Priceless Sensation

Christmas Day

The next day came fairly quickly, and in only just hours we would be back at Ted's parents' house. I wake to find Ted not laying next to me. So I get out of bed and make my way out of the bedroom to find him. I yawn and stretch while looking in different rooms. It dawns on me where he is because I can smell food. So I head to the kitchen. I walk in and wrap my arms around his waist. 

"Morning."

"Morning. I was wondering when you were gonna get up."

"Felt like sleeping. At least until I realized you weren't there."

"Figured you'd enjoy waking up to breakfast, before we go over to Mom and Dad's in a few hours."

"Of course. A great idea."

I kiss his cheek before going to sit down. He finished cooking and serves me a plate then gets one for himself.

"I've got your gifts to bring with us when we go too. How I was able to keep them hidden from you is beyond me." I laugh. 

"You're good at hiding." He pouts a little.

"I am aren't I?"

"Yes."

"That's a good thing."

"Yeah yeah."

"Hey you hide things well too."

"True."

"I mean whatever you got me, you've been hiding pretty well."

"Because it's important that you don't find it."

"I know, you have to give it to me today, that's how important it is."

"Yes." He nods.

"I can't wait."

"Me either." He grins.

"And just think when we get home later...I make cookies."

"Yessssss." Ted cheers.

"Try not stealing all of the cookie dough this time." I laugh. 

"I'll try."

"I know it's good, but it's for cookie making."

"I know."

"You and that sweet tooth of yours."

"Can't help it."

"Of course you can't."

"I promise I'll try to behave."

"Good."

He leans over and kisses my cheek. After I finish eating, I sit back in my chair, relaxing for a bit.

"That was good." I tell him. 

"Why thank you."

"You're welcome."

Ted finishes and cleans up the plates and everything. Then I decide that I might as well get dressed for the day, so I move from where I'm sitting and head back into the bedroom, searching through everything for something to wear. Ted joins me in the bedroom once the dishes are put away. 

"Need help?" He asks when he sees me searching.

"Yeah."

"Hmm..." He says, looking through what's hanging up in the closet with his arms wrapped around me and his chin resting on my shoulder. "...what about that?" He points out a white, long sleeved, v-neck shirt that had crystals on the side.

"Hmm sure." I agree. 

"And jeans would go good with that too."

"Right."
