You're a worldwide famous actress who auditions for a romance movie and gets the part. However, the person who plays your love interest becomes the one you can't seem to get away from. You were never one who believed in love but, there's a first for...
Recently, Chris has been really touchy and affectionate. He's usually always this way but, it's like it's been turned up 10 notches. I'm not complaining though. It's been tough for the both of us and he deserves all the love he can possibly get. Especially since I isolated myself for a little while. Not intentionally of course but, we both were going through it. I'm currently sitting on our bed, binging the Office and I suddenly heard a hard thump downstairs followed by an "ouch" from Chris. My eyebrows furrowed together as I turned my body towards the open door so he could hear me, "Are you okay, babe?" "Yeah, I'm okay-woah!" He said out of breath before another huge thump hit the ground, crashing into something. I shook my head and got up from the bed to the top of the steps, "Chris? I'm coming down there!" I said as my foot went down the first step.
"No! And you're gonna wake up Dodger!" Chris whisper shouted before sliding across the floor to my view, looking up at me with his hands gesturing me to stay where I am. I nod my head and whisper, "Are you still not done?" "It's almost-" "Can I come see it please-" "Nope! Not until midnight. I want it to be special!" He whispered. All night, Chris has been doing something "spectacular" as he said it. All he told me was to stay upstairs and relax. I don't know what he's up to but, I'm definitely excited for it. "Fine. You have about-" I looked down at my watch, "12 minutes. I want to see what's going on down there." I pouted and bat my eyelashes at him, "You see, that would usually effect me.....and it kind of already is-but! Only 12 more minutes, love." "It's 11 now." I replied making him chuckle, "You'll see what I'm up to." He smiled before dashing away into the living room. I couldn't see much but, I saw a warm yellow glow reflect on the ground, causing my curiosity to grow even more.
I shrugged and went back to our room. And instead of watching the rest of the episode, I just picked up one of my favorite books, Romeo and Juliet. I know, sounds cheesy but, I find it quite fascinating. I read that until it was exactly midnight and I heard the sound of steps running up the stairs. I turned to see Chris with the cheekiest smile on his face, a Santa hat on, and holding something behind his back. I see where this is going. I raised an eyebrow at him with a grin, "Whatcha reading?" He asked before giving me a peck, "Romeo and Juliet. Whatcha wearing?" I asked as I lightly flicked the fuzzy ball that dangled from the tip of the hat. "Don't you mean what are we wearing?" He asked before pulling another Santa hat from behind him and placing it on my head. "Chris, does this have to do with anything that you did downstairs?" I asked shutting the book and getting off the bed, "Maybe. How about we find out?" He asked as I nodded in response, "Alright. Close your eyes."
I did as he told me and next thing I knew, I was lifted up off the ground and being held bridal style. I giggled and clung close to him as he proceeded to go down the steps until he placed me down and covered my eyes. "Ready?" "Yes!" I replied as I jumped a little and bit my lip in excitement. He slowly removed his hands and revealed the whole entire living room that was decorated in top to down Christmas decor. There were stockings hung on top of the fireplace, a wreath displaying in the middle, candles lit on the coffee table, red and green roping, ribbons, and there was a huge tree with no decorations. I gasped in response and covered my mouth as I walked around the room. "This is.....amazing." He walked closer and wrapped his arms around me from behind while slowly rocking me a bit. "I know how much you love Christmas and I wanted to do something special for you. Especially this technically is our first Christmas together and at home." He said before kissing my shoulder.

(Pretend that there's no decorations on the tree yet.)
"I also left the tree naked so, we could decorate that together." I turned and wrapped my arms around his neck before excitedly kissing him. "You are incredible, you know that? You did all this for little ole me?" "Anything for you." He said tapping my nose and kissing me again, except a little longer this time. Breaking away, "You left the tree naked?" I asked mocking his poor choice of words, "Oh, boy. That won't go away anytime, will it?" He asked slightly smiling and pulling himself away, "Wait! Come on, that was funny!" I joked, pulling his arms back around me as I looked up at his eyes, "Mhm well, next time you slip up, you're not going to be safe." "Those are the chances I'm willing to take, Evans." I answered biting my lip, hiding my smile.
"Also, why did I have to wait at exactly midnight?" I asked, "I wanted us to start the month of December off right by doing something each day up until Christmas." "So, like the 25 days of Christmas?" "Exactly. And we're gonna start off with some Christmas karaoke!" He said turning on a karaoke machine that was hooked up to the tv.
"Then tomorrow, we can start putting up decorations." "Sounds like a plan." We sang the night away with Christmas karaoke songs and we were practically screaming out Last Christmas. "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart!" Chris sung, "But the very next day, you gave it away!" I chanted, "This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special!" We sung together, dancing around and playing with Dodger, who was now up, during the break in the song. Suddenly, Chris turned off the song and began typing another song in. "Aw, why'd you change it?" I asked, "Can you sing this song?" He asked as the beginning of All I Want for Christmas started playing, "Chris-" I whined, "Please? For me, Mon Cherie." He added smirking at me. He's lucky I'm a sucker when he speaks to me in French. I playfully shook my head as Dodger jumped on the couch next to his dad and began, "I.....don't want a lot for Christmas. There's just one thing I need. I don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know. Make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas is......you."
I continued the song, putting on a performance for the two as they cheered me on until the song ended. "Bravo, Ms. Bennett. Enchanting as per usual." He said pulling me down into his lap. "Yeah, I can say the same for you. You killed Jingle Bell Rock." "Yeah I did, didn't I?" He joked before kissing me. He yawned and held onto me tight. "Ready for bed?" "What?! No, it's only 12:30." "Chris, it's 3 am." "Really? Okay, then yeah I'm ready." He sighed as I giggled at his sleepy state. "Let's go, boy." He said before lifting me up and walking up the steps. "I have legs, you know?" "Yeah but, you deserve to be carried wherever you go, Princess. Give those pretty legs some rest." We reached our room and he gently placed me down as we made our way to the bathroom to wash up. Then, we got comfortable in bed, getting in our natural position where he's laying his head on my chest or vice versa.
"Thank you for today, Chris. I loved every single bit of it." "Tout pour toi, mon amour (Anything for you, my love)." He whispered. "I'm going to really have to step up my French now because I never know what you're saying." I joked as he chuckled lowly. I slowly ran my fingers through his hair and massaged his scalp as I heard a relieved sigh. "That feels good." Chris sleepily admits.
My phone started going off and I looked to see that it was my Instagram. Looking to see what all the fuss was about, I saw a video of me singing from half an hour ago on Chris's page with a caption saying, "I'm all yours, love! Can't get enough of that voice!" and it got half a million views. That's insane, I didn't even know he was recording me! The even crazier part is that people liked it. I'm still getting used to even sing in public since I became an actress. I looked down at him ready to bug him about it but, he was already fast asleep. I sighed, kissed his cheek, and covered him up before saying, "I'm so ridiculously in love with you, Evans."
