"C'mon ladies, downstairs" Debbie yelled calling us.
We, slowly, went downstairs, grabbed some coffee and sat on the couch.
She handed a piece of paper to Amita and Lou.
"Ok, I need you to go grab some stuffs at the addresses I've written in there.
Amita with Constance, Lou with y/n and Tammy with me.
Ball9 here's your list of shit to do and Rose, today you'll meet 'for the first' time Daphne Kluger" she said.
We all went in our own room and put on make up and wigs.
Lou and I also wore a pair of sunglasses and we all left in less than a quarter.
I was walking towards the car when Lou harshly grabbed the car keys from my hands and didn't even gave me the chance to reply.

The trip lasted like 45 minutes, we spent the whole time singing random song and teasing each other.
Before getting down Lou fixed my make up and wig causing my cheeks to burn.

"Good morning, I'm Jessica Detch and she's Carolyn Smith, there should be some packs for us" Lou said chewing her gum loudly and pulling her glasses a bit lower.
The young girl on the other side of the counter checked her list searching our names.
"Yes, two packs for miss Detch and one for miss Smith.
I just need your id" we gave her the fake id Debbie had given us and in less then 10 minutes we were done.
We put the packs in the trunk and got back to the car.

Debbie
Go buy something to eat for the 24, 25 and 26th
We'll have guests
>12.26

I read Lou Debbie's text, she snorted and started the car.

I already knew that it was impossible to avoid food during Christmas and I didn't want to ruin the holiday to me and the others so I was already working on the acceptance of the fact that I had to eat.
"How many guests are we having?"
"I have no idea"
We bought a lot, maybe too much, food but we had been told so.
When we arrived at the theater there was no one but us so we cooked something while waiting for the others.


I woke up at the feeling of plump lips against my skin.
I loved waking up beside that bright angel who stared at me sweetly with those blue diamonds.
"Merry Christmas eve, honey"
"You too, love" I said still sleepy, as I realized what I'd said I wide my eyes.
"I'm sorry I-" she cut me off by kissing my lips.
"You just gave me the best Christmas present I could ever wish for" she chuckled on my lips and began to kiss me.
Not long after that, Lou was on top of me, kissing me deeply.
Her lips reached my neck and she began to kiss it causing me to gasp lightly.
"What the fuck-" as we heard Tammy's voice we pulled apart.
I noticed she was about to leave so I caught her wrist and closed the door not letting her be able to leave.
"Tammy, please don't-"
"Y/n, fuck, she's twice you're age.
She's your mother age for God's sake" I motioned her to lower her voice.
Lou was staring at the scene not pronouncing a single word.
"I'm a consenting adult"
"You're still more than 20 years younger"
"As I've just said I'm an adult and I can decide on my life, I just beg you to not tell Debbie"
She nodded and snorted.
"Be more careful" she said and left.
I looked at Lou with my eyes still wide and finally began to breathe properly as the door closed.
"If it were Debbie I would already be skinned" Lou said in a bitter chuckle.
I sat beside her.
"I don't think she'd be this pissed" I said crossing our fingers and playing with the rings on hers.
"I think she would, not that really care" she said kissing the back of my hand and standing up.

We wore disgusting Christmas sweaters which Tammy had given us and went downstairs.
All of them were eating Debbie's apple cake.
Debbie used to cook that cake every Christmas eve, it was one of our traditions and I was happy to share it with the group.
I neared Debbie, who was cutting the cake in slices while everyone was already on the couch.
"frohe Heiligabend, Mutter"
"frohe Heiligabend, Lieber"

-translate-

"Merry Christmas eve, mum/darling"
She smiled, laid the knife on the table and handed me a cup of coffee.
"There's so sugar in it" she whispered and gave me a little smile in which I saw fear and sadness.
"M-may I have a little slice?" I asked pointing at the cake.
"Sure" I saw her eyes almost shining at that sentence.
She cut one of the slices she'd already cut earlier in two and handed me a plate with one of the two halves on it.
I sat between Daphne and Lou and I tried to focus on the conversation rather than the calories.
"D, this cake is amazing" Constance shouted, leaving the empty plate on the table.
Tammy stood up and walked towards the record player.
She played a vinyl from Micheal Bublé so we sang the whole time and danced together it seemed the scene of a movie.
We didn't eat lunch 'cause we'd eaten breakfast kinda late so it helped me a lot.
    
