27 Cheers To That

"cmon please" I whined
"No you're not doing my makeup it's Christmas Eve"
"What's that got to do with it?" I pouted "Please can I do your makeup?"
"Fine" he said rolling his eyes
"She's got you whipped mate" I sat down on his lap facing him my knees either side
"Yep." I agreed wiping the chocolate that was in the corner of his lips "You better have saved some cake for me."
"You didn't say you wanted me to"
"Adam you know I did" I whined a little annoyed he'd eaten the last bit. I could tell he felt bad for winding me up and he gently gripped my sides since he couldn't hug me properly
"I'm only joking. There's some there for you." I smiled and tipped his chin up so I could start putting the eyeliner on
"Thank you" I said beaming. He let go of my waist and started poking Dom with his hand that was free on that side "Stop fucking moving Warrington" I cursed gripping his chin slightly so at least that part of him was still. Dom seemingly found the whole thing amusing and proceeded to film what was going on. At least I thought he was filming it until he started speaking as though he was responding
"What are you doing?" Adam asked him. He turned to face him for a quick second and he turned the phone around to face him
"Just talking to Mikey."
"You're whipped as fuck mate" Mikey said
"Yeah I know." Adam said laughing and rolling his eyes before turning round to face me again. I was just about to start his lipstick but Jem entered the room
"Hey Jem. Just doing Adams makeup" she looked up at Dom confused and at first I didn't get what she was getting at then it hit me "Don't worry. Princess over here ain't my type" I tapped his cheek lightly
"Ooh burn" Mikey said over the phone
"Shut it Michael" I snapped which seemed to work and Dom laughed at the way it instantly shut him up "You staying down here? Watch me do it. It's funny as fuck I assure you"
"No. I'm fine."
"Okay. See you later then" I smiled and she nodded slowly before walking out of the room "that was weird" I said resuming my task of getting the lipstick on Adam
"Yeah. I wonder what made her think there was something strange going on?" Adam said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and laughed at him
"Stop talking" I cursed and he laughed at my frustration. He eventually stopped moving his mouth long enough for me to apply the lipstick and I sat back admiring what I'd done. I sat back too far however and nearly fell by luckily he caught me by gripping my waist once more. It took a moment for me to regain my breath and calm down but I eventually did
"You alright?"
"Yeah. I'm fine" I said taking a deep breath and moving so I was less at risk of falling again "I think it looks good. Mikey what do you think?" I took the camera from Dom and put it right into Adams face
"Looks good."
"If you were a girl would you shag him?"
"Lexi!" Adam exclaimed shocked at what if just said
"What? Was just asking." I said shrugging. I turned the camera to face me "So what do you say?"
"Yeah I guess so. He looks kind of hot."
"Winged eyeliner suits him eh?" I joked earning a playful shove from Adam "Alright gonna get you go Mike. Talk later." I handed him back to Dom who said his goodbyes too and then hung up. Adams eyes landed on the chain around my neck and he very carefully took one hand from my waist to touch it
"What's that?"
"It's a chain"
"I can see that. I meant what's on it?"
"You can't see it until you open your present. I told you to open it early"
"Go get it then" I got up off his lap and rummaged around in the presents carefully before pulling out the present I got him
"Found it" I declared before walking over and sitting back down practically straddling his lap.
"You like sitting there?"
"Yeah. Now open it" he unwrapped it and tossed the paper aside before opening the box that was inside it "It's not an expensive one. Don't have a lot of money saved. But I thought you'd like it cus you play guitar and all and it's something special from me." He smiled
"I love it." He took it out from the box and immediately put it round his neck showing Dom proudly. It wasn't anything much. Just a simple chain with a white guitar pick on it and a black heart
"She really thought about that one. She always gives the best presents like that" I smiled
"And it matches mine" he gently pulled the chain out of my shirt and held the guitar pick in his hands
"Why is yours broken?"
"Cus you helped fix it" I said honestly. He immediately dropped the chain and It lightly hit my chest. He looked up and into my eyes and I didn't quite know how to read his expression "I mean everyone did. But I thought you needed reminding of that the most." This caused him to break and I immediately fell down into him hugging him tight. I saw the flash of a camera but didn't pull away just yet accepting the fact that Dom was gonna take pictures and it was not worth breaking the hug to stop him "At least take one with my face in it" I whined before getting up and facing him. Adam did the same and I pushed my cheek into his to get into the frame of the tiny Polaroid photo. We smiled as he took it and I immediately made grabby hands to take the photos from him. I looked through the others while the last one developed and I smiled when I finally got to it
"You wanna keep that?" Adam said pointing to the last picture. I nodded and smiled "you keep it then. Put it somewhere safe"
"Gonna go put them upstairs for now."
"Okay. Go do that then" I got down and smiled at Dom
"Thanks for taking such good photos."
"Thanks for being such a good model for them." I rolled my eyes and kissed him
"I'm gonna get a shower. See you in a bit."
"Okay."

Adams POV
"This is for you" Dom said handing me a Polaroid of the two of us hugging "Thought that you'd want one. Put it in your wallet or whatever"
"You want me to have a picture of me and your girlfriend in my wallet?"
"Adam let it go man. Its not that weird. She's lucky to have you" he looked into my eyes for a few seconds to emphasise the sincerity of his statement
"I'm lucky to have her. I'm glad you found her when you did."
"So am I. Mum still doesn't know." I looked down trying not to give away the fact Lexi has already told her "I'm guessing she does?"
"Lexi told her. But from the sound of it she was trying to explain something important to your mum"
"It's fine. It's about time she knew anyway. You want a beer?"
"It's 11 in the morning Dom"
"And it's Christmas Eve!" He cheered standing up and twirling round in a circle
"Yeah mate. Go on then." He smiled and walked to the kitchen whilst I put the photograph in the back of my phone case. I smiled at it as it sat perfectly in the back. I truly was lucky to have them all. But especially both Dom and Lexi.
"You alright there?" Dom whispered making me jump when I realised he was right behind me looking at what I was looking at "Have a beer and stop being so soppy." He slumped down on the sofa beside me and put his feet up on the coffee table.
"I'm just smiling at a photo that's all"
"You've gone soft Warrington."
"You act like I haven't always had a soft spot for her."
"Yeah but now you're letting her sit on your lap and do your makeup. You're whipped as fuck man"
"Cheers to you guys" I said holding up my beer bottle
"Cheers to friends that are like fucking family" he said before tapping it against mine and taking a sip
"Yeah. That. Cheers to fucking that"
