Joaquin Phoenix imagines

Christmas surprise

 Joaquin is away on location for filming thus making it your first christmas without him so his sisters invite you over to spend it with them but it actually ends up being a secret plan to surprise you with Joaquin. 

"Babe I'm sorry...but the shooting has a delay of 3 days, we'll be shooting the 24th in the morning and during the night of the 25th but I promise I'll make it up to you!" apologized Joaquin through your computer screen as he passed a hand on his tired eyes. You sighed, it was going to be your first Christmas without Joaquin, he was filming at the exact opposite of LA, you weren't expecting to spent Christmas alone, and now you couldn't even find a flight to spend Christmas with your parents.

"It's not your fault, we'll do something when you'll be able to come back." you replied, giving him a smile, trying to hide your sadness, you didn't want him to be upset for something he wasn't responsible for. Still, he was good, very good at reading people and must have felt your disappointment.

"Hey, you won't be alone, I'm pretty sure my sisters will come and get you as soon as they hear about it." He tried to reassure you with a sweet smile.

You were suddenly startled by someone knocking at your door. "I'll be right back!" you told him as you rushed to the door, who could it be?

"Ah isn't our favorite girl in the world!" exclaimed Summer as she jumped in your arms, while Rain gave you a big kiss on your cheek.

"Hey I wasn't expecting you!" you bubbled happily, hugging them tight.

"What you thought we'll leave you alone while our little bro is playing?"

"Hey I'm right here..." replied Joaquin voice teasingly. Both sisters arched an eyebrow and rushed to the computer, you chuckled, they were balls of energy.

"Speaking of the devil...as you won't take care of her, we will!" Scolded Summer with a hint of playfulness. They chatted with him for a bit until, until you had to leave with them to celebrate.

"I love you; I'll think about you and I hope it will be okay for you too." you wished him; a bit worried, he was even more lonely than you were over there. He gave you a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, it won't be as bad as you think." he added winking at you "I love you too.", you send him a kiss with your hand and hang up.

"Come on we're going to have fun, plus our parents will be delighted to see you!" cheered Rain while patting your back, you put on your coat, ready to leave and enjoy the day as much as you could.

When you arrived at your parents in law house, it was around 3pm, and there was a lot to do, the house was decorated but you still had to prepare Christmas dinner. You decided to help Arlyn to bake various sorts of biscuits while Summer made mulled wine to drink while waiting for dinner.

The day passed quicker than you thought, you all had cooked all day, now you were resting in the sofa, watching one of those cheesy Christmas movies.

"Come on! Kiss him already!" exclaimed Rain at the TV, she was so into it, you couldn't help but laugh.

As it got dark outside, you set the table and helped your family to heat the food. It was a bit of the rush, everything had to be cooked nicely. The dinner went on happily, between the sisters jokes and dancing with Arlyn your mind was kept busy, and now Christmas music had gotten louder, all of you dancing and giggling while drinking mulled wine. Until a ringing at the door distracted you.

"Were you expecting someone?" you asked the family surprised.

"Maybe a choir or something, can you go check?" asked you Summer as she poured herself another drink. You nodded and went to open the door.

"Have you been a good girl this year?" you squealed in surprise; Joaquin had his arm leaning against the doorframe, a Santa's hat on his head, a bag over his shoulder. You jumped in his arms, your eyes wet, you were so happy he was actually here. You caressed the back of his head, and leaned in to kiss his lips, he grabbed your hips in return, you realized how much you had missed the contact with his skin, four long months, away from each other, you intended on enjoying each moment you'll be spending with him for the next days, actually you won't even leave his side.

"Looks like she loves this surprise huh?" teased Rain, elbowing her sister, watching your couple tenderly kissing each other. When you heard this, your lips left Joaquin's and you looked at your family in law with a falsely outraged face.

"Surprise?! You knew about this?!" you exclaimed, then turned back to Joaquin who was chuckling and playfully slapped his chest.

"Well, it was a last-minute change so I figured out I might surprise you..." explained Joaquin, tenderly looking at you, peppering your face with kisses, how could you stay mad at such a sweet man?

You finally let him in, he let down his bag and went to hug his family. Now Christmas was complete. You never left Joaquin's side, you even fed him the dinner, softened by this scene, his family had gone farther in the house to leave you a bit of intimacy.

Now, the both of you were laying on the sofa, you were snuggled against his chest, distractingly caressing his tummy while looking at the lights twinkling on the Christmas tree.

"It's good to be back home." murmured Joaquin, kissing the top of your head. You straightened to look at him in the eyes.

"You're my home..." you confessed back, kissing his lips once again, resting your forehead against his. "Christmas exceeded my expectations, with your family then you, that was amazing."

"I'm glad..." he replied taking possession of your lips, this time, not letting go of you, deepening the kiss, your tongue meeting his. You felt desire grow in your belly, you wanted to feel him fully, before he has to be away from you once again.

You heard giggles not far from you, making the both of you break the kiss. It was Rain and Summer; they were looking at you and Joaquin like people would look at a cute kitten.

"Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt, this was way too romantic!" Squealed Summer happily.

"You know you have a room waiting for you upstairs, right?" added Rain teasingly making you laugh, you turned your head to look at your lover, arching your eyebrow suggestively, he directly understood what you were suggesting.

"Alright...last one upstairs will be the last one to open its gifts!" he declared getting up and starting to run across the house.

"Joaq you're cheating!" you exclaimed running after him, laughing, it was definitely the best Christmas you ever had.