In the evening, when everyone was in their rooms I went downstairs and placed my presents under the tree.
I laid on the bed, not facing Lou and took a deep breath.
"What are we?"
"Whatever you want us to be" she said clenching her arms around me.
I took a deep breath and filled my lungs with her addicting scent.
"What do you want us to be?" she asked.
"I don't think a word to define it exists" I said kissing slightly her lips.
She smiled, nodded and began to brush my hair with her fingers.
"Then we can be everything and nothing"
Those words echoed in my head till Morpheus welcomed me in his world.


"Merry Christmas" Constance shouted slamming the door open and causing us to lose a beat.
"Merry Christmas" I said trying to cover my eyes from the sudden light.
"Constance, fade away if you don't want it to be your last Christmas" Lou said hiding her face in between the fabric of my hoodie.
Constance closed the door and left us alone, in the sweet darkness.
I felt Lou's arms suddenly wrapping me tight.
"Can we just stay here a while" she asked with a sleepy hoarse voice.
I chuckled and hugged her back.
Our legs crossed and her cheek rested in the cave of my neck, on my collarbone.
I sensed her taking slow deep breaths as I petted her head.
"I'm addicted to your scent" she said causing me to chuckle awkwardly.

A little later we went downstairs.
"Constance, leave that cake, it's late to have breakfast" Debbie shouted while running after Constance.
"What are you two still doing in your pjs? Guests will be here in a few" Debbie said pushing us gently toward the stairs.
I wore a pair of black jeans and a dark red blazer with a white turtleneck underneath and platform docs.
I straightened my hair and put on some makeup.
Lou was wearing one of her usual suits, she was fucking breathtaking.
As I heard the intercom ringing I ran downstairs.
I heard familiar voices but didn't recognize them until I saw their faces.
My legs weaken but Lou caught me from behind.
"H-how is this-"
"frag nicht, umarme Oma"

-translate-

"Don't ask, hug granny" a tall thin woman said opening her arms wide.
I almost ran and sank in her arms, hugging her tigh.

"So, Leiber, what do you do in your life?" Ruben asked lighting this cigar.
"I-I am an actress" I said concerned about their judgement.
"And the thief?" one of my cousins asked.
"I don-"
"Yes, she's part of the heist" Debbie said stopping me from answering.
I barely had forgotten that I was part of a family of huge thieves.
I nodded a little bit disgusted from myself.
"Deborah, wird du uns etwas über diesen Überfall reden?
bist du immer noch davon überzeugt?"

-translate-

"Deborah, will you tell us anything about the heist?
Are you still convinced you wanna do it?" Ruben asked a little concerned.
"Ja, ich bin sicher und ich kann euch nur sagen, dass diesen Überfall in Zukunft in jedem Geschichtsbuch zu finden sein wird"

-translate-

"Yes, I'm sure and I can only tell you that this heist will be on every history book"
They couldn't stay over a lot cause they had a plane to Germany to catch in the afternoon so after lunch we did a little of card playing and then they left.
Suddenly I noticed that mines weren't the only presents under the Christmas three.

We did the dishes and by 'we' I mean Amita and Rose did the dishes then we all sat in front of the tree, ready to open our presents.
The most widespread presents were vibrators and weed and, being honest, anyone has never enough of them so no one complained.

