Thomas and I sing along with 'All I want for Christmas is you". By now it's already december 10 so it's kind of time to go Christmas shopping, since Maddison, Lina, Mauro, Vincenzo and I got invited by the band, to celebrate Christmas with them. The last month, since Victoria and I are official, everyone got to meet each other, and I love the band so much, they are already like my family.

Today is Thomas' and mine first Christmas shopping session, since there are gonna follow many more I believe. " Oh, I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know. Make my wish come true. Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you. You, baby", screaming on this song, Thomas drives us towards the city. "Maybe you guys should switch singer, Dam can play guitar too right", chuckling I search for a new Christmas song on my phone, and click on 'jingle bells rock'.

"I know I'm a way better singer than our beloved Damiano", he grins, parking the car in the middle of room. Christmas trees and fake presents everywhere, there are people walking with bags full of decorations, presents and Christmas snacks. "It's the most wonderful time of the year", we laugh, seeing everyone struggle with too large bags.

"Liv, honestly I have no fucking idea what to buy for your little siblings", Thomas says, when we stand in front of the toy store, and Thomas had to smoke a cigarette. "Lina likes crafting, and the boys like race cars and gaming", I say, searching in the jewelry store next to the toy store, for something for Victoria, but it's all so basic and so not Victoria. "Said that a little earlier and I didn't have to stress", annoyed he throws his cigarette on the ground, and pulls me into the store. "Awh she will love this", I squeal while holding a craft kit, so she can make her own horses out of all kinds of materials. "Do you think Mauro and Vincenzo will like this for the two of them?", Thomas asks, holding a nintendo switch. I wide-eyed, "o my gosh, they have been talking about that thing for months, they will love it".

We paid over two hundred euro's in the toy store for the three youngest, but I'm sure this is going to be the best Christmas they have ever had in their lives. "Let's go get Mac donalds, I'm hungry", Thomas says, making me roll with my eyes. "We literally have so many people to go", I say, letting my eye go through the shop window of the jewelry store again, without seeing something my girl would like. "I don't care, it's not Christman yet", he says, pulling me towards the fast food restaurant at the other side of the square.

"What are you buying for Vic?", he asks, while stealing my fries for the tenth time. "Stop fucking doing that", I pull the fries out of his hand, and take a big bite from my double cheeseburger. "I don't know yet, I want to give her some jewelry I guess, but I don't know which.", I say. "There is this shop in Rome, where they sale vintage things, we should go there, we might find some things for the other too". I nod, when a fan steps towards us, or well, I think it's a fan.

"Hi Thomas, can we take a picture?". behind her I see some of her friends making pictures of us, I ignore it, and continue eating my second cheeseburger. "Yes sure", the guitarist puts down his Chicken nuggets and smiles for the picture. She giggles annoying, but I get it, I would also giggle if I would meet my idol. As soon as the girl is done and walks away, Thomas steals some fries again before he sits down. "Fucking Thomas!", I snap, noticing the girl is still filming.

"Didn't that bother you?", I ask, as soon as we walk out of the McDonalds, towards the next store. "What?", he asks. "That those girls were filming you, or us the whole time". He sighs, chuckling. "I'm used to it, it happens all the time". "That sucks", I say, and he chuckles again. "No, I love my fans". "Yes, but they are stalking you", he shrugs, and points at a store at the edge of the square. "That is it", it is a vintage store, but it looks so modern. "Wow that's sick", I take a little run, and walk into the shop.

We have been in this store for almost and hour now, and all I have is a super fancy blazer, for myself. I can't find the perfect thing for Victoria. "Wait, I know something", Thomas comes to me, from behind some closets, filled with flaired pants. "You can also give her a night at a chic hotel, and than just a regular necklace with it", he says, making me think about the fact that I don't have money for presents for so many more people and a night with my girlfriend at a chic hotel. "I don't have money for that", I say, and without saying something he pushes a hundred euro in my hand.

"Thomas no, I can't take that", I push it back, and he gives me a deadly stare. "Take it", he says, holding his laugh. "Thomas!", I snap, but he ignores me and walkes towards the exit of the store, to pay the things he bought. He only bought a blouse, a leather pants and earring for himself, so it actually did not help, that we came here because we only bought things for ourselves.

"You should really do that, Vic will absolutely love it", he says, and I grin. "You also absolutely love your own ideas right", I say, and he chuckles. According to my watch, it's 16:43. "We should go home", he says, and I nod. "Yes, can you bring me home?", I ask, while we walk back towards Thomas his dark blue car. "No, you are staying for diner", he says. "Thomas, we had McDonalds, like an hour ago, I don't need diner", I laugh. We arrived at the car, and everything disappears on the back seat, and we both sit down.

"We should plan another Christmas shopping session in a few days", he chuckles, and is right, we only have presents for Lina, Mauro and Vincenzo by now. "Yes we should", I say, opening my phone. Only a messages from Victoria who asks if I stay for diner. Thomas looks with me on my phone. "See, another person who wants you to stay for diner today", he grins, and I roll with my eyes. "Fine, but I kind of promised Maddie that I would be home to watch Twilight together tonight, so can you bring me home tonight?", I ask, making puppy eyes.

"Your girlfriend will bring you home, I need to go to bed after diner", he says, looking at the road, and I raise my eyebrows. "Says who?". "Says my mother", I laugh, texting Victoria that I'll be there with diner.

"I'll have diner with you guys, see you in a few minutes"

After texting Victoria I search for Maddison, who stands as 'Maddog' in my contacts. Thomas hums along with another Christmas song.

"I'll have diner at the band house, see you tonight for a twilight night"

I want to put away my phone, but my twin sister immediately texts me back.

"We are also there"

I chuckle, putting my phone away. I'm so fucking happy my family is getting along so good with the band, I was so scared they wouldn't like them.
