"Ew no that's ugly" Maeve said as I hold up a chucky doll that was dressed up as Santa. "And creepy" she then adds.

I pout.

"I like it"

Maeve shakes her head and walks further into the store as she looks at all the decorations. I put the doll down and follow her. "Should we be one of those people who do their decorations with a theme or like colors" she asks.

I think about it and nod. "What about we get white and these blue lights?" I ask as I hold up the two colors.

"That blue is cold as fuck ain't it" I say as I smile staring at them. Maeve nods and I put it in the cart she is pushing.

Maeve and I spent a hour grabbing things to decorate the house with. I had to drive to two different stores for all of these decorations. The car is full to the max with all the bags and us.

"Dear god why the fuck is my living room full of Walmart and what ever store that is bags" Precious said in shock as I brought the last bag in.

"Decorations" Maeve said and waved her hands around all excited. I laughed and set the last bag down before sitting down on an open spot on the floor.

"Yeah y'all definitely not getting help with all this shit" Brandon said as he chewed on a cookie.

Dickhead of a best friend I swear.

They don't make best friends like they use to.

"Make Grey do all this shit" I suggest making Precious cut her eyes at me. "Or not" I then add with a tired sigh.

"No Divine come on we said we would decorate" Maeve says making me huff loudly but listen and stand up to help.

Only because it's you.

"The fuck is this" Brandon says holding up the Santa chucky doll. Oh shit.

Maeve looks at it before glaring at me. I smile sheepishly at her and grab it from Brandon's hands. "You better keep that damn doll away from me Divine. I'm not playing."

"But but" I pout and look at the doll before looking back at her. "But my ass now come help"

I put the doll down and begin helping her put up everything. "I'll have Grey go out and get a tree" Precious says but I shake my head no.

"No it's fine I'm going to get one with Brandon tomorrow" I say making Brandon look up from his phone with a confused look on his face. "When the fuck did I sign up for that" he says making me quickly glare at him.

"Shut up you're going" I say making him dramatically whine and groan loudly then stomp out the room.

Big baby.

"Wait but we already bought a tree" Maeve says holding up the fake silver Christmas tree we bought earlier.

I shake my head. "The one we get tomorrow is for the venue. Precious wanted to get her own and decorate it for the reception herself." I say making Maeve make an O face, nodding her head.

It takes two hours to decorate the whole house, to Maeve's liking, and by time we're done; it's close to four in the afternoon. I immediately head to my room and slam myself down on the bed tiredly.

Need a quick power nap.

"Divine come on" Brandon then yells, reminding me about our tattoo appointment. I groan loudly and sit up.
