Slapping the woman beside me, I wake up immediately like I do every year for this holiday. I used to celebrate this occasion with my roommate, what's her name and a simple call to mom but it’s different this year. I hit the woman on her butt this time going to shake her a bit more, earning a groan from her, “Wake up already or I swear I'll push you off the bed you wild sleeper.”

I hear a loud sigh before she lifts her head looking at the alarm clock, “It’s six in the morning Mia. Give me… like a bunch of hours.”

She groans again as a loud knock sounds at the door, “Is she awake yet!?”

I smile knowing I remember the young woman stating she’d do an all nighter because she simply could. I mean I passed out at three but I've run on a few hours of sleep before. I sigh knowing what I have to do but quickly so I wouldn't get caught so easily. But plans are only made for the wise so I swiftly make work of pushing her off the bed receiving a yelp before a thud.

I quickly leave the bed, opening the door to a wide-faced woman stopping me in my tracks for a moment, “Go Go Go She’s coming!”

I hear my name calling me and Julia rush down the stairs. We make our way to the living room hurriedly sitting down looking at the lit christmas tree thanks to me. I can’t believe Alina was just going to put the presents on the couch!

When the woman finally makes it downstairs with her hair truffled, a sleep shirt stuck on the friction of her bra and still with a morning face on, I continue to believe that’s the love of my life, “Is this what I'm going to be dealing with every year?”

“I got pushed out of my own bed!”

“Those were casualties that had to be taken by my love”, She sighs rubbing her arm going to sit between Julia and i.

“Alright go on Julia.”, I kissed her cheek before leaving her side picking through the branches of the tree where I left her first gift. Thanks to the new salary I had been put on after interviewing as an actual accountant for her company, I could afford it. She didn’t just want me to be her assistant and since I was practically doing half the work why not get paid for doing it full time.

Taking my place back where I was , I placed the small blue wrapped box in front of her excited to see her reaction. She only smiles before ripping into it like Julia’s doing with the large wrapped box that had her name on it. I knew what it was after being told what kind of laptop she’d wanted. A soft gasp brings me back to Alina watching her face light up at the sapphire pendant that caught her eyes days prior.

“Thank you…”, I could see her eyes water running her finger over the new jewelry making me think otherwise if she had really liked it, “Don’t think too hard Mia. These are happy tears, it’s just been years since I received something from someone… in your position.”

“Mom, don't say it like that, we worked on this!”

“Ok i meant as my current girlfriend.”, I peck her lips before Julia jumps in thanking us for her gift.

“Wait, didn't aunt Soph tell us to come in the morning?” The random question from Julia confuses me as it’s literally so early in the morning right now.174Please respect copyright.PENANASLJYVuJCNK

“Not this early plus you have like a few more things you need to open. Specifically the one on the right which I spent way more time wrapping unlike what Alina did with that.”, She laughs at that seemingly choosing in her mind to force herself away from the action.174Please respect copyright.PENANAx3C8d0b1HA

“Well i’ll be back in a minute i gotta check up on something”, I thought something was definitely up with Alina’s bright smile silently encouraging her to leave.

“Planned in advance?”

Alina grinning again gets up, sneaking around the tree pulling a box similar in size to mine but a little smaller. She also grabs ahold of another box that was visibly seen under the tree.

“I was wondering who that was for.”
174Please respect copyright.PENANAIwTcFSr1wg
“I bet you were nosey. Ok first this.”, She hands me the larger box and I start to open it. Once the lid is off a sly smirk makes itself onto me as I look down at a few different kinds of lingerie all in my favorite color red.

“Why miss Write? I didn't know you were gonna be kinky on our first Christmas together.”

“Oh hush you did say you wanted a few sets anyway. But there's also something else under that.'' I lift the garments moving some paper from a hard object, soon finding it to be a strap on,” I’ll be trying that later on tonight with your consent of course.”
174Please respect copyright.PENANAaYRUb4iRQY
I bite my lip at a loss of words forgetting how much of a top the woman is beside me. I simply nod before she passes the smaller box to me, “Now for this one… I don’t want to make the same mistake rushing into this. Uhm just… go on and open it.”

I make quick work of the wrapping thinking it must be jewelry, maybe a necklace that might even match the one I got her. My mind didn’t or just couldn’t handle that other possibility. But here it was, “That necklace had caught my eye because it matched what I got you. I guess it was fate that they reached each other again, don't you think?”

I continue to just stare down at the silver ring aligned with another sapphire gem in the middle and two white gems on either side of it. It was beautiful to say nonetheless. I throw my arms around the woman repeatedly kissing her to show my appreciation, “Thank you so much god i didn’t know you could make me love you even more than i already do.”
174Please respect copyright.PENANAD3SwqlAyk5
“Uhm so we’ll come back around to the meaning of the ring later on alright?”174Please respect copyright.PENANAcBa7dUSEZk

“Oh most definitely Alina but just hold me I need to sink this all in right now.”
