented at shopping."
"Well I am just amazing. And wait a minute, since when did shopping become a talent ? All you do is pick things up and pay for them. Hardly difficult is it ?"
"Well you haven't moaned once, and we've been out three hours now. You know all of the boys sizes, what clothes they'll look amazing in, what clothes will show off their small beer bellies and what they all want for christmas."
"What's your point ?"
"You're a man. You're suppossed to be useless at shopping." I laughed.
"Oh be quiet you." He smiled, draping his arm around my shoulders losely.
"How much longer until it will start being a good idea to ring the police ?" fussed, walking backwards and fowards continuously in the living room.
" . Never. They've gone shopping, stop worrying about her." soothed, trying to calm down.
"It's not i'm worried about. It's . Seriously, you've never seen anything like it when goes shopping. She's like a maniac." He said, finishing with a small chuckle.
"Love you too babe." I joked as i joined them in the living room, overhearing his speech about me.
"Why do you always catch me out when i say things like that ?" He whined and then suddenly realised the absence in the room.
"Where's ?" He asked, sounding slightly panicky.
"He's out the front getting some of the bags out of the boot." I shrugged, raising an eyebrow at .
He sighed loudly, his shoulders sagging.
"I can't believe that you were genuinely worried about his welfare with me. Can i not be trusted with him or something ?" I laughed.
"No, it's not that just... !" shouted, rushing over to and hugging him tightly.
"What is it ? Is it my mum ? Sister ? Oh please no. NOT ?" shouted, working himself up into a fit.
"No. But i really don't want to be around when that skanky old teddy of yours finally clocks it." laughed.
"He's not going to 'clock it'."
"No one lives forever ."
"Yes, but is different. He's a teddy bear."
's face seemed to crinkle with confusion and he looked genuinely upset at the thought of losing his best friend from Day 1.
"Please . Just one chocolate ?"
"Just one . And i mean it. If i catch you by that tree one more time i will ring up and tell her about the photo of her you keep under your pillow."
I laughed as his mouth dropped wide open and he stopped chomping on the little tree chocolate.
"You bitch." He complained, and then smiled, poking me in the ribs.
"SNOW IS FALLING, ALL AROUND ME, 'S LAUGHING, AT 'S BUM. BUM BUM BUM. WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PARTY TONIGHHHT." shouted all the way from the top of the stairs as he raced down them to join us in the lviing room.
" , what are you on ?" I giggled.
"And what's wrong with 's bum ? I'm not complaining, and i'm certainly not laughing." added.
"Alright , i know my ass is amazing, i don't need you to rub it to let me know." I giggled, shocked as i turned around to be met by 's face inches away from mine.
"Sorry about that babe. I was just checking out what was so funny." He winked at me.
I laughed and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
He smiled back.
"I've got to go babe."
"What ? Where ? , it's Christmas Eve. I wanted to spend the day with you."
"I know. I'm sorry. This is just really important. I'll be back tonight. And i'll make it up to you, i promise." He reasoned, taking hold of my hands.
I looked down at our hands entwined with each other and sighed lightly.
"Ok then. But if you don't have a big surprise for me tonight then i have no choice but to sleep with ." I sulked, poking my tongue out at in retaliation.
started to laugh loudly.
"And what is so funny about that ?"
" 's in on the act with me tonight. So that's just not possible." smiled back at me broadly.
"Hey. I don't mind helping out ! If the lady needs someone to sleep with to get back at you, i'm more than happy to be her bitch." chirped.
turned his head to and quickly gave him the finger to show just how unimpressed he was by his 'kind gesture'.
"I'll be back. And tonight will be amazing. I love you." He turned his attention back to me, leaning down slightly, pressing his lips firm against mine.
"I love you too. Now go on, get out of my site. Before i regret agreeing to you ruining my christmas eve." I joked, pushing him foward slightly in the direction of the door.
"You two had better be on your best behaviour." warned to and as he let me push him outside.
"We will." They said together, a cheeky smile playing on their faces.
"Where the hell is that boy ?" I shouted loudly, followed by a fit of giggles for no particular reason.
"Haha, oopsy. Somehow i think we may all be off 's christmas list when he comes back you know ?" laughed.
"Well you know what FUCK HIM. Cozz he's just left this beaut of a girl here, annnd we have been forbidden to have sexytimee. He's just gone and ruined my christmas right there !" rambled.
"AHA. What were you expectingg ? Me wrapped up under the magical flasshy plant over there for you two ?" I asked, attempting to point to the christmas tree in the corner of the room.
"Yeaaah, too right. And what is so wrong with that ? We thought maybe, seeing as it's Christmas and everything, that he might let us 'borrow' you. Just for the day." continued from where had left off.
"That would be the best Christmas present EVER." finished.
He and both looked up to the ceiling, staring continuously at nothing in particular.
"Alright you two, if you could stop you're perverted thoughts now, that would be great." I smiled, pushing them both, knocking them out of their daydream
"DOOOOOOR." suddenly shouted.
Me and looked at him as if to say 'And ? Do summink about it then !'.
"I'll gooo." smiled eventually.
"COOOOOR, . This is a cracker ! Even I'm sure that you'll be glad you didn't sleep with us tonight." chuckled as he walked back into the living room.
I turned to look at him confused and then broke out in a smile as i noticed what he was talking about.
In the doorway was , stood in a Santa's outfit, complete with kneeling down next to him in a little elve's costume.
"Ohhh my goodness." I beamed, walking up to .
"Yo . What's up with the face ? I thought Santa's elves were happy little things." stated.
"Yes, well i'm pretty sure that Santa's elves find it much easier to slip into these little costumes than i do. I mean seriously dude, i'm not even sure i'll be able to have kids after tonight. It's really tight." He complained, attempting to 're-arrange' himself.
"That's alright . No need to worry about that. You have to find a bird stupid enough to go near you first, before worrying about fathering kids." laughed at his own joke loudly.
"Ok then, which one of you two idiots is to blame for letting drink tonight then ?" changed the subject quickly.
and both pointed at each other, a dumb expression plastered on their faces.
I giggled at them and took 's hand, leading him over to the sofa.
Taking my seat on his lap i kissed his cheek lightly.
As the others started to unwrap their presents and chat contently, wrapped his arms around me tightly, pulling me backwards on the sofa with him as he sunk back into it, making himself comfortable.
"Was i worth the wait ?"
"Most definately." I smiled back at him, gently prodding the padding that was suppossed to be his belly.
He leaned in closer to me, wrapping his arms around me tighter.
I felt his lips touch my ear as they formed the words;
"Marry me ?"
I turned my head to him abruptly.
"Really ?"
"Of course."
I smiled at him.
"Yes."
His face joined mine as we had matching smiles playing on our faces.
"As long as you know, a is for life, not just for Christmas."
He laughed at my stupidity.
"I think i can handle it." He finished with a wink.
Wrapping my finger around his fake white beard i bit down on my bottom lip.
"Any chance you can keep the costume just one more night ?"
THE END
