You Stole My Heart

Part 35: Have Yourself A Little Merry Little Christmas

December 24, 1974

"It's Christmas!" Roger shouted loudly to wake me up. "What?" I yawned. "Christmas, today is going to be a very important day, for you and for me." Roger whispered as he kissed my cheek.

I forgot, oh yes, it was Christmas! I immediately jumped out of bed and put on my bathrobe and slippers, then I immediately skipped to Benjamin's bedroom to see if he was awake yet.

Benjamin was already fully awake. "Hello mamas dear angel, did you sleep well? Today is the day we are going to open your presents." I said, Benjamin was happy and clapped his hands. We were all so excited, we had been looking forward to it all year, Christmas is a wonderful celebration.

Roger put on his glittery suit and stood spraying hairspray in front of the bathroom mirror. Gradually I put on my glittery dress and my silver heels.

Benjamin I also put on a cute suit, with a sweet red bow on it. "Look, tough man!" I said brushing his hair to the side.

Roger walked into the bedroom, "My goodness, look at you, how very beautiful!" Roger said as he took Benjamin in his arms. Benjamin smiled and liked what his daddy said.

"I hardly recognize him anymore when he looks like this." Roger laughed as he kissed me. "He's getting so big too!" I answered.

Roger put Benjamin in front of the mirror. "Who is that handsome boy?" he laughed. I chuckled, enjoying every day how Roger interacted with Benjamin. The bond between son and father was wonderfully beautiful.

We celebrated Christmas here at home, the band members passed by Roger's best friends.

When we were downstairs, I was standing in front of the Christmas tree with Benjamin in my arms. "Look at the presents, so many!" I said excitedly. Benjamin looked out his eyes and had the compulsion to open them.

"Can't wait to give my present to you Antonia, I'm so excited for it." Roger said with a flirtatious face. I looked behind me and looked at Roger, "It must be a special gift." I smiled. Roger joined me by the Christmas tree, put an arm around me and rubbed Benjamin's cheek.

Roger sighed and went outside to smoke a cigarette. I put Benjamin on the floor, he immediately started playing with his blocks.

I looked in the fridges at the food for tonight, I had brought vegetarian meat because Brian was vegetarian, we already understood that. We had bought kinds of wines, alcohol drinks and soft drinks.

After I checked everything, I vacuumed the whole house.

Secretly I had a tingling feeling in my stomach, I was excited about what Roger is going to give me.

After I was ready to tidy up the house, I flopped down on the couch. Roger sat down next to me and stroked my hand. "Our third Christmas together." Said Roger. I chuckled, "We'll hold out for a long time." I smiled.

"I'm glad we have a great bond, I really love you, Rog." I whispered in Roger's ear. Roger kissed my cheek and put an arm around me. "I love you much more than you love me." Roger said in a hot tone in his voice.

Benjamin threw a block at Roger's leg. "Ouch!" Roger bit his lip. "Naughty Benjamin!" I laughed.

Benjamin had to laugh because he knew he wanted to be funny. Benjamin also wanted a little attention when we were kissing.

Roger laughed and rubbed his leg. "Did I deserve this, boy?" Roger said as he looked at Benjamin with a smile. Benjamin became shy and walked towards Roger, suddenly he jumped into Roger's arms. "My prankster." Roger laughed again.