"I have another present for you" Lou said closing the door of our room behind her.
She opened her wardrobe and hid something behind her back.
"Give me your hands and close your eyes" I did as I've been told.
As I felt something like a ring gliding down my right ring finger, I unconsciously bit my lip to hide the wide smile which was hard to contain, immediately afterwords I felt a cold grip on my wrists.
I didn't even had the time to open my eyes that my back smashed against the wall and my hands were pinned above my head.
As her lips slightly touched the skin on my neck someone knocked on the door so I hid part of my body behind her.
She snorted and then 'gently invited' the person behind the door to enter.
"Get lost" she said annoyed.
Constance entered anyways, wearing a pijama printed with ducks and followed by Leslie.
"Why are you this frustrated? Did we interrupt something?" Constance smirked.
"Not at all, what's up?" I said before Lou could answer.
"We suggested playing truth or dare and to sleep all together downstairs and Debbie agreed so this is an official invitation for you two to come"
"Constance, I'm 45, I-"
"I'm coming" I said cutting Lou off.
As they left I extended my wrists to Lou.
"We'll continue this later, now come downstairs" she took the handcuffs off and chucked.
I threw her a pillow, took mine and ran downstairs dragging her with me.
They were all sitting on the carpet, round the little table, filled with alcol, cigarettes, joints, candies, chips and popcorns.
"I'm too old for this shit" Debbie said sitting beside Tammy and laying a closed beer in the middle of the table.
"Alright, little review of the rules.
If you wanna skip a dare you can ask for a truth and vice versa, I you wanna skip both then there's the penitence.
The person who makes the beer explode is allowed to do a truth and a dare which is the same for everyone"
The first one spinning the bottle was Amita, who got Baller.
"Truth"
"Have you ever has a cush on someone in this group?"
"I did" she said taking a long breath from her joint immediately afterwards.
"Who?" Daphne asked emphatic.
"That wasn't the question"

"Tammy, truth or dare" Lou asked.
"Truth" she said chuckling cause of the alcol.
"How old were the youngest and the oldest person you've slept with?" I noticed Tammy's face getting dire, she shot some Vodka and looked at Lou straight in the eyes.
"Dare"
"Make out to the sexiest person in this room" Tammy chuckled and suddenly turned to her right and began to make out with Debbie, who glide her hand on Tammy's neck and kissed her back immediately.
"Thank God I'm drunk and high" I said turning around and popping a beer.
"Shit" Tammy whispered when they pulled away and Debbie to chuckle.

"Y/n" Amita said.
"Dare"
"Tease Lou"
"Truth"
"Have you ever had sex with someone in this room?" I chuckled as I felt everyone's eyes on me.
"Penitence"
"Shit, someone has something to hide" Leslie said.
Amita looked at the others asking for an idea for a penitence.
"Fake an orgasm" Lou chuckled putting on the floor the empty bottle of Vodka.
All of them chuckled and agreed with the penitence but not Debbie.
"C'mon she's my daughter, how the fuck did I end up here?" she said sarcastically.
All of them were saying 'orgasm' in a chorus.
"Alright fine" I said.
Tammy pushed her hands on Debbie's ears so I began that hilarious scene.
As that carnage finished I took a shot of Tequila and motioned Tammy to let Debbie's ears go.
"That was intense" Daphne chuckled.

"Rose, truth or dare?"
"D-dare" she stuttered.
"Do two salt, Tequila and lime with Daphne"
"Two what?" Daphne asked.
I looked at their faces and, unlike Lou, they all seemed to not understand what I was talking about.
"I'll show you" Lou said pouring herself a shot of Tequila and nearing one slice of lime and some salt.
She faced me and whispered in my ear.
"Open your mouth, little one"
I gulped loudly and slightly opened my lips.
Our eye contact didn't break even for a second.
She stuck her thumb in my mouth and made me suck on it, then draw a line on my neck with my own saliva to glue the salt.
She blocked the slice of lime in between my teeth and motioned Rose to look at her carefully.
Debbie and Tammy were talking and not even taking a little peek towards us.
As I felt her tongue on my neck, I realized she'd glued the salt on my sweet spot. It was tough to contain the moans but I did it until she slightly bit the skin under my ear causing me to gasp softly and Debbie and Tammy's attention to switch on us.
As Lou gulped the Tequila, her hair moved and went behind her shoulders for a moment so I could see the hickeys I'd marked her with.
'I'd been discreet' I thought to myself, I'd marked her only on one side of her neck, where it was possible to cover them with the hair, unlike her.
She'd marked me almost allover my body.
I had hickeys on my whole neck, even in the middle, on my breasts, chest, inner thighs and probably also on my ass cheeks.
She bit the lime and let our eyes cross again for a moment.
Rose's first shot was terrible, the second one was definitely better.
"I wanna have one as well, if it's okay to you" Daphne said.
Rose shook her head and her cheeks got even redder than before.
Daphne licked Rose's neck, instead of drawing a line with her finger, which made Rose whine and Daphne chuckle in satisfaction.
After biting the lime, they had the most intense eye contact I've ever seen.

After two hours of playing, the bottle exploded while Daphne was spinning it.
Constance and I were completely covered in beer.
"Holy shit" I swore taking the top of my pj off and leaving my breast covered only by the bra.
"So truth...
-Daphne began to say, she was the drunkest, I'd never seen her like this-
Have you ever slept with the same person as one of your relatives?"
All the answers were 'Hell no' or 'I wish I didn't'.
I didn't answer and no one seemed to notice, thank God.
"Dare, drink as much shots as your body count"
My eyes got wide.
We all neared the table and took a bottle of alcool each.
I have to admit it, there was a time in my life where one of the few ways I had to face my depression was sex, it made me feel something so I didn't really care who I was having sex with, the important thing to me was to not feel empty and numb.
Amita and Rose finished at 1, Constance 3, Leslie 5.
Tammy finished at 8, Debbie and Lou at 12.
"I don't wanna have an alcohol coma so I quit here" I stuttered not even being able to stand properly, everyone chuckled but not Lou and Debbie.
"Then just tell us the number" Lelie said, while braiding Amita's hair.
I sat down and focused while counting on my fingers.
"I guess... 32, maybe, I'm not sure"
"Fuck" Tammy and Lou whispered at that number.
"Alright let's go to bed kiddos, it's 5 in the morning" Debbie said.
"I need to take a shower" I said motioning her to look at me, still wet cause of the beer.

When I came back from the bathroom, Lou was the only one awake.
"Come here" she whispered, laying down and patting her hand on the pillow beside hers.
I smiled and laid down as well.
Her arms wrapped me, making me feel safe and loved.
"Don't fall asleep like this" I said while falling asleep.


We woke up really late and all struggling from headache.
I noticed Amita was cooking and the table was set.
The awkwardness for all that had happened the night earlier was solid but we were all trying to avoid it.
We slowly sat all at our usal places.
Amita had prepared coffee, coconut roll and had put a pill of aspirin beside every cup.
I just ate half roll and drank the coffe after having swallowed the pill.
We did nothing but work that day and both, Rose and I, went to bed really early.


I woke up at 9, went down stairs to grab a cup of coffe and went to the bathroom to get ready and leave.
I took a shower, washed my hair, did a bit of skin care and covered all the hickeys and wounds with a huge amount of foundation and green concealer.
At about 12 we were both ready.
We put the dress for the gala in the trunk and left.
As we arrived, two creepy men (one of them was also bald) drove us in the vault.
I sat on a white couch and Rose went with them to go sign up some papers.

After a while Rose was back with the Toussaint.
She put it on me and I was mesmerized, it was simply amazing and identical to our fake one.
"Alright, we can take it off and then we can try it with the frock. Hang on" she said attempting to take off the heavy jewel.
"Sorry, you cannot do it.
It requires a special magnet" the bald man said with a russian accent.
I looked at Rose from the reflexion in the mirror with my eyes wide.
The man showed Rose the chain in his hands before walking towards the table and putting it back in the box.
"T-that's cool.
Amazing.
Brilliant.
Can I... Can I just see that again, out of interest?" Rose asked stuttering.
As the man walked towards the table to take the jewel, I handed Rose my phone with the camera opened.
We waited a while before Vogue's stylists arrived.
Immediately as they arrived we walked in the changing room and Rose made me wear my dress.
"Y/n..." she whispered with a shaky voice.
I tuned around and looked at her confused and a bit scared.
"What's wrong?"
"This dress is twice you" she whispered.
I looked at the mirror and, for the first time in my life, I saw myself skinny, pale, bony.
I saw her snapping her fingers in front of her eyes and trying to make it fit the most she could.
I felt the happiest ever,it was insane.
"D-don't worry, I'll fix it before the ball"
Vogue and Cartier loved the dress and all of them complimented Rose.
We drank some champagne to party a little and then left.
